#NoDespair202
Well, yeah, I don't know maybe we're getting a little bit of Dr. Eric Mason fatigue. I don't know people aren't watching these videos as much as the the initial one. But you know, so maybe we'll stop.
You know what? I mean? I got a I got a ride that algorithm wave as much as I can. But but I know I like this. I think this is important. So I'll probably finish it. But but yeah, you know Eric Mason. He got on Twitter yesterday.
He put out a few videos defending himself. And you know, you can always tell when someone is on the ropes when they start, you know. Throwing out their credentials at you. He was like, well, I've taught I've taught exegesis and you know.
You know what? I know is that there's there's one interpretation many applications and it's like yeah, but it's all wrong. You know what? I mean? Like like yeah, you know you can you can teach something all day long.
But you could still miss and this Eric pastor Eric Mason. Dr. Eric Mason I don't know what you prefer to go by but this is a miss. This is a miss everyone can see I mean even in the comment section here.
You know, this video has about 2 ,000 views and it has 22 comments. So not a ton. Not a ton of comments. Downvoted, you know almost two to one you know what I mean people did not like this and I can understand why because Like we said yesterday all the scripture he's bringing to bear.
It's all the correct scriptures, but it actually works. Against his case, you know what I mean? And so yeah, maybe you're a good teacher of exegesis I highly doubt it given what I've seen here. But you know, maybe you are maybe this is just an Uncharacteristic miss for you, but you can still miss like, you know, somebody brought this up on Twitter you know, you can be an expert marksman and teach, you know shooting and.
Yet you can still miss the target. You know what I mean? Like that's a possibility as well so anyway, let's let's continue because I think this is the section where he starts to get into the protests and how the How the plagues were protests?
Hold on I always forget to change the the audio into my ear so that way you don't hear the echo as much. Let's uh, here we go. Let's check this out.
Bro, what education has been decimated? I'm standing in the midst of schools that have been closed in a community that has to pack kids in to one high school. So you can't tell me that there's been restitution paid that equal pay around here because there's so many things there's decimation.
Around here people trying to figure life up this trash over here. There's destruction over here. This business is destroyed.
Let me tell you how the trick works. Let me pull the veil a little bit. From the wizard spell because this is how the trick works because Eric Mason Is saying you can't tell me that restitution is paid because look at all of this destruction.
We've got bad schools. We've got garbage on the floor. We've got you know, and he's talking about basically what what is what has resulted, right? So he's saying the restitution couldn't have been paid because look at the results and This is the scam because because let's just say tomorrow a bill gets signed and restitution is paid to to black Ancestors of slaves, right?
Let's just let's just say it went down. There has been no change in culture whatsoever. The money's not gonna do it right the counseling actually won't even do it either people. He talks about counseling like as if it's the Savior counseling is not gonna save anybody.
Education by the way doesn't save anybody as well because the thing is like, you know. If a bunch of people start getting african-american studies degrees, it's not gonna do them any good. You know to me it just isn't and so what would happen if if restitution?
I'm not gonna call it restitution. That's actually rhetorical tricks. Sorry about that. Reparations were paid to blacks tomorrow is that money would be back in the hands of business owners almost overnight.
That's not gonna solve anything. You see a fool and his money is soon parted and the reality is that at this point. How many years we've been beyond this slavery situation? How many years we've been beyond this many blacks and many Latinos who have slave ancestors have figured out how to be smarter?
With their money, but many have not and so what would happen is the well-off blacks. They would be doing, you know fine. Just like they already are because this is not a racist society that we live in.
It's possible to do well and be black and be Latino. We don't live in a racist society anymore. And so those people will continue to do fine because they're already smart with their money. But the morons the people that are throwing garbage on the ground where they live the people that are pissing in their own neighborhoods listen I'm getting Worked up about this because I used to visit my grandmother in the projects right and every time I visited my grandmother in the projects you know what the the the the the odor that that I got into my nostrils when I went to into the into the Elevator to go up to her eighth floor apartment urine.
There was urine on the floor of the elevator. Nobody no white people did that you did that to yourself you see I'm saying so those idiots are gonna get their check and they're Gonna instantly go buy some drip and you know where that drip is gonna go.
It's gonna go to the hands of the business owners already. They might some of them might be white some of them might be black. But the smart people are gonna get the money right because fools are fools money doesn't fix fools.
