Wrong Think II

like to give you all a warm welcome onthis uh beautiful wintry Sabbath morningit's our annual religious libertySabbath and uh I stand before you heretoday but I want to recognize the effortand the planning and the prayers of ourreligious liberty committee uh there isa full day planned out uh today thisafternoon we have three seminars uh thefirst of which we we were thinking aboutabout 5 months ago and the first ofthose discussions is on is on socialmedia censorship who would have known 5months ago that we are where we aretoday uh we'll then be talking about theuh the Chinese Cultural Revolution inwhich millions of people perished andthe implications for Christians todayand then we'll conclude with another uhtalk for myself uh so we are that startsat 2:30 this afternoon and uh for thoseof you who uh don't make it back we'dlike to invite you to watch it at ourwebsite and for those watching youonline we we welcome you today and wepray that God's spirit will bless all ofus as we share the word of God thismorning our topic today if you look inthe bulletin uh the first sermon iscalled wrong think 2 and the secondservice is called wrong think one nowpeople have asked me about this was thisa printing error no it was not uh was itan example of wrong think that wrongthink one comes after wrong think two nothat is not the reason either uh thereis another more prosaic reason and thatis that when these sermons go on audioverse I want people to listen to them inthe different order and uh so there isthere is a rationale for the way thesermons are are are labeled so today wehave three talks wrong think two thenwrong think one and this afternoon wrongthink three and then I'll be hightailing it out of here so uh today uhwe're going to be talking about seriousmatters because I think you would agreewith me we are living in serious TimesYes uh we see America changing beforeour eyes and what happened in theelection was just the result theculmination of broader social changeswithin America over the last 20 to 30years and so the our first uh topictoday is wrong think 2 I'd invite you toBow your heads with me and we'll invitethe presence of the holy spirit so shallwe pray dear heavenly father we want tothank you that you are on your thronenow though the Nations rage and rage atyou you hold them in derision we want tothank you Father that your kingdom is akingdom of justice and mercy and peaceand love and that one day Jesus willcome through the Clouds Of Glory and allEarthly kingdoms and All Nationsincluding our own will be wiped away andin Everlasting Kingdom of Grace will beestablished so father until that day maywe understand how we are to live in themidst of trouble times I pray thatyou'll speak through me and for me thatyour holy spirit will speak to each ofour hearts Whispering this is the waywalking in it we pray for the protectionof our angels as We Gather here todayand your blessing upon those who arehere and those who are watching onlinein the name of Jesus we askamen all right so um as you've come toguess you know I I tend to deliver thesereligious liberty sermons and it's notmy first choice I can assure you but Ifind myself doing these religiousliberty sermons once a year and they'renot kind of um they're not kind ofsermon lights you know they are they'redealing with significant matters and sotoday I invite you you know to keep youneed to keep your thinking caps on uhwe're going to look through um some ofthe major words that our our youngpeople are growing up with these daysand we're going to ask ourselves how dowe understand this biblically is there aBiblical respones there a Biblicalalternative to what is happening in ourworld today and if so what is thatbiblical alternative so we're going tostart out by setting the history youknow it's important to set lay out thehistorical context why because if you'redivorced from your history you're opento totalitarian regimes the people whoare divorced from history are open toauthoritarianism because they don't knowtheir past they have lost theirhistorical memory and they've lost theircultural memory and therefore as um asGeorge Orwell said whoever controls thepast controls the future so it'simportant that we understand the past inorder to understand how we've got towhere we are today so we're going tostart out as we tend to do with theseissues in Europe in the mid 19th centuryit was an era of profound economic andpolitical and philosophical flux uhduring the Enlightenment we we we weemphasize r rationalism and reason andlogic and scientific research andskepticism and they were advancingagainst um um Superstition Superstitionand clericalism but a long come comes aguy in England who was a clergymanoriginally Charles Darwin who lived 1809to 1882 and when he came out with histheory of evolution he provided um thefoundation for a new worldview in ourworld today without uh without having aChristian influence upon it so withCharles Darwin we have the possibilityof an atheist worldview appearing in ourworlds in the mid 1840s now parallel toDarwin we have this character here KLMarx and he argued uh in his writingsthat the working class should carry outorganized revolutionary action to topplecapitalism and bring about socioeconomic emancipation in which thegovernment would be an all powerfulgovernment would control all resourcesand all means of production to in theoryensure equality now Marx's ideas werefirst put into action in the RussianRevolution of1917 my wife is from Russia she has uhgreat great great grandparents who livedand suffered through the RussianRevolution they lost an awful lot duringthe Russian Revolution he was followedthen by Joseph Stalin one of the uhworst mass murderers in human historythe head of the Union of socialistSoviet republics orUSSR and uh he lived 1878 1878 to1953 and now the imposition of socialistDoctrine came at enormous cost I I findit astonishing today that that manypeople have no idea of the history herebut the history is is pretty simple uhthe imposition of KL Marx's doctrines uhthere you see a map on the screen of theconcentration camps and the reeducationcamps across the Soviet Union there youhave uh Magadan there's Vlad