Danny Akin Dares To Call a Black Man a Heretic

The Default Assumption: Charitable or Evil?

So one thing I've noticed in the last couple years since I've been on YouTube is that it's so commonly the most charitable option to assume someone is just Stupid or to assume someone is just naive or to assume someone is just oblivious.

Because the alternative is that they're intentionally doing something Evil right and and I think there's so many examples of this I could go on forever. But there were two things that made me think about it today or yesterday.

I should say actually yesterday and today. But the first one was a was a tweet from summer Jaeger. And she says it's amazing to me how many Christians believe that the government is our third parent. I do not expect a desire for you to agree with my every political thought but please please consider.

Where you get your ideas about what the government is supposed to be. I? responded to this tweet and I. Here's here's how it where it comes from for me I don't think many people have thought about the government that much and where.

How we decide what the government's supposed to be like people just haven't really thought it through because they were catechized in school. To basically assume the government is supposed to take care of us like a nanny.

Like that's that was just my default belief. And it didn't just happen like I didn't. I wasn't born with that belief that the government was my nanny. I Learned it. I was catechized in school so from the earliest age until I graduated I was basically taught that the government is a nanny now the other option of course.

So there's two options with the government right so public schools are intentionally turning us into socialists and totalitarian state worshipers or. It's either they're intentionally doing it or they're so inept at their job that they're producing this.

Without you know trying to so they're making us all robots. To this and slaves of the government making us think that government's supposed to take care of us like daddy and mommy. Either they're doing that intentionally or not and the charitable thing is just to say that they're incompetent.

And they're not doing that intentionally. That's just happening. The the non charitable thing is to just say hey. This is what the government schools are for and they're being successful at it. You hit what you aim for you know what I mean.

Danny Akin, James Cone, and the Problem of Wokeness

Here's a second thing that made me think of this this is Danny Aiken. Trying to keep his conservative bona fides in place. He says this he says James Cone was a heretic and almost certainly not a Christian based on his teachings, but to understand him you should and must read him.

Then you can provide a fair honest and balanced critique. This is a basic requirement for a good education. Hope that helps we do not legitimize him. What he's doing is he's responding to the idea that some of his professors in his school.

That he you know pays he supports. He employs are promoting James Cone, which they certainly are they certainly are Walter Strickland called James Cone's works a blessing you read them and you get so much from them and all that kind of nonsense.

And so what Danny Aiken's trying to do here is trying to say oh, no hold on hold on. Oh, of course we teach James Cone's works, but it's always from a perspective of oh, he's a heretic. He's not an orthodox believer and and so we need to understand what he says so that we can refute it.

That's what Daniel Aiken's trying to get you to believe here now. There's two choices with this because he's wrong. This is not what his professors are doing. This is what he might want to do himself, but his professors aren't doing this.

They're promoting James Cone's writings as if that there's a lot of value in them especially in the stuff regarding You know black church white church blackness whiteness all this race stuff, and so there's two choices with Danny Aiken either.

He's so oblivious. So stupid that he doesn't understand that Walter Strickland is doing this under his nose and others in his church in his seminary. So he's either so stupid or he's Intentionally trying to deceive us with this tweet.

So the charitable thing in my opinion is to say, okay, Danny Aiken's not evil. So he's just oblivious. He's just walking around Whistling Dixie at his seminary. He doesn't know what's going on. He's you know, I mean, that's the charitable thing.

So so so here's the reality. Here's my suggestion for our interaction here as Christians. We I believe Danny Aiken's a Christian, right? Believe the charitable thing believe that Danny Aiken just doesn't know what's going on.

You know, I mean believe he's oblivious. Give him the benefit of the doubt in that regard. He's just doesn't understand what's happening. Well, he doesn't he'd never heard Walter Strickland promote James Cone.

He just never he doesn't know. You don't know what you don't know. Everyone doesn't know what they don't know. Assume that. But plan and and and and and plot and and proceed forward as if he does know.

Because here's the reality even if Danny Aiken doesn't know the result is the same because this tweet Gives cover to people in his seminary that are teaching ridiculous dangerous anti-biblical anti gospel doctrines in their classes.

So regardless of whether he's doing it intentionally or not It actually doesn't matter because the result is the same this tweet is promote it is is hiding. It's ending up provides providing cover whether intentionally or unintentionally to a man Walter Strickland who is promoting dangerous things.

He thinks James Cone was a blessing to the church. Let me tell you something right now. Heretics are not a blessing on the church for their heresies. They might be a blessing for the church in the sense that their heresies get well-defined and so you say, okay.

This is what we are not. You know what? I mean this man's teachings are strange and and and and dangerous and so it's a blessing in the church in the sense that we Can we can say okay? This man is insane and the church God's Word is true God's Word is true and so in that way we can kind of contrast them and that can be a blessing of their church because sometimes these divisions and Things like it says in the Bible can be a blessing.

It's good to know who's true, right? It's good to know who's true, but his heretical teachings on race relations and blackness and whiteness. That's all part and parcel of his heresies. So his heretical teachings are not a blessing on the church.

So Walter Strickland when he calls those teachings a blessing on the church is Promoting evil doctrines. It's just that simple and Danny Aiken's tweet provides cover for that. And so I don't have listen if you want to say that Danny Aiken knows all about this fine I don't know.

I mean, maybe he does maybe he does. I'm gonna be charitable and say he's just oblivious. He's you know going from his car to his office doesn't see what's going on in his seminary. He's just collecting the check at the end of the day.

That's the nice thing to think. So he's just doing that twiddling his thumbs at his desk. Doesn't matter to me because the result is the same. So here's the thing be charitable assume that someone isn't doing it intentionally.

