The trash being spewed out was just horrible. It was a hybrid between sit around and do fuck all whilst your country burns and dont take matters into your own hand because God is in control. Defend yourself against a criminal? congrats the love of Jesus isn't in you. It's best to talk to the criminal instead, assuming he doesn't kill you. Criminal murders your wife and kids? Just forgive him, because that's what Jesus would have done. Have a problem with local government because they are blatantly robbing you? Fuck you, do nothing, and pray to God. These are all worldly things, so keep letting the gov rob you because that's what Jesus would do. Wondering if race mixing is a sin? Jesus was a mutt mix, so race mixing is A-ok. I had absolutely no words for the last one.
Every. Single. Point was horribly wrong and contorted completely away from the meaning of Christ. To understand why this was so rage inducing, i came from a church that was very anti Israel/anti jew. In their eyes God chose the people of Israel as a way to fulfill prophecy, but did NOT like them as a people. Just like you can be chosen for a job, you can be chosen by God, either as a prophet or individual to fulfill His will. God himself even called the jews stiff necked individuals, and had to try really hard not to wipe them out over and over.
Salvation belongs to all who believe in Christ, so you can't be selected by God to discard other people who also believe in God. Either God looks after all his children, in which case the kikes can only be seen as a subset of individuals, who make up the totality of followers, or God doens't look after anyone at all. Even without going into the deep weeds, the entire premise falls flat on its face. Good luck discussing this view point in NY apparently, they support Israel or they go to hell.
Also I love how the pastor in question had some sublime bullshit story that never actually happened to explain every point, as if a one off incident marks the totality of humankind. These people are just the masters of cherry picking one off crap that's never part of the trend. If God is against violence, why is the entire Bible and the OT filled with violence? If he's against race mixing, why are there tribes at all? Wouldn't it make sense to have a one world tribe, and forsake the pesky naming conventions? If races and lineage didn't matterm why bother having the lineage of Jesus marked out? Why would the pharisees mention Abraham or being of his tribe if race was just a social construct?
Why did Paul talk to Gentile and jew, and not just "people"? They absolutely butchered Galatians 3:28 by claiming that since Paul states there is neither Jew nor Gentile (part 1), there are no races. Then they completely fucking ignore part 2 which says "in Jesus". There are no races and genders in the spirit of Jesus, which is NOT the same thing as there are no races and genders (end). Again, good luck trying to sort out the nuance between those two statements to someone from NY apparently.
The pastor sucks israel's dick, and tells you to go on a spiritual suicide mission to prove a point.