bosto downthere those are the island of sakinlabor camps here you have up in theArctic Circle here morans in Russianthere the Arctic Circle is around hereeverything north of this and uh in thesein these camps tens of millions ofpeople passed through during the time ofthe Soviet Union it was a horrendous eracountless Soviet citizens innocentcitizens perished in labor camps inconcentration camps in mass populationdeportations Mass executions show trialsthe collectivization of the Agriculturalsector in the Ukraine in the 1930sJoseph Stalin took all the grain fromthe small farmers and he created aman-madeit was called Theodore and between fourand 6 million people were deliberatelystarved to death because they had smallholding farms and that was againstsocialist Doctrine you see there aresome pictures of some of the camps inThe Killing Fields of the Soviet Unionthere was the terror The Purge ofanti-revolutionary forces in the 1930sin which Stalin encouraged people towrite letters of denunciation about yourboss if you don't like your boss accusehim of being um an agitator againstsocialism and he would disappear hewould simply be canceleither executed or sent to a camp forthe rest of his life Marx's theorieswere then imposed elsewhere in the worldum for those who are familiar withhistory the K Rouge or the red K inFrench or The Killing Fields of Cambodiauh by Ma cardr in China the culturalrevolution in which again tens ofmillions of people perished manyChristians initially supported thecultural revolution only to discover asin most Revolutions in the last 200years that those who support therevolution are often the first victimsof those revolutions but tens of me tensof millions perished in China duringtheir cultural revolution that was in mylifetime in most of your lifetime andmost recently we have the example ofVenezuela which is perhaps the richestnation on Earth or it should be givenits o reserves and yet a recent World umUnited Nations report says over 90% areliving in abject poverty uh after theimposition of a one party Marxist Statenow if you if you add up the numbers inthe 20th century alonehistorians estimate that over 110million people died um at the hands ofmarxist ideology that's just those whodied that's not counting those who weredehumanized and imprisoned indefinitelysome for 10 or 25 years sentences nowthe publication in 1973 of this bookhere the gulag archipelago by Alexandersoliton it demolished any pretense tomoral Authority on the part of marxistthinking and why was that so solitessentially said that if a system canonly Survive by imprisoning andexecuting tens of millions of its owncitizens then that system has no moralAuthority and I think we would agreewith that as Christians today no systemhas any moral Authority if it can onlySurvive by executing by the millions itsown citizens and that's precisely whathappened during the 20th century withMarxist ideology so after thepublication of this book um Marxistideologues they moved on and they cameup with something called critical theorynow Marx understood the world as being astruggle between the Bourgeois and theproletariat that is the factory ownersand the workers and the workers aregoing to re Rebel and have adictatorship of the proletariat as hecalled it but from the 1960s onwards umthese theorists came up with criticaltheory now KL Marx understands the worldfrom economic relationships and criticaltheory understands the world throughPower relationships so critical theorywhich is the basis for social justiceWarriors is not actually concerned withJustice person say it is concerned withpower and the allocation of power withina given Society it's a critical criticalpoint to understand social justiceWarriors are not looking for justicethey're looking for power redistributionthat's the essential worldview that theyhave when they look at the world todaynow within critical theory you have avariety of areas of critical thinkingthere's critical race Theory which wewill discuss this afternoonintersectional feminism criticalsexuality studies postcolonial studiesindigenous studies fat studies blackstudies and the list goes on and on andon and these all share the sameessentially Marxist worldviewunderstanding power relationships withina given Society now there was an ItalianMarxist scholar called Antonio gramy andhe developed the concept of hegemonythis is the idea that there is adominance of one set of ideas oversociety and this is expressed asoppression by the oppressors over theoppressed and in America today we hear alot about white supremacy this is aclassic expression of emany whereConcepts such as being on time formeetings is viewed as white supremacy uhthe value of hard work is viewed now aswhite supremacy uh the importance of thenuclear family mother father andchildren is white supremacy this is thehegemony or the dominance of one set ofideas or Norms around which everythingelse in society um must Orient itselfand so um based on this idea these ideaof gramy we come to what is famouslyknown in in the academic world as theFrankfurt School and the Frankfordschool was a bunch of Scholars who leftum Nazi Germany and parts of Europe inthe1930s and they were applying the toolsof critical theory and uh Marxistthinking and they were trying tounderstand why does Marxism not takeroot in Liberal democracies with thejudeo-christian foundation that wastheir essential purpose why does Marxismnot take over in the west you see thenames of their key Scholars up therethat's a typo is Hawk Heimer not hormHeimer but nonetheless um these are someof the key Scholars now Hawk Heimer hewrote and he actually described what isa critical theory as opposed to atraditional theory now let me just helpjust share this if you're ananthropologist your job is to observe asociety in work in action in order tounderstand how and why it operates yesand an anthropologist does not intervenein that Society they're simply observingto understand the social dynamics thatis the role of an anthropologist and toa certain extent of a sociologist andthat is a traditional way of looking atthings whereas critical theory and thisis what hkim himself says he sayswhereas a traditional theory