Jemar Tisby's New Boss Lays Out His False Gospel

Sorry, the chickens just started squawking. You know, I'm going to leave the window open because I like the sounds of living on a farm and maybe you enjoy it as well. What they're doing is they're laying eggs and those are the squawks they make when they're laying eggs.

Opening Remarks and the Comment About Jamar Tisby

I'm sure it's a very painful process. In any case, before I got started today, I wanted to share with you a very insightful, very helpful, just overall, just very social justice minded comment that yours truly got on my YouTube channel.

This was regarding the congratulations video that I did for Mr. Jamar Tisby, the assistant director, the newly minted assistant director of advocacy and narrative. Or is it narrative and advocacy? I don't know.

Either way, it's a made up title. Anyway, if you have sensitive ears or if you're listening with kids, I would suggest fast forwarding about 30 seconds so that you don't hear this. Very representative of just the social justice Christian mindset in general.

This is your last warning. If you are not interested in hearing profanity, please fast forward. Paul comments thus, what a dick. Tisby left the witness for this job and I don't think you realize how large of an organization Dr. Kendi runs.

You're such an asshole. As I said, extremely helpful. Oh man, unreal. You could feel the love. You could feel the love and the justice through comments such as these. Now I'm going to show you a little clip from Jamar Tisby's new boss.

Now I don't know if he actually left the witness for this job or whatever. Frankly, I don't care how big Dr. Kendi's organization is. It's obviously preposterous to even have an organization such as this.

It's funny. I was making jokes like maybe the Department of Narrative and Advocacy is very big and it requires an assistant director and a director and a VP and various kinds of titles in the department.

I have no idea nor do I care at all. If people want to throw their money into the toilet, it doesn't harm me in any way, so I just don't really care at all. Feel free to continue to donate money to this charlatan.

But anyway, frankly, I actually am very glad that Jamar Tisby has joined Ibram Kendi X Kendi X's organization because it just makes it more and more clear that Jamar Tisby is an unbeliever. And I think that's very helpful to the Church of Jesus Christ because the more clearly we can determine who is actually a believer in Christ and who is just a fraud who's looking for money and prestige and whatever it is, I think the better because a lot of people still are fooled by Jamar Tisby.

I can't imagine why. He's not a very effective liar. He is a liar, but not a very effective one in my opinion. But I think a lot of people want to be fooled. I think a lot of people are trying to feel really, really good about themselves and all of that kind of thing.

And one way to feel really, really good about yourself is to, I guess, get the approval of men like Jamar Tisby. Anyway, I thought I'd share a video from my friend Woke Preacher Clips, and this is his new boss.

Ibram Kendi's View of Liberation Theology Versus the Gospel

This is Jamar Tisby's new boss. Now, before we get started, I just thought it'd be important for me to share my personal qualifications to address such a thing. The commenter on YouTube thinks that I'm not going to say it again because we got past the part where I told you to fast forward.

But anyway, and I absolutely disagree, and I'm very offended by this because I have a prestigious title. I am the vice president of narrative advocacy and inclusion. That's right. Not only do I have a higher title than Jamar.

I'm a full vice president. Not only that, but I actually have a control over inclusion as well. Jamar Tisby, you know, if you work hard enough, one day maybe you'll get inclusion added to your little domain.

And maybe you'll get, if you work hard enough, maybe you'll get to a vice president level like myself. Now, let's watch this video. This ought to be very interesting. This is Ibram Kendi, ex-Kendi.

If you see any role that churches or communities of faith can play in this anti-racist movement.

Sure. So I, yeah, I'm a preacher's kid and my parents pretty much met in what was known as the Black Power Movement, but more specifically for them, the movement for black theology. And so they were both Christians who imagined that the church was supposed to be an engine of liberation, that Christianity was supposed to be a source of liberation for black people and humanity.

They looked at That's very true. It actually is because as we know from the scriptures, everyone who's born in Adam is a slave to sin. We understand how that works. God created the universe. God created the world.

