One morning I was checking my Twitter feed and I saw a kind of a strange sight.

00:06

Kyle J. Howard was retweeting the President of the United States of America.

00:13

That is not something that happens very often, so I decided to look into what the retweet was all about.

00:20

The tweet simply said this, Racism. And the tweet from Donald J. Trump said this,

00:27

LeBron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon.

00:32

He made LeBron look smart, which isn't easy to do. I like Mike. Hmm, I thought.

00:41

That doesn't seem to be very racist. Seems to me that he's calling people he disagrees with dumb, and then someone he agrees with, better.

00:52

But they're all black. I'm not really sure what's racist about that, so...

00:58

You know what? What I'll do is, I'll just make a comment about... I'll just retweet Kyle's retweet.

01:05

Hmm, I've got to think of a good one, though. How can I put this in a way that'll be funny, but also make the point

01:10

I'm trying to get across? I've got it. Preferring Michael over Don Lemon is racism.

01:19

Yeah, that's a good one. Later that day,

01:26

Kyle J. Howard responded to me. Now this was very surprising, because I was convinced that I was blocked, or muted.

01:35

But here's what Kyle J. Howard said. That's not what I said, nor the implication of my tweet.

01:41

You know that, though. Misrepresenting and committing libel against other saints has been a pattern with you as of late.

01:47

It's sad. Still love you. Praying for you. Have a blessed day. Heart symbol.

01:54

A few minutes later, he also subtweeted me on his own Twitter feed. I won't lie,

01:59

I'm still daily amazed at the lengths people will go who profess Christ to try and discredit other believers just because they disagree with him.

02:08

The slander, the hate, it truly is astounding and scary. I love these precious people.

02:21

Misrepresenting, I thought to myself. Committing libel, I thought to myself. You know,

02:28

I don't really understand any of these tweets. I'm going to need some help with this one. I thought to myself, how can

02:35

I interpret this tweet better? I know! I'll consult the guide.

02:44

Okay guide, I need some help. Can you help me interpret this

02:49

Kyle J. Howard tweet? Of course I can. Here's a list of definitions that might help you interpret.

03:01

Slander, the crime of disagreeing with someone's position. Libel, a published statement disagreeing with someone's position.

03:09

Hate, intense or passionate disagreement. Misrepresent, to represent a person correctly but to point out the problems with the position he or she holds.

03:19

Have a blessed day. Obey my virtuous command. Heart symbol, angry symbol.

03:26

Hope this helps. Goodbye. With the help of the guide to social justice warrior

03:33

Newspeak, I felt a lot better. I could understand Kyle Howard's tweets to me and it made a lot more sense and made me feel very good.

03:43

That's not what I said nor the implication of my tweets. You know that though. Representing a person correctly but pointing out the problems with the position that he has.

03:53

And a public statement disagreeing with the positions of other saints has been a pattern with you as of late.

03:58

It's sad. I still love you. Still praying for you. Obey my virtuous command.

04:06

I won't lie. I'm still daily amazed at the lengths people will go who profess Christ to try and discredit other believers just because they disagree with them.

04:14

The crime of disagreeing with someone's positions, the intense or passionate disagreement is truly astounding and scary.

04:20

I love these precious people. I'm burning for their souls. Obey my virtuous command.

04:28

Well, all right. I don't know why but I feel compelled to clarify that the previous few minutes was a joke.

04:35

I don't believe that Kyle J. Howard wants me to Obey my virtuous command.

04:41

No. I saw these tweets and it's just such a very typical example of Kyle J.

04:47

Howard's perspective. Let me just set this straight. I do believe that he cares about me or at least he thinks he cares about me and that he wants me to have a blessed day and that he's praying for me.

04:58

I believe him that he prays for me. Actually, you should know, Kyle, and I'm assuming that you watch these videos because you told me that I commit libel and I slander.

05:07

Obviously, you wouldn't say that unless you actually know what I say. Actually, I pray for you almost every morning.