is meant tobe descriptive of some phenomenonusually social such as anthropology andAES to understand how it works and whyit works that way a critical theoryshould proceed from a prescriptivenormative moral vision for society thatis a critical theorist approaches his orher observation from the perspectivethat we need to there's a um an idealthat we need to strive for and theydescribe how the item being critiquedsuch as America today fails that Visionusually in a systemic sense this waswritten in the 1930s and prescribeactivism to subvert dismantle disruptoverthrow or change it this use of theword critical is drawn from Marx'sinsistence that everything be ruthlesslycriticized and from his admonition thatthe point of studying Society is tochange it so you see this language thisis going back 60 years and this is whatwe're hearing in the news today thepurpose of critical theory is not tounderstand any society it's to subvertit from within to problematizeeverything criticize everything say thateverything is problematic so that peopleare so discouraged they give up thefight from within and then that Nationbecomes it just falls into a Marxist oneparty totalitarian state this is what ishappening in America today and it'saffecting freedom of speech andinevitably it will affect freedom ofconscience as we will see in our secondsermon today the rise of totalitarianismin America today soa critical theory does not seek tounderstand what is it seeks to impose anew vision of a secular atheistdictatorship underpinned by Marxistdogma and so you might say that theroots of the tree are atheism the trunkof the tree is mar Carl Marx and thenthe branches are the areas of criticalstudy um fat studies lgbtq studiespostcolonial studies etc etc which areall recognized areas of academic studythese daysso uh we're going to focus today on twoof the branches of critical theory umtwo of the branches that you probablyhear a lot about two of the branchesthat you hear about on the news almoston a daily basis and they are diversityand inclusion and what is meant by thesetwo phrases because you've all heard thephrases diversity and inclusion yes sowhat what is meant by diversity andinclusion and it's really important tounderstand that language has beenweaponized in America in the last 10years language no longer means what youthink it means you may think thatdiversity means X but it actually doesnot mean anything like X as we're goingto discover here today in the eyes ofcritical theorist so we're going tofirst of all look at CR diversity nowcontrary to what you may assumediversity does not mean putting togethera team that differs along ethnicnational origin or gender based lines sofor instance and in our Lake Union hereum up until the the retirement of ourexecutive secretary our president um isan African-American our Treasurer has aHispanic heritage and our secretary umhas a white Caucasian Heritage so wehave we might say black brown and whiteto put it crudely is that diversity wemay think it is but no the answer is nowhy because those three individuals allshare a Biblicalworldview so just having differentcolors does not mean diversity havingdifferent Sexes male or female in yourteam does not represent diversitydiversity does not mean putting togethera team that represents differentsocioeconomic educational or even lifeexperience backgrounds this is notdiversity within critical theory Dogmayou may think that's what diversity isbut that is not what diversity isaccording to thetheoreticians in criticaltheory a person's identity and theirpolitics are inextricably linked there'sidentity politics andintersectionality and diversity is onlyachieved in critical theory byassembling a diverse representation oflived experience expences of Oppressionplease understand this diversity is onlyaccomplished when you reject thebiblical worldview and you adopt aMarxist atheist worldview and youinterpret the world through the lens ofoppressors and oppressed and diversityis only accomplished when you have allthe people down here who are theoppressed who they may be lgbtq orwhatever else they they may happen to beor you know um you know all the othercharacteristics of people cling toIdentity groups and they even thoughthey're mutually incompatible with oneanother they all share a hatred of ofthe oppressors and they all share ahatred of the biblical worldview this iswhat it means diversity within criticaltheory writing thus to hire a raciallyblack individual but not a politicallyblack individual is notdiversity why because such an individualis allegedly suffering from internalizedracism has a brainwashed subconsciousand is an unwitting accomplice to whitesupremacy and they are to be rejected ifyou are for instance a person of colorbut have a Biblical worldview you do notcount in the diversityStakes that's why Vice President Bidencould say if you don't vote for me youain't black to quote him literally whybecause a black has become a politicalidentity rather than an ethnic orcultural identity so thus it is todaythat if a man an African-American mandoes not subscribe to critical theory ifhe for instance believes that a man isnot only to father a child but to be afather to a child if he believes in thedivinely ordained nuclear family he isnotth authentically black within theViewpoint the worldview of criticaltheorists today he is to be demonized heis to be destroyed now many of you mayor may not have heard of cane West avery famous hipop artist in Americatoday and he has deviated from theideological reservation of criticaltheory and he has been destroyed by thecritical theorists in popular culturetoday he's viewed as being mentally illvulnerable bipolar or a race traitor sowhat does this mean inpractice wellgo back I don't want that slide justyet what does this mean in practice welldiversity means hiring people ofdifferent ethnic National sexualorientation biological sex or genderidentity backgrounds all with differentsubjective lived expressions ofOppression but who all think identicallyas christ-hating critical theoristsintent on problematizing absolutelyeverything about the organization theywork in and the nation they live in inall in order to subvert it from