He created mankind in his image and then Adam rebelled against God. And so that was the fall, right? And so we understand that because of Adam's sin, we're now enslaved to sin. And so we needed someone to come and liberate us.

In fact, when Jesus goes to Jerusalem to be crucified, he speaks of that as the exodus. He's about to accomplish an exodus. He's about to liberate his people. Not everybody, because some people are going to remain in their sins and will be destroyed by God forever and ever and ever, amen.

But his people, he will liberate from their sin, from their slavery to sin, to become slaves of righteousness. So Ibram Kendi X is right, except how much you want to bet that that's actually not what he means by liberation.

Probably what he means is more cash for his bank account. He can hire another assistant director of some nonsense organization. I don't know.

Jesus is black, who would have fro, like they had their fros.

Liberation Theology, Black Theology, and the False Jesus of Social Justice

Yeah, their false Jesus is definitely black who had a fro. Yeah, he's definitely black. My favorite is when white preachers go, it doesn't matter what color Jesus was. By the way, he was probably very dark.

It's like, OK, so it doesn't matter or does it not matter? And does he have a fro or not? I mean, I don't know, but their fake Jesus has a fro and he's black.

And what I sort of ultimately realized in analyzing the form of Christianity that they were raised in, particularly during the black theology movement, and sort of just, I should say, contrasting that with the form of Christianity that 80 percent of white evangelicals have when they voted for Donald Trump.

I think one of the ways we can distinguish it is one being liberation theology. Right. Right. Liberation theology.

We talk about this on the channel all the time. I challenge you to pick up a liberation theology classic. James Cone's book on liberation is fantastic. You'd never thought you'd hear a theologian say the word honky so much, right?

Kill whitey, stuff like that. If God was white, we ought to kill him. Things of that nature. You know, this is this is what he believes that Christianity really is.

In other words, Jesus was a revolutionary. And the job of the Christian is to revolutionize society, that the job of the Christian is to liberate society from the powers on on earth that are oppressing humanity.

Everybody understand that?

Why the Gospel Saves Sinners, Not Merely the Oppressed

So I understand what you're saying, but I don't understand where you're getting it from. Well, I do understand you're getting it from your your, you know, your your economic backgrounds or sociological studies and all of this kind of you're getting it from James Cone.

But the Bible doesn't say any of that stuff. Obviously, we ought to advocate justice for the oppressed. But the thing is, like, he's trying to replace that with the actual spiritual reality of of becoming a Christian.

Yes, of course, oppression is something that Christians ought to fight. But oppression in my universe where I'm trying to see things the way God sees them is very different than oppression in your universe, because oppression in your universe, Ibram X. Kendi, is you standing on a stage with a bunch of white people fawning over your words with lots and lots of cash, with designer clothes and all this stuff.

Somehow, Ibram, you are oppressed. I don't know that I don't think that's what God had in mind when he was talking about the oppressed. He was actually talking about people that were really being abused and things of that nature.

The the Israelites in Egypt were really being mistreated by Egypt. It wasn't that they just didn't have as much stuff as the Egyptians. That actually wasn't it. It was that they were actually being taxed to death.

They were actually being abused and all of that kind of stuff. So anyway, yeah. So let's continue this.

That's liberation theology in a nutshell. Savior theology is a different type of theology. The job of the Christian is to go out and save these individuals who are behaviorally deficient. In other words, we're to bring them into the church, these individuals who are doing all of these evil, sinful things and heal them and save them.

And then once we've saved them, we've done our jobs. And to me, anti-racist fundamentally reject savior theology that goes right in line with racist ideas and racist theology in which they say, you know what, black people, other racial groups, the reason why they're struggling on earth is because of what they're behaviorally doing wrong.

And it is my job as the pastor to sort of save these wayward black people or wayward poor people or wayward queer people. That type of theology breeds bigotry.

We definitely don't want to we definitely don't want to preach a Christ that saves you from your sins because we don't well, I guess if you're white, though, if you're white, yeah, we could preach a Christ that wants to save you from your sins.

