You lost me on the 1959 letter. I’m tired 😴 of digging up the dead past looking for racism. If you want to better understand this propaganda and the new SJW ‘gospel’ currently being pushed, look up Dr Voddie Baucham, Sovereign Nations, By What Standard? - Founders Ministry. This rabbit hole is Cultural Marxism. Intersectionality. It’s literally infecting the Church —all denominations— and now taught at seminaries. SBC includes Social Justice in their lineup of courses now. This is intended to divide and destroy. The sin that cannot be forgiven is racism. Apparently our Savior’s death, burial, and resurrection wasn’t able to quite cover everything. America is nothing but a bunch of racist homophobic bigots. We’re the ONLY nation guilty of slavery and racism. Be wise, people ... “having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.” - 2 Timothy 3:5

Critical Race Theory

This is a fantastic podcast. Educational, thoughtful, and intriguing; this will continue to be a part of my spiritual routine.

Fine work
