Wokism: Jemar Tisby's Fundamental Change

Hi there, folks. We're doing another on-the-road, dividing line, short, whatever you want to call it. I don't know. I'm heading home. I'm literally, oh, I don't know, two hours, 15 minutes, two and a half hours from home.

Jamar Tisby's Trajectory Away from Reformed Orthodoxy

But I thought I'd throw one in here because I just finished listening to an episode of those meddling kids. Never heard it before, but Jamar Tisby is the host. And the ad on, I don't know if it's, it's Reverend Dr. Lewis, Jackie Lewis, I believe is the name.

And it was against people who are against CRT. So it was a defense of CRT. Obviously a redefinition, spin of CRT, but, you know, still way to the left. For those that are not familiar, Jamar Tisby was a graduate of Reformed Theological Seminary.

And we first started crossing swords a number of years ago. In 2010, I think it was, when I had Votie Bauchamon to talk about ethnic Gnosticism, and that probably started stuff. But there was a dust up about a young black boy that walked in front of my vehicle, his pants half around his ankles, flipping off a cop as he went by.

And I dared mention the unmentionable, and that is the utter breakdown of the family in the black community. And the results of that, which we now see every single day in black on black violence, black on white violence, especially black on Asian violence.

Now, just demonic levels of violence coming from young black men. All of this being the generational breakdown of the family. And they went after me, and this was back when RON still exists, Reformed African American Network, before that became something else.

The names keep changing over time. Anyway, at the time, as they were leveling their criticisms of whiteness and all the rest of this stuff, which again, I was just listening to. The level of black supremacy racism is astonishing.

The accusation of innocent little fragile white kids, and the only reason you stand against CRT is you don't want them to know the poison of white supremacy. As if they're all white supremacists and all the rest of this kind of absolute insanity.

But it's what this stuff is made of. And you just repeat it. It just becomes this, it's an echo chamber that's louder and louder and louder and louder until I can understand by someone that's all they ever hear.

They just can't ever believe that anyone could not hear the same echoes that they're hearing. Anyway, at the time, my thought as I was listening just now was, I said, I remember very clearly saying that I could not conceive of how Jamar Tisby was going to continue in any way, shape, or form of holding to any kind of Reformed orthodoxy whatsoever.

That the term was going to be abandoned, the theology would be abandoned in the service of this extra biblical, non-biblical stuff. And that, of course, has been happening. I mean, you see that the trajectory working for Ibram Kendi, who is clearly a black supremacist, a racist of astonishing level.

Just openly and blatantly racist. In the biblical sense of racism. That is, having enmity against a particular race without basis for doing so. False judgment. The insistence that everyone has to be put in their own little categories and that's exactly what's done with whiteness and all the rest of this kind of silliness.

And don't sit there and say, well, you just talked about the black community. Yeah, the black community in the West has serious problems. There are great, great, great black churches and black people and black families and all the rest of that kind of stuff.

But they're the very ones that get called all the bad names because they won't submit themselves to these racist categories that are demanded of us by the people of the left. And Jamar Tisby is definitely a person of the left now.

Questions About Sexual Ethics, Queerness, and Abortion

Anyways, I said that he would have to fundamentally change his perspectives. I was just listening. I don't know a lot about this woman. But you could tell very quickly by the way she spoke that she didn't bring up abortion, but I'm pretty certain I know exactly where she is on that.

But she herself repeatedly brought up homosexuality. Gay, queer. I would assume she probably includes under queer transgender issues and all the other alphabet soup of sexual depravity that flies under that particular banner.

She claims to be the minister of a church. She is the straight female minister of the queerest church in America, whatever that's supposed to be. And she multiple times connected queerness, homosexuality with race, minority status and everything else as if it's a genetic thing.

It's just the way people are. Now, I know that Jamar wasn't taught that at RTFs. He knows what historic, reformed and biblical, ethical and moral teaching is on that subject. But he did not even for a second.

And she did it multiple times and he had multiple opportunities to do this. Not only did he never challenge her, but every time she went off in this promotion of homosexuality and queerness and gayness and all the rest of this stuff, he referred to what she had just said as spiritual wisdom.

The Lord was giving us a gift. He, in every way, supported what she was saying. He never challenged her. And so my question to Jamar Tisby now is, so where are you? You know, maybe I've missed. I don't follow him.

I'm not I'm not interested, to be honest with you. I think I saw this. I saw it on Twitter this morning and downloaded it to listen to on my drive. It was woke preacher clips, I think. In any case, I think, you know, maybe he has come straight out and said, look, I just don't believe that stuff anymore.

I am now a progressive Christian or I don't know what terminology he would use. But but has he come out and said that if he hasn't, he needs to be open about it. I think that people need to be able to see because I don't remember exactly.

I think it was 2015, 2016. Is that when it was? The initial controversy we had, you know, a short little couple of paragraphs I post on Facebook and it all exploded. I think that was 2015, 2016, somewhere in that time.

It's been six, seven years. And I said, this is his trajectory. So I think we have the right to know. Is that the trajectory? Is that where he is now? Is is that, you know, because in some ways, for some people, he's still, in essence, playing on his bona fides from having once been in the evangelical church.

But if you are pro homosexual, pro gay marriage, pro transgenderism. And again, my understanding is I just saw someone else say I haven't been able to look this up. So I don't know. I can't confirm this, but that she is most definitely pro abortion, which there's a 99 .9 percent chance that's the case, given what else she said.

You can't you can't be there and continue to say, yeah, I still believe the things I once believed. And so I think it's a it's a fair question to ask of these folks. When when did you know at what point did you make the transition?

And are you very straight, very straight, very straightforward with us? Are you saying that the reformed heritage that was yours? Is that racist? Is that sexist? Is what? And then if you've really got any integrity at all, then you need to explain.

Why the fact is that the Bible condemns homosexual orientation behavior. You got to explain arsenic. You need to you need to do something better than what's out there, because what's out there is far too easily refuted.

Don't don't pull up some 1946 movie silliness, you know, do something serious, do something that a graduate of RTS should be able to do. Hopefully, I haven't forgotten everything and defend where you are.

That's that's what I think would be the appropriate thing to do. So I'm calling on Dr. Jamar Tisby. Dr. Jamar Tisby, tell us, where are you these days? Where are you coming from? You're saying these things.

You just had a woman on and you let her promote these things and you called it spiritual wisdom. You said it was a gift from God. You sent people to her Web site. You said that people need to want need to tune in to where she's coming from.

Not well, here's another perspective. And no, you didn't get no one who listened to what I just listened to would have gotten any idea whatsoever that you actually hold to a reformed and biblical sexual ethic on anything at all.

So where do you stand? I think I think it's appropriate to to find out. So there you go. Some thoughts having just listened to Jamar Tisby softball, a quote unquote woman preacher who obviously is really preaching and teaching something far, far, far removed from anything found in Scripture.

So thoughts from the road. Next trips coming up in December. Probably do some more of that then. Thanks for listening. God bless.
