00:00:12.440
our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds.
00:00:16.160
You and I both know that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries
00:00:21.580
We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears.
0.98
00:00:26.820
you've probably heard the news stories about the grooming gangs of allegedly asian men
00:00:36.860
in oldham england the story is horrific but it must be talked about because it illustrates why
00:00:44.560
christians are right to build preserve and defend their cultures is england lost and if so what does
00:00:53.720
that mean for the formerly Christian West? This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors,

00:01:23.640
this important topic. We're back. We are back. Good afternoon. GA, as the kids are saying.
00:01:38.380
GA, as the kids say. We've got a warning for this one. You want to give it? Yep. So this is going to
00:01:43.620
be one of the episodes that will not be appropriate for children. We're going to talk about some heavy
00:01:47.780
things going on. And yeah, just if you normally listen to, or if you let your kids listen to some
00:01:53.840
of our episodes, this is not going to be the one for them. Yeah, most of our episodes, we try to
00:01:59.180
make it something that's family-friendly. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's entertaining
00:02:03.240
for a three-year-old, but our church is family-integrated in our worship. In other words,
00:02:08.980
we believe convictionally that on the Lord's Day that families should worship together. We don't
00:02:13.880
want to send kids away outside of church to a separate room and call it children's church or
00:02:18.780
whatever. We don't think that's church. We think church is something that's specifically defined
00:02:23.420
by God, prescribed in the scriptures. A lot of churches, sadly, there's something, it's not
00:02:29.860
supplemental merely on a Wednesday night. You know, you can make an argument for that, but it's
00:02:33.560
a substitute for Sunday morning, that the parents come and they drop their children off at not
00:02:40.000
children's church but if we're honest it's a children's daycare a children's child care and
00:02:45.380
and sometimes there are some churches especially mega churches where that occurs all the way up
00:02:50.200
through not just grade school but even middle school and high school so that you know parents
00:02:55.300
are are shocked and dismayed when they find out that their kids who are now legal adults and have
00:03:00.200
gone to college you know have decided to opt out of attending church and they're like how you know
00:03:04.680
we didn't raise our child to do this. And it's like, yes, you did. Your child spent the first
00:03:09.980
18 years of their life never attending church at all. And the reason why it's not church is
00:03:14.740
because church is strictly defined. It's the public preaching of the word, the public praying
00:03:19.160
of the word, the public singing of the word in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and the public
00:03:24.760
seeing, S-E-E-I-N-G, of the word in the two sacraments, the only two images prescribed to
00:03:30.200
us by the Lord Jesus Christ, the water of baptism and the bread and wine in the Lord's
00:03:35.300
And there are kids who literally, they go their whole lives, their whole childhood without
00:03:39.680
ever seeing the sacrament of the Lord's Supper administered, without ever being with their
00:03:45.800
So all that being said, that's a little plug, side plug for a family integrated church.
00:03:50.620
But our church, Covenant Bible Church in Central Texas, is family integrated.
00:03:55.680
And so it's just become second nature, at least for myself and I think you guys as
00:03:59.700
regular hearers of the word, but for me, especially as a preacher of the word, to always preach in
00:04:05.300
such a way, not that it's necessarily fun and happy and entertaining, but where it is appropriate.
00:04:10.980
It's appropriate, at least, for young children. And so most of our podcasts, same kind of thing.
00:04:17.660
You know, some of our podcasts, we might do some fun topics like Nephilim and Giants,
00:04:21.240
and then it really is fun for the five-year-old. But most of our topics are cultural, political,
00:04:26.900
doctrinal commentary. And they may not be entertaining, but they are appropriate for
00:04:31.740
young children. But from time to time, there's some kind of political or cultural event that
00:04:37.060
must be talked about, that we're not doing just for clicks. It's not just for views. It's not
00:04:42.100
just to be edgelords. But no, the Christian faith must be applied in that particular realm.
00:04:47.620
And this is one of them. What's going on in England has to be talked about. We need to apply
00:04:51.600
a biblical Christian worldview. But this does happen to be one of those topics that I would not
0.96
00:04:56.220
preach at least as explicitly and clearly as we're going to talk about today on a Sunday morning from
00:05:02.420
the pulpit in a family-integrated church. So for those of you who are watching with your family,
00:05:06.580
pick a different episode. Those of you who are listening in the car, turn down the volume,
00:05:10.780
throw in some headphones or one headphone so you can still hear the kids and pay attention to
00:05:15.140
your driving. But this is not a family-friendly episode. All right.
00:05:19.360
Yeah. Well, what we want to do, we don't, we're not a news program. We're not reporting on the
00:05:26.240
news. There are groups and podcasts and newspapers that are doing that. So we are trying to get to
00:05:33.480
something about, you know, partway through the episode. We want to offer commentary and a biblical
00:05:39.280
perspective on it. But in order to set the stage for that commentary, we do have to talk about
00:05:45.240
what's going on and give some details, because to just say there have been a series of rapes in
00:05:51.480
England and then start talking about it from a Christian perspective, people would say, well,
00:05:55.580
you guys are way overreacting. Like, yeah, rape is bad, but you guys are way overreacting. And so
0.54
00:06:02.120
given that we want to kind of let the seriousness and the depth to which some of this is going on
00:06:22.680
by a series of news stories right around the new year,
00:06:27.020
January 1st, 2nd, 3rd, somewhere right around there,
00:06:35.560
And I've read a number of articles in newspapers from England, and they all said, we have to
0.79
00:06:41.520
say Asian men, but when we do, we all know we're talking about Pakistani men.
00:06:45.400
So every time we say Asian men, if you're listening on Apple or Spotify, and you're
00:06:49.520
not watching it on X or YouTube or, you know, rightresponseministries.com or our app or
0.80
00:06:54.220
anything like that, if it's not visual, just assume that every time we say Asian men, pretty
00:06:59.600
much all three of us are doing the biggest quotation marks sign language with our hands
0.74
00:07:05.340
that you can possibly imagine because it's a joke well they are asian but like wes said before the
00:07:11.500
show oh japanese are are in england no no it is a particular japanese in england right now
0.95
00:07:17.780
you know they've comprised gangs doing terrible things yeah no that's not happening um so um
00:07:24.700
elon musk i don't know how but he got a hold of some of these stories and some of the graphic
00:07:30.520
nature which we're not even going to read some of the the extremely graphic things on the show today
00:07:38.300
And the idea that there were gangs of men who had been victimizing, grooming, raping,
0.86
00:07:43.780
taking advantage of, even killing, in some cases, young British white girls without consequence,
00:07:54.300
for the most part, there have been some, but largely without consequence, it just shocked
0.64
00:07:59.700
And if you guys remember, like one of the reasons he kind of went against woke was what happened to his son, the way his son was tranced.
00:08:11.840
And so for him, this actually kind of follows a pattern for him.
00:08:14.560
He sees, okay, wait, we're doing what to kids in England now?
00:08:20.900
And it's interesting that the prime minister of England has separated himself from those tweets.
00:08:28.360
He has said, you know, that's inflammatory and unnecessary.
00:08:30.980
But the tweets, because he's the most, the richest man in the world, has the biggest
00:08:35.340
platform in the world, it has set off a firestorm in the media and in social commentary.
00:08:41.940
What is interesting to me is that what's going on in Oldham is not just part of a larger
00:08:48.360
It's actually part of a larger pattern in Europe.
00:08:50.060
I don't know if you guys remember, but back in 2016, there were all the sexual assault
00:08:54.840
and abuse cases that happened on New Year's Eve,
00:09:03.920
there were similar outbreaks of Muslim men
0.99
00:09:07.040
gang violence and sexual assault against women.
0.99
00:09:23.760
the media has been cut off from this, but there is a rash of sexual violence by the, I think there
1.00
00:09:31.980
was more the Somali refugees that Sweden had brought in. And so this is actually part of
0.90
00:09:38.240
something that's going on in a lot of Christian or formerly Christian Europe. And Elon Musk
00:09:44.580
poked to the bear today with a particular tweet about the statistics and the numbers in Europe.
00:09:50.040
So we're going to show this tweet that he posted earlier today.
00:09:58.920
studies show that men from non-European origin commit 84% of assault rapes
00:10:04.540
despite only making up around 10% of the population.
00:10:08.560
An Algerian is 122 times more likely to commit aggravated rape
00:10:12.780
than a Swede, and an Afghan is 69 times more likely.
0.97
00:10:20.040
more likely yeah 84 percent is committed of these atrocious crimes is being committed by
00:10:28.500
10 well and maybe half although i think there are more men who have immigrated than women
0.88
00:10:34.620
but if you assume like maybe six percent of the the muslim population is men right and four percent
0.99
00:10:40.280
women or something like that like it's even more disproportionate than so then yeah that's a great
1.00
00:10:44.360
point. It's predominantly the men that are doing this, if not almost exclusively. So then that 10%
0.99
00:10:51.840
gets knocked down to 5% or 6%, which means that in terms of multiples, your 122 times becomes
00:10:59.220
like 140 times. Your 69 times becomes like 140 times. That's absurd. And you're not allowed to
00:11:08.160
talk about these things um but if you have a section a relatively small subset of the population
00:11:16.040
that is endangering everyone else at a horrific atrocious degree and level um then as civil
0.53
00:11:25.740
magistrates civil fathers if you look at you know like um the puritans thomas watson and different
00:11:31.060
guys like that you know talk about even in the fifth commandment to honor thy father there are
00:11:34.740
different kinds of fathers. There are ancient fathers, like we would honor, you know, Augustine,
00:11:38.960
we would honor Constantine, we would honor Athanasius, you know, Origen, Irenaeus, like
00:11:44.220
there are multiple, you know, ancient fathers that we honor. But then there are spiritual fathers,
00:11:49.480
ecclesiastical fathers, even to this day, you know, think of your pastor, you know, you think
00:11:53.180
of those who are ordained officers in the ecclesiastical realm. And then there are familial
00:11:58.380
fathers, like your little father and mother in the fifth commandment that's explicit. But then
00:12:03.280
there are also not just ancient or spiritual or familial, but there are civil fathers that should
00:12:08.180
be honored as well. And you look at, you know, Stephen Wolf's conception of, you know,
00:12:13.820
the Christian prince, and then our American scheme, our political scheme that we prefer,
00:12:18.500
we're Americans, we think it's good. Much of our founding, there are problems, but much of our
00:12:22.040
founding we view positively, then, you know, if the Christian prince scares you, well, then just
00:12:27.500
add an es at the end uh christian princes um that you know that there would uh be be more it wouldn't
00:12:33.500
just be a monarch but there would be multiple christian princes um but you look at again back
00:12:37.940
to thomas watson and in his you know uh late great puritan his work the ten commandments on the fifth
00:12:43.380
commandment with civil fathers he says he describes them uh using some of the language that the
00:12:48.020
apostle paul uses in sacred scripture and talks about nursing fathers um that they that they
00:12:52.880
really have a fatherly role to protect their citizens. It's not H-1B. For their nation,
00:13:00.900
they're obligated to their nation, and that means they're obligated to the people that make up their
00:13:05.180
nation, that place, that people. That obligation towards their nation, America first, if we use
00:13:10.460
our country, does not mean that America is likened to a sports ball team and that America needs to
00:13:18.280
win the next global championship, and it doesn't matter if Americans actually get any game time.