withineliminate the judeo foundationChristians of our foundations of oursociety replace the biblical worldviewwith an atheist worldview and eliminatedemocracy in favor of an all powerfulMarxist dictatorship that is whatdiversity means within the literaturedoes that sound a pleasing or Pleasantoption probably not now within your owninstitution um the Italian Marxistscholar Antonio Grampy he talks aboutthe concept of the Long March now if youare from history when Mount SE Tongconquered the nationalists in theChinese uh Civil War that led to theChinese Communist party and taking powerin China the Red Army engaged in whatwas known as the Long March it was along march to Victory and for many yearsMount seong and his generals led theCommunist armies against the Nationalistarmies of shank Kai Sheek and there wasthe concept of the Long March itliterally was a long march to Victorynow the theorists have evolved theconcept of the Long March and uh and theidea is that the West is to beeliminated and our freedoms are to beeliminated through the long Mar longmarch in which our judeo found judeoChristian foundations are to besubverted from within to be replacedwith an atheist worldview and onep partyMarxist dictatorships and the best wayto do it within your institution is tohire people who promote diversity andinclusion and and again what they saydiversity and inclusion is isn'tnecessarily what they mean by that andso um that is how what we're seeing inin America today that we have thesedogmas coming up you know like diversityis our strength have you ever thought tothink about have you stopped to thinkabout that for a minute diversity is ourstrength well can you think of any HumanInstitution in human history where theless we have in common the more likelywe are tosucceed it's a simple question ifdiversity truly is our strength is thereany institution in human history wherethe less we have in common the morelikely we are tosucceed I can't think of anything inhistory where the less we have in commonthe more like we are to succeed simplythat's not true and so diversity is isan ideological term that is used andpeople of good will they say yes webelieve in diversity without realizingwhat is meant by diversity diversityreally means that we all share acritical worldview we all share anatheist worldview we are rejecting thebiblical worldview and if anybody Straysoff that reservation they are to becanceled or destroyed we'll talk aboutcouncel culture in our second sermontoday and the impact of totalitarianismbut a classic example is the author ofthe Harry Potter books what's her nameis anybody remember JK Rowling an uhvery leading feminist in in Britain andshe questioned last year whether um andthere was a court case and shequestioned whether um a a a man couldcould actually claim to be a woman shequestioned transgender ideology and shewas subsequently trashed and cancelledby the the the social justice Warriorsand so she strayed off the ideologicalreservation and she's been destroyed asa result of thatand so they people eat their own whenthey get involved in this kind ofworldview so we talked about diversityfor a minute let's talk about inclusionnow if diversity you might say isdangerous from a world biblicalworldview perspective incl inclusion isInsidious because again what you imagineinclusion to mean does not equate towhat it means for trained Marxistactivists language has been weaponizedand these words no longer mean what youthought they used to mean now you mayimagine that inclusion means building ateam or an organization or a society andwe create space and mechanisms for allall voices to be heard I think we wouldall want that in a society we want asociety where every voice can be heardwe want a church where every voice canbe heard we want organizations whereevery voice can have a place at thetable and everybody's input is is valuedbut that is not what inclusion reallymeans that's the key Point what youthink it means is not what it actuallymeans within the ideologyinclusion means turning yourorganization into a safe space now haveyou heard the phrase safespace some of you must have heard thephrase a safe space this is a safe spacecolleges all across America of everykind are now declaring themselves to besafe spaces and many employers are nowsaying we are safe spaces now what doeswhat is meant within the critical theoryworldview by a safe space it means aninclusive environments that cannot allowfeelings of marginalization or exclusionfor any protected group or theirauthentic voices they Narrative of subyou cannot challenge their Narrative ofsubjective lived Express experience orof alleged oppression now what thismeans in practice is that uh if I go toa public school and I declare myself apenguin nothing in that public schoolcampus can ever be used to deny that I'ma penguin nothing can be nobody canquestion it everybody must affirm thatand anybody who questions my identity isa penguin then you are guilty of amicroaggression and that is hate speechand you must be deep platformed are youfollowing me on this yes I'm using anextreme example but you smile but thisthing is coming down thepike once we have transgender you'llhave trans species people are alreadyclaiming to be transspecies and then you must acceptit and so inclusion means that the merepresence of individuals books speechesor any idea in any format that disagreeswith a dogma of any protected group isto be denounced as a microaggressionthat causes trauma and harm this this isone reason why people by the tens ofthousand in the last two weeks alonehave been purged from social mediabecause you're speaking wrong thinkyou're speaking truths that we know areself-evident but are no longeracceptable to the critical theorists andthe social justice Warriors and that iswhy famous speakers have beingdeplatformed from colleges if you are aconservative speaker or a preacher youtry and speak at University College BookUniversity of California Berkeleythey'll be rioting on the streets theywill deplatform you because your merepresence on campus is a microaggressionbecause you walking across that collegecampus is a standing rebuke to theideology of that campus and so that