Anyway, let's jump into the video today. I have to say, you know, I have to say this, you know, just at the outset here,

00:14

I was wrong about Joe Carter. I really was. I mean, listen, I've been a little hard on the guy.

00:20

Let's just be honest. I've been trolling him pretty much nonstop for the last, I don't know, week and a half, let's say.

00:26

I've been trolling him nonstop and, you know, I think I might have jumped the gun. You know, sometimes when you jump the gun, you have to admit it.

00:35

You know, it happens to all of us. You know, we see something online that we agree with or we disagree with and we jump all over it before we even know what's going on.

00:45

Like we don't really have all the facts and people are saying that that's the case with this Southern seminary thing with the

00:51

Dominic Dominguez, not Dominguez, Hernandez, Hernandez. Yeah, I should remember that.

00:57

That's my, that's, I've got people in my family with the last name Hernandez. But yeah,

01:03

I was wrong about Joe Carter. I have to go ahead and apologize because he wrote a brilliant piece, an absolutely brilliant piece.

01:10

And I'll go into the rest of it later because this is, it's definitely worth a full treatment if you know what I mean.

01:16

But I wanted to bring to you the last kind of section, you know, how blog posts, you know, they got the bold, you know, kind of section headers and then underneath them a few paragraphs about the section.

01:26

And I thought this was absolutely brilliant. Joe Carter, bravo, bravo. And also

01:32

Joe, you know, it took a lot of guts to do what you did because, because at the end of the day, I realize,

01:37

I know you're standing against a lot of people in your organizations like, you know, the

01:43

ERLC where you're a communication specialist, the Gospel Coalition where you're an editor, and probably even your own church.

01:50

I have to applaud courage when I see courage, you know, that's, that's the reality of the situation.

01:56

I have to applaud the stance that you've taken here because it couldn't have been easy to write these words, especially knowing the forces that you're going up against.

02:05

I mean, especially on the heels of the Ahmaud Arbery situation. I mean, you know, I saw so many people that they saw what happened, or even if they didn't see what happened,

02:16

I even saw some people say that they refused to watch the video. But they were willing to go out there and just slander two men that they know nothing about and say, man, like, you know, what a bunch of racists, white supremacists,

02:34

KKK. And it was based on really nothing except the ethnicities of the players involved.

02:41

And it was just like a drumbeat. You could hear it. It was like a, it was like a wave. It was hard to stop the wave.

02:47

Even Kastihin was saying nobody should be killed for being black. And it's like, well, yeah,

02:52

I mean, that's one of those truisms that I was talking about last night. It's one of those things that you can't deny it, but what does it have to do with anything, you know?

03:00

But Joe Carter, I apologize for calling you a potential CIA asset. I was wrong about you.

03:06

Honestly, I was wrong. I'm sorry. Let me just read this last section of your article on Gospel Coalition.

03:14

And I just got to say at the outset, this is perfect. I could not have said it better myself. I'm starting to understand why people hold you in such high esteem.

03:23

Here's what Joe says. He says, Christians should care about critical race theory because it's a satanic movement infiltrating our churches.

03:32

Although the movement is still fringe, it is likely that someone in your church or social media circles has either already bought into the conspiracy or thinks it's plausible and worth exploring.

03:43

We should care because many believers will or are being swayed by demonic influences of this movement.

03:51

Man, I could not have said it better myself, Joe. That's brilliant. I mean, and listen, I'm the kind of guy that appreciates a barbed pen every now and then.

03:59

And this is a good, it strikes a good tone because it's serious and forceful and true.

04:05

But at the same time, it's not overkill with the barbed pen, that kind of thing.

04:11

Let's continue, Joe, because this is brilliant. I want you to hear this. Joe says the critical race theory movement frequently engages in slander, which

04:19

James calls demonic behavior. James 3, 15, 16. The critical race theory movement also often traffics in lies, which

04:28

Jesus says are associated with Satan. The critical race theory movement repeatedly sides with demonically inspired falsehoods that divide professed

04:38

Christians from faithful believers. And the critical race theory movement has a tendency to call evil that which is good and good that which is evil and to put darkness for light and light for darkness, as Isaiah 520 says, as a movement of Satan, the critical race theory movement is incompatible with Christianity.

05:01

Man, I could not have said it better myself. I mean, I've I've I've documented many such instances on my

05:06

YouTube channel of people calling good, evil, evil, good in the name of wokeness, in the name of critical race theory and critical theory ideas and stuff like that.

05:17

Joe Bravo. This again, this couldn't have been easy. I mean, I support you, man. If you need any help once because the wokes are going to come after you, the woke crowd is going to come after you, after you, after you write something like this.