0.53
00:13:25.080
We can actually bench all the Americans, aka, unemploy them, and we can go ahead and substitute
0.94
00:13:31.960
and transfer in a bunch of Hindus, just so long as America wins the race for AI, or wins the race
0.97
00:13:40.420
for going to Mars, or wins... GDP goes up. Exactly. As long as the team wins. No, no. America first
0.94
00:13:46.180
means Americans first. That's what it should mean. If that's not what it means, that's totally fine.
0.90
00:13:51.640
You're just, you're wrong. It should mean the people of this country. And so that's the duty
00:13:57.500
of civil fathers to their people. And if native Englishmen, if native Brits who can track their
00:14:07.560
ancestry to that piece of land for a thousand years plus are being, their daughters are literally
00:14:14.700
being ravaged by a small subset of the population that has been there for less than a century in
0.92
00:14:22.020
some cases um for 15 minutes some somalians and things like that um then what you do is you round
0.99
00:14:30.380
them up and you deport them and the ones who've committed crimes you go even further you're gonna
00:14:36.180
you're gonna be surprised by michael's gonna be based today no it just this has been attempted
00:14:41.360
actually in some cases. Oh, wow. Yep. Okay. Real quick, let's pause for a second. Like the video.
00:14:47.140
If you are watching on YouTube, subscribe, click the bell so that you catch every single piece of
00:14:52.960

Christendom to restore. The order is tall. You need to be maxing out. You have an obligation to
00:15:07.980
be online 14 hours a day with 17 different anon accounts no you don't need to do that you do need
00:15:13.500
to touch grass you need to love your wife love your kids be a churchman in the local setting
00:15:16.920
however i'll dial it down a little bit if you're on youtube you do need to pull out your laptop
00:15:23.420
you need to be on on one one platform on your phone another platform on your laptop and you
00:15:28.820
need to go over to x and some of you guys you follow us on youtube you need to be following
00:15:32.380
on both platforms on YouTube, but also on X, go to at, here's the handle, at RightResponseM.

00:15:51.220
them. Give it a retweet on X. Let's get the word out as much as we possibly can. All right. Okay.
00:15:56.860
So in England specifically, the population of, the Muslim population is about 6.3%.
00:16:02.300
Actually, Pakistanis have been immigrating to England since the 1930s.
00:16:06.200
So it's not just in the last 10 or 15 years, but the number and the different regions,
00:16:15.200
Somalia, North Africa, Pakistan, that has increased quite a bit over the last couple of decades.
00:16:22.160
At bare minimum, what we can say, and this is just the convictions that we know of,
00:16:27.100
But over the last decades, there's been a minimum of about 2,000 underage girls, some very young, and we're talking five years old, that have been groomed, trafficked, and even killed predominantly throughout northern and central England.
00:16:42.960
And the number's probably much higher than that.
00:16:46.860
These are just the ones that they've managed to have convictions on.
00:16:49.320
um and then the percentage is the same the convictions the vast majority of the perpetrators
00:16:55.900
of this have been a Pakistani Somali and North African Muslim men it's 84 percent 84 percent um
00:17:01.820
even the ones that are white are part of a gang that's run by these Asian men so even the ones
00:17:11.080
that are well they fall outside of that yes have been influenced yes it's like having yeah it's
0.86
00:17:16.600
like sending your kids to public school and your kids end up doing some bad things but part of it
00:17:20.700
is their influence but you know yeah so in every every single level like if you add that i wonder
00:17:25.500
like with the 16 percent my you know the the other side of the 84 um that is part of the native
00:17:31.460
population um i wonder how how much lower that number would get without the influence of these
0.97
00:17:38.160
foreign people who are committing atrocious crimes that basically what we're saying is it sounds like
1.00
00:17:42.660
if it wasn't for this foreign influence and you know and and the trojan horse of dei and and don't
0.99
00:17:50.540
be a racist you know and um like you could almost eradicate yep like virtually eradicate the
0.74
00:17:57.700
entirety of these horrific crimes which which are happening it's not just happening to um the british
00:18:03.660
you know heads of households you know like like grown men in their 40s and 50s you know who are
00:18:08.160
the penalty is that they're taking a pay cut you know or being overlooked for the next promotion
00:18:12.360
but you're talking literally the equation is is this this simple in my mind you guys correct me
00:18:17.160
if i'm i'm being hyperbolic but it seems as though the equation is um uh older brits have a very
00:18:24.980
clear choice it's um uh you can either be called racist by strangers who hate you um and preserve
00:18:33.800
your daughters or you can offer your daughters up as a a human sacrifice to foreigners and
00:18:41.400
strangers who worship demon gods um but meets your dei quotas and be uh considered a tolerant
00:18:49.780
person that's the headline of the story well on the foreigners piece too we've talked a little
00:18:53.380
bit about high trust before that's exactly what you would expect is those type of people they
1.00
00:18:58.100
have no grounding in a place so i've said before my grandma told me about growing up and she's
00:19:02.240
probably in her like mid-70s so she's not really like that old this is an america that existed like
00:19:07.320
within her lifetime. But she would just go to the playground at school. Nobody would have a second
00:19:12.000
thought. Go to the corner store. And why didn't people do terrible things? Why weren't kidnapping
00:19:16.900
so prevalent? Well, not necessarily probably because every single person was regenerate.
00:19:21.240
Probably a good majority of them actually were. But even those that weren't regenerate, the
00:19:24.960
mechanism that God has given to many people to help restrain the wickedness, even of unbelievers,
0.67
00:19:30.560
is you take them and you put them in the same place. And then for generation upon generation
0.96
00:19:34.680
upon generation they do life together they attend the same schools they build up shops together
00:19:40.540
they do life and then when you think about it would you go to your local this just happened
00:19:45.120
in england local dance studio and i don't know stab six young girls to death well of course not
00:19:50.520
my my mom used to teach there i grew up with that teacher these girls are the cousins or the
00:19:56.240
neighbors this that or the other you want to do it because it would be subconsciously engraved
00:20:01.140
into your own conscience, your own mind that to do that would be to do it to myself. I think of,
00:20:06.600
you know, Ephesians 5, and obviously that's specifically talking about the covenant bond
00:20:10.640
of marriage. And so that's a more potent bond. That would be a higher degree, so I'm going to
00:20:15.400
argue from the greater, but give, I think, a same principle conception to the lesser. Well, at the
00:20:20.740
greater level, the covenant of marriage, which is stronger, I have a further obligation to my wife
00:20:29.020
But the language that's used there by the Apostle Paul
00:21:02.360
But when you have these in-group and out-group dynamics
00:21:07.760
because you've invited the third world into your country
1.00
00:21:21.860
in one little tiny British, you know, town, and they never even need to learn how to speak English
0.91
00:21:27.160
because they can just talk to one another and they can prefer one another, then they're not
00:21:31.540
doing that to themselves. They're doing it to you. And it's very much etched into their consciences
00:21:37.060
of this, you know, there's us and them, us and them. But people don't degrade, typically, just
00:21:44.820
by natural instincts, because people are created in the image of God. So even apart, like Wes said,
00:21:49.540
apart from regeneration, apart from a new heart by the work of the Spirit and regeneration,
00:21:55.180
even fallen man, unregenerate man, but still made in the image of God, is like people are
00:22:03.640
It's always a subset, a fraction of the population that would actually take their own life in
00:22:09.880
And it's not because you have to, you know, train people, you know, and do years and years
00:22:14.640
of counseling from the age of three to teach people why suicide would be bad and all these
00:22:18.900
it's instinctive. Like when Jesus says, love your neighbor as yourself, you know, a bunch of
00:22:23.460
woke, you know, feminists, you know, in evangelical circles have said, see, the first law is to love
00:22:28.820
yourself because you can't love your neighbor as yourself if you don't love yourself. Jesus is not,
00:22:32.880
he's not prescribing self-love as a prerequisite to loving others. He's assuming self-love. So,
00:22:39.200
he's not saying, work on loving yourself more, therefore you can love others more. No, Jesus is
00:22:44.620
love your neighbor as yourself, assuming that it's built into human fabric, that everybody,
00:22:49.860
whether they're born again of the Spirit or not, they all love themselves. You love yourself every
00:22:54.780
time you eat a meal. You love yourself every time you breathe, instead of holding your breath until
00:22:59.220
you pass out. We all instinctively love ourself. And so the husband-wife dynamic, Ephesians 5,
00:23:05.440
is just a further fleshing out of that, that the wife should be viewed as an extension of the
00:23:11.780
husband's self that she is the body and then you go further from that the children and then you go
00:23:16.420
further from that the grandparents and the aunts and the uncles and eventually in similitude you
00:23:20.720
have a nation the likeliness we share history we share morals we share religion we share holidays
00:23:26.540
like that parade that the guy just drove the truck into people don't do that because it's like wait
00:23:31.540
these are the people that i've shared everything with we live in the same land we remember the
00:23:37.080
same history we go to the same movies we eat the same why would i do that share a main street right
00:23:41.620
Why would I do that to these people that are like me?
00:23:46.880
Well, it's interesting because even the people investigating this, that there have been investigations over time, but even the people investigating it do not want to live in reality.
00:23:56.060
So I have a quote here from, this was a number of years ago, a guy who was investigating a rash of outbreak of some of these grooming gangs.
00:24:12.680
He said, this is at the end of the conclusion of the report.