But if you're black or queer or poor or something like that, then you don't need to be safe from your sins. You just need to be liberated from from what? I mean, I don't know. That's the thing. Like, like, do you see the twisted nature of all of this stuff?

Because on the one hand, he's using biblical terms. Yes, of course, we ought to liberate the captives. Right. But captives from what? Right. Captives from what? We ought to we ought to visit people that are in prison and all that kind of stuff.

But but but the thing is, like, like, like, he's trying to make it sort of like, OK, so either you're liberating people or you're abusing them by saying that they're sinning. And we're against that. You can't save queer people.

Well, of course, I can't save anybody. Right. He's obviously talking about a Christ that saves. He's not he's saying that that's that's actually wrong to preach a Christ that saves. Rather, we have to preach a Christ that liberates.

And I'm sorry, but that's just not how this goes. Right. It almost it almost wants to victimize everybody. Right. Like, like, in a sense, I understand that I'm enslaved to sin when I'm in Adam. Right.

But that doesn't mean that I'm like this, this unwilling participant in the sin or like this victim. Like I'm when I'm when I'm in Adam, I'm participating in Adam's rebellion. I'm participating in Adam's sin.

And I might be or I might be poor. I might be black or I might be white. I might be queer or I might be straight. But if I'm in Adam and I'm not in Christ, then it's not like I'm just some innocent victim sitting on the sidelines.

And it's like, woe is me. Adam did this thing and now I'm totally screwed. No, no. You're participating in Adam's rebellion and you do it every day because it is clear to every person that's ever existed that God is there and his requirements are clear to people as well.

And when you don't measure up to those requirements, when you actually do the opposite, when you worship and serve the creation rather than the creator who is blessed forever, amen, you're participating in Adam's sin.

And so on the one hand, you do need to be liberated from that. That is definitely true. But you do need a savior. You do need Christ to save you from that situation, because without Christ saving you from the situation where you're participating in Adam's sin, I'm preaching gospel here, baby.

This is what I'm talking about. This is this get this should get every Christian fired up. Right. You need a savior who can liberate you from that from that situation, because without it, you will be a slave to sin forever.

You will be participating in Adam's rebellion until the day you die and thereafter as well. When you're being punished for that sin for all eternity, you're going to continue in that rebellion without a savior.

Right. Without a savior. And so when when when as Christians, when we go to preach Christ to the heathen, right, when we go to preach Christ to the pagans, absolutely. We preach a Christ that can save them from their wicked ways because they are doing wicked things.

And only a victim would be like, you're just saying that because I'm black. No, no, no, no, no. That's that's not the case at all. I've got African ancestry. I've got white ancestry. I've got native ancestry.

And I understand that all three of those ancestries, black, the European and the native, were eating each other before Christ. They were eating each other before they converted to Christianity. Like I'm talking literally eating each other.

You see what I'm saying? So we were all doing jacked up pagan heathen things before before Christ saved us and before the Church of God became to the point where it is today. It's just it's just spread everywhere.

It's just an amazing thing to think about how much the church has grown from the beginning. Right. And so we all understand that fundamentally. Ibram Kendi doesn't. Ibram Kendi thinks, well, if you if you're if you're telling me that I have to stop behaving in these evil ways, then you're just oppressing me.

That's white supremacy. And this is this is Jim Artisby's new boss. The dude doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. Right. Not a clue what he's talking about. But, you know, listen, your your boy, Jamar, chances are you're you're studying Jamar's book in your in your church's Bible study session and stuff like that.

Jamar Tisby is an unbeliever. I would suggest putting his book down and maybe picking up the Bible a little bit more.

The Need for Repentance, Not Affirmation, and the Story of Jehu

And so to me, the type of theology of liberation theology breeds a common humanity, a common humanity against the structures of a power that that oppress us.

You could hear the crowds roaring in approval of this, right, because, of course, pagans gon' peg. Obviously, pagans love to hear their worldview affirmed. Pagans love to see that someone's rebelling against Christ just the same way they are.

