On the point of social location and the Bible "is written to oppressed people", this seems like a significant overstatement to me. Throughout the Old Testament, Israel is both the oppressed and oppressor. Many of prophets, for instance, are confronting Israel for their practice of oppression and unrighteousness, even after they were liberated from oppression themselves. A greater overarching theme I see in the whole of scripture is that we are all prone to rebellion against God and oppression of others, regardless of our social location. That every single one of us cannot live up to the character of God, and therefore need His righteousness to cover us in Christ. While I agree with you that God's character is consistent throughout scripture in his disdain for oppression of others, we should be very wary of freezing ourselves into one side of the oppressor/oppressed paradigm in our reading and interpretation of scripture.
Hello Christians. Heaven is not going to be segregated. There will never be any racist in Heaven so we better stop denying and deflecting and solve this problem down here if we want to go up there to God's house in Heaven. Jesus Help Us All.
we are suppose to fix this on earth, if we call ourselves Christens. we are not in heaven yet, but we so do our best to bring heaven to earth. but the problem is the White Church. I was a member of several for about 20 years. it is a shame to see people living in a bubble.
All the first followers of Rabbi Yeshua were (and continued to be) Jewish. Acts 10 records the first non-Jewish person to believe Him who had not at least become a proselyte first. After that… “Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, spreading the word only among Jews. Some of them,however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus. The Lord’s hand was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.News of this reached the “Messianic community” in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord. Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called “Christians” first at Antioch. Acts 11:19-26

This is a strange video. The title is misleading.
No, the video just doesn’t get around to point. It sucks.
You need to improve your reading and listening comprehension.
@@darthregulus no it’s a very convoluted lecture they never get to the point. It’s very indirect.
He's a pastor and didn't share not one bible verse to point people to salvation in Christ?
Did you understand the assignment?😢
@@ladyjane4726the assignment was more political nonsense which is why I dont go to a black church anymore.
Question: Why would you be in a white church,while Black?
I am amazed by how almost everything he says about Blacks could be applied to women