00:24:16.160
He said, we didn't want there to be a pattern of people from our ethnic demographic carrying out these attacks.
00:24:23.660
Now, right as soon as he said that, he says, Mr. Afzal also warned gang grooming was not the most common form of child sexual abuse.
0.75
00:24:32.360
And it's like, OK, guys, they're actually and it's true on the books.
00:24:35.820
there are more like just you know individual like an abusive father that sort of thing like
00:24:41.180
there's just more population of that and so the point is this guy is like we don't want there to
00:24:46.220
be a particular type of person that's doing that and by the way all those white people like just
0.60
00:24:53.340
by proportion of population there are more sexual assaults that are not carried out by gangs of
0.75
00:24:58.800
grooming um and it's like nothing to see here and even if there was something to see here this is
00:25:03.700
not a big deal right and it's like well no this is a huge deal that's the same here's why it matters
00:25:09.440
it's this it's the same as like when we did our episode during june of last year you know um
00:25:16.500
sodomy month you know like um and we gave the statistics and and we drew that you know the
00:25:23.240
straight line from um i'm gay to i'm a pedophile right and saying uh not a coincidence the
0.53
00:25:32.500
statistics are exponentially higher for particularly gay men right scissors sisters not as much but
0.99
00:25:39.620
for gay men sodomites um real straight line all right it's a real gay line but you know you get
0.99
00:25:45.600
my point real straight line um from gay men to uh grooming children and and what we were trying to
0.99
00:25:53.980
say is uh perversion reaps perversion the the scripture talks about sin you don't wake up in
0.87
00:25:59.580
the morning. Everybody is totally depraved, apart from salvation in Christ, which comes by grace
00:26:04.880
alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. So everybody's a sinner, and even those who are
00:26:10.160
saved with new hearts, we still, the power of sin is broken, the penalty of sin is paid, but the
00:26:14.840
presence of sin still remains until the next life, when we see him, 1 John, we will be like him, for
00:26:20.880
we shall be as he is, sinless, as Christ is sinless. However, in the meantime, everybody's a sinner,
00:26:26.880
and the unregenerate are totally depraved sinners, but total depravity is distinct from
00:26:33.040
utter depravity. You can be totally depraved, and yet still, when it comes to, at the level of the
00:26:39.260
heart, inwardly, total depravity, but outwardly, in terms of physical, external manifestations of
00:26:45.220
sin, you can still be restrained in those outward expressions of sin because of fear. And that's a
00:26:53.000
good and biblical principle that's what romans 13 is all about that the civil magistrate does not
00:26:57.380
bear the sword in vain and that it keeps people in check that even the unregenerate totally depraved
00:27:03.940
individual uh thinks to himself and says you know like i mean there are people right now who i get
00:27:09.360
death threats but by god's grace this could change it's only the grace of god protecting me and my
00:27:14.880
family but by god's grace nobody's ever acted on it do you know why because they would probably go
00:27:20.580
to jail and so there are terrible people who hate me hate my children threaten my children who have
00:27:28.140
never acted upon it um in large part because fear of the sort fear of the sort that it actually
00:27:35.220
restrains and so my point in all of that is that um there's a straight line from uh uh the lgbt
00:27:44.320
you know q plus and you gotta ask what's the plus represent pedophiles that's what it represents
0.84
00:27:49.940
There's a straight line from that to child grooming and horrific acts of being sexual predators.
0.75
00:27:58.420
Now, you can't draw that with race and say there's a logical, a progression of sin straight line.
00:28:08.880
And my point in that is, it's one thing, right?
00:28:12.700
Like these days, everybody's really worried about not being anti-Semitic or whatever.
00:28:19.940
I don't want to get into that. We've done plenty on it, and I'm sure we'll do plenty more in the
00:28:22.960
future. But I will say this, you know, noticing has become all the rage these days. Noticing,
00:28:28.860
noticing. And for those who are, you know, their greatest fear in the world is being called
00:28:35.980
anti-Semitic, then they're very anti-noticing. Well, it sounds like that's precisely where this
00:28:42.140
British prime minister is. Right? So it's one thing to where you always try to make something
00:28:47.540
a pattern john harris did a good job talking about you know the dangers of ideology ideology
00:28:51.940
part of the dangers of ideology and you can have christian ideology is it's like uh you you just
00:28:57.680
learned about calvinism so now everything's a nail everything is the tulip everything's you know
00:29:01.580
about uh you know unconditional election or limited detainment or whatever it's like oh that's that's
00:29:07.040
calvinism that's calvinism or you just became patriarchal and so everything is a problem of
00:29:11.820
feminism and and and that's that's absurd i would say only you know 99 percent of things are related
00:29:17.780
to like i'm a moderate exactly i'm a reasonable moderate person um or or then you get j-pilled
00:29:24.240
you know on the whole you know jewish question or whatever and you're like it's always the jewish
00:29:28.520
cabal you know you know every single time you know and you can track everything back you know
00:29:33.380
um and and so there are problems with being ideological and one of the in my opinion one
00:29:38.500
the incentives towards that frame of mind is because it's uh it's easy it's easy it's easy
00:29:43.780
seriously like it you know what's hard reading um old long books old doing the reading as they say
00:29:53.260
doing the reading is hard you know what's easy 4chan you know what's easy um just being on on
00:29:59.500
x all day and and getting j-pilled by you know whoever and and then saying oh i've i've figured
00:30:06.320
out the secret to all things. And I've also figured out the true test of orthodoxy. How do
00:30:09.740
I know if somebody's a false teacher or if they're faithful? How do I know if somebody's actually a
00:30:13.680
Christian or not? Well, it all depends on what they say about the Jews, you know? And so, and
00:30:19.000
you boil, it's this redactic oversimplification in reality. And it's like, well, why? Why is that
00:30:26.940
person? Well, I can tell you why. It's because you haven't done the reading. The reason why is
00:30:31.580
because reading Bovink's systematic theology is a lot more difficult than spending an afternoon
00:30:38.460
on 4chan. And so my point is, you know, there are patterns. There are patterns. We don't want
00:30:46.100
to say that this one pattern is the master key. That's what guys try to do. They try to take one
00:30:51.520
doctrine, post-millennialism. I've done that. They try to take one doctrine, like Calvinism.
00:30:56.500
I did that too, did my Calvinism cage stage.
0.98
00:31:00.420
So one doctrine, or they try to take one pattern, the Jews, you know, whatever, and they try
1.00
00:31:05.700
to make it the master key in order to compensate for their lack of knowledge in all these other
0.91
00:31:12.600
realms that also matter, because it's actually a multivariant situation.
00:31:16.460
However, on the flip side, there are a lot of guys, good Christian brothers that we love,
00:31:21.600
who I think are dead wrong and choosing to be part of the problem by saying that we basically,
00:31:28.000
it's one thing to go look for a pattern when there's not and try to force the square peg in
00:31:32.380
the circle hole and say there is a pattern when there's not. But it's another problem when there
00:31:38.520
are clear patterns that you will not allow yourself to recognize when the pattern is there
00:31:43.340
and you refuse to see it. And that can be with the month of June and gay men adopting children
0.95
00:31:54.000
and the incredibly high statistical likelihood of what happens when gay men adopt children,
0.84
00:32:00.940
and you just refuse to see that pattern. And it can be equally devastating when you refuse to see
0.68
00:32:07.280
a pattern of importing Pakistanis by the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, into a country
00:32:16.580
that is largely incompatible with their faith, their religion, their culture, and then just
0.99
00:32:24.960
setting them loose on the native population of young girls. There's a pattern there also.
0.94
00:32:31.960
The thing we talked about it before, too, this would be most more refugees from Africa,
00:32:35.560
but some from pakistan there's not conceptions in these cultures and in these languages of
00:32:40.360
reciprocity and consent is a little bit of a egalitarian framing but of sexual consent we
00:32:46.260
it was probably about six months ago now but there's these africans and they're being interviewed
1.00
00:32:49.840
and it's like uh well what if the woman doesn't want to be molested they couldn't fathom it right
0.96
00:32:55.900
wait we that's what you just do like in these i've read stories about these ngos and these aid
00:33:00.760
workers that go in and they're like it's just commonplace that boys just if they want to have
0.79
00:33:04.740
sex with someone in public they just do it so you have people that don't even have a concept of
00:33:09.400
hey this person might not want this how how could you what would you think would happen
00:33:14.420
like how blind does someone have to be to think you could take all of these people and you can
00:33:17.800
put them in there and the soil will change all of that that they'll suddenly understand western
00:33:21.660
values around sex and consent and all of that and just be magically imparted to them of course it
00:33:27.120
won't it couldn't possibly be soil well there was there was one case in particular in england where
00:33:32.360
the guy went to trial they had evidence against him and when he got up on the stand he said
00:33:37.420
i've never been taught this is wrong and the judge goes oh okay well we're gonna let you go
00:33:42.700
but now you know it's wrong don't do it anymore crazy all right so michael has planned a lot for
00:33:50.460
this episode um there's a lot of quotes that we want to get to and so this is what we're going to
00:33:55.360
do we're going to go to our first commercial break we're going to come back i'm going to
00:33:59.320
temper myself and give Michael the reins so that we hear a lot from him. Wes also has, he didn't
00:34:04.760
prepare for this. Michael and Wes, they do a lot of the writing for each individual episode. So
00:34:10.400
this episode is Michael's episode. But the larger topic in general, Wes has done a lot of the
00:34:15.880
reading on that. And so I want to make sure that we hear from both of them in our second segment.

1.00
00:38:38.820
and go through a couple of specific places and times
00:38:46.140
because throughout the history of the last couple decades,
00:38:58.540
of England, and some of the towns where this has been most prominently happening since mid-1990s,
00:39:08.440
okay? So, Rochdale, Rotterham, Oldham, and then, I can't read the orange, I should have used a
00:39:16.480
different color, but anyway. Petersburg? Petersburg, yep. Okay, now, Nate, show the next slide,
00:39:21.580
please. So that green band across the middle in the north, that mostly lines up with towns. The
00:39:30.140
maps are slightly different scale, but Rochdale, Rotherham, Oldham, Petersburg. Now, there's a big
00:39:37.720
green population up there, and the green is where Muslims have settled in England,
00:39:43.060
and then around London also. But what's interesting, not interesting, what's tragic,
00:39:48.100
is these cities in northern and central England
00:39:56.820
well, why isn't it happening more around London?
