Pastor James has another conversation about Critical Race Theory with Iljin, a student from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, IL. The heresy of CRT now has a stranglehold on Evangelical Free and even Southern Baptist Seminaries. The Gospel is apparently thought by many seminary teachers, professors and administrators to be insufficient for the problems of today’s world. Can a person have truly experienced the power of the Gospel and still believe this?
“This is America’s church. It is the Church of Group Guilt. It is the cult of “Holy Wokeness.” It is nothing short of a new religion; one that demeans men, degrades women, sacrifices children, elevates revenge and encourages blame. This is a church whose leaders’ minds are dark with confusion. Their theology is an inch deep with compassion and a mile wide with compromise.”
–Dr. Everett Piper

Iljin-thank you so much for being so brave and transparent on these issues. You are most definitely correct in your analysis. I’ll be praying for God to help you navigate this at your seminary. May God continue to grant you boldness and clarity!
Thank you!
Thanks conservative mama!

Yes he does!
Got my notification! Keep’em coming! God bless.
Awesome! Thank you!
I would really like to share with my white, evangelical pastor, but am so apprehensive to do so. Please pray for me to be discerning and seek wisdom as to how to approach him. Thank you…God Bless.
Why would you be apprehensive? If you fear your pastor because you want to ask a biblical question, then I fear there are other things going on beyond this issue.
For Such a Time As This…not fearful, Pastor, just want to approach him with the right mindset and timing. Am praying that he will receive it with the spirit/intent with which I am presenting it.
I am honestly shocked that this theory has crept into so many parts of the church. Even those I love and have formed lasting relationships have started to view my standing in Christ along different criteria!
Do you think this was dealt with in Paul’s letter to the Galatians and the Judaizers? How does scripture inform our understanding / testing of CRT? I would love to hear your and Iljin’s exposition on that. We need scripture and the Holy Spirit to aid in speaking to others on these things.
Absolutely. Anytime people add anything to the gospel of grace (the work of Christ on the cross), they become accursed. Gal. 1:6-9 tell us so: “6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.” Adding social justice (work we have to do) to the gospel or to isolate a group of people and label them unable to receive the gospel of grace is what Paul would say “another gospel.” The gospel cannot be our work to change the system because it is the good news of Christ’s work.
People often say that the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) show that the gospel of kingdom is different than Paul’s gospel. They argue that we have to do “kingdom” work or “kingdom” ethics. However, they are wrong. At the core of the synoptic gospels is the substitutionary atonement. While the gospel authors speed through all the miracles and years of Jesus’ ministry, they always zoom into the last days of Jesus’ life–the cross and the resurrection. One may say that the gospel accounts narrate the substitutionary atonement with a little bit of introduction. While Paul describes the substitutionary atonement, the gospel authors narrate the substitutionary atonement. At the core of the gospel is the Messiah who took the place of sinners and died for them, and now is risen. The gospel of the kingdom and the gospel described by Paul are not separate. At the core of the gospel of the kingdom is the king who died for his people, so that they may enter the kingdom. It is not about what “kingdom” people have to do to stay in the kingdom or enter it. Praise be to God that it is not up to us!
The gospel of CRT is different than the biblical gospel in mu opinion.

Thank you Pastor! I appreciate this conversation and pointing us back to the Truth. The only place believers should be running to as a standard. Many prayers for you, your family and ministry! From this former church planting family to you, thank you! Thank you both!

Thank you brothers for this informative dialogue. You’re right–the critical race theorists have a different gospel…a different world view.
“But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.”
Galatians 1:8-9
