Listen to what he has to say about it and how its linked to the destruction of Christian beliefs.

I'm not wasting my time watching a video. The question was somewhere between expecting you to answer it and simply being rhetorical.

Admire the man or admire the message?

And your unwillingness to listen to any of his sermons of faith, TRUTH and biblical based teaching thats holding you back. And I'm very sorry to see that. God bless I'll pray for you.

Actually I'd say "Both". The man and the messages are equally important, if you can't trust the man then how can you trust his messages? I dont trust Kenneth Copland or Joel Osteen so I refuse to trust their false messages and false doctorans.

I guess there could be times when a minister is really reaching for a point that those two issues could come into a sermon...depending on what he has to say about them. But it appears to be another example of a minister pandering to politics. Ministers should stay out of politics. Teach moral lessons, but leave the interpretation of those lessons to the people, particularly when it comes to issues related to politics and elections.

You are absolutely right about CRT being grossly misunderstood. About 5 different times when that topic has come up in conversations I have been in, I've asked the person who mentioned it to define it. They had no idea what it was. They'd simply heard right-wing politicians say the phrase and it became part of their political babble.

I have far too many forums to watch to take time to watch videos. I figured if the point was important that you could summarize it in a few sentences.

I was hoping that somebody would convince me that CRT was being properly used. When the term is correctly used, it is the topic for a graduate school class or law school.

So far, I'm still assuming it would be a waste of time to watch the videos.

Some people prefer social injustice. Literally.
