[Music]uh good morning everybody it's apleasure to be with you here again onthis beautiful day here in New Zealandso I'm going to talk this this morningabout something that's affecting yourchildren whether you like it or not andit's important that we understand umwhere these things are coming from so wecan respond in a Biblical Manner and souh this is you might say this is an endtime sermon maybe it is I guess um butI'm talking about this because many ofour young people are caught up in theseideas and these ideologies and they uselanguage that we don't understand andyour young people go off to college andthey come back completely changed andnow they're using language you've neverheard of before and and you think whatwhat happened to my grandchild whathappened to my son when they went tocollege what are they being taught thereand so I want to talk about these thingstoday because um we need to be able toguide our children back to the gospelwhen they hearing these Godlessideologies that are out there and so I'mgoing to talk first uh this is ourjourney today we're going to look atMarxism behind us around us and thencome to some conclusions so um I'm goingto first talk about Marxism behind us umbecause this is what's driving a lot ofwhat is happening with our young peoplein our colleges and our Public SchoolSystems today it's what's affecting ourour national political systems Americahas just had a major shift the pendulumshifted in America 10 days ago um whenthe new president was inaugurated andother parts of the western world stillhaven't gone through that shift ourchildren are being indoctrinated incertain ideologies so we're going tostart out by looking at the foundationfor thisum this is the life of a certaingentleman called KL Marx now he was bornin 1818 in Germany in the city of Triait was one of the most Catholic citiesin Germany of the time he was ethnicallyfrom a Jewish family and his father wasuh had was a devout Jew with severalrabbis in the extended family however KLMarx's father converted to Lutheranismin about 1820 because he preferred theLutheran the concept of a living faithover the Traditions that he was beingtaught by the Catholic clerics l m Marxhimself adopted the Lutheran Faith untilhe went to college where he became acommitted atheist and during those yearsin 1837 to 1841 this gentleman herecalled KL Marx um he he he became theMarx that we know in history and he ledup to the publication of the CommunistManifesto in1848 he also built on what we callhegelian dialectic that is if thegovernment has an agenda that iscentralization of power then there's athesis that is a manufactured Terrorthreat there is an antithesis arepressive police state to clamp down onthe terror and then the thesis or thethe synthesis of this is the removal offreedoms and the central centralizationof power from the many to the few in acentralized government and Marx wrote in1844 the quote is on the screen he saidcommunism is the riddle of Historysolved as it knows itself to be thissolution so what Marx did and what AdolfHitler did and other ideologues throughhistory is they take an idea then theyreinterpret all of history so thathistory is leading inevitably to themodern repressive authoritarian Stateand KL Marx did that um Joseph Stalindid that and Adolf Hitler did that sowhen you have these ideologies um andand the idea it flows through historyand they say to their current populationthat the current repressiveauthoritarian state is the naturaloutworking of this law of humanitythat's been working itself out forthousands of years and so Marx arguedthat communism is the inevitableoutworking of the ideas of of ofsocialism and in particular what theycall dialectical materialism now my wifewas raised in the Soviet Union and shehad to have classes on what they calldamat that's dialectical materialism andthey called it diamat for short that wasa slang in the Soviet schools and theidea is that societies would evolve fromfeudalism to capitalism to socialism toCommunism so when people say today thathe is a progressive in a political termyou have to ask yourself what are weprogressing towards that's an importantquestion and a progressive is one who'smoving a society from capitalism throughsocialism to a one party state known ascommunism and so that's what Progressivepolitics means and so um the manifestothat KL Marx wrote in 1848 it was a10-point plan and these are the 10points he called first of all for theabolition of property in land theredirection of rents from privatelandlords to public purposes that is thegovernment will own all the property thesecond idea was Heavy progressive incometax that is the more you earn the higherthe marginal rate of tax and in Britainin the 1960s and70s we had an extremeversion of this where once you earnedover something like a million pounds ayear the the marginal rate of tax was100% what that means is that nobody hasany incentive to grow their incomebecause if they grow their income thestate just gets more and more of it orto put it in other terms the harder youwork then you get diminishing marginalreturns it's not worth working Beyond acertain level in society the third keypoint to The Communist Manifesto was theabolition of All rights ofinheritance that is when you dieeverything goes to thestate and that way the state Hoovers upanything that isn't already in theirtotal control the fourth point of theCommunist Manifesto was the confiscationof all the property of the immigrantsand the Rebels the immigrants were thosewho left the the communist state inorder to find Freedom overseas theirproperty was to be confiscated and therebels um they were those who rebelledagainst the Communist Party theirproperty was to be confiscated fifthlywas the centralization of all creditwith the state via National Bank that isthe government controls who gets creditand by implication who doesn't getcredit and if you have a papka papka isa Russian word it means like that's yourpersonal folder with a k B was known asa papka it's like a brown uh folder andif your papka had certain marks in ityou didn't get State housing you didn'tget access to credit your childrencouldn't go to college etc etc so youwere a Marked Man and a marked familyand so those pkas people were afraid ofgetting a mark in one of those thosefiles held by the the kabut as they usedto call it um many years ago there was aman in in a