00:39:58.340
There's lots of Muslims settled in London.
0.98
00:40:14.320
And so they'll just go into these vacant houses
00:40:17.440
or not public ads, but they'll put the word out and Muslim men from London are driving up to these
00:40:23.800
towns. And so it's publicly somehow advertised, they're being paid. And, and there's, there's
00:40:29.840
like a whole network of it. It's well, as I'm going to share a story here in a minute, you'll
00:40:34.440
see how deep some of this network goes. Let me note too, like Rotterdam, I looked at some of
00:40:38.500
the demographics, like an 85% white, 80% Christian town. Yep. So you have a town that's, that's
00:40:48.460
All of these towns are probably small rural towns of people that go back a long time,
00:40:52.940
one of those regions where my family's from back 800 years ago, that have lived there,
00:40:57.700
loved it, raised their children, and just exported out to these wicked people.
1.00
00:41:02.660
And that's what, like, that it's a particularly Christian town.
1.00
00:41:07.360
It's not just, when you think of motives, like, why?
00:41:12.080
When you think, why do the wicked do what the wicked do?
00:41:14.120
i i refuse to believe that it's merely i think it's it's this it's not less than this but it's
00:41:19.160
more than this i i don't think it's merely sadistic um sadistic sexual pleasure right
00:41:24.440
i think it's also to demoralize uh christian westerners is to demoralize christian nations
00:41:31.540
to defeat them i was gonna say this later but it fits in now and this is the warning for if you
00:41:37.420
have kids this is just not the episode to listen to yeah you shouldn't be yeah they should have
00:41:40.760
we were clear this is your warning but um there's no such thing douglas wilson actually makes this
00:41:46.740
point as uh as egalitarian sex all sex is patriarchal because there's one party that
00:41:52.360
penetrates plants conquers and a party that receives submits and accepts the individual
00:41:58.500
sex actors there's always a there's a patriarch there's a the man the authority and then submission
00:42:05.240
sometimes obviously when that's turned up there's a man on the receiving end you get the points
00:42:11.320
So then take it out, but expand it and think, okay, so you have women, and who's coming
1.00
00:42:16.300
in and doing the conquering, the plundering, the ravishing?
1.00
00:42:21.780
That is a weapon of psychological demoralization.
0.98
00:42:25.560
The Red Army, the Bolsheviks, towards the end of World War II, they raped two million
00:42:29.800
German women on the Eastern Front as they drove towards Berlin.
0.84
00:42:33.680
It has always been a weapon against a people that you are attempting to conquer to
0.98
00:42:39.320
ravage their wives their children their daughters to to penetrate to conquer to plant to to make
0.92
00:42:47.700
them bear your sons and then parade it in front of you we conquered you we did this but you were
0.70
00:42:55.360
taught like in the public school system just like me like we were taught about the bolsheviks right
00:43:00.140
oh absolutely like i i heard very little about nazis growing up i didn't even really know about
00:43:05.040
the third reich i was never taught about that like hollywood never produces a movie you know
00:43:08.540
about nazis um but but we're thoroughly taught about the bolsheviks right right take care all
00:43:13.620
right michael um this actually it goes back to the 90s but even in the 1970s this was starting
00:43:19.520
to happen um and so there have been there are news stories that go all the way back where
00:43:23.600
vulnerable girls living in shropshire and telford um they were easy prey it's exactly what you say
00:43:29.140
west where they were small christian towns with high trust and so it was in these towns that some
00:43:34.760
of these gangs started to go in and where people weren't necessarily worried about their daughters
00:43:39.020
running down to the park, things like that. So it actually goes back to the 70s. But in the 90s,
00:43:44.480
in the 2000s, it escalated quickly. So in Rotherham, there was an inquiry, which is British
00:43:50.600
for an investigation, where they have found that more than 1,400 victims of grooming and sexual
00:43:57.500
exploitation were taken advantage of between 1997 and 2013. And guys, when we say victimization,
00:44:06.040
They were passed around multiple, you know, as bad as you can imagine.
00:44:13.140
So 1,400 of them just in Rotherham, just in Rotherham from 1997 to 2013.
00:44:20.000
Which is a town, I want to say, obviously it grew during that time, about 90 to 100,000 people.
00:44:33.160
and you would have you know i'm not going to parse all out but like that's one in three one
00:44:38.880
in five girls that would have been most certainly targeted attempted yep and many successfully
00:44:45.640
one in three or one in five there's a couple different ways you could parse it out you know
00:44:50.060
like every family if you assume equality equal point part girls and boys the size of the
00:44:54.400
population how many of them were immigrants not but i've heard ranges of one in three would have
00:44:58.760
been attempted to traffic one in five one in ten but it's an insane figure still yeah yeah can you
00:45:04.760
i just can't i can't move past like the civil fathers have a duty to those citizens it's not
00:45:13.340
it's not just some sliver of the population one in three or or the conservative number being one
00:45:19.380
in one in five like the leaders of this town and then at the national level um like to to to not
00:45:27.840
only not address the problem but to actually turn around on the native citizens that you have an
00:45:35.060
obligation to under god and to say that you're the problem by noticing um and that makes you racist
00:45:42.940
um that i mean that's insane well in in oldham there was a 22 2022 report and it found that
00:45:51.080
children in oldham were failed by the agencies that were meant to protect them so for instance
00:45:55.860
there was a 12 year old girl who was raped repeatedly by asian men and went to the police
00:46:02.300
station and to report it and what happened was she the report was taken she was escorted into
00:46:08.780
a back room the people who were running this whole thing were part of the police department
0.92
00:46:12.300
they had their way with her multiple times all night long sent her on her way in the morning
1.00
00:46:17.000
her mom her mom went to a public hearing kind of like a city council hearing and raised holy hell
0.66
00:46:24.380
about this the next week or the next day she was issued what they call in england an asbo which is
00:46:31.640
an anti-social behavior order it's like a restraining order but from your ability to
00:46:37.380
participate in public life in a particular town so the police were in on it she went to the public
00:46:43.280
forum she raised a ruckus and then the social work legal system came in and they filed the asbo
0.98
00:46:49.180
against her. And she was completely silenced from public life in that town. I mean, that's why
0.99
00:46:55.520
it's important to go through some of these details, because it's like, what is going on?
00:47:00.100
Where are the fathers? Where are they? Let me just say for a moment, it's important, I think,
00:47:05.280
for Christians, as we seek to understand this, and especially Americans, if we don't want to
00:47:09.240
see some of these things happen here, which, by the way, if you haven't registered for our
00:47:13.700
conference i strongly encourage you to do so um right response not ministries but in this case
00:47:19.180
right response conference.com right response conference.com um and this is one of the reasons
00:47:25.080
why i invited calvin robinson and you know everybody lost their mind you know all the the
00:47:30.140
usual suspects on the reform side um and i don't understand why i i asked calvin to come to
00:47:36.040
specifically talk of you know to lead an hour-long session on teaching all of us how to pray through
00:47:41.180
the rosary. No, I did not invite him to speak on justification by faith alone. We obviously
00:47:47.680
disagree on that, and the gospel matters, and our disagreements matter. I asked him to come
00:47:52.920
to speak in a political and cultural sense, specifically, on Trash World, as he, as a first
00:48:00.500
eyewitness account, has witnessed this in his native land, England, and now that he's in America,
00:48:07.380
for him to share his observations and takeaways from witnessing firsthand trash world and its
00:48:13.180
total takeover of his native land of England, and to give us whatever insights he might have
00:48:19.680
of how to stop it here in America. That's why I invited Calvin to come, because this episode
0.73
00:48:25.320
is—and I feel like I wanted to bring up the conference because this episode, I think,
00:48:29.680
is the perfect context to explain why we've invited him. And I understand that he—I've seen,
00:48:36.540
and I don't want to get into the weeds with this. I think there's fine people on both sides,
00:48:41.920
as Donald Trump would say, the Donald. Fine people on both sides. But there are other groups,
00:48:48.060
evangelical groups and ministries that have recently disinvited Calvin. And just so that
00:48:56.400
everybody knows, we are not going to be doing that. We are not going to be canceling Calvin.
00:49:00.940
I will say that I was surprised. He's Anglo-Catholic. I thought that the Anglo part was the dog wagging
00:49:11.620
the tail of the Catholic. It turns out that the Catholic side is much more significant than I
00:49:17.920
realized, kind of wagging the Anglo. And at a personal doctrinal level, if we're talking about
0.92
00:49:23.620
justification, these kinds of things, yeah, I have my strong disagreements. Calvin Robinson recently
00:49:29.620
called John Calvin a heretic, his own namesake. Yeah, exactly. Do I like that? No, I think John
0.98
00:49:39.660
Calvin is great. And so obviously I disagree, but that's not why he was invited. And so the
00:49:45.080
invitation stands. And also we're just, our ministry, we're not in the habit of canceling
00:49:49.940
people. We've received an immense amount of pressure. And my response to those who have
00:49:54.420
given us pressure is my typical response which is um respectfully uh pound sand so we were talking
00:50:01.560
about before the show but england is practically the center of christendom in the west they had
00:50:07.300
an empire that spanned the beginning of the 20th century across really the pretty much the known
00:50:11.820
world from india to africa uh our theology the puritans the westminster confession like it all
00:50:17.700
originated from england like that is the core and the heart of european protestant christianity
00:50:24.300
many ways more so than germany more than france more than some of these these other nations and
00:50:28.940
it happened there and they're much farther off much farther gone than we are so what i want to
00:50:34.860
say with this so that's why you know that's why we invited calvin in this episode i think is you know
00:50:38.940
case in point um but but furthermore what i wanted to say for the english people for you know any of
00:50:44.060
our listeners who are native to england um i remember when i was first you know looking into
00:50:49.980
to some of these things, and looking at, as an American, looking at my own country, but then
00:50:54.180
also exploring, you know, Muslim takeover of England and France and other places. In the
0.90
00:50:59.720
European West, I remember my first inclination was, well, this is, this is kind of, like, my
00:51:06.920
position was kind of a, I think a, it lacked, I think, the appropriate degree of sympathy. It was
00:51:15.220
kind of this is what you get uh you turned your back on christ um and that's true like england
00:51:20.680
has it's an apostate uh nation it was a christian nation it's very much an apostasy you can argue
00:51:26.180
the same for america but just even at a greater degree in the case of england and and other
00:51:30.620
european nations as well so that's true but i think it matters um in terms of um recognizing
00:51:37.400
who is chiefly responsible for committing this apostasy even when you look at israel it's not
00:51:44.380
like anybody's off the hook moral agency exists at an individual personal level um everybody when
00:51:50.420
you stand before christ on the final day you can't say you know well my i had a bad you know my dad
00:51:54.960
was an alcoholic or uh i wasn't raised in church or you know my governor you know was uh was a
00:52:00.220
libtard you know or what like no it's it did you were you obedient to the gospel of jesus christ
0.89
00:52:05.680
or not did you have faith in jesus and obedience as an evidence of that faith or not um so that's
00:52:12.480
in terms of salvation, it's very much an individual basis. But when you talk about
00:52:17.540
temporal things at a national level, part of what makes this so tragic, and I think that we need to
00:52:24.300
understand, is, you know, I've heard it said, in this house, we believe in elite theory. And that
00:52:30.620
was one of the major developments, I think, for myself in terms of political philosophy and also
00:52:35.100
how it blends into my theological and doctrinal convictions over the last couple years. That's
00:52:42.140
a more recent develop development for me uh but my point is as it pertains to this issue in england
00:52:47.400
um the english people never voted for this right yeah this is not you know the english citizens
00:52:53.400
that they all got together um with their sacred democracy and said you know what uh we hate
00:52:59.440
christianity we hate christ we hate our heritage we hate our our our native um uh fellow neighbors
0.93
00:53:07.680
and citizens and we want to give our country over to islam and uh and we put it on a ballot
0.97
00:53:14.880
and we uh voted um and and there was a majority vote um for that decision no this is um this is
00:53:22.800
the leaders of england the civil rulers of england against the sentiment and and the the wishes and
00:53:30.420
the will of the people of england saying no we're doing this to you whether you like it or not and
00:53:39.760
And when I think of America and I think of, like, are there a bunch of Americans who don't
0.90
00:53:43.620
go to church anymore and who live like reprobates and who are degenerate?
