Sounds heretical. Didn’t know people of different ethnicities can “see” God differently. I thought there was only one way to “see”/view/relate to God which is through His word.
I really wonder why there was some “angst among African American elders” - it is perfectly fine, if not necessary to pray for our President. Intellectual humility is strikingly missing in the world today...
How is this okay? Where is this in the Bible? What happened to judging people based on the content of their character and not the color of their skin? What happened to simply loving your neighbor as yourself?
@@Brentontheone I meant normal vs. intersectional SJW. Not reading racism into everything. Seeing people as humans first. Seeing and acknowledging color and differences, but those things are lower priorities than our humanity and our Christianity. Differences and race don't change the level of kindness or respect that is shown to all. That's the way things should be.
@Joel Ebert - spot on brother! What is missing in the talk of most “Christian Leaders” is the acknowledgement (maybe even the awareness) that the majority of misunderstandings and misconceptions come directly from media manipulation which involves the Marxist idea that in our free and fair society we somehow still have “oppressed” and “oppressor” groups, which is simply not true.
It always has been an idol. Nothing about this is new. The video is about overcoming this idol, instead of ignoring the fact that we're different in many ways.
@@briandavilla1323 Could it be more demeaning to me as a latino man that someone claims that I am a one armed person in a two armed society and that white people are two armed. If that is not racism the what is it?
Carlos Aguilera Brother, he was using an analogy, not saying your are one or the other for the reverse is true as well. I, also, am a person of color, and I need to consider / learn how the person not of color sees things. Consider his example of the perception people have about the police.
I would disagree with the points this video makes. I never normally comment on posts but this lacks deep theological reflection and embraces cultural values through and through. Where are your biblical references for your presuppositions? Unfortunately, I think it embraces the "woke" theological narrative. As a result, it affirms the cultural understanding of white privilege and says that if we don't have a circle of multi-cultural, multi-ethic friends and contacts then we're superior in society - it's just that we don't know it. As I solution I would encourage us to : Take individual responsibility for our lives. We are all individually accountable before God and will all be judged by him as individuals. We are not fundamentally racist white people who need to be reconciled to black people. We're all fundamentally sinners who need to be reconciled to God. And God has done that through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:10)! Praise Jesus! As a result we are called to live in the freedom that Christ has freely given us by his grace, so that we might be able to love God and love our neighbour. "Who is my neighbour?", said the expert in the law. We only ask that question if we want to justify ourselves (Luke 10:29). Every single person is our neighbour. Every. Single. Person. Therefore let us pursue the love of each and every person we meet in our lives and cease this madness of making "multi-cultural, multi-ethnic friendships". It's offensive both to non-Christians and Christians alike.
Colin White, well said brother! The reason there are pastors and really many churches out there with this new ideology that is not scripture sound is because instead of reading and studying scripture they have been lead by the norms of this culture and society. The argument made on this video lacks biblical study and theology. Not at all what the true gospel is about. Above all culture, traditions, ethnicity and “race” our alliance is to our Heavenly Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Carla Linton. Me as a Christian Woman. I believe in Racial Reconciliation.

Huh? How is what okay??? Where is what in the Bible???
@@OxfordOrthodox humility and seeing things from another person's perspective perhaps....
What's this guy's name?
So many implications of what he says are theologically dangerous.
3:57 - He thinks this is special. He doesn't realize this is how normal people think. We don't care about race.
How do normal people think?

Racial reconciliation already exists. Look at your facebook list of friends and acquaintances.
Color has become another idol
Color can be an idol, but usually it’s not. It’s who I am and at times stands out more!
has become? pretty sure it was an idol back in the 16th and 17th centuries.
It always has been an idol. Nothing about this is new. The video is about overcoming this idol, instead of ignoring the fact that we're different in many ways.
This is why the church must speak on it.
Church condemns idolatry all the time
Oh my, this is horrible!
Carlos Aguilera what’s your problem?

Carlos Aguilera He’s speaking figuratively of those POC living in the majority culture.
@@briandavilla1323 I am a POC (I am brown) living as a cultural minority what am I to think of this man ideas? Do I have to embrace my minusvaly?

Cringe
Intersectionality at its finest
Listening. We will learn. Listening is critical. Then, learning.

Colin White Yes!!
Hmm ok can't say I agree with you on every point but you are free to make your opinion. You have blind spots but I hear ya.

Reconciliation does not happen until the phrase all lives matter can be uttered again. Period