Soviet Republic and um andhe was writing poison letters about meto the KGB General and I knew I knewwhat was happening and this this man hisvillage hadn't received an allocation offood he was upset with me so he waswriting poison letters to Anonymousletters of denunciation but I figuredout where these letters were coming fromso one day I went up into the mountainswith my driver and I found this peasantin the field who' put his signature tothisletter and I said did you write thisletter he says no I said did you signthis letter yes I said well you'recoming with me he says where are wegoing I said you'll see so I put him inthe back of my car and we drove down tothe capital city to the KGB General'sofficers and this guy was just liketerrified I said we're going to go inthere and you're going to tell him thatyou're lying about no I'm not going intothe KGB officers no no no no becausethey can execute me they can imprison meand said no we're going in there so Ikind of like um walked with him in avigorous way into the building and askedto see the KGB General and I sat down infront of the KGB General this poor guyopposite me he was almost like besidehimself in Terrorand and I said to the general this isthe man who's writing poison lettersabout me and the KGB General said uh-huhI said and if you don't deal with thisthe US government is going to cease allassistance to thiscountry now did I have the authority tomake that claim absolutelynot but at that point the man oppositeme just kind of melted to theground and um the KGB General says okaywe'll take care of it and uh so therewere no more poison has came my way butthat guy received a roughing up at thehands of the police that day and um thepoint about this is that when thegovernment controls everything um thatguy was terrified that his family wouldget a black mark on his papka and thathis family would be excluded from socialhousing and from health care and fromeducation going forward uh we solve Isolved my own problem but that guy neverdid anything like that again um then thesixth thing the Communist manifest wasthe centralization of all communicationand transportation everything is tightlycontrolled uh here in New Zealand youhave one passport you have it's forinternational travel in the Soviet Unionyou have two passports you have one forinternational travel and one forinternal travel and most people neverreceived an international passport theycouldn't be trusted to go overseaswithout staying overseas but you had anin a domestic passport which meant ifyou wanted to go from Wellington toockland you needed permission from thepolice to make that journey and a stampin your passport and in many cases thebecause they have ryons the count thecountry is divided into ryons that's aregion it's like a county and withineach ryion you have a micro Rion that'slike a local local town if you wanted togo from one micro Rion to the next microRion you had to get a police stamp ofapproval it was so tightly controlledand so when Marx argued forcommunication be controlled by thegovernment and transport that's what hehad in mind the next point was theexpansion of state-owned factories thatthe government owns all the means ofproduction third was the equalobligation to work everybody has to workregardless of their ability so that thenthey can say from each according to hisability to each according to his needone of the slogans they had the ninthlywas the abolition of the distinguishbetween rural and urban communities andthe Soviets were basically um urbanurban dwellers they distrusted the thethe rural people because the ruralpeople didn't rely on the food stamps tostay alive they had chickens they hadgoats they had cows they could feedthemselves and so Stalin was afraid ofthe the Independence that ruralcommunities had and so in the 1920s hesent his Red Army into the Ukraine whichwas the Bread Basket of the Soviet Unionhe took all the food destroyed thefarming infrastructure and about 15million people died in a man-madefamine is now is now known todayTheodore the the man-made famine createdby Joseph Stalin and so um Joseph Stalindid not want country living that we'retalking about at this Camp here becausecountry living represents spiritualpolitical and economic independence fromthe power that being and then they alsobelieved in free education for allchildren by that he meant freeindoctrination in public schools and inthe Soviet Union if you are a parentyou're basically a breeding unit thegovernment owns your child when you whenyou give birth to your child thegovernment determines how your child israised they determine the education theydetermine the job they have theydetermine what branch of the militarythey serve in and where they can liveand so you are basically a breeding unitas a husband and wife but you really arenot allowed the right to become parentsfor your children and this program fromKL Marx infringes upon the TenCommandments such as the right to ownproperty is protected in the sixthcommandment Thou shalt not steal and howwas this program going to be implementedit was a program of artificial faminesmass murder ethnic cleansing andpopulation deportation how is he goingto do this well KL Marx wrote in 1849this is what he said we have nocompassion and we ask no compassion fromyou when our turn comes our turn comeswe shall not make excuses for the terrorand so KL Marx explicitly sanctionedState Terror in order to enforce the newcommunist ideology and so he wrote onlate he talked in 1849 about the danceof death and that Dance of Death thatstill exists today on planet Earth umthere you have the pictures of all theuh concentration camps scattered acrossthe Soviet Union there's just a map ofits orders and there you have the BlackSea so there's the Caspian Sea there'sBaku that's in Russian there Bakuthere's rostov on Don up here in Russianand it goes all the way across to maadanhere in Vladivostok over here and thesewere the camps scattered across theSoviet Union and this part here is inSiberia and this is where some of thethe trun free Adventists were sent wherethey died in the hard labor camps umduring the time of the Soviet Union andso um so so began the dance of death umthe Communists um forced millions ofpeople into labor dgg digging ditchesdigging trenches digging canals thatsome of them some of them function someof them did not here you have theKilling Fields of Cambodia