iswhy we are seeing um the the the the theum totalitarian clamp down on any ideasthat can be expressed in Americanuniversities in practice it requiresactively restricting speech discussionor activity that will not Foster apositive psychological experience formarginalized protected or a pressedgroup everything must be positivelyAffirmed does this affect Adventistcampuses yes it does the net effect ofinclusion means that those who speak theGospel of Jesus Christ and in particularof victory over the sins of the fleshsuch as coming out Ministries are beingdeplatformed across Adventist campuseswhy the gospel voice must be closed downfor the call to repentance is nowinterpreted as a microaggression an actof violence against protected groups andtheir personal truths their subjectivelived experiences which cannot bechallenged in any way now I recognizethat what I'm saying is not politicallycorrect but I'm speaking thetruth nothing can be allowed thatquestions the authenticity of theexperience of every individual and so onour campuses today the Gospel called torepentance and faith is slowly beingclosed down we had to have here a videofrom coming out Ministries a few yearsago now why was that why couldn't it beplayed on the Adventist campus just downtheroad ask yourself that question thebiblical worldview on our campuses isbeing overthrown it's being replaced byan atheist worldview and we are startingto churn out functionalatheists how does this work in practicewell speakers are deplatformed statuesof Jesus in the last year have been torndown across America the mobs on thestreets have been burning Bibles onlinecult mobs terrorize the non-compliantcancel culture stalks the land this issoft totalitarianism Americans are nowafraid to speak their minds a surveyafter survey shows that Americans arenow self-censoring before they putanything on socialmedia and given the fact that most of ushave gotsmartphones I don't have mine with mebut more and more Americans it seems tome are self-centering what they say athome more and more Americans areself-centering what they say in theprivacy of their ownbedrooms because what you say today willbe taken down and use in evidenceagainst youtomorrow physical mobs are batteringthose who disagree with the dominantnarrative so inclusion in summary onlymeans allowing people to think speak andact in graling subservience to the Dailyshifting and nonsensical demands ofatheist critical theod hearing diversityhires now that's quite a sentence soplease keep your thinking caps on as wego through this so how do we respond toall this as Christians well um we wewant to say that first of all we are allFallen sinners without hope other thanthrough the Saving Grace of Jesus Christthat Jesus came to save all peoples ofevery nation tribe language and peoplethat every person within every cultureis equally important and valid to Godthat all people are created in the imageof God and to deny the image of God insomebody else is is an affront to ourcreator we all need a savior the onlybasis for our Salvation is the grace ofGod received by faith without withrepentance not through any intrinsicindividual Merit so while we utterlyreject the atheist dogma of diversityand inclusion we speak in love to thosewho are trapped within this Dogmabecause it is um a mental reservationand if you go off that reservation youwill be destroyed for they are also theobject of God's love and his Redemptiveplans and so I'm going to compare nowsystematically on the screen I put thischart together I don't know the falllast year a comparison of the diversityand inclusion worldview with thebiblical worldview we're going to lookat a number of Dimensions so forinstance the question of God himself inthe diversity and inclusionworldview God does not exist and indiversity and inclusion worldviewChristianity is responsible for theoppression of marginalized groups and isan intrinsic expression of whitesupremacy now the fact that for instancethe vast majority of Christians in ourworld today are persons of color is kindof irrelevant because again we're notdealing with facts we're dealing withDogma here according in the biblicalworldview the fool say in his heart thatthere is no God and having turned theirbacks on God as the Apostle Paul saysthey become futile in their thinking andtheir senseless Minds were darkened interms of identity another markerimportant thing these days when indiversity and inclusion Or the criticaltheory worldview your identity um you'rea member of a social group you're eitheroppressor or oppressed and everybody islooking to be one of the oppressedgroups everybody's looking to be avictim that's when you get browniepoints as defined by intersectionalityand identity politics let me let me justshow you how ridiculous this is um I'm awhite heterosexual male so I am guiltyof all the evil in human history butwait a minute I'm actually a white umhomosexual male which means I'm now avictim just like that I'm notresponsible for the evils of humanhistory and now I identify as a personof color who is trans transgender that'smy identity you must accept it now I'mthe most oppressed group in humanhistory oh now it's um 10:35 now I'mback a male heterosexual white male nowI'm guilty of all the sins of humanhistory does this not strike he wasabsurd it's utterly absurd in thebiblical worldview all keep all peopleare created in the image of God withequal moral worth and that is what weare called to uphold as Christians todayin terms of sin in diversity inclusionthere is no concept of sin per se thereare no moral restraints within criticaltheory the oppressed experienceoppression and all actions against theoppressors are thereby Justifiedwhich is why when the LI the rioting andthe Looting and the murder and all therest the Mayhem in America in the lastyear is cheered on because there's noconcept of sin that the oppressed can dowhatever they want to the oppressorsthere's no consequences whereas in thebiblical worldview Genesis 1 through3and Romans 1 through3 teach that we allcreate the image of God this image hasbeen marred by the Fall there is no onewho is righteous not even one all aremorally counseled before God for theiractions