The more I read and learn about philosophies such as Critical Race Theory (CRT), the more I realize how badly the church is being hoodwinked to believe the ideas of men. These philosophies and Theories are built upon the shifting sands of postmodern ideology and Marxist political activism. They in no way are compatible with Scripture which asserts itself as THE truth. Not a truth, not a localized/cultural truth, not production of knowledge made by groups in power, but THE very truth of God Himself.
You cannot marry philosophies built on the denial of objective truth with God’s one and only truth in Scripture. You cannot use something like CRT as an analytical tool to help you understand and apply Scripture. They are mutually exclusive. They are completely at odds with one another.
CRT demands that you believe the postmodern ideology that language is not only inadequate to determine what truth is, but that language is the tool of oppressors to control knowledge production. CRT requires you to tear down the very tools necessary to read, understand, and apply Scriptural truth because white, western control of language has allegedly caused oppression to those who would know and understand biblical truth differently. It requires you to believe that reading the Bible literally, understanding it contextually, seeking to know what the writers actually meant and what the original audience would have understood are tools of oppression.
This is a lie straight from the pit of Hell! This is why CRT and the like are not and cannot be compatible with Christianity. They are based on the ideas of men which are wholly incompatible with Scriptural truth.
Listen, I get it we are all getting weary of this debate. I understand that. But, this system has been built under our noses for generations now. We didn’t know it because we didn’t know what to look for. We saw snippets of it, but it was easy to dismiss, or so we thought. Now it is at our doorstep, it’s in our homes, our churches, and our families. We can’t just ignore it and hope it will go away.
These Theory philosophies are imbedded in our everyday lives now. And they will seek to destroy our very faith in God’s Word. It’s time we stop seeking to bury our heads in the sand. It’s time to stand up, understand the battle plan of the enemy and engage in the very war for truth. Future generations will be impacted by the decisions we make today. So, open your Bibles, study, pray, and get to work.