with Paul pothere you have the pesty prison inRomania where um where the the torturewas so brutal that eventually theCommunist Party imprisoned their own intheir own torturers they were horrifiedat how brutal and Savage their owntorturers had become then you have inthe Cent of Moscow just off Red Squareyou have the lubianka that was theheadquarters of the nkvd that thenbecame the K the KGB or the Kaba as theRussians still call it to this day thenyou have Fidel and Shay gara's lacabanaexecution house in Havana you have inNorth Korea you have Camp 22 which is aconcentration camp up in Northern NorthKorea and we have communist China'songoing mass incarceration of prisonersof conscience Christians Wagers andother minorities in their country todayand so there you have the um the culturerevolution in China um where Mount SETong wanted to do away with all the oldways of thinking and the old habits andthe old values and everybody had toadopt the ideas and the idology and theprinciples in a little red book calledMa's red book and everybody carried acopy of Ma's red book it was like alittle New Testament and it containedall his writings his key key ideas itwas Mount sat Tung that coined thephrase politically correct thinking andwrong think both of those come fromMount seong himself and if you wanted tolive you adopted politically correctthinking during the Chinese Communist reuh cultural revolution from 1969 to 79approximately um almost 60 millionpeopledied the numbers are vast it's it'sincomprehensible how many people died inthe implementation of marxist ideologyand so if you read the little black bookof Communism that was published in 1999you'll discover that approximately 100to 160 million people died from KLMarx's ideology from 1917 to1991 that doesn't include the tens ofmillions around the world who weredisplaced bereaved tortured starveddeported forcely relocated exiled andmuch worse it is perhaps the mostdestructive ideology in the last 120years there you have the picture of theBolshevik Revolution and there you havewhat the workers in in in um StPetersburg are calling for uh Democratchiches Republica that's Russian therethey're calling for a DemocraticRepublic as opposed to the zist monarchywhat they actually got was thedictatorship of the masses or thedictatorship of the proletariat by Leninand then by Stalin Lenin himself was nolover of God when he first came to powerhe he he he all the priests who havebeen imprisoned by the Zar in in Siberialenon let them all go free he saidbecause you were victims of the zar nowyou're going to live in communism andyou're going to be grateful to us andyou're going to support the Communistparty and many of the priests they werekind of progressive priests they thoughtthat the slogans of equity for all andfreedom and liberty which are stillheard today on college campuses theythought these were nice sounding slogansand they supported lenon at first uh andshortly afterwards many were simplyexecuted because they realized that whatLenin was doing was not consistent withscripture and so Lenin as a devoteddisciple of Marx um set a militantlyanti-god ethos across the Soviet Unionreligion was not just was not onlydisallowed in the public sphere it hadto be rooted out of the personal aspectsof life as well the worship of gone Godwas according to Lenin similar tonecrofilia in 1920 at the third allRussian Congress of the Russian youngcommunist League this is what he said wedo not believe in God we reject anymorality based on extrahuman andextraclassConcepts and so it's it's militantlyatheist and it's a rejection of God andhe goes on to say in 1932 at the leagueof the militant Godless can you imagineit the league of the mil militantGodless and uh he launched a 5-year planof Atheism in1932 uh this was Stalin actually rightsaid this and there was the followinggoal that not a single House of Prayershall remain in the territory of theUSSR and the Very concept of God must bebanished from the Soviet Unionas a survival of the Middle Ages and andan instrument of the oppression of theworking masses end quote and so uh underLenin then under Stalin there was aprogram of eradication of the Christianfaith across the Soviet Union and theythey had no tolerance for individualliberty of conscience religious freedomsor the right to believe in God KL Marxhimself praised Muslim Arabs for theirhatred against Christians and his loveof militant Islam provides a philosophopical basis for the alliance ofconvenience we say today see todaybetween islamists and Marxist socialjustice Warriors both marxists andislamists share a common hatred of JesusChrist and that is why there is an analliance of convenience between theradical left and radical Islam in ourworld today so why did Marx hateChristians in particular when we take alook at his ownlife Marx was hardly a paragon of virtuehe refused to work for an income or toprovide for his growing family hepreferred instead to plead and Bully hisaging and Wealthy parents for money on aregular basis he rarely if ever washedand thus his body stank he was plaguedby boils across his body he drankheavily he raged at his wife repeatedlyhe had a son through the forceableimpregnation of their impoverishedfamily maid who he forced to work for nowages and basically slavery and hedespised family life this is the hero ofmodern day Campa studentshis personal correspondence is filledwith anti-Semitism and overt racism hewrote of the Jews quotes that theemancipation of the Jews in the finalanalysis is the emancipation of mankindfrom Judaism that was a sentiment laterespoused by Adolf Hitler um hisson-in-law from Cuba who lookedAfrican-American Marx denigrated hecalled The Negro blood in his veins andreferred to him as the family's gorillahis other writings regular use racialepithets um referring to his familymembers Beyond his philosophical atheismthough his intense hatred of God wasnoted by his contemporaries his fathersaid this of KL Marx said he's governedby a demon his son called him my deardevil angles uh fellow um Marxistleninist um revolutionary in the early1850s referred to K Marx as a monster ofa 10,000 devils and his wife called himmerely a wicked Nave he was filled witha manic rage at life in general andagainst God in particular and if youlook in his poetry you find Clues to thehis fascination with violence hisfascination with Satan you find suicidepacks and