And so all this stuff that the schools are closed down. There's garbage everywhere that money's not gonna help that situation. So so so this is the scam right this is the scam because we'll get the payment right you'll get the reparations payment and nothing Will be solved.
Because money doesn't solve these kinds of issues these are these are soul issues. They need the gospel the actual gospel not reparations of black people. You know what I mean. That's what they need and so Nothing's gonna change.
There's still gonna be piss everywhere. There's still gonna be garbage on the floor of your neighborhoods right and so then Eric Mason's gonna say this Restitution can have been paid cuz look at look just look and it just keeps going and it just keeps going you get more and more Drip and you get more and more money, and you just keep complaining because it never solves a thing.
Because the evidence that Eric Mason is using that restitution hasn't been paid is the results right is the disparities the reality is that the disparities Will continue until your mind changes. How does your mind change well got news for you?
It's not through counseling. Your mind changes not through counseling. It's not through school either. Your mind changes through the gospel of Jesus Christ. That's how your mind change repentance and faith and being taught to observe all things that Christ commands.
That's how your mind changes. That's what happens. That's how that's how we fix the brokenness that you see. Okay, and so but this is the scam so so nothing will change with the reparations. And so we need something else now.
We need something else, and this is how a covetous heart works. It's always something. It's always something. This is why this is why the Bible says you nip this one in the bud right if Someone is not willing to work.
They don't eat you nip it in the bud right there. You're gonna starve or you're gonna learn how to work that it's just that simple I don't want you to die, but I want you to work for it. So I'd rather you starve.
Then disobey Christ if you're not willing to work you will not eat. You see so like this is the scam because because I know what would happen everyone knows. What would happen if if blacks the and Latino ancestors of slaves got a check?
The people that are already smart with the money will continue to be smart with their money and They're already doing okay, because that's how it is in this country. The people that are stupid with their money are gonna continue to be stupid with their money.
They're gonna they're gonna get that drip. You're gonna get some nice J's and that's what that's how it's gonna go.
Over here there hasn't been a level of hand up. How can you remove schools and corral schools and expect there to be any economic vitality and viability? Psychological depth and Emotional healing if you take away one of the foundational pieces of a community.
Yeah, the school right the school is the foundational piece of the community. But this thing is the school is teaching pagan nonsense right the school is not teaching you. What what's what's what the school is?
Teaching you Proper morality so these schools that Eric Mason is wanting to be funded So desperately are only going to breed more and more insanity more and more chaos more and more garbage in the streets.
That's what schools do. Okay, so so no this is this is this is not the solution. This is all this stuff is spoken like a true This is secular. This is the secular plan of salvation. That's what he's be that's what's being preached here the secular planet plan of salvation counseling schooling all this kind of stuff.
Look I love schooling, but it has to be Christian schooling. I like counseling actually it has to be Christian Counseling because pagan counseling and pagan schooling will lead to more and more and more destruction.
You're seeing the fruit of it right here the garbage in the floor right here all the urine everywhere all the destruction. This is the fruit of secular salvation systems.
Seems like dr. Eric Mason wants more of that. Exodus 12 35. Exodus 12 35 it says the Israelites. This one of my favorite passages on restitution right here. I love this joint right here. It says.
Yeah, I love this joint as well because it actually again directly refutes exact what you're promoting here.
Let's let's talk about it. Israelites acted on Moses's word and asked the Egyptians For silver. So they said hey, so is it wrong to ask for reparations? I heard a preacher last week say you shouldn't be asking for nothing.
You should just stay in your state that you're in. You shouldn't do it, but but they say Moses told him y 'all go ask them for some money. Go ahead. I ain't prosperity gospel, but but but but but but I do believe but that doesn't take money out the Bible.
It's in there, but you are a prosperity gospel Eric Mason. You are a prosperity gospel and listen. There's nothing wrong with with understanding the blessings of God. They include. Economic prosperity.
Look at the book of Deuteronomy the blessings and curses. There's no. God's not ashamed of that and I'm not either. I'm not. I'm not ashamed of that as well. I asked for God to bless the work of my hands.
I asked for God for those things. There's nothing wrong with that. But the thing is like well, let's just let him finish and then we'll we'll get into this. Hey, man man, he says.