05:28

And if you need any advice on how to deal with the woke and how to deal with the criticism coming your way, I've been there, man.

05:33

I'll help you out, Joe. I'll say I'll attach my email address to the end of this this video.

05:40

This is the last sent the last paragraph here. He says, rather than scoff because it's on the fringes, we should work to guard those who would fall for such deceptions.

05:50

Man, that's my whole YouTube channels about that, Joe, that's good stuff. He continues. And rather than disdain those who have become enamored with these lies, we should plead with them to return to the faith.

06:02

It neither it's neither too early nor too late for Christians to launch a counterattack on the demonic influence of critical race theory.

06:13

Bravo Joe. You know, and I needed that last paragraph too, because at the end of the day, sometimes it's it's it's very difficult to continue to turn this camera on and to continue to say a lot of the same stuff over and over again.

06:25

And sometimes it feels like you're not having an influence and not having an impact, because let's face it.

06:30

I don't think it's quite as fringe as you're saying here, Joe, critical race theory is all over the place. I mean, you know, you're in Gospel Coalition, you know, how many ideas and how many pastors and stuff will just slander people based on nothing but people's skin color.

06:44

I mean, remember what happened to that that that poor Catholic boy and the Indian guy that, you know, the guy who was, you know, chanting gibberish in a

06:52

Native American tongue. That kind of thing. Yeah. Like like, man, that was that was that was that was tough stuff, man.

07:00

And you can just see how demonic critical race theory is. I mean, it's all it does is divide. There is no there is no reconciliation.

07:08

That's what's so demonic about it, too. It takes language and it turns it's on its head. And that, you know, reconciliation ends up meaning really just dividing and like, remember that segregated worship thing,

07:18

Joe, at the Gospel Coalition's Women's Conference, where they said no whites allowed at this fellowship event, man, that was that's demonic stuff.

07:25

That's demons that do that kind of stuff. And they make that good. And then they make, you know, you know, you know, kind of, you know, the the insisting that race not play a part in your fellowship, like insisting that that makes that bad.

07:39

And that's that's it turns the scripture on its head. So demonic. Joe, I'm so proud of you.

07:44

I am. And listen, if you want me to send you a free notice here, you want me to send you a free notice for a

07:56

T -shirt? I gladly will. Just send me your address and I'll send you one. It's about QAnon.

08:07

He didn't write this about critical race theory about QAnon. But look how perfectly it fits. Like that's a real conspiracy theory.

08:15

Like QAnon. Who cares about QAnon? He he put all this stuff in here and he gets like some of it right and some of it wrong.

08:21

I know a little bit about QAnon, you know, and anyway, and he makes it seem like it's just based on no evidence at all, like everything that they say is based on no evidence.

08:30

And some of it is. That's definitely true. That's the thing with conspiracy theories. I think a lot of conspiracy theory, just to be perfectly honest with you, and I have no evidence for this.

08:38

This is a conspiracy theory, Joe. Ready for this, Joe? I think a lot of conspiracy theories are actually government misinformation campaigns.

08:46

I think what they do is they oftentimes when there's nuggets of truth, which you've admitted there's nuggets of truth in some of these things, things that are plausible, like like you said, like the like the elites pedophile ring, which is not just plausible.

08:59

I mean, this stuff exists and people have documented this stuff. It's not based on nothing. Anyway, I think that there are campaigns that take true stuff and then mix it with a bunch of insanity.

09:10

And so that people, regular people, reasonable people were like, yeah, that's just crazy. That's just insane.

09:15

You know what I mean? That kind of thing. I think there's a lot of that kind of stuff. A lot of misinformation campaigns that go on. In fact, the government has admitted that they've engaged in this kind of stuff before.

09:24

And in fact, they engage in this kind of stuff overseas. Well, at least that's what they'll admit all the time.

09:30

The misinformation is a very common thing. That's what I think about conspiracy theories. So when Joe just wants to make it all satanic, all you know, like that's just so overly simplistic.

09:39

But critical race theory, though, the way that that a lot of Joe's friends engage in it. Again, I saw

09:44

Kosti Hinn say nobody should be killed for being black. What he was saying was that the Georgia killing was because of race and there's no evidence for that.

09:51

It's a real like that's the definition of slander when you have no evidence of anything. It might be true.

09:57

It might not. But you're not based on anything except skin color. That's slander, bro. Like, that's like the definition of it.

10:03

This fits so perfectly for critical race theory. Anyway, I hope you found this video helpful.

10:09

But I might go into this on QAnon video article a little bit more because I think it is worth going into some of the nitty gritty of what

10:17

Joe is attempting to make seem like, you know, the worst thing since sliced bread. Anyway, I hope you found this video helpful.