agreements with Satan and youfind a hatred of God he wrote somethingcalled the player this is about thedestruction of self and in this in thisum poem here he portrays himself as aviolinist who summons up the powers ofDarkness through frenzied playing on hisviolin and the text goes till I go madand my heart is utterly changed see thesword the Prince of Darkness sold it tome for he beats the time and gives thesigns ever more boldly I play the danceof death and so In this passage here amusician summons up Satan a lover offerspoison to the Beloved and both run totheir deaths in a satanic rejection ofthis World Mark the protagonist in thispoem like Satan is the ultimate rebelagainst God and against heaven then youhave anem anem is an is an an anagramfor emanuelo or Emanuel that means godand so by scrambling it all up he'stalking about the destruction of God inthe very name of this particular poemit's an anagram for God In this passagehere Marx turns from theself-destruction in the player to thedestruction of mankind by we areabandoned by a cold God and the truehero of this particular poetry is theViper so voluptuously warn in the paleMaiden Marx writes autobiographically hesays thus Heaven I forfeited I Know Itfull well my soul wants true to God ischosen for hell elsewhere he wrote thatI wish to avenge myself against the onewho rules above and so when you look atKL Marx's poetry it wasn't that hedidn't believe in God angels or demonsthere was an intense fascination withSatan there was an intense hatred of Godand he expresses this very very clearlyover and over and over in his poetry sohe wasn't so much an atheist he wasactually a Satanist and with that camean intense hatred of Jesus Christ and ofthe followers of Jesus Christ solitoncaptured the essence of KL Marx in whenhe said within the philosophical systemof Marx and lenon hatred of God is theprincipal driving force that the hatredof God and when you listen to the thetestimonies of people who survived saycha chesus Romania um they will talkabout the hatred of Christians that wasthat was so intense and the Communisttorturers would would just regularlytorture everybody else but if they knewyou were a Christian they had a specialnastiness reserved for you they hatedthe Christians with a real passionRichard vonbrand who established voiceof the mar Martyrs he was tortured incommunist Romania for many years at onepoint he was left in an underground boxwith no light or fellow humancompanionship for over 3 years he sawnothing for three years just anunderground box his wife was imprisonedin another prison at the same time butshe didn't go through the same torturehe concluded in his book Marx and Satanthe Marx was not merely an atheist buthe plunged into the depths of Satanismthe Marx not only rejected God but thathe was true to Lucifer so this then wasKL Marx he wasn't so much aphilosophical atheist but he was a loverof Satan and a hater ofGod and this is the guy that gives isthe ideology that's driving many of ourcollege campuses in the west that'saffecting if you have grandchildren orchildren going to college today they'reem bibing this guy's philosophy whetheryou like it or not because this has goneall over the west and so Marxism aroundus today well um Marxism combined withpostmodernism in the 1940s 50s and 60sexistential philosophers um gave us anew worldview after World War II theycalled they called it postmodernism andand postmodernism is a rejection of themodernist era the idea that Humanityinevitably will progress and that thattechnology always brings progress andknowledge is objective it is true it isuniversal and it is provable anddemonstrable those are some of theprinciples of the modernist world and umbut after World War II philosophersbecame profoundly discouraged becausethey saw that um um democracy gave usAdolf Hitler Marxism gave us JosephStalin and science gave us the the atombomb and so all of these ideas of humanprogress such as capitalism capitalismMarxism or Socialism or or democracy orscience they've actually led toincredible human suffering and so theysaid that all of our dreams of humanprogress that technology will ease thepain of The Human Condition alltechnology has really done is enabled usto kill more efficiently whether it bethe atom bomb or The Killing Fields ofof the first and second World Warbattlefields of Northern Europeand so inpostmodernism um there are two two keyprinciples one is they teach radicalskepticism about whether objectiveknowledge or truth is possiblepreferring a relative idea of Truth andcultural constructivism that is youryour concept of Truth is inextricablylinked to your culture from which youcome and if somebody comes from adifferent culture they're going to havea different understanding of what truthis they also believe that societies areorganized by the powerful into identitygroups and hierarchies only serve theinterests of the elites and which defineacceptable knowledge and this is areally important point the idea of umthe idea of identity groups andsocieties are organized into hierarchiesand those are hierarchies of Oppressionso there are four logical conclusions ofthese principles of postmodernism thefirst is that all meaningful boundariesare to be blurred why because if I saythis is acup and this thing here wants to be acupthere's a boundary around this cupthere's a definition every noun has adefinition and if you define a cup sothat's what the cup is then this can'tbe acup but if this cup um if this thingwants to be a cup because the cup ismore powerful in society than this thingthen we have to blur the definition ofcup so all of this can becup that's why we say well what is awoman great question in the west todaynobody knows what a woman is at least inthe these theoretical worlds in whichthey live because if you say that thisis a man and a man has a certain youknow chromosomal features xx's and xy'sthen by definition anything that is notbiologically male must befemale and and that creates distinctionand in those distinctions you haveoppression within Society so thereforewe have to blur all the distinctions insociety so that the oppression withinsociety that they allege is there cantheoretically cease therefore languagethe oppresses tool must be deconstructedbecause language is normally that of thepowerful in society and people use theirtheir own as you low down in society youaccept the