0.92
00:53:47.920
Will they be responsible as it pertains to the salvific, eternal level, as individuals
00:53:57.080
But when you look at the progression of nations that become Christian or move away from Christianity
0.50
00:54:05.440
and apostatize, you look at Israel. Each and every individual Israelite ultimately is responsible
1.00
00:54:11.420
for their standing before God. But the nation as a whole, the Bible puts the lion's share of the
0.53
00:54:17.820
weight on kings. If there was a bad king in Israel, things were bad. And the people, their hearts
00:54:22.500
would turn from Christ. If there was a good king in Israel, the people would follow suit. So if you
00:54:27.920
got Josiah and he's tearing down all the high places, then the people, it may be by force at
00:54:34.760
first, but the people eventually, the law is a tutor, and it then shapes the hearts of the people,
00:54:41.000
and the law of God, as it's exacted and executed in a public fashion in the legal system of the
00:54:47.600
people, begins to tutor and shape the hearts, and it becomes, the law becomes the more conducive
00:54:52.220
backdrop. The law doesn't save, but it provides the more conducive backdrop for the gospel and
00:54:57.260
understanding the holy God and sinful man and the need for Christ, and more people, it provides a
00:55:03.900
more conducive environment for salvation. And so whether it's Israel with a good king,
00:55:08.100
or whether it's England, or whether it's America, it's not like a bunch of 1950s
00:55:11.740
housewives in America, you know, we're watching their black and white television sets and saying,
00:55:16.720
we love Leave it to Beaver. But what we just, I feel like what the show is missing is just a
00:55:22.260
little bit more butt sex. And if we could get that, and then Hollywood said, well, you know,
0.99
00:55:26.060
we're a Christian outfit here in Hollywood, and we really don't like it, but you know,
00:55:30.820
the bottom line needs to go up, and so I guess, you know, we'll appease our constituents, you know,
00:55:34.720
and for the sake of the market, you know, I guess we'll give the people what they want. No,
00:55:38.320
that's not what happened. In America, yeah, we're filled with a bunch of degenerates,
0.99
00:55:42.400
but it was designed. It was designed by leaders. It was planned. It wasn't just that the population
0.97
00:55:49.660
with our sacred democracy voted for apostasy towards Christ. No, leaders made that decision
00:55:55.240
for their various motives and incentives and reasons,
00:56:05.640
They did it through all these different things,
00:56:19.580
My heart, what I'm saying is my heart goes out
1.00
00:56:24.200
but the citizens of England who never voted for this, never wished this upon themselves,
00:56:29.540
but were actually betrayed by their civil fathers who, under God, had an obligation to their native
00:56:36.540
people. And all in the name, I'm sure there were kickbacks and financial incentives and all these
00:56:44.120
different things for the leaders at the top, but if nothing else, if you think of motives,
00:56:49.040
if nothing else they did it simply to be viewed as politically correct yep they sold out their
00:56:55.900
own native people the the daughters of england were given over to foreigners who worship demonic
00:57:03.320
gods um by an elite class at the top and what did they get um simply uh the privilege of not
0.79
00:57:11.700
being called racist right it's remarkable because even even some of the the biological fathers like
00:57:20.420
and they can't get an audience with the police.
00:57:22.940
They can't get an audience with the civil magistrate.
00:57:27.900
where some of them have tracked down their daughters
00:57:39.600
and those men, those fathers have been arrested
00:57:51.220
and things that will cast aspersion on minorities
00:58:13.180
And she said that the first time she went on a show
00:58:17.240
and talked about this, she had two policemen come by
00:58:26.200
And they were there to ask her why she had the audacity
00:58:43.200
and it beggars the imagination of how it could get this far.
00:59:08.580
One, and I don't really want this to be the episode.
00:59:12.880
But there is an argument to be made, and Wes, you made it earlier, that the Muslim religion, in a lot of ways, especially when dealing with quote-unquote conquered nations and sinful, wicked, pagan nations in their mind, the Quran offers a lot of leeway for sexual degeneracy and sexual violence.
0.89
00:59:35.640
I even saw today on Twitter someone who was trying to defend what's going on saying,
0.83
00:59:39.660
well, Muhammad said that the Quran only applies to people in civilized societies.
00:59:46.240
It doesn't apply, we don't have to treat other nations the way we would treat our obedient, godly Muslim societies.
00:59:54.900
And so there is a sense where when you're out among the sinners and the pagans from their perspective,
01:00:01.960
there is a lot of toleration for this sort of violence.
0.97
01:00:04.980
what's that the infidel the infidel yep and the quran even says you know if you're out among the
0.99
01:00:09.840
infidel and a woman doesn't cover herself like all the way to her toes she actually is inviting
0.95
01:00:16.280
sexual aggression towards her um and so i'm you know i'm certainly we could learn some things
0.91
01:00:22.020
about modesty from um from some of the the muslim countries but the point is when when a muslim is
0.85
01:00:28.740
out among the infidel, any sort of not being covered head to toe is an invitation and a
0.99
01:00:35.560
permission to engage in this sort of sexual violence and deviancy. And so there can be a
1.00
01:00:42.860
lot that's said, but I think that at the bottom, we have to understand this is not just people
01:00:49.100
coming into our country who see the same world as us, but they can't just quite get a job.
0.80
01:00:54.000
They couldn't quite connect. And so they're kind of social rejects. And so they're acting out
0.97
01:00:58.240
of some sort of like, oh, I just am not fitting in.
01:01:04.760
utterly different worldviews that are colliding.
0.97
01:01:07.240
And frankly, the Christian one is the one that's weak.
0.98
01:01:11.660
No, it's the one that's bending over and taking it, right?
1.00
01:01:22.580
the norms and the things that are acceptable and tolerable,
01:01:27.080
they don't just get to you don't just get to put them in the same room together the same country
01:01:31.700
together and expect that there's going to be peace and harmony and that is such a a lie and i don't
01:01:37.280
know why it's taken western society so long to england's not waking up i saw someone one of the
01:01:43.220
very first comments who he said i live in england just today there was a resolution in the parliament
01:01:48.340
it failed there's going to be no public inquiry into the things that are going on with the asian
01:01:53.740
grooming gangs like right i saw another mp she said something to the equivalent of yes there's
01:01:58.980
terrible things going on but we can't begin to say that one group is more likely than the other
01:02:03.900
yes you can ongoing now still to this point all of the data there in front of you
01:02:08.200
one weird trick you just close your eyes and pretend not to say it part of it is it this is
01:02:13.220
how systemic it is in england the police are not allowed to write in reports physical descriptors
01:02:21.760
of assailants and so actually it might be true that when you look at the data you can't make
01:02:29.140
that determination like they're not allowed to say pakistani man i had one one study that i read
01:02:35.880
the guy went through he said it's literally impossible unless you go by the names and you
01:02:40.180
assume that if they have a muslim name that they're muslim or from pakistan or something like
01:02:43.900
that but he said like in in some ways it actually is true that they can't make these determinations
01:02:49.300
because they're not allowed to report on people's ethnicity or race or country of origin or things
01:02:54.440
like that. It cannot be factored in because it's not allowed to be factored in. And the point is
01:02:59.760
that didn't just happen in the last five years. So it wasn't like in 2017, a flurry of bills changed
01:03:04.000
all these reporting standards. And now like for the last five years, we can't do anything. This
01:03:07.880
has been decades and decades and decades. And I think of Reagan here in the seventies, the United
01:03:11.800
States, just on immigration, opening the floodgates, the civil rights act and the heart seller
01:03:17.320
immigration act we're talking decades of this going on and now beginning to realize like oh we
01:03:22.680
let all these people in and this is not working they are not compatible the the assaults the
01:03:28.520
violence all of this they're going through the roof and uh you can have buyer's remorse but uh
01:03:34.200
i'm pretty sure the third world is gonna say no take backs on this one yeah i heard a doctor um
01:03:39.020
a couple weeks ago talking about um neurological diseases alzheimer's parkinson's things like
01:03:44.880
things like that. And he said, the sad thing is by the time that someone starts exhibiting signs
01:03:50.360
or symptoms of Parkinson's or Alzheimer's, that means that 20 years ago, the damage actually
01:03:55.960
started happening, right? It's not like you can just take something now that you're having
01:03:59.920
symptoms and it's going to fix it. That was because 20 years ago, things started to go wrong
01:04:04.900
and your body fought against it for a long time. And now it's finally succumbing. And in some ways,
01:04:09.140
that's exactly what you're saying, Wes, multiculturalism, it started a long time ago.
