Amen Dr. Hawkins, it is a spiritual battle. Wisdom to not immediately refute. Prayer does move mountains that seem immovable. Wise man, and thanks for sharing with us, we all need to hear this. We are fortunate Pastor Jon cares enough to share his convictions from his heart. This is a win-win blessing. :)
Interestingly,a lot of the response from Christians has been correct in defending the Gospel! I have not heard much analysis of Neoliberal Capitalism! It's understood that Cultural Marxism epistemological framework needs to be critiqued! Although is there a Economic discussion rethinking we can engage in! For instance, The ideas of Catholic Social teaching ,or the work of Abraham Kuypur on labor rights! There seems to be an almost Confederate reaction against CM or Marxian Economic theory! Perhaps this will be an on going discussion!
So then where would people like Francis Schaeffer, Paul Tillich, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Rheinhold Niebuhr, and Soren Kierkegaard weigh in on a subjective problem like this if they were in a theatre of conversation on this topic? For me, Theology always trumps the endless dialogue and debate that Philosophy or Psychology presents. The Cross gets right to the point, end of the conversation, and endless commentary. The UCLA physics student was funny - no absolutes - absolutely, lol! In their denial is our defense. It's like the atheist who says, I do not believe - in such a statement, they are actually defending their rejection of absolute truth (subjectively) yet do have a belief thus negating their stance and argument.
The real critique (despite Marx/Freud) is when in the 1960s what was thought to be under IKE a nation that put on its money - IN GOD WE TRUST. Now if we held to that VALUE instead of looking to everything else but God, would we be having this conversation today. So in 1962 - the 10 commandments come out of what was taught in schools since the 1600's - as did the Bible - as did prayer, and by 1982 - God was kicked out of the EDUCATION system to the curb. Now idleness as the speaker here elaborately describes who is who, and how - idleness is the devil's workshop. When people spend their time in rebellion, instead of prayer in seeking God in good faith, we are now where we are today. Computers and technology have only accelerated and exacerbated this problem. We seek the science and not the creator of the scientist, and all that exists in science. So when we add the mathematical impossibilities of combinations one on top of another, i.e. intersections, we have nothing but chaos without direction. No focus, no goal, because the rhetoric of failure is inevitably unforgivable. So the penalty is constant with no remedy. This is what happens with so many variables, eyes off God, and eyes on self - or as Jesus said, the log in our brother's eye. Invite God back into the classroom, and the culture, and you will not have these problems. Revival should be the priority. So what is the gospel? Good News of what God has done for us. In order for good news to work, we have to come to grips with the bad news, which is all around us now. It is high time, and ripe to share Jesus, who is the only hope, and the only answer, if we as men and society are to have an answer or yet another patient chance from a benevolent merciful God.
Without a BASE do you really have a basis? The problem of trying to answer a question without God. Outside of Him, nothing exists. When a dog chases it's tail long enough, it bites it. Exactly - bad root = bad fruit. The distortion causes distraction, which is what the devil is good at. So CRT is not "thee sin" it is a sin, within SIN. There are no degrees or descriptions that need to be added. Sin is sin, and in it, we fall short of the glory of God. We are 1 human race, with the same blood. The only solution is found at the Cross. Distracted from the solution, eyes on God, the truth and solution are never realized, much less actualized.

I have a question can you answer it for me?