regardless of your groupidentity we will stand before God oneday we will have to answer for our wordsand for our Deeds there is a finaljudgment and when you have no concept ofthe final judgment then you can dowhatever you like today because thereare no Eternalconsequences when it comes to UltimateAuthority in the critical theoryworldview crit ultimate Authority isyour personal subjective livedexperience that phrase lived experienceis what you're going to see in the yousee it in the literature today you hearit on CNN and on Fox this is part of thelanguage which our young people arelearning in collegeyour lived experience is your finaldeterminant of truth if it's true to howI feel today then it's fine but if itdisagrees with how I feel today thenthen what what you were saying must behate speech and you must be deplatformedand cancelled this is what is happeningpeople are unable to accept opposingviewpoints anymore we're unable todiscuss ideas anymore because if itcontradicts my subjective livedexperience by definition it must be hatespeech in the biblical worldview theultimate Authority is not my subjectivelived EXP experience but it is the wordof God which is absolute Eternal and itis external to any human being ratherthan deifying ourselves making ourselvesout to be Gods we actually submit to theword of God we come to the scripture asChristians not to sit in judgment on thescripture but allow the scriptures tosit in judgment upon us we humbleourselves before God and we allow theword of God to read our hearts and ourminds that we might be changed on adaily basis in terms of desired livingspace in the diversity univ andinclusion worldview uh what is reallydesired is a safe space in which anypersonal subjective lived experiencecannot be questioned removing thephysical presence of any who questionedthe validity of my lived experience sothat is why speakers have beendeplatformed Across America people havebeing cut off from social media nothingcan be allowed to question the latestcrazy idea from Biblical perspective ourdesired living space is nowhere here onEarth but it's actually on heaven wherethe saints of God will dwell drawn fromevery Nation every tribe every languageevery people from all backgrounds wherewe can live together and the tree oflife will provide fruit for the healingof the Nations only God can provide thehealing in our world today and we'll befree of disease death sorrow andsuffering uh if there a call torepentance well in the in the criticaltheory worldview a call to repentance isa microaggression must be silencedbecause nothing can be allowed tochallenge your subjective livedexperience or to disturb your safe spacewhen the when John the Baptist came inthe gospels the first word he spoke wasrepent why for the kingdom of God is athand when Jesus came in the gospels thefirst word he spoke were repent for thekingdom of God is at hand the very callto repent is now rejected as amicroaggression because if if Jesus saysto me Conrad I want you to repent whathe's saying is Conrad something is notright in your life and that's the truthsomething is not right in my life I am asinner and so the call to repentance thegospel call is now a microaggressionmust must be closed down now I'm not aprophet but it's not going to be longbefore the Bible is going to be declaredhate speech in many parts ofAmerica it's going thatway this is where we're going as anation the biblical model biblicalworldview we are to repent we are tobelieve we to be baptized and we are toreceive the Holy Spirit and so we we werecognize that we are sinners that oursafe space really is is actually uh oursafe space is actually a one-way ticketto Eternal damnation and we are calledto repent to believe believe to bebaptized have our sins of the pastwashed away and to receive the holyspirit that God might change us more andmore daily into the character of Jesusof Jes Jesus Christ himself and so thefirst call of Jesus was to repent andbelieve in the good news Mark 1:15forgiveness there is no forgiveness indiversity and inclusion instead we havecancel cultures we if you stay for thesecond service I'm going to be talkingabout the difference between hardtotalitarianism and soft totalitarianismwe have now descended to softtotalitarianism in America it'shappening right around us right aroundour faces every day it's in the news ifyou believe the news and so now we havecancel culture if you stray from theideological reservation you will becomea non-person we will destroy you notjust on social media but will destroyyou economically the banks will withdrawfrom you the credit card processors willwithdraw from you Gmail will withdrawfrom you everything will be destroyedyou'll become a nonperson you'llphysically live but nobody will have anybusiness with you you now the Book ofRevelation says Revelation 13 look atsome of the characteristics it saysRevelation 13 says that the mark of thebeast will be imposed either on the heador on the forehead I'm sorry theforehead or the hand which implies thatthe End of Time Society will bepolarized some will accept the mark ofthe beast willingly some will accept themark of the beast only by force we arenow living in a polarized world and apolarized Society it makes absolutesense and so um we see in the Rev 13that those who do not receive the markof the beast they will be killed theywill neither buy nor sell this is knownas cancel culture the ingredients ofRevelation 13 are coming into place infront of our very eyes now what they'renot targeting Christians just yet butone day it will that Target will bethose who are faithful to Jesus Christthe biblical worldview is repentance ispossible praise the lord we can be uhforgiven through confession repentanceand receiving the gift of Grace anddiversity and inclusion diversityinclusion ver lived experiences ofOppression are celebrated the oppressedhave dual Insight or that's known astandpoint epistemology by that it meansthat um because I'm a white heterosexualmale and I'm cisgender that means mygender identity aligns with my bodilyreality okay that's the terminology thatis used because I'm in that group thatmeans I'm an oppressor but if thisperson over here is a white um