01:04:15.980
There was an insightful quote about multiculturalism.
01:04:20.060
This won't be new, but he put it in a good way.
01:04:25.140
So I thought there's hope some people in England are writing and thinking in this way.
01:04:34.200
He says, I have recently written in more depth about multiculturalism and how it is based
01:04:40.380
In the worst examples of the doctrine of multiculturalism being applied, those convicted of serious crimes are excused because of their culture.
01:04:49.860
In one case in 2013, a Muslim man in Nottingham who raped an underage girl was spared a prison term after the judge heard that the man had been taught,
0.97
01:04:58.940
I mentioned this earlier, in an Islamic faith school that women are worthless.
0.99
01:05:03.340
Here, Islamic values are being used by a judge,
1.00
01:05:06.460
an English judge, to no prison sentence, child rape.
0.98
01:05:15.000
And so just the idea that multiculturalism
0.56
01:05:25.840
And this is not gonna go away overnight in England.
01:05:28.980
But my point with the elite theory is just to say
01:05:58.980
They're not going to be on the unemployment line.
01:06:03.960
They're not going to be replaced economically with their job.
01:06:08.020
They're not going to be looted or stolen from or accosted.
01:06:12.820
For the most part, they're immune to these things because they live in lives of certain privileges and luxuries.
01:06:26.820
And there's reasons to do it for political correctness, for the fear of man, the praise of man to be viewed as not being racist, to be viewed as virtue signaling.
01:06:37.640
And there's also economic incentives that you can import cheap labor so that, yeah, well, my own citizenry, my own people can't afford a job anymore.
01:06:50.340
but I'm able to lower the bottom line, you know, and increase profit margins because
0.96
01:06:57.080
this person from India will work for, you know, half of the salary that, you know, an American
0.99
01:07:02.140
would expect to work for. And then how do you, how do you get something like that? You know,
0.70
01:07:06.240
how do you push that across the finish line? You know, well, you use language like this,
01:07:10.680
you say, well, the problem is that Americans, you know, they just watch too much TV and they're
01:07:14.400
lazy, right? And, you know, and they, they played, you know, they played too much sports ball,
01:07:19.380
You know, instead of taking violin lessons, you know, and they opted out of trigonometry, you know, and all these things.
0.85
01:07:27.260
And so, you know, it's the American people, they're lazy.
0.65
01:07:29.240
And so, we're not doing this to get cheap labor.
0.97
01:07:31.240
We're not doing this because, you know, somebody from India will work for less money.
01:07:34.480
We're doing it because, you know, the next, you know, Einstein we think is in India, you know, and we just don't have Einstein material here in America.
0.92
01:07:44.760
And so we have to outsource, not for cheap labor, but for excellence, you know, to find
01:07:49.260
our next virtuoso, to find our next savant, to find our next genius.
01:07:56.380
We can't get to Mars, you know, unless we have all the Hindus, because if there's anything
1.00
01:08:02.460
that India is known for, it's building rockets, you know, and America, it's not like America's,
1.00
01:08:07.660
you know, one of the only countries that's ever been to the moon.
01:08:09.740
You know, we can't, you know, we can't expect that.
01:08:12.240
So you can't expect American greatness, because Americans are just too lazy when it comes to academics. And so we have to import, you know, people from around the world who have accomplished, you know, very little, but we'll look past that, you know, it's because of some other exterior, you know, explanatory power, you know, but really, they're great, they're hardworking, they have, you know, innovation and all these things.
01:08:36.360
And so, you know, so my point is you can, you can, there's a lot of different narratives. And the reason why I use that example is because, yes, I'm talking about Elon Musk and yes, I'm talking about Vivek. And, and the reason why is because I want to show that even among conservatives, you know, alleged, you know, conservatives, it's, it's still, they still haven't broken out of this mindset of multiculturalism.
01:09:01.400
they still haven't broken out of this idea of GDP must go up, you know, bottom line must go down,
01:09:06.360
even if it means selling out the American people. And even with that, there's, yes,
01:09:10.640
there's a worldview, there's an ideology, religion plays a factor. Elon Musk is not a
01:09:16.020
Christian, Vivek is not a Christian. So there's the religious factor, that's paramount, the
0.98
01:09:20.840
spiritual implications. But there is something to be said for race. Vivek is Indian. And all of a
01:09:30.700
sudden, you know, he's like diehard conservative and runs for president of the United States. And
01:09:35.460
I, we did an episode where I said, he will not have my vote. He won't have my vote for the same
01:09:42.400
reason, well, not exactly the same, but a similar reason for why Kamala won't have it. One, first
01:09:48.200
and foremost, is policy, godless policies that are in direct opposition to the Bible, to the
01:09:54.120
word of God. But secondly, we've never had a woman president. And as far as it depends on me and
0.92
01:10:00.560
whatever little bit of power that I have, by God's grace, we never will, because it's not fitting for
1.00
01:10:06.460
a woman to be president of the United States. Likewise, not exactly the same, but in a similar
1.00
01:10:11.440
conception, we've never had an Indian president. And by God's grace, as far as it depends on me,
01:10:18.780
we never will, because this is not India. This is America. And that doesn't mean that I hate Vivek.
01:10:26.580
i i like vivek and and i hope that he can serve our country well in some capacity um but but at
01:10:33.680
the end of the day uh you you can't people are innately bound they have they have a an innate
01:10:40.900
obligation to their people um uh elon musk same same he's white but he's a foreigner he's a
01:10:49.480
foreigner yeah he's a south african foreigner immigrant um and so it turns out at the end of
01:10:54.880
the day that, you know, Elon Musk, he said several times, like, we need to stop, you know,
01:10:59.040
illegal immigration, but we need even more legal immigration. Elon Musk is fine if America in 50
01:11:07.000
years is no longer heritage America. He's fine if everybody's replaced. As long as he can build
01:11:14.960
his robots, you know, and build his rockets, he doesn't care because America is not actually his
01:11:22.240
team. He uses that analogy of nations as other sports teams, and you can just do trades and
01:11:27.860
transfers all day long. And as long as you win the Super Bowl, then that's America first. America
01:11:32.300
first just means the American sports team wins the championship. Well, one, that's a completely
01:11:37.940
flawed way of thinking. But number two, he doesn't care as long as he wins, as long as America wins
01:11:45.300
according to his definition of winning. He's totally fine if Americans, he's fine if America
01:11:50.960
wins, even if it means Americans lose. And why? Because he's not truly an American. Not in the
01:11:57.900
true sense. In biblical terms, this takes generations. The general equity of the Old
01:12:03.240
Testament, even in Israel, you weren't fully, you didn't have all the rights and privileges,
01:12:07.740
especially as it pertained to worship in the temple and these kinds of things,
01:12:10.860
until the third generation. And for some nations, because of atrocities that that nation had
01:12:16.420
historically committed against the people of Israel and ultimately against their God, Yahweh,
01:12:20.520
there are some nations that would not have full rights and privileges as an israelite citizen
01:12:27.140
until the 10th generation and i believe as a general equity theonomist guy i believe that
01:12:32.400
that's perfectly applicable today to be able to say um uh you you will not be a full citizen you
01:12:38.660
can come here you can work here you can have certain visas and these kinds of and even that
01:12:42.180
has to be drastically mitigated but you can do that but it won't be until the third generation
01:12:46.500
your grandchildren. If you're coming from England, if you're coming from France, if you're coming
01:12:52.260
from Canada, it won't be until the third generation that you'll be full citizens. If you're coming
0.97
01:12:57.840
from Somalia, we're going to take, we will take five, not thousand, not million, five Somalians
1.00
01:13:06.980
in the year of our Lord, 2025. And if you do well in your law-abiding citizens, but not actually
0.95
01:13:15.060
citizens, but residents, then the 10th generation. You're a great, great, great, great, because
01:13:20.640
Somalia is not compatible with America. And over time, generationally, eventually it could be.
1.00
01:13:28.540
Assimilation, I believe, is possible. But it takes time. This idea that people can just touch the
01:13:34.680
magic soil of America and say the magical incantation, you know, and just, you know,
01:13:40.660
have their first slice of apple pie and watch their first sports ball game, you know, the Super
01:13:46.200
Bowl on their big screen TV, you know, in Texas, and all of a sudden they're American. It doesn't
0.54
01:13:52.500
work like that. And here's the funny thing about it. I remember Stephen Wolfe talking about this
01:13:56.660
on a panel that both of us were at on Christian nationalism. But he said, you know, when people
01:14:02.300
were levying the accusations against Wolfe of being racist, one of his defenses is he said,
01:14:07.920
well here's here's the irony i don't believe in the superman um the white superman that um
01:14:15.720
i don't believe that um that the white man can fix all the world's problems um and because i
01:14:22.580
don't believe that i don't believe that all the world needs to come and live among the white man
01:14:27.680
in order you know i don't think that the white man needs to export um and and that every single
01:14:34.100
nation on earth needs to be an American colony or some kind of European colony. And on the flip
01:14:38.720
side, I also don't believe that by importing in all the Haitians and by them being able to rub
01:14:44.620
shoulders with the white man that they'll magically become different people. He says, I reject the
01:14:51.200
Superman mentality as it pertains to your Anglo-Saxon or your WASP or whatever. He said,
01:14:59.500
the conception, Stephen Wolf's conception of Christian nationalism is not that America
01:15:05.360
is a Christian nation and everybody needs to be here, or we need to export America everywhere
01:15:11.620
else. No, the conception of Christian nationalism is diametrically opposed to Christian globalism.
01:15:18.160
It's each individual nation needs to lay hold of Christ by grace through faith in Christ,
01:15:24.080
And then that nation needs to become, on its own terms with its own history, its own heritage,
01:15:29.820
its own customs, its own culture, needs to become Christian.
0.98
01:15:33.000
Now, obviously, a pagan nation is going to have to uproot some of their culture and customs
0.95
01:15:37.580
and these kinds of rituals, but some of it will be uprooted, removed.
0.98
01:15:45.400
That Haiti, Christianized, will look different than America, Christianized.