language that is defined bythose above have you found in the last10 years that it's hard to keep up withthe languageshifts like language keeps gettingredefined like in America uh somebodyfrom from originally from Africa wouldbe called maybe a negro then they may becalled colored then they may be calledAfrican-American now they're called B poblack and Indigenous persons of color ishard to keep up with the language andand you're not trying to offend anybodybut you just don't know where thelanguage is going and because thelanguage constantly shifts by those whoare driving this ideology you're alwaysoff balance and it's it's a has adestabilizing influence on socialrelations the idea that all cultures areequal is important than the individualis replaced by group identity this isabsolutely critical because no longerare you judged by the content of yourcharacterbut you're now judged by the color ofyour skin and in America even though wecelebrate Martin Luther King Day whosaid I dream of the day when you are nolonger judged by the color of your skinbut by the content of your characterwhat cultural Marxism says is what isnow most important about you is thecolor of your skin and some groups someethnic groups are innocent and someethnic groups areguilty whether you like it or not anddepending on which ethnic group inyou're automatically an oppressor oryou're automatically theoppressed and so we have reversed firstwhat Martin Luther King say said um viaour critical Marxism cultural Theorycritical theory and cultural Marxism inWestern society and going on from thiswe realize that in in postmodernism isthe Cradle of Despair for the sexualRevolution and modern secular atheismand the point about this is that in inthe biblical worldview everything has apurpose um that the the the conjugalrelations between husband and wife havetwo purposes the procreation of childrenand the cementing of the familyrelationship of love in in thepostmodern world nothing has purposetherefore the most important part ofyour being is the sexual act itself andtherefore your sexual sexual orientationas they call it is the most importantpart of yourbeing and it becomes it becomes almostdeified it becomes God in your own worldbecause that is the the most emotionalthe most intense the most personal partof who you are but the tragedy of thisis that those who are seeking meaning onthe streets of New Zealand and the Prideparades and in New York they're seekingmeaning and and and uh and purposewithin their uh their sexual orientationwithin a philosophy that denies thepossibility of meaninganyway and so we have people sayingthese are the top 10 quarterbacks of alltime these are the top 10 Rugby scrumhalfes of all time and these are the top10 movies of all time we're creatingmeaning in our popular Society becausewe can't phys we can't emotionally copewith living in a society where nothinghas meaning so we create theseartificial lists so we find meaningwithin those lists where do I rank in inthis overall um hierarchy ofmeaninglessness so in our Western worldnothing now matters nothing has meaningnothing has purpose it means I don'tmatter and you don't matter and so whathappened um in the1960s was that um Marx's class strugglebetween the Bourgeois those the factoryowners and the proletar at the workersthat's an economic class struggle thatwas reinterpreted as as a strugglebetween oppressors and oppressed andthat oppressors and oppressed Worksalong multiple Dimensions so it's postcColonial studies that is the colonistsand the colonized it works in in infeminist studies between men and womenthat's called misogyny um it works inlgbtq studies so you have heterosexualsand everybody else that's called umhomophobia and it exists between whitesand non-whites that's called racism andso critical theoryapplies Marxist ideology andpostmodernism so you end up with whatyou call a hierarchy of Oppression andthat's currently the hierarchy ofOppression you see on the screen thereat the top you have whites isgenderheterosexual men they oppress everybodyelse so they're the most evil people insociety underneath them you have whitesas gender heterosexual women theyexperience misogyny from the guys on topso they are victims but they alsooppress everybody beneath them thenunderneath them you get whites as genderhomosexual bisexual men they experiencehomophobia from the men on top and thenyou got Whit's gender lesbian orbisexual women they also experiencehomophobia and then it goes down all theway down the list as you go down thelist here so this these people oppresseverybody here these people here theyare victims from these people but theyoppress everybody down here and if youare a young girl in school up hereyou're a white heterosexual girl you areguilty of all the oppression of thesegroups down here throughout all ofhistory that's a terrible existentialburden of guilts placed on young girlsthat's why young girls they can't becomemen they're not going to become black orbrown if they're white so they jump downto here they go transgender because thenthey're they're alleviated of the of allthe ideological guilt of oppressing allthese groups up here and so this is amajor attraction for why young girlsswitch totransgenderism so it's also calledcritical theory because um the pointabout critical theory is that um it'snot supposed to help you thinkcritically about Society um the point ofcritical the is to criticize everythingin the west problematize everything makeeverything um problematic everything isracist or homophobic or transphobic Etcin order that people lose the will todefend their society fromwithin and therefore Society justdissolves so we have debates like is isis my flag racist now if my flag isracist I'll no longer fly my flagoutside my house is my nationsystemically racist then why would Idefend it if the nation is system Alracist nobody will serve in the militaryor in thepolice and so by making theseaccusations against judeo-christiansocieties people are no long no longerfeel able socially to to defend what weare and who we are and the net result isour society slowly implode the idea isthat that we can be re we can reemergeas a Marxist superstate this is thewhole point of critical theory and socritical theories a Marxist anddeconstructionist philosophicalframework that understands all humanrelationships with the prism of powerand thus it divides the world