They love that kind of stuff. This man is being fawned over. And yet he will sit there and tell you in his designer clothing he's oppressed. This man is in love with himself, probably in love with the creation.

He worships and serves the creation rather than the creator. This man, unless he repents, will be destroyed for eternity. And that's a very sad thing. Jamar Tisby is on the same path as him, on the same exact path.

Guys, stop reading Jamar's nonsense. Stop it. You know, you're not helping him in any way to keep affirming him in his unbelief. There's nothing helpful about that at all. Take it from a minority. I'm the vice president of advocacy, narrative, and inclusion.

I'm also a minority. And let me just say this to you. We don't need more people pushing us and affirming us in our nonsense. You know what I mean? We don't need that. What we need is someone who will tell us, no, God has a way.

God has commands. God has saved his people. And you must repent of all this nonsense and submit yourself to him. That's the only way, man. There's only one way to save humanity. There's only one way to liberate humanity.

There's only one way. And that is through the gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel that saves you from your sin against him. I hope you found this video helpful. God bless. You know, one way to think about some of this stuff that I just find so interesting.

I was reading a story to my sons, my six-year-old, my four-year-old, and my two-year-old, about Jehu. Jehu. Jehu? Jehu. The good king of Israel. And if you remember, there's a story where he wants to destroy the prophets of Baal because he understands that the heathen will rage.

And the heathen is actually wicked. And the heathen needs to be shown justice, right? So there were Baal worshippers in Israel. And the previous king had served Baal, had supported them. And so he tricks the Baal worshippers.

Do you remember this story? I was telling my little sons this story today. I was telling them that the Baal worshippers were kids. And God was not for that. And so Jehu was a hero. And Jehu, he tricks them.

He says, the last king served Baal. I'm going to serve him more. And he tricks them all. He gets them to think that he's one of them. They're going to have a big Baal worshipping party. He gets them all together.

And he says to them, make sure there's no worshippers of God here, no worshippers of Yahweh here. We're worshipping Baal here, right? He gets them all together. And they're doing their sacrifices. They're doing their pagan rituals, whatever.

Because, you know, pagan rituals are actually not good in and of themselves. It doesn't matter what the ethnicities are involved. They actually need to be destroyed, right? So Jehu sets them all up. He makes them think that, oh, we're going to have a Baal worshipping party.

And then he sets up 80 men outside of the temple. And he says, all right, guys. Got them all here for you. I put them in your hand. Now go and destroy them. And he slaughtered every single heathen in that temple.

He tricked them. He lied to them. He said, I'm one of you. We're going to have a Baal worshipping party. Then he took 80 of his best men. He sent them into the temple. And he said, leave no man alive.

They're going to die, all of them, right here. Because the ways of the heathen need to be either saved or destroyed. It's either repent or perish. You have no other option. You repent of your heathen pagan ways or you perish.

And God used Jehu as an instrument in that moment. He tricked them. He fooled them. I told my sons that story this morning. And they were amazed by it. I mean, first of all, they thought it was awesome.

Because they like the idea of heroes helping kids and stuff like that. But I do want them to understand the severity of the choices that are in front of them. You either repent or you perish. You either worship Yahweh according to his commands and all that kind of stuff or you perish.

Ibram Kendi X wants you to think, oh, yeah, you don't need to really repent of your ways. You just need to be liberated. I don't know about that, but let's just leave it there. Because, obviously, I'm not advocating violence towards anybody or things like that.

But Ibram Kendi X is one of those that tickles your ears. He wants you to feel like everything's okay. You can be queer. It doesn't matter. God doesn't really care about that kind of stuff. He just wants you to be liberated.

He doesn't care that you're queer. He just wants you to be able to live a nice life where Christians don't condemn queerness. He's trying to assuage your rebellion and your revolution against God. But Ibram Kendi X doesn't love you because he knows that the penalty for living in your sins and rejecting Christ are severe.

But he doesn't want you to turn from them. He wants you to rebel against Christ the way he does. Don't do it. I hope you found this helpful. God bless.