0.97
01:15:50.060
and both over time, not 15 minutes, but centuries and remaining in their respective parts of the
0.75
01:15:56.120
world that God has assigned them by providence, Acts chapter 17, God set the boundaries of nations
01:16:01.040
and their timelines and these kinds of things, over time, both can be equally Christian. And
01:16:06.320
I believe that both can be relatively equally, over time, prosperous. But when I say over time,
01:16:13.360
I'm not talking about 15 minutes or 15 years or 50 years. I'm talking about centuries. That's the
01:16:19.680
conception of Christian nationalism. That's what we're advocating for. That's the way God made the
01:16:24.340
world. And one of the things that I've learned in life is it's not beneficial to go against the
01:16:31.040
grain if the grain, in this case, that you're talking about is the sovereign providential plan
01:16:35.880
of God. God made the world. It's his world. We function inside of it according to his rules.
01:16:41.640
And globalism goes against the rules. It goes against God's rules for the world that he's made.
01:16:47.860
multiculturalism, I believe, goes against the rules. Yes, multicultural, if you're looking at
01:16:54.260
different cultures in different nations spread across the world, but multiculturalism in each
01:16:59.720
nation is actually, here's the irony, it literally eradicates the revelation possibility of every
01:17:06.400
tribe, tongue, and nation. Every nation, at that point, becomes steamrolled into a one-size-fits-all,
01:17:13.020
this factory setting where Japan and America and Somalia and Canada and everywhere else,
01:17:21.780
the Sudan, they all actually end up being this equal egalitarian blend of every nationality
01:17:30.300
that intermarries, and over the course of centuries, every nation is the same. They're
01:17:34.520
all Christian, great, we like that, but they're also, it's not Christian America and Christian
0.95
01:17:39.340
Somalia. It's just Christian globalism everywhere. And if you do that, it doesn't even make sense of
01:17:45.660
Scripture. The idea of on that final day in eternity that we would be worshiping before
01:17:51.500
the throne of God, not with any animus, and we shouldn't have animus now, but not any sinful
01:17:57.340
animus, unjustifiable animus, but on that final day that we'd be worshiping before the Lamb,
01:18:03.460
and that that sea of saints would be comprised of every tribe, tongue, and nation, what that
01:18:10.140
implies, what it asserts, is that God, in his providence and sovereignty, is going to maintain
01:18:17.540
some distinction between the nations from now until the final return of Christ. And for us to
01:18:25.140
work against that is actually to work against the ultimate eschatological plan of God, in a sense.
0.94
01:18:34.520
You know who red-pilled me on that years ago?
0.67
01:18:36.700
Far-right extremist John Piper on multiculturalism.
01:18:39.560
He said, look, this actually means that there are distinct peoples, nations, tribes, and tongues.
01:18:44.220
So they can't all just be thrown in the blender and mixed together.
01:18:47.040
That was, I think, 10 years ago I read that and I was like, oh yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
01:18:53.320
And then real quick before we do, though, Michael, set out the path for us for this final.
01:19:00.160
What we're going to do is I'm going to read just kind of a smattering of quotes that illustrate how scared people in England are of being called racist.
01:19:09.600
And then I want us to just maybe talk briefly about why or just drive the point home.
01:19:14.480
This is why we make such a big deal about some of these things here, because we are a couple steps behind them.
01:19:20.520
But still, that has been the cudgel that has been used to subdue the nation of England.
01:19:26.640
You speak out about this, and you will be called racist.
01:19:30.160
And then, I don't know, we can choose whether we kind of wrap things up or depending on how comments are or any other points you guys wanted to make just to apply this generally to Christian, Christian thought, the U.S., things like that.
01:19:42.800
Great. Just one more plug, because on Friday, two days from now, 48 hours, give or take,
01:19:49.420
give in this case, but 8 p.m. Central Time on Friday, we are launching part one of a nine-part
01:19:56.720
series on all things related to Judaism and Israel. And that's with me and Pastor Andrew
01:20:02.860
Isker, nine-part series. And you can watch it drip out to the public, one episode on Fridays
01:20:07.680
at 8 p.m., you know, one per week over the course of whatever that is, two and a half months,
01:20:12.040
nine weeks. But all that is available right now. If you want to join us as a member on Patreon,
01:20:18.800
you go to patreon.com forward slash right response ministries, patreon.com forward slash
01:20:24.460
right response ministries. And in addition, right now you can get the whole series with Isker.
01:20:29.720
But on Friday, you'll also, and this will not be dripping out to the public for
01:20:33.460
multiple months. So you would have to wait months if you're just going to follow on YouTube and
01:20:38.140
X and whatever. But on Friday, right now you can get all nine parts on the series on Israel with
01:20:44.800
me and Isker. But on Friday, just 48 hours from now, you'll also be able to get all 10 parts of
01:20:51.420
a series addressing these kinds of things, like multiculturalism, like racism and what that
01:20:59.320
actually means and where that word was coined and these kinds of things. And more importantly,
01:21:04.780
the macro picture of Christian nationalism, the full 10-part series with myself and Dr. Stephen
01:21:11.240
Wolfe will also be available on Friday, this Friday, exclusively for our Patreon members. So
01:21:19.020
go to, again, patreon.com forward slash Right Response Ministries, and you can get a nine-part
01:21:24.300
series with Isker ad-free, and two days from now, a 10-part series with myself and Dr. Stephen Wolfe
01:21:31.140
on Christian nationalism. So nine parts on Israel, 10 parts on Christian nationalism,
01:21:35.360
a fantastic deal. Also, I want to start building up towards this because it's happening in April,
01:21:40.680
so we only have three months. But also for those of you who are, you know, you live abroad,
01:21:45.540
you're somewhere else, but who want to be able to participate and get the content for our
01:21:51.120
conference, if you join as one of our gold members on Patreon, you will be able to live stream as
01:21:58.640
it's actually happening in real time. Livestream every single session and every panel from our
01:22:04.460
conference. The conference is titled Christ is King. Subtitle is how to defeat trash world. It's
01:22:10.160
happening April 3rd, 4th, and 5th. That's a Thursday through a Saturday. We're just three
01:22:14.960
months away. And so I already want to start plugging that. Not only will you get the Israel
01:22:19.940
series with Isker, the Christian nationalism series with Wolf, but you also get the ability
01:22:25.500
to live stream our conference, April 3rd, 4th, and 5th, again, by simply becoming a Patreon member.
01:22:31.460
And then for those of you who actually can't attend in person, these are the kinds of things
01:22:35.120
that we're going to be addressing at this conference. When we talk about defeating
01:22:38.020
Trash World, there will be sessions that address the absolute vital need, the irreplaceable need
01:22:47.220
of preaching the gospel. Yeah, you're not going to defeat Trash World without the gospel.
01:22:54.060
yes and amen um but you're also not going to defeat trash world um by doing a jesus juke
01:23:00.540
and only preaching the gospel if an intruder shows up at my house i don't preach the gospel
0.98
01:23:06.640
to him i grab a gun and i shoot him in the chest lord willing twice um just to make sure um the
0.94
01:23:16.340
gospel uh when my car breaks down i don't go in the garage and preach the gospel to my car
0.98
01:23:21.980
And so, yeah, we are going to—and I know that's foreign.
01:23:25.540
Some of you guys are having a really hard time with this, because you're a part of the Reformed tribe, which we are as well.
01:23:34.200
That is our heritage, and that is our doctrinal allegiance, is the Reformed Christian faith.
1.00
01:23:41.260
But I will admit that one of the weaknesses of our tribe is pietism.
0.98
01:24:05.620
We're going to do a whole debate on natural law
01:24:15.740
We're going to talk about political philosophy.
01:24:19.020
We're going to talk about a lot of things at this conference.
01:24:23.220
And that's really, really hard for Reformed folks to grapple with.
01:24:29.400
Because they're like, you're holding a conference and it's not on the five solas?
0.90
01:24:34.980
You're telling me you're doing a conference and it's not on the sovereignty of God?
01:24:38.640
Wait, you're holding a conference and it's not the cessationism conference for the 15th time?
01:24:43.800
does not compute, we don't understand. And I get it. I get it. Because for modern Reformed folks,
01:24:53.560
talking about something other than the five solas, or the tulip, or cessationism, seems foreign.
01:25:02.060
But our Reformed tradition, right? Modern Reformed guys, we adopted the soteriology of John Calvin.
01:25:09.300
Some of the Reformed guys were real bold and even adopted some of the covenant theology
01:25:20.300
A little bit too bold for my taste as a Reformed Baptist, but they did.
0.95
01:25:25.960
But what we want to do is we actually, we're not graduating from the Reformed tradition.
0.94
01:25:31.380
We just want to embrace the whole Reformed tradition.
01:25:37.580
taffman was a political figurehead in geneva this is another part of the reformed tradition
01:25:42.920
and we want to talk about those things as well and the reformers guess what i know this one's
01:25:48.640
real crazy but um they quoted aristotle a lot oh calm down joel and and even they even quoted that
01:25:57.580
that notorious catholic aquinas right that's even worse than aristotle that's pagan plus catholic
01:26:03.220
you know um they didn't quote him on on justification but they did quote him on some
01:26:10.380
political philosophy on um some epistemology on um different things like that and so this is going
01:26:16.720
to be a full orbed um how do you how do you defeat trash world well here's this the short answer
01:26:22.480
um not easily that's how that's true not easily not a one-size-fits-all um it's it's uh not with
01:26:30.720
ideology, not with oversimplifications. How do you defeat trash world? Well, you have to start
01:26:38.740
thinking in multiple categories. You have to apply the Bible to every single realm of life.
01:26:45.540
You have to embrace the great Western tradition. It's a tall order, in other words. And that's why
01:26:53.740
I've invited guys above my pay grade who have expertise in areas beyond my expertise to speak
01:27:02.400
about things. Because if it's just on the gospel, then you know what? We'll have eight sessions and
01:27:07.540
I'll do all of them. I know how to preach the gospel, but it's not just going to be the gospel.
01:27:14.140
Nothing less than the gospel, but it will be more than the gospel. And this is the kind of
01:27:19.920
conference, I think, has been missing for 50 years in reform circles. And so, yeah, I'm a little bit
01:27:26.700
biased because I'm hosting the conference, but I also think that, you know, we're doing it for a
01:27:30.900
reason. We think it's needed. And so, yes, I am biased, but I think you should go right now and
01:27:37.140
stop waiting, but go to rightresponseconference.com and register. Go to rightresponseconference.com
01:27:43.660
and register. And if you can't afford it, email me at joel at rightresponseministries.com,
01:27:49.920
joel at rightresponseministries.com. We will find a way to help you get there. I'm talking,
01:27:56.600
like, I'll just tell you, frankly, to the public right now, we'll cut half of the price off.