into theoppressed and into the oppressors andthey talk about standpoint epistemologywhich is the idea that the oppressorssee the world from their perspectivelet's go back here so the these guyshere see the world from just theirperspective but these women here theysee the world from their perspective andalso from these guys perspective so theyhave dual Insight when you come down tolike here like black and brown transtransgender men they see the world fromeverybody else's perspective thereforethey have the greatest Insight thereforethey should have the dominant role indecision- making insociety that's why you have theelevation of these groups intodecision-making roles because they havethe mostinsight and that's what we've seen inAmerica and in Britain and in Canada I'mnot sure about over here New Zealand andin the last uh 10 days president Trumpassigned executive orders to get rid ofall this stuff just done away with itbut that's that's the the exception notthe norm in the west right now and socritical theory does not seek tounderstand what is it seeks aproblematize everything in the West inorder that the West would collapse andfreedom of conscience freedom of worshipfreedom of speech freedom of thought areto be eliminated so postmodernism hasevolved into various um criticaltheories postcolonial critical raceTheory disability in fat studies becausefat people are oppressed by um thinpeople um LGBT studies queer Theorycritical gender Theory this is taught insome Adventistschools if you go to um a certaincollege in America I won't give mentionthe name uh in their General classesyou're taught about feminism moderngender Theory so choose carefully whereyou send your young people look at thecurricula speak with the professorsvisit them and ask them where do theystand on these issues otherwise yourchild comes home radicalized andindoctrinated and hating you for beingan oppressorand so you need to think very carefullyabout where you send your kids becausesome of this stuff has has moved intoeven yes Adventist colleges this guyhere ibam x kendi that's not his realname he changed it because nobody he hada regular name so he he changed his nameto ibram X Kenny because it's much moremarketable and um he be he wrote a bookcalled How To Be An anti-racist um aboutthe year2020 and um for this guy anti-racismmeans supporting policies that equalizeracial disparities and outcomes acrossall ethnic groups while racism consistsof any policy or idea that leads toracial inequity you are either a racistor you're anti-racist merely not to be aracist means that you are still a racistnow in his writings which are veryinfluential if you are homophobic thatis you do not fully accept the lgbtqculture and lifestyle You Are bydefinition of racist if you'retransphobic that is If you deny transideology in any way you are still aracist for Kendry to support or believein capitalism and private capital is tobe racist he quote to love racism is toend up loving capitalism end quote andin the George Flo Riots of 2020 in theUnited States Andrews Universitydeclared itself officially to be ananti-racist institution I don't thinkthe board really understood what theywere being asked to declare but theymade the official declaration we are nowan anti-racist institution nowthankfully there's a change ofleadership there and they don't bowsthese ideologies but they haven't walkedback that statement from the publicsphere so this this even affectsAdventistinstitutions and so the decisive battleagainst Christianity according to theFrench surrealists it can only be foughtat the level of the sexual Revolutionthe sexual Revolution goes deeper thanquestions of econom Economics orpolitics it goes to the heart of what itmeans to be a human being to our veryidentity and just as Marx call forworkers to join the struggle against theoppression of the Bourgeois so now thecultural Marxist sexual reev Revolutioncalls us to rebel and reject any sexualoppression on the part of theiroppressors the oppressors are now thosewho uphold biblical morality so thesexual Revolution argues any restrainton sexual expression is inherentlyrepressive and psychologically harmfulso all moral restraint is to be rejectedthat's the ideology that's taught in ourPublic Schools across thewest and when you send your kids off tokindergarten in grades 1 2 3 and 4 inBritain that's what they're beingtaught and you know the group thatstands up against this it's not theChristians it's theMuslims we saw in Britain just uh two orthree years ago the government rolledout this new curriculum forkindergarteners and grades 1 2 3 andfour the Christians didn't raise a voiceof protest the Muslims came out by thethousands in the city of Birmingham andthey they they demonstrated and theymade their voices heard and eventuallythe government withdrew the the the umcurriculum temporarily to allow time formore consultation which was a polite wayof saying when the Muslims come faceToof face with the sexualrevolutionaries the Muslims are going towin and as a Christian I was horrifiedthat the Christians didn't raise a voiceof protest they wouldn't March theywouldn't protest they wouldn't Lobbytheir members of parliament we left itto the Muslims to stand up for what weconsider biblical morality because so somany Christians that have lost the moralcourage to stand up for what theybelievein so in parts of Britain uh the Muslimshave actually been holding back thesexual revolution in the classroom notthe Christians transgender ideology isthe ultimate Rebellion against God'screated order it is the most oppressedgroup in critical theory overwhelminglynow it's white middle middle classteenage girls who ret turning totransgenderism because of four factorsnumber one female young teenage girlscan't compete with the airbrushed imagesof the female body that permeate oursociety they can't compete nobody careswhat boys look like they can smell ofbody odor they can have long greasy hairtheir clothes don't match nobody carescuz they'reboys but if you're a girl you'recompeting against Cosmo magazine andthey can't do that so it's easier tobecome a boy then nobody cares what youlook like the second Factor drivinggirls into this is that and nobody putsBoys in their bodies under such pressurenobody rates bodies of boys like one outof 10 but teenage girls are rated allthe time and they hate it they'reobjectified in our Western Society