@namb_sbc

Next up: @namb_sbc's "Undivided" video series. It's not as cartoonish as Anthony ONeal's #WhitePanel but has a very similar vibe.

"If I'm a Jewish person in the first century context + I think of a Gentile, historically, I think 400 years of slavery in Egypt..." @DerwinLGray

@NAMB_SBC

@NAMB_SBC @DerwinLGray "That Jerusalem Council was like 'how do we eliminate the obstacles,' and the way they explained their rationale is: we don't want to make it hard for the Gentiles to come to God. So I want to say I don't want to make it hard for our black neighbors to hear the gospel." @jdgreear

@NAMB_SBC

@NAMB_SBC @DerwinLGray @jdgreear More from Derwin:

"We don't become color-blind, we become color-blessed."

"You cannot spell 'grace' without 'race.'"

@NAMB_SBC

@NAMB_SBC @DerwinLGray @jdgreear "Psalm 89:14 says justice + righteousness are at the very foundation of the throne of God...white churches, you will find us predominantly preaching righteousness...I'll be real careful here, coz anytime you generalize, that's a general lie...black church, there's more justice."

@NAMB_SBC

@NAMB_SBC @DerwinLGray @jdgreear JD undermines the woke party line while citing the Good Samaritan: "he didn't need to repent for the guy being beaten up."

More Derwin: "Whiteness is not the normative for Christianity." (Does anyone of any stature argue this?)

@NAMB_SBC

@NAMB_SBC @DerwinLGray @jdgreear "God doesn't make his appeal through us if we're not speaking. So if God is giving all of us the ministry of reconciliation, then you can't remain silent in the face of injustice or mistreatment...because God's given us the ministry of reconciliation." @JimmyScroggins

@NAMB_SBC

@NAMB_SBC @DerwinLGray @jdgreear @JimmyScroggins JD quotes David French (sounding very CRTish) to give "talking points" on restitution for slavery:

"Privileges associated with the color of one's skin, whiteness...Structural racism...has been a feature of the social, economic, + political systems in which we all exist."

@NAMB_SBC

@NAMB_SBC @DerwinLGray @jdgreear @JimmyScroggins "It's not just that it's happening + the system is not working for African-Americans. But we're talking about a system that, when we talk about systematic racism, that is still intentionally trying to oppress." @dhatilewis, citing Galatians 2:4

"The white Christian needs to learn that they tend to begin in the New Tstmt + with the resurrection of Jesus. So it's this sort of triumphal, good news message. And that's part of it. But a lot of black Christians begin in the Old Tstmt with the Exodus narrative." @jemartisby

@JemarTisby

@JemarTisby The reference here to "white Christian nationalism" here is a callback to a part of this interview where he ties Mike Pence to the KKK burning crosses + setting up an altar in front of Confederate monuments.

@JemarTisby

@JemarTisby "Racial justice efforts, the pace tends to be dictated by the fragility of white people. Churches that are attempting to be multi-racial, they may make good attempts but they're always thinking about 'how are the white people gonna respond?'"

"If you're not gonna be the one who...takes on racial justice as your life's work, okay, but give us money. Like, write the check...A lot of people denigrate money because it seems so worldly...I'm like, I'm cool with it. Coz we need money." @JemarTisby

@JemarTisby

@JemarTisby LATER: "The church ought to be the [leader] on reparations...You have many white Christians waiting around for the federal government to do something, which may or may not ever happen. In the meantime, why don't you take action yourself?

@timkellernyc

Thread: @timkellernyc's "Racism + Corporate Evil" speech, debunked. This is a foundational work in the woke canon, cited or plagiarized by pastors great + small, shared in many a Facebook comment thread to argue for reparations, contra Ezekiel 18. 1/32

@timkellernyc

@timkellernyc We'll see here that Tim's scriptural case for corporate guilt (restitution for + from entire demographics), applied to modern sociology, is sloppy if not misleading. A doctorate, fame, and best-selling books do not excuse sloppy and misleading exegesis. 2/32

@timkellernyc

@timkellernyc POINT 1: In Joshua 7, Keller points to Achan's whole family receiving punishment for his sin. By quoting nothing directly, he skips over verse 15, where God commands: "Whoever is caught with the devoted things shall be destroyed by fire, along with all that belongs to him." 3/32

"When have you been the robber in this parable? I know I'm not the only one...if racism still exists, we are no better than the robbers who stripped this man of his dignity." @RachelDotzler

@RachelDotzler

@RachelDotzler "We are antiracist, so far as we understand it. The problem is, I just don't think we understand it at all. And to go one step further, I don't think we want to understand it that far, because that means we have a lot of unlearning to do."

@RachelDotzler

@RachelDotzler "Does anyone else find those words interesting? 'Do this and you will live'? What does Jesus mean by that? 'Live.' Like, was this guy gonna die? Did Jesus just threaten him? I mean, probably not, but it's interesting, isn't it? Loving our neighbor means, we will live?"

@jdgreear

I've previously clipped @jdgreear preaching 3rd way-ism/no policy stances from Luke 12/brothers' inheritance. Here it is in early 2019, as well. Had to be disappointing to the woke audience. In essence, "the church must do justice but everyone's free to decide the best solution."

@jdgreear

@jdgreear Oh wow. More of his 2020 political stuff is recycled material. Next one (from this 2019 talk) is: I hear your complaints about taking clear sides, but that can backfire badly like when we endorsed the invasion of Iraq.

@jdgreear

@jdgreear And then: Simon the zealot + Matthew the tax collector were on opposite sides of the debate on Roman occupation.

This section is a MAJOR walkback of the "this isn't extracurricular" talking point, isn't it? Or am I missing something? Gonna file this in UNWOKE PREACHER CLIPS.

@jdgreear

"Today, 20% of Southern Baptist membership is people of color. Which is something, honestly, knowing our history, I do not understand. It is an act of extraordinary generosity." @jdgreear

@jdgreear

@jdgreear This is where the "gender justice" clip falls in the wider speech:

https://twitter.com/WokePreacherTV/status/1321834806896971776

@jdgreear

@jdgreear "We tend to put helping the needy or the oppressed under the heading of charity. And we say, 'if you don't do that, then you're stingy.' But God calls it injustice, which is a much more serious thing...you start to realize, 'what's this election look like from that perspective?'"