Isn't an evil mastermind? But it doesn't matter to how you plan and plot and how you and how you expose this stuff and how you move forward. Because it doesn't because at the end of the day the results from this tweet whether Danny Aiken knows what he's doing or not.

Is the same? Anyway, I hope this is helpful gobble. Well, all right, so a weird update to this video. I was actually planning on uploading this video yesterday. But then I saw this tweet so I needed to add this to the end of this video.

Danny Akin Walks Back His Statement About James Cone

Huh, man, it's it's honestly it's it's pretty sad. It makes me feel sad not sad in the sense that a man is Believing something wrong or stupid or something like that. It just makes me feel like I mean, it must be hard to be this way.

It must be hard to be this way. Let me let me explain what I mean. This is what Danny Aiken says today. Though his writings and statements give me pause and great concern for his soul. If when I get to heaven, I discover that James Cone is there I will humbly Gladly and joyfully greet him as my brother in Christ as we together worship King Jesus for his amazing salvation grace and love.

Very warm and fuzzy, isn't it? Very warm and fuzzy. What's happened here with it with Danny Aiken is that he's been castrated by wokeness castrated. What I mean is what happened yesterday yesterday. He said that James Cone was a heretic.

You know and and yet and we talked in them earlier in this video about why that was a problem as far as the tweet is concerned. But obviously a lot of woke brothers pushed back and said.

Are you gonna say the same thing about George Whitfield, hmm, he believe evil things about were they says slavery. Is his wage age George Whitfield a heretic.

Now now let's just set aside the stupidity of that argument, right? Basically what that argument boils down if you think that it's similar James Cone's error is similar to George Whitfield's error in in his Positions on slavery if you think that that's this of the same kind of the same category you are an idiot.

Okay, you don't understand anything. But I don't think that's what it is. I think they understand the difference but it basically the argument boils down to this is a white person. I don't like. That's basically what it boils down to and and so the woke people have castrated Danny Aiken because now Danny Aiken is in a position where he's got gone a little too far.

He's called James Cone a heretic, right? That means you're not saved. Okay, what if you're a heretic? That means that you you actually don't know Christ. You don't you don't teach the correct Christ and you don't know the correct Christ.

You have a false Christ and this is very easy to prove in James Cone case in James Cone's case like this is not really a matter of opinion. James Cone is a Heretic capital. H does not know Christ. It's just that simple any Any any any Bible teacher any pastor worth his salt will will clearly show you.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely a man who identifies blackness as synonymous with salvation doesn't understand the gospel of Jesus Christ. It's very easy. I can read the Bible. I'm not an idiot.

It's very easy to call someone like that a heretic. So so here's the reality. He went too far. He called James Cone a heretic and the woke crowd said whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You don't want to be a racist do you and Danny Aiken definitely doesn't want to be a racist and so he was forced He you know to walk this back because he does not he desperately more than anything wants to please this woke crowd.

He does not want to be labeled a racist by this woke crowd. And so what he says here is that James Cone's teaching gives him pause. But if I meet him in heaven, I'll be delighted and it's like well who wouldn't right?

Like what like if you meet anyone in heaven who wouldn't be delighted, right? Like the fact that God has saved me is amazing enough. So like I can I can I can clearly see that God can save Literally anyone and I'll be delighted to meet literally anyone in heaven because I've been forgiven of much.

How could I be mad at God for forgiving somebody else of much right? But but but we don't have to be stupid about this right like like if if I saw. Let's think of the worst person that you can think of Genghis Khan.

Right Mao Zedong, you know what? I mean? Someone like that Donald Trump. If I saw one of those guys in heaven and it turned out that at the last moment on their deathbed Christ came and he said I'm the Lord and you've done wrong and this and that and if you put your faith in me.

Then then you know and then they did that I'd be delighted to meet them in heaven. But that doesn't mean that I have to say with what I know now. That you know Genghis Khan a lot of what he said gives me pause.

My goodness a lot of people are going to town on this they're teeing off on this ridiculous tweet, you know. Oh, yeah. Yeah Joseph Smith a lot of his teachings on from Mormon the Book of Mormon gives me pause and great concern for his Soul, but I'll be happy to see him in heaven if he's there.

Like this is the lamest most milk toast that's a cute you eat milk you milk you toast. Milk toast limp wristed sad. Like there's no cojones here. There's no cojones here. This is a man who's been castrated by wokeness.

He knows for a fact that James Cone is a heretic. Given all the information he knows about James Cone He would have to say the man's not saved and he already did. That's what he believes. The man is not saved.

But he has to say this because the woke crowd has him by the cojones and He is desperate to please them. And so while he knows he can't take back what he said what he can do is walk it back a little bit.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'd be glad to see him there in heaven as if anyone would be upset to see anyone in heaven. This works on anyone you could say this same exact thing for anyone, but you don't say it for other people.

You don't say it for Genghis Khan. You don't say it for Mao Zedong. You don't say it for Stalin. You don't say it for Hitler. You don't say it for Joseph Smith you don't say it for for other, you know white heretics you say it for this one.

Because you've been castrated by wokeness. And it's a sad thing man. It must be hard to look at yourself in the mirror and know that this is what you're like. The minute you get a little pushback from someone who is implying that you're a racist you will bow down anything you say anything you say.

It's a sad existence. It's a sad existence. I certainly would like to think. I mean, obviously I'm not in the position. Nobody's offering me, you know, lots of money to be woke, but I certainly would like to think.

That no amount of money could turn me into a man like this. Where get a little pushback and instantly I'll walk back a statement that I know is obviously true. James Cone is Obviously is a heretic. James Cone was obviously not saved based on every piece of information.

I have about him. Anyway, I hope this is helpful. God bless.