05:14

I'm not even joking. I have a calendar invite in my work calendar every morning at 830 that says,

05:20

Pray for Kyle J. Howard. I mean, this is my perspective of you.

05:25

I don't think you're my enemy. I don't hate you. I don't any of those things. I know you think I do but I don't at all.

05:32

I actually really do care about your soul. However, I think your perspective is very dangerous.

05:39

I think it's unbiblical. I think it's very dangerous to the saints and that's why I am aggressively opposing it.

05:45

And here's the thing. You say that I slander you. You say this all the time to people that they slander you, that they're committing libel, and these are very serious accusations.

05:53

And I know you know that and I believe that this is a strategy to get people like me to shut up and I'm not going to because I know

06:00

I have not slandered you. I know I have not committed libel against you. I know I'm not misrepresenting you. Here's what

06:05

I am doing though. I'm opposing your ideas. I represent your ideas and I interpret them according to a biblical worldview, at least in my opinion, and I oppose them according to biblical standards.

06:18

That's what I do. I don't slander you. See, for slander, I'd have to say something untrue about you and I have been very careful not to do that.

06:25

I've never called you a cultural Marxist. I've never called you a social gospel proponent. In fact,

06:31

I've defended you against people who have called you those things. What I have done though,

06:36

Kyle, is I've called your ideas influenced by critical theory and cultural Marxism, because they are.

06:42

You might not know that they are and you might not be self -conscious about that, but the reality is when you cite these income inequalities and you say that that's an injustice, that's not coming from the scripture.

06:52

That's coming from somewhere else. That's coming from a lens of critical theory and cultural Marxism that you might not even be aware you have, but you have learned it and you're repeating these things.

07:04

An income inequality, a wealth inequality, these things are not injustices. Unless you have a critical theory, cultural

07:12

Marxist worldview. Again, I'm not saying you know this or you're self -conscious about this, but you have it.

07:19

Kyle, here's what I want to say to you. You really need to grow up. When somebody disagrees with your perspective, even if it's aggressive disagreement, which

07:27

I will admit, my disagreement with you is intense. It is aggressive. When somebody disagrees with your perspective, that's not the same thing as slander.

07:36

That's not the same thing as libel. I got to be honest with you. I don't understand why you think

07:41

I hate you. I've never said that in my videos. I've never said that you're an enemy of the church. I know some people from my perspective do say that, and I'm not one of them.

07:50

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. I don't think that you're doing this intentionally, but the things that you're saying are very dangerous to the very people you claim to help.

07:57

I know you don't think that it is, but I'm demonstrating, and that's what I do every single day in my videos.

08:03

I'm trying to demonstrate biblically why that is so. You might not agree with it, and I'm okay with that.

08:09

You might not like me, and I'm okay with that. However, let's grow up.

08:15

Enough with the slander, saying that I'm slandering you. Enough with the saying I'm committing libel against you.

08:20

This is just ridiculous. It's not libel to disagree with someone's opinions. It would be slander if I was saying something about you that was untrue.

08:28

If I said you're a cultural Marxist and you're not, well, okay. I understand why you might say that that's slander, but I haven't said that.

08:36

In fact, Kyle, if you can go through my videos or my tweets or anything and find a time when

08:42

I've called you a cultural Marxist or I've called you something that you're not, I'll PayPal you $100 right now.

08:49

I'll donate it to your biblical ethnic reconciliation ministry, your counseling ministry, your ethnic racial trauma ministry.

08:59

I'll give you $100 to your ministry if you can show me a place where I called you a cultural

09:04

Marxist. And I'm not talking about where I call your ideas cultural Marxist. That's very different. If I called you something that you're not,

09:12

I'll give you $100 to your ministry. That's my challenge to you. By the way, if anyone can find that,

09:17

I'll still give Kyle J. Howard $100, and I'll apologize for it. Okay? Anyway, hope this was helpful.

09:23

God bless. And God bless you, Kyle J. Howard. It's 842, and I haven't prayed for you yet, but I will after this video.