Go ask for silver and Gold items and for clothing. Hallelujah. He wanted to see this gets him all going.
This is how he because he is prosperity gospel. He gets going on this. You need you hear him. How excited does he get when he's talking about the silver and gold and the drip and all that stuff you get the bit?
He gots. He's got a ear-to-ear grin. When he's talking about this stuff this gets him going. This gets him going. He's out here preaching reparations for black people.
Good to look at that. They got clothing gear outfits. You don't know I'm saying fabrics and things right. And it says and the Lord gave The people such favor with the Egyptians that they gave them what they requested.
Now I want to give you that I want to let you I'm going to give you something this for free. Now some people don't believe Christians to protest. Do you know?
All right. Let's stop right there because you're about to talk about the most insane part of this about this sermon and probably in my opinion. But anyway, if you notice again, this is very similar to the Ezra passage where King Cyrus Decreed that every survivor, you know, in other words the people that were that were alive that were wronged.
These are the people that were wronged. They were to get gold and silver and livestock and stuff like that and it's the same thing here in Exodus. These are the people that are in captivity. They were under the yoke of Pharaoh, right?
These are the people it's not their generations later. You know many many generations down the road. No, it's that these are the people that were wronged. These are the people that were enslaved. These are the people that we had these burdens on and So Moses said go ask him for some money and then God performs a miracle by allowing the by making the Egyptians.
You know say okay. Yeah, I'll give you some money. That's a miracle by the way people don't usually give you money just because you ask. So God worked a miracle and it says that they plundered. The Egyptians now the word plundered is extremely interesting, right?
I don't think he got quite to there yet. The word plundered is extremely interesting because you know, according to Eric Mason's system here worse. This is just this is what we're owed, right? But this is the word plundered is actually kind of different.
They actually it seems like they got something that they weren't necessarily owed. But you know, this is God's prerogative God can do whatever he wants God God often commands things that If we were to do it ourselves without his command that would be wrong, right that that's just how it is.
I mean we can we can count the ways in the Old Testament the people's that God Had the Israelites conquer and destroy utterly destroy man-woman child beast. That was something that God has the prerogative to do he can execute justice and judgments on the nation's in a way Through us in a way that we can't just decide to do it, right?
That's just how it is. And so it's the same kind of thing here. This is he's using this example to say well, this is he you could ask sure this that's possible. But did God tell you Eric that you should ask for this?
Is that what God said to you? I Don't know. I mean, I don't know what your position on is on the charismatic gifts. But you know I don't think you're saying that God spoke to you Privately like the way he spoke to Moses face to face and said Eric.
What I want you to do is I want you to ask the Egyptians. Which is the Americans to plunder them and ask them for drip? I don't think that's how it is at all. But again, it doesn't even matter because Eric Mason wasn't oppressed.
You see what I mean? Eric Mason doesn't have burdens. Eric Mason wasn't a slave Eric Mason didn't go through any of this stuff, right? Eric Mason didn't do that. So he it's this is not applicable because in Exodus chapter 12 These were the people that were enslaved they were coming out of Egypt.
God was rescuing them from Egypt. These are the people they went through it. They were in it. They were the ones making bricks without straw. They were the ones getting beaten. They were the ones that that were getting taxed up the up the wazoo.
This that's what so so the thing is like this again. It doesn't apply. It doesn't apply Eric. I Don't know why you're trying to make this apply, but it simply doesn't and even if it did. Again, we have a very specific law that talks about what restitution is and what it is not.
God has his own prerogative. God can judge the Egyptians in a way that we cannot Let's uh, let's listen to this next part because this is the most I Don't know if it's not the most insane, but it's it's definitely the biggest stretch.
Let's let's hear him out.
That this reparations was prayed because God initiated Moses and the Israelites to protest Pharaoh and Egypt. How did they protest? Every the ten plagues with protests. When Moses with this and let my people go that was the sign that was the protesting sign.
And so with that in mind, that's beautiful to me that we see that this reparations here in this passage is a result. It's a direct result. Listen of protests of a vehement protest what God used to protest and God anointed the protests to break down the leadership to open their hearts to do what he called them to do because he turned the hearts of the King wherever he wants to.
Right. So so the Egyptian, you know, the plagues that you learned in in Sunday school That was a protest and and he's saying this in a context like we can't forget that. This is August 2020 right now black lives matter and Antifa and all these kind of left-wing liberal groups are out there committing violence against people random people.