tobecome a boy allows a girl to escape allthis social pressure and social mediasprovide the social accelerant for girlsdoing this if you have a young lady inyour house guard very carefully whatthey watch on the internet there arealmost thousands of Trans influencers onthe internet encouraging girls to makethis journey and they've gone throughmany stages themselves and there aremany clothing Styles sold in mainstreamstores on the High Street that areencouraging girls to go down this pathguard your girls carefully get themthrough to adulthood without goingthrough this nonsense and then byidentifying as transgender white middleclass girls are lower on the victimhoodpyramid than straight people or LGB onblacks hence they can no longer beaccused of racism so there is anideological driver for this there's areally good book on this that was put upon Amazon it was taken down afteragainst pressure I don't know whetherit's back on Amazon but it's calledirreversible damage by Abigail shria andi' would encourage you to read that bookwhat's interesting to me is that youdon't see many Christian voices raisedin protest at this destruction of thecreation order it's secular writers andMuslims who are pushing back on thisstuff but not so much ProtestantChristians it's like we've lost theconfidence to stand up for what webelievein and if we don't stand up for what webelieve in we will lose our daughterand our grandchildren our granddaughtersin particular boys aren't so muchsusceptible to this but you know a girlhas gone down this path if she has aseptum ring she has dyed blue hair shehas tattoos all over her body and shespits hate when whenever she speaksthese things we saw in the meltdownsafter president Trump's election thosearen't caricatures those are real peopleliving likethat that was Somebody's Daughter beforethe IDE the ideology got into their headthroughout the ages Satan has alwaysattacked the Church of Christ there'salways been a faithful Remnant in everygeneration and we need to ask ourselveshow do we respond to this stuff that ishappening around us well um there is onepossible response we may have and thatisflight Matthew 5:15 Jesus says this noone after lighting a lamp puts it underthe bushel light but on the lampstandand it gives light to all in the housein the same way let your light shinebefore others so that they may see yourgood works and give glory to your fatherin Heaven but the point about this ismany Christians they have they arehiding the lamp they don't want theworld to know what we believe we'reembarrassed to preach and say in publicwhat we believe we're afraid to saythings on social media for fear thatwe're going to be canceled or lose ourjobs particularly if you work in thepublicsector and so many Christians areactually hiding their lamp under abushel sometimes Christians move away toflee persecution the basic motivationthough is fear hoping that evil did notnotice that the kingdom of God is waspresent it's essentially hiding our lampunder a bushel it's it's a response youcould make to this kind of stuff butit's not necessarily the best responsethe second possible response is to fightresistance Jesus spoke of resistanceagainst attacks on the body of Christ inhis trial before Pilate he says mykingdom is not from this world if mykingdom were from this world myfollowers would be fighting to keep mefrom being handed over to the Jews butas it is my kingdom is not from here soresistance means taking a posture ofactive opposition to the authorities butin active resistance we we run the riskof destroying the message of the gospeland why is that true because whenChristians view Communists as theirenemy their goal becomes to destroytheir enemy rather than to love theirenemy forgive their enemy and win theminto the body ofChrist there was in the 1990s ' 80s 90sin the fighting on the myamar borderbetween miamar and Thailand uh therethere are tribal groups there Karen andMong and others and one of the mostfamous generals out there was the 7thDay Adventist and he fought for yearsagainst the myamar regime with with hismilitia and they did everything thathappens in war and they were s theAdventists and uh you know that's ahidden part of adven thisis we don'tlike to talk about because um how canyou win those how can you win the peopleinto the body of Christ when you'retrying to shoot them dead at the sametime can raises a kind of a practicalconundrum doesn't it and so fighting isproblematic when you physically engagein fighting um because you you hate yourenemy rather than love yourenemy uh another response that ispossible is accommodation this is whatis happening all across the West withadventism and Protestants in generalJesus said this he speaks to thePharisees who are accusing him ofcasting out demons by the power ofBeelzebub Jesus it says he knew whatthey were thinking and said to themevery King om divided against itself islaid waste and no City or house dividedagainst itself willstand there is the Temptation around usto accommodate to compromise to allowculture rather than scripture to Definemorality and to Define what the body ofChrist stands for this is exactly whatmany wesan Christians are doing today byopening their Bibles and discoveringthat homosexuality lesbianismtransgenderism queer ideology alcoholand evolution have actually been hidingin plain sight for the last two th000years but are the real teachings ofscripture accommodation destroys thechurch by compromising its witness andmaking the gospel subservient to today'sFallen ideologies a positive response isthe Theology of the cross mark 8:34Jesus says this he called The Crowd withhis F disciples and said to them if anywant to become my followers let themdeny themselves and take up their crossand follow me for those who want to savetheir life will lose it and those wholose their life for my sake and for thesake of the Gospel we'll save it it'sour willingness to accept loss thatgives our witness credibility when weFacepersecution if we're not willing to faceloss for what we believe we won't standforanything it's precisely because we valueour bank accounts our careers ourprofessional licenses and our socialstanding more than gospel truth thatChristianity by and large hascompromised on these ideologies that aresweeping the Westand so Jesus talks about the Theology ofthe Cross this means living according tothe teachings of Jesus no