gay malethat means he sees the world from hisperspective and from my perspective sohe has dual Insight whereas I as anoppressor only see the world from myperspective and I cannot see it from hisperspective so that means the the lowerdown the victimhood flowchart you appearthe more insight you have that means themore truth you have that means the moreyou need to be listenedto are you following the logic on thisall right so this is what is happeningin America today whereas in the biblicalperspective the H in terms of diversitythe holy spirit gives diverse gifts towhomsoever he wishes regardless of ofwho you are regardless of the color ofyour skin regardless of whether you'remale or female young old regardless ofyour education level or your wealthlevel the holy spirit is Sovereign andgives gifts to whomsoever he wishes andthe body is not complete with all ofthose gifts thus eliminating any causefor Pride or one-upmanship or demeaningwithin the body of Christ and yourimmutable personal characteristics areim immaterial as far as God is concernedGod does not care whether you have blueeyes or brown eyes God does not carewhether you have blonde hair black hairor red hair it is not important to Godthe color of your skin or your educationlevel or how much money you have in thebank we are equally valued honoredcreated in His image and loved by JesusChrist and so biblical worldview doestalk about diversity but the diversityis not in immutable personalcharacteristics like race gender ex orsex or sexual orientation it is thegifts that the holy spirit gives to hischurch and we can be a standing rebuketo the world when we learn to love oneanother in the body of Christ and carefor one another in the body of Christand say we will transcend the barriersthat the world is putting up around usthen we learn to represent the kingdomof God in truth in this in this fallenand broken world the world is dividingus into sectional we are called to cometogether and to value and to love allpeoples within ourcongregations andunity uh well political Unity is foundwhen antithetically opposed groups thisis the diversity and inclusion worldviewsuch as LGS and T's who are actuallyfighting each other lesbians and gaysare philosophically opposed to thetransgender movement they'rephilosophically incompatible they hateeach other there's no such thing as theLGBT community there's the lgbtq CivilWar effectively they philosophically areantithetically opposed to each other butpolitical Unity is found when theseantithetically opposed groups amongthemselves join in fighting allegedoppression and ideological anti-goduniformity is ruthlessly enforced in thenation via political correctnessHollywood the mainstream media so socialmedia the corrupt National mediaactivist corporations anti-christianprofessors Council culture anti-racismtraining implicit bias testing diversityand inclusion training diversity andinclusion commissars and antifa mobs onthe streets this is what is happeningall around us we are being frog marchedinto a new world A Brave New World inwhich probably countless people aregoing to suffer in profound ways thebiblicalworldview is that Unity is doesn't comefrom human beings but but it's nurturedby the Holy Spirit and we find Unity byliving lives of sacrificial service onefor another lead a life as the ApostlePaul said worthy of the calling to whichyou have been called with all humilityand gentleness with patience bearingwith one another in love making everyeffort to maintain the unity of thespirit in the bond of Peace for there isone body and one Spirit just as you werecalled to the one hope of your callingone Lord One Faith one baptism one Godand Father of all all who is above alland through all and in all I love thatbiblical understanding of unity don'tyou that the Holy Spirit can lead usinto unity and we we can cooperate withGod in building Unity by intentionallyserving one another in love looking outfor one another caring for one anotherspeaking up for one another walking withone another encouraging with one anotherone another praying for one another andso forth and so forth that is the worldin which I want to live I'll care foryou today because I know that tomorrowwhen I need some help somebody's goingto stand by me as well and that's thekind of uh Unity that we find within theword of God it is not found withindiversity and inclusion and then finallythere we have no we got two more slideshere time is moving on Truth diversityand inclusion there are no absolutes indiversity inclusion truth is subjectivesituational andindividual that this is your truthremember Oprah Winfrey she says this betrue to your truth she doesn't say saybe be true be true to the truth she saysbe true to your truth and becauseeverybody has a different subjectivelived experience that means truth varieswith every individual a societycollapses if we can't agree on anythingyou know it's very simple society'scollapse when you can no longer agree onanything in the biblical worldview truthis absolute and it's external to TheHuman Experience scientific and moralabsolutes do exist it is a sin to lie itis a sin to murder it is a sin to commitadultery these are not situationallyjustified these are absolute moralstandards this truth is also validatedby scientific research and respectfuldialogue and Jesus Christ himself is theultimate truth I am the way the truthand the life Jesus does not say I am away I am a truth and I am a life I amthe way the truth the life which is whythe world hates Jesus so much because heoffers the exclusive way to Salvation toGod the father as opposed to theinclusive views of our world day whereall roads lead to God no we only come toour to our Heavenly Father through JesusChrist then we have the temporal goalwhat is the goal here on Earth well incritical theory or diversity andinclusion the temporal goal is atheistEquity that there are equal outcomes onall dimensions for all racial groupsthat's the goal where we're going to inAmerica right now now if you look at thecharts of American society um you knowthere's there's multiple groups there'slike the Filipino Americans theindian-americans the Korean Americansthe Taiwanese Americans the Sri