Social Justice Unredacted - Pre Game Thoughts

Well, tomorrow is the day we're gonna do social justice unredacted.

I hope that you are looking forward to it I sure am and we're gonna talk about a few things but I wanted to sort of

set the table a little bit today just to give you a little bit of context for the Conversation and actually tomorrow

I'm gonna drop the I did an interview with the whistleblower So to speak who actually sent me

the screenshots that we're gonna talk about on On social justice and redacted so we'll see that tomorrow.

But a couple of quick things here so there's a good chance that some of you are doing sort of the

the same page summer thing that that The brothers up in Moscow, Idaho

put on so basically it's like a summer Bible reading plan.

So everyone's kind of on the same page pretty clever.

Anyway, probably some of you are doing that So yesterday we were doing the first the second

four chapters in In the book of John and one of the things that that

I found interesting is the Pharisees are confronting Jesus for breaking the Sabbath they think he's broken

the Sabbath because he healed somebody on the Sabbath and You know Jesus, you know argues with them

for a minute.

And one of the things that he says is don't judge by appearances.

Judge with right judgment.

I might be misquoting that, you know slightly, but that's essentially what he says Don't judge on appearances, but judge with right

judgment because the reality is that According to their bogus Sabbath laws.

It might have appeared that he was breaking the Sabbath.

But he actually wasn't because if you look at the law of God There was nothing in the law of God that says you could not

heal a person on the Sabbath.

The Pharisees had made up this whole system that made it seem like you were keeping the Sabbath but really

it had nothing to do with the Sabbath and so that is something that Is happening all

the time in the social justice debate.

There are things that people are saying and doing that make it appear righteous, but if you actually look at the

scriptures and you look at the law of God and you Apply the moral law and you apply the general equity of the civil

law You can see that it only appears righteous, but it's not actually righteous.

We need to use correct judgment.

We have to actually talk about these things and so that's that's one of the things that we're gonna we're probably gonna discuss

tomorrow because There are gonna be things that appear like they're righteous, but they're really not two points before

We we get into tomorrow's Event.

The first thing is the definition of racism.

So we're gonna talk about Racism obviously because that's what that's what this whole thing tends to be about

and most people they would say Well, what is the sin of racism because we don't have a scripture that says you shall not be racist,

right?

We don't have a scripture like that and a lot of people have offered a lot of different definitions of racism.

But really what it boils down to is the sin of partiality the Old Testament and the New

Testament Again, and again and again say do not show partiality.

God doesn't show partiality.

Therefore.

You should not show partiality and racism is essentially treating someone differently treating someone with

Partiality based on their skin color.

That's what that's what essentially it is.

It's a problem because It essentially denies the full Status of

someone having the image of God because if you're saying well, yeah, you have the image of God.

But I'm gonna treat you differently than these other image bearers because of your skin color.

Well, that's a problem.

That's a real issue.

So the problem with racism is Prejudice, it's partiality.

It's treating someone differently based on some kind of a factor like their skin color like,

you know, their their ethnicity like that whether they're rich or poor things like that and Again, and again and again, the Bible says

don't show partiality to the rich don't show partiality the poor we could we could interpret that I'm sorry, we could apply that

don't sharp show partiality to whites.

Don't show partiality to blacks.

So anyway, so that's what that's what I think most people who look at the Bible say that's the

primary sin of racism, but That's not what the social justice movement defines racism as

here's a here's a tweet from Jamar Tisby.

He's asking can black people be racist and he says well It depends on how you define racism, of course Jamar over here wants to

define it in such a way that black people can't be racist.

I Don't know why he wants to do that.

But this is this is the thing.

So here's how he defines it racism equals prejudice plus power.

Now you could dispute that because the reality is that the problem with racism is the prejudice.

It's not the power because power isn't a sin having power isn't a sin.

God gives power to people.

God decides who you were born to.

God decides who your parents are.

God decides what ethnicity you are what time period you were born and God decides all these things.

And so if you have power and you're a Christian, that's not a problem.

There's no problem with having power as a Christian.

There's no problem with desiring power as a Christian as long as you desire in a God honoring kind of way.

So in that definition the problem is the prejudice.

It's the partiality.

It has nothing to do with the power.

You can be you can be partial whether you have a little bit of power or a lot a bit of power.

It doesn't really matter.

So some people will dispute that that That definition, but I don't actually see a need to.

I don't see a need to because even though I think that definition is wrong.

It's it's very useful to use this definition number one because the definition itself shows partiality,

which is interesting so the definition itself is sinful, but also we can use this

definition and Still demonstrate that people on Jamar Tisby side are

racist and we're gonna do that tomorrow because power is a Relative term because there are people that have a

lot of power and we can look at that.

But then there are people that have a little bit of power and a little bit of authority and that's what we're gonna talk About tomorrow in fact we are

going to be discussing about a Facebook group that is put on and run by Jamar Tisby and his

friends and his little group and You can we can use that as an instructive example because that

is an area where they are in power.

Now it's a little bit of power.

It's just a Facebook group and you might be saying well Adam.

What's the point of exposing this?

This has nothing to do with anything it's just a Facebook group and in a lot of ways you're right a Facebook group is essentially meaningless,

but We can use this little Facebook group where they have a little bit of insignificant authority

and say, okay What are they doing when they have a little bit of power?

What are they doing when they have a little bit of authority.

Are they being faithful?

Are they following the law of God?

Are they showing partiality?

Are they breaking the law of God?

Are they sinning in the little bit of power that they have and There's a principle that we can use if they are sinning

with a little bit of power.

The chances of them sinning if they ever had a lot a bit of power is very very high.

In fact That's a biblical principle.

I talked about this on my most recent fight laugh feast podcast.

Essentially, there's a test that we can run if you can manage yourself if you can manage a little bit of authority.

Then you could be given more authority and that's a that's an appropriate thing but if you can't even manage the little bit of

power of being in authority in a Facebook group if that little tiny bit of Insignificant

pathetic power goes to your head and you're sinning instantly in that there's no way you should be given any more power.

There's no way we should listen to you when it comes to this issue.

We're gonna demonstrate that tomorrow.

We're gonna show you how this little tiny bit of authority in a Facebook group I'm a

moderator an admin of a Facebook group has gone to their head to such a degree that we can sort of

extrapolate.

What would happen if people from this social justice movement were given more authority?

What would it what would happen?

How would they act?

What would they be doing and it's not pretty put it that way.

Those are the two principles that I wanted to talk about today.

Look forward to talking with you.

It's tomorrow.

It's gonna be on YouTube live At 9 p .m. Eastern Time on my youtube channel

social justice unredacted.

Tomorrow Thursday, June 6th at 9 p .m. Eastern.

Hope this is helpful.

God bless.