matter thecost in our society we live theChristian Life in response to the callof Jesus not as an act of opposition toGodless governments as we know fromsalvation history it's the willingnessof faithful Christians to love theirenemies in the midst of persecution thatactually advances the cause ofChrist e Foy wrote a book um voice ofthe martys in 2017and they discussed what happened inNorth Korea with the martyrs up thereand there's some excellent books onAmazon by Foley on voice of the martyrsrelating to persecution and FY came tothis conclusion he says always it is thechurch's willingness to Suffer Withoutretaliation while continuing to love itsenemies as it lives out the fullness ofthe Christian Life that advances thecause of Christ it is not flight it isnot fight it is not accommodation but itis being faithful disciples of Jesuschoosing to love our enemies despitewhat they may say to us and beingwilling to accept loss if so if so ifit's necessary for the cause ofChrist and if we are not willing toaccept loss for the cause of Christ thenwe have been bought and sold and we willfall for every ideology that comes ourway so like God's faithful children inthe time ofElijah when Faithful prophets hiddencaves or the apost stolic era when theapostles moved from City to City to stayahead of persecution or like the braveevangelist in Ma's communist China whomoved from Village to Village to stayahead of the Communist secret police orlike the faithful Russian Adventists whoendured much suffering under the sameidiology that now impacts every Collegein the west we need to soly considerwhere we stand as individuals and asfamilies and as localcongregations Christ is being rejectedthrough this ideological takeover of theWestit's affecting every college campus inthe west it's affecting our media it'saffecting government policy it'saffecting the um social media you can'tavoid it you get up in the morning andwithin a few minutes you you're you'rereceiving some aspect of this ideologythat's been that's spreading all acrossourWest and before Jesus returns a 7lyAdventists we need to reckon with thefact that whereas today we we are areChurch structure we we Bank we sendwhite money around the world we get weget access to visas around the world weinvest in retirement funds all aroundthe world we have savings accountsaround the world we are currently joinedat the hip with the financial systems oftheworld and if we were not be in thefinancial systems of the world theentire Adventist world as a structurewould grind to Halt within 30 daysbecause we rely on those iny transfersevery month to keep the systemgoing but before Jesus comes all thiswill be be gone either fatallycompromised from within due to theaccommodation of our leaders andinstitutions or when the mark of thebeast is imposed and we're closed downbecause we won't accept the mark of thebeast so what is the way forward for uswell today we worship together in ourlocal congregations as members of ourlocal conferences we work together wewitness together we use all the toolsthat are disposable while we can as avisible legal denomination and with thefreedom to preach and openly live thegospel but we also recognize the factthat there is going to come a time toNew Zealand when in order to preach thegospel and to live the gospel openly itwill not be done in a legalenvironment there is only one reason tohave an underground church and it's notbecause ofpersecution you have an undergroundchurch because you want to teach andlive the gospel faithfully and fully andwhen you can no longer teach the gospelfaithfully and fully because ofcompromise or because of legalrestrictions then it's time to acceptthe need for an underground Church we'renot quite there yet but in part someparts of the world such as Canada Imentioned this before where ourpreachers are told not to talk aboutlgbtq issues for fear of hate speechcrimes uh um um litigation against thechurch in my opinion it's time to gounderground because we can no longerpreach about the very issue where Satanis attacking of church if this is thechurch hereand Satan is attacking here the preachershould not be told to preach over hereif Satan is attacking here this is wherethe Watchman on the wall need to bepreaching but our preachers are beingtold not to preach on these topicsbecause litigation would endanger thelegal infrastructure and the assets thatwe have that's called accommodation andit's a fatal accommodation and the pricethat we are paying will be the loss ofthe Next Generation who no longer knowthe difference between right or wrongand would accept the latestideologies that God will grant us thegrace to accept whatever he allows tocome our way and the strength to endureuntil the veryendumthese these ideologies are outthere they are they hate Jesus Christand they hateChristians and sooner or later it'sgoing to come knocking on your door inyour family or in your church or in yourconference it's incumbent upon us nowwhile we have the time and the freedomto do so that we ground ourselves inscripture we understand the times inwhich we live we prepare a Biblicalresponse to what is happening around usbecause the next lamb that's going to bestolen by that roaring line maybe ourown daughter orgranddaughter so don't just live forenjoyment keep your guardup understand the times in which we livebe intentional about teaching your diffyour children what is moral and what isnot moral from the word ofGod and in so doing you are helphopefully by the grace of God going toinoculate them or you might sayvaccinate them against this virus thatcomes from Satanism that's is takingaway a whole generation in thewest so defend your families defend yourchildren defend your daughters youdefending them not just for this worldbut so that they can enterParadise um they don't have to havemutilated or broken bodies and but theycan have the promise of Salvation likeus as well if you love your childrenfight forthem understand theseideologies understand how to respond toit talk about it openly with your youngpeople and let them know that the waysof God are far better than the brokenways of this world and until we meetagain be faithful unto the Lord befaithful to his teachings and hisCommandments and and ask each day forthe infilling of the Holy Spirit and ifwe don't meet again we'll see you inheaven above so may God bless you mayGod keep you amen[Music]