Killing people hurting people, you know burning down buildings stuff like that and he's saying that well, it's a protest, right? It's just a protest and God uses protests to in fact, the plagues were protests.
That's God's wrath against Egyptians was a protest. And so this is the same thing. It's a protest and actually I'm gonna give him a little bit of credit here because I believe that the riots you see in the streets I believe that that stuff is the wrath of God being revealed, right?
I think that's God's judgment on these cities on this nation. I think that God has done this. It's it's this kind of calamity is the Lord but the thing is what Eric Mason is attempting to do here is attempting to justify it and make it a good and it's of.
This protest is a good right? But the thing is like like if you take the approach like I like I just did that that God is judging these cities God is judging these nations. Again, that doesn't make it the right thing to do.
You see God sent frogs, right? Nobody's gonna blame the frogs for doing wrong right because they're frogs. Locusts, the same thing. Hail, the same thing. Hail's an inanimate object. God sent a hailstorm, right?
Nobody's gonna get mad at the hailstones for falling from the sky. But the reality is that I believe God sent these These these violent mobs and yet these violent mobs must be put down. The people that are in these violent mobs and part of these protests need to be Held accountable for the crimes that they've done in a way that frogs are not accountable for it.
And so he's again, he's trying to draw these connections in these these these parallels of things that are not connected. In the ways that he's attempting to make it. No these these protests these riots these these these these violent mobs.
They're all wrong they're wrong and. So while I'll agree it's the judgment of God being revealed against our nation. I agree with that. That's doesn't have anything to do with the morality of these things, right?
It has nothing to do with reparations either like he's so he's he's trying to say well, yeah these protests. They should lead to reparations just like it didn't in in the Exodus when God's protests again a big stretch.
God's protests led to reparations. He's trying to make some kind of weird point. And I'm sorry Eric, you know. You probably get should get your money back for all that exegesis training if this is the result.
You ought to get your money back I mean that you've actually been defrauded you've been extorted if this is how you were taught to do exegesis and application applications the worst part the exegesis is.
We can we can we can talk about that. But the worst part is the application. This is how you were taught to interpret the Bible your hermeneutics are leading to this. Then you should get your money back.
You were defrauded. You should get your money back plus 20 because you were extorted. Anyway, let's let's stop there I guess for now. Yeah, let's let's continue a little bit more let's go let's go a little let's power through let's power right through so.
So when we talk about reparations reparations the making of amends for wrong One has done paying money or whatever means that you're supposed to in order to pull Reparations out and help people out again.
You see this is the thing.
It's like he can't help it because he's reading the right definition. Whatever wrongs one has done. And so when you find Eric the person that enslaved you Eric. Then you can ask that person for reparations and I'll be right there with you.
I'll be right there with you when you find your Enslaver the one that made you work without pay. The one that that hurt you. The one that hurt your family. The one that extorted You. Eric, I'll be right there with you.
I'll be right there. I don't like you very much. Dr. Eric Mason, but I Care about justice, right? So it doesn't matter whether I like you or not. If you were enslaved you yeah. You ought to get restitution for that.
For the money for the work that you did for the person. Definitely. But until you find that person, why don't you just keep your mouth shut?
How about that. Now what's what's interesting about verse 9. And then we're gonna get into some very very gospel centered principles of this and some practical things.
I Love this he calls something gospel centered and automatically supposed to get a little bit of a Clout behind it. There's nothing gospel centered about any of this presentation. Nothing gospel centered about this.
You look at the Great Commission teach him to observe everything I've commanded. You've not you've not described anything that Christ has commanded. This is the word of Eric Mason. This is the word of.
Well to be honest, this is the word of the conscious community. Conscious conscious conscious the conscious community. That's what this is. This isn't this isn't anything new. This is just you going with what is popular what the world is saying.
This is pagan. This is secular in almost all of its forms except the only difference is you've peppered a few Bible verses in it that are disconnected from your point and so. No, this isn't gospel centered at all.
So maybe what you're about to say is I I don't know I I have my suspicions at this point. But yeah, let's stop there we'll we'll do another video today and maybe we'll be done with this at this point.
Maybe today's the last day. I don't know but I hope you found this video helpful. God bless.