LankanAmericans the Nigerian Americans allhave better socioeconomic outcomes thanwhite Americans do but we are allegedlya white supremacist Society even thoughthe whites are way down the list interms of average income but the temporalgoal of diversity and inclusion is tohave equal outcomes for every group insociety now how do you get that itrequires an all powerful governmentengineering equal social outcomes regacross all racial or protected groupsregardless of personal opportunityregardless of personal effort regardlessof personal investment regardless ofpersonalresponsibility and that's society Iwould suggest who is fundamentallyunjust why is it unjust I have a twinbrother let's say that we both studiedhard we made our way through life butlet's say that he studied hard and Ichose to become a drunk addict drugaddict why should the government thenengineer things so we both have the samestandard of living when we're 50 whenI've blown my mind and money on drugsand he's spent his whole life workinghard so the moment you say everybody hasto have equal outcomes identicaloutcomes you're creating an unjustSociety where it doesn't matter whateffort you put into life everybody getsthe same we've tried this before in theworld it was known as a Soviet Unionwhen I worked in the Soviet Union whenthe Soviet Union stopped everythingstopped okay and why did it stop becausein 1960s '70s and 80s people realizedthat when you went to work if you did agood job or you did a bad bad job you'restill going to get the same amount ofmoney guess what people did they did abad job when you bought a car a brandnew car in the Soviet Union you had tobuy a new car and you maybe buy anothercar for spare parts because the firstbrand new car wasn't fully made whybecause the workers didn't care the onlycar factories in the world where thevalue of the car was worth less than thevalue of the raw materials coming intothe start of the factory which is absurdwas the larders and the neas famous carsin the Soviet Union it was a valuereducing activity to make a car and sopeople would go to work and just sleepthrough the day because you're going toget the same outcome why work and if youinsist on a society where everybody getsthe same outcome then nobody has anyincentive to work hard and Society justcollapses we've seen it in the SovietUnion we had a 70-year experiment and itcollapsed and we're going that directionagain in our society in the biblicalworldview in terms of temporalgoal rather than looking for equitywhich is equal outcomes we're lookingfor God-fearing equality that is equalstanding and treatment before the lawLeviticus 19:15 and equal opportunityfor all based on the Year of Jubilee butthere are personal responsibility fortemporal and eternal outcomes if you donot work says the Apostle Paul then whathappens you do not eat you mustcontribute to your own welfare and yourown life and whereas the critical theoryViewpoint wants an all powerfulgovernment that Engineers everything thebiblical worldview looks for a limitedgovernment whose role is to Foster equalopportunities for personal growth andhuman flourishing and we are seeing inAmerica before our eyes the growth of anall powerful government that willdetermine which rights you do and do nothave so Eternal outcomes we're almostfinished now there are no Eternaloutcomes and diversity and inclusionbiblical wellview God wishes for all toreceive eternal life but most will belost for eternity despite the offer ofSalvation to all who believe and freedomof conscience there is none theindividual must give way to the atheistJesus rejecting god-hating socialjustice Warrior mob Rule and in thebiblical worldview we have absolutefreedom of conscience God never compelsbut he always respects the conscience ofa human being God offers us salvationwhy o Israel wil thou die turn o Israeland live I have no pleasure in the deathof anyone says God in the Old Testamentprophets he wants all to be saved but hedoes not compel us to accept the gift ofSalvation so what do we say inconclusion today well biblical teachingsin generaland on religious liberty in particularfreedom of conscience it calls us toreject entirely the underlying atheismand the application of critical theoryand Marxist ideology in our world todaywe are facing in America today uh therising of an ideology that isresponsible for more death and humansuffering than any other ideology inhistory that ideology is now seeking tosubvert and to destroy the very freedomsof conscience speech and worship that wehave grown accustomed to within theUnited Stateswe are called by God today to pray forour leaders to pray for our churchleaders to pray for our institutionalleaders to pray for Ministry leaders topray for our pastors that we will not besubverted from within by diversity andinclusion militants regardless of whothey are where they're from that we willnot be pushed into an anti-god Christianpersecuting Christ rejecting Jesushating truth rejecting Bible burningpreacher deplatforming atheist atheistideology in the way we do church or inthe way we teach our children in ourinstitutions we are called rather tolive lives of sacrificial love SelflessLove as Christ has first loved us forall Humanity regardless of who they areor where they come from or what theylook like on how they dress and how theytalk for everybody is in desperate needof the sin-bearing Savior we are to loveour neighbors as ourselves we loveothers as Christ first loved us and weseek not only the best outcome forourselves in society but for ourneighbor and we calibrate our actionsand our words accordingly such love isactive it is intentional it is forgivingit is seeking for reconciliationbuilding up of peace and works to laborfor the unity in the body of Christ somy challenge you today is rather thanswallowing whole without thinking aboutit the the the doomed teachings of adead KL Marx and his philosophphilosophy of futility I want tochallenge you today to be ambassadorsfor the living and the coming Savior forwithout him we are all doomed to Eternaldestruction yet with him we may findforgiveness for yesterday meaning fortoday and hope for tomorrow so live forJesus in the coming week amen