01:28:02.740
I'll cut more than half of the price off if it's a good cause and you can't afford it.
01:28:07.380
We want it to be full, right? We went, right? We sent out the messengers.
01:28:13.660
The king has sent out the messengers to the well-to-do and the pristine among the reformed tribes, and they rejected us.
01:28:23.140
And so now I will go to the highways and the byways so that the banquet will be full.
01:28:27.980
The banquet will be full, and if that means that I'm giving 75% off discounts to people who actually care and want to be there
1.00
01:28:34.940
and don't want to see our country overwhelmed by Muslims,
0.99
01:28:38.280
that actually want to see a Christian heritage maintained and preserved throughout the ages for
01:28:43.940
our children's children, then yeah, we will find a way to help you get there. So go to

01:29:35.140

01:30:29.020
discovery call now. The danger of centralized power is often represented by the word king.
01:30:35.360
As Americans, we hate the word king. Civilian ownership of body armor is about helping people
01:30:42.500
to have increased power to resist tyrants and criminals. And so Armored Republic is about
01:30:49.460
helping you to preserve your God-given rights to the honor of the Lord Jesus Christ because he is
01:30:54.980
the king of kings, and he governs kings and he will judge them. This is armored
01:31:00.500
republic, and in a republic there is no king but Christ. We are free craftsmen,
01:31:06.920
and we are honored to be your armor spread of choice.
01:31:12.900
real quick before i turn to michael i want to address this comment in the chat um because
01:31:29.420
my heart goes out to you and there are many people in the same similar situation as you
01:31:35.140
i have people in our church that fit this description and um and i want you to know that
01:31:40.860
I love you. I am glad you're here. And I want to deal with our listeners, our followers,
01:31:47.880
with honesty and integrity. I feel like a lot of pastors will just gloss over things.
01:31:55.780
And so I want to deal with this honestly. So Ninja5150 says this,
01:32:01.520
Joel, I know I'm probably the exception, but I'm a first-generation immigrant from Mexico,
01:32:06.780
and I am as patriotic as they come. My two sons born in the USA served our country honorably
01:32:14.460
and we love the USA. So Ninja5150, first, I'm assuming you're listening to this because you're
01:32:21.440
a Christian. So first, you're my brother in Christ. I love you immensely. Number two,
01:32:26.880
from the little bit that I can tell from this comment, you're the type of person
01:32:29.360
that I can genuinely say from the bottom of my heart, I'm glad you're here. I'm grateful for
01:32:34.320
your sons and their service. And so here's my position. If I had my way, you would be here,
01:32:42.360
but you would not be a citizen. Your sons would not be citizens. Your grandchildren would.
01:32:49.060
And you would be treated fairly as, just like the general equity, the application of the civil codes
01:32:55.700
to Israel, the sojourner should not be oppressed or extorted or taken advantage of. You'd be
01:33:01.940
treated fairly. You would be able to have fair wages. There would be less people that are able
01:33:09.040
to fit into this category, less legal immigration on the whole, year by year, substantially less.
01:33:16.500
But people like you, Ninja5150, there would be cases exactly like you, and you would always be
01:33:24.780
my brother in Christ, whether you immigrated here or not, simply by our union with Christ,
01:33:29.320
by the Spirit and through faith. You furthermore would be not my fellow citizen, but in a looser
0.66
01:33:36.360
sense, a fellow countryman who lives here. You would be my neighbor and my particular neighbor
01:33:43.920
in a geographic, literal sense, living in my country. I would care for you, your wife, your
01:33:49.160
children, your grandchildren, and want to see your best. And yet there would still be multiple
01:33:55.100
categories and not just a one-size-fits-all, you would be a part of our country, but you would be
01:34:01.600
a sojourner, but a sojourner who, like Ruth, wants to bind herself to Israel. Your God will be my God,
01:34:08.540
your people will be my people, and your grandchildren would eventually be citizens and
01:34:14.160
voting in our national elections and all these kinds of things. You yourself would not be able
01:34:19.300
to achieve in your lifetime, for yourself personally, that level of assimilation, but you
01:34:24.820
would be loved. You would be appreciated. There would be no animosity towards you. You would be
01:34:29.780
treated with fairness. And you and other Christians like you who immigrated, it would be less amount
1.00
01:34:35.720
for sure. For sure. Millions have to go back. They have to go back. But some would be permitted to
1.00
01:34:42.880
come, and we would be grateful that you were here, and you would be loved. That's my position.
01:34:48.900
I currently pastor a church where we have two families that are from Canada. The same would
01:34:53.840
apply for them. And they know this, and they've heard my preaching as it's come up in sermons,
01:35:00.320
because we preach all the way through the book of Ezra and the book of Joshua, and these kinds
01:35:03.660
of topics come up. And they know my position. They listen to the podcast. They know that they
01:35:07.660
are, first and foremost, my brothers and sisters in Christ and deeply loved. Secondly, they're also
01:35:13.620
my neighbors at a national level, my national neighbors, because they live here. They are
01:35:18.380
residents of these United States of America. I care for their well-being. I care for their
01:35:24.060
marriage, their children, all these things at a pastoral level first, spiritually, but then at a
01:35:28.260
national level because they are fellow residents. But they know my position, and they agree with it.
01:35:33.900
That's the thing. They agree with it. They get it. They get that nations matter. My position is that
01:35:39.040
they would not be able to be full citizens and would not be able to vote in our elections,
01:35:44.140
but that their grandchildren would, and that it would take time to fully assimilate. In the
01:35:50.060
meantime, though, they would be loved, they would be cherished, they are loved, they are cherished
01:35:54.600
first at a spiritual level as brothers and sisters in Christ, secondly at a national level as
01:35:59.760
residents, fellow residents, but not yet citizens. Now, I'm not king of America in God's providence
01:36:06.400
in his infinite wisdom. He's seen that that not be the case. I'm sure he made the right call,
01:36:10.600
and so i don't make the rules so um because that's not currently the law in america i advocate that
01:36:16.720
they pursue citizenship right they that they actually do attain citizenship because that's
01:36:20.760
the law of the land and i'd much rather them be citizens than a bunch of other people who don't
01:36:25.480
love jesus don't love america you know and are just trying to exploit it for um the you know as
01:36:30.600
an economic zone um and so uh so to those families in our church um uh this this general equity of
01:36:37.660
the old testament and the third generation that's not the law of the land so pursue citizenship
01:36:41.420
and um and i am praying that you get it i'm praying that you get it and for ninja 5150
01:36:46.860
um i assume that you're probably a citizen by this point um praise god uh but in terms of moving
01:36:53.540
forward there's always going to be a million exceptions and that's part of the problem with
01:37:00.400
with western civilization is every time we talk about a law we talk about a principle
01:37:09.240
immediately what's talked about what gets the spotlight in that conversation and ultimately
01:37:15.940
becomes the case study that sets the law and the procedures is always the exception that the
01:37:22.140
footnote always is elevated to the headline and then the headline is relegated to the footnote
01:37:27.380
with with every single law we immediately you know if if you're talking about uh sodomy laws
01:37:32.880
immediately it's like yeah but what about um the friendly gay couple that you know that does this
01:37:37.780
and does that you know or if you're talking about blasphemy laws you know blue or blue laws
01:37:42.220
sabbatarian laws it's like yeah but what about you know this obscure example of so-and-so you know
01:37:47.660
who uh for whatever reason you know the only way that he can make a living is if he works seven
01:37:52.060
days. Look, we've done that. We've done that for 80 years. For 80 years, we have conceptualized
01:38:00.420
and hypothesized the exception. And by doing so, what we have done is No Child Left Behind,
0.76
01:38:07.160
you know, we've done it in our education system, in our schools, in our laws, in our economy,
01:38:11.680
at every single level. We have elevated the exception at the expense of the norm. And the
01:38:18.600
cost of that is that the american people as a whole has suffered that's what we've done and
01:38:25.440
we've traded in american excellence um in order to uh bring ourselves down lower ourselves to the
01:38:35.000
lowest common denominator the entire west has done that every european nation america canada
01:38:41.640
we've all done that and we've done it for just about a century now at least 50 years arguably
01:38:46.980
80, arguably longer. We have to stop doing that. So I love you, brother in Christ. Personally,
01:38:53.400
I'm glad you're here. If you lived here, I would want you to come be a member in our church.
01:38:58.620
We would treat you with fairness and love, just like we do all of the members of our church.
01:39:03.600
But if I was in charge, and as I use my platform to try to influence policy and culture and politics
01:39:10.720
outside of myself and with our nation as a whole, I am going to advocate
0.52
01:39:15.380
that immigration, illegal immigration is immediately stopped. Legal immigration
0.91
01:39:23.700
is drastically mitigated. And then for those who are able to legally immigrate,
01:39:28.280
I want them to be Christian. I want them to love America and love our heritage. I want them to
01:39:34.760
fully assimilate, I would like to see people stop speaking Spanish and that nothing is written
1.00
01:39:42.840
in any public square, in any public setting. Nothing is written in Spanish.
1.00
01:39:47.580
What about the signs of H-E-B that say food stamps accepted here?
01:39:52.900
Number one, get rid of welfare. So no food stamps. Number two, if you got to have food stamps for
0.97
01:39:57.680
a while and you're weaning the nation off of welfare as you're changing policies, yeah,
01:40:01.080
it's written in English. And if you can't read English, go back.
01:40:04.760
go back um this is a country that speaks your language that's awesome for you this is america
01:40:11.800
we are a christian nation and we are an english nation and people can come but they must come
01:40:19.200
and be christian they must be uh want to be eventually american or at least their children's
01:40:25.220
children that their family um their posterity would become american so they love the lord
01:40:29.800
Jesus Christ. They also love American heritage and want to be grafted into it. And part of that is
01:40:35.280
a willingness and eagerness to fully assimilate. Ruth does not track in on the Israelite carpet
0.90
01:40:44.220
her Moabite mud. No, she literally forsakes her people, not just her gods. It's not just the
0.94
01:40:51.780
religion. It's also the culture, the people, the everything. She says, not just your God will be
01:40:57.500
my God, as she's talking to Naomi. She says, your people will be my people. And it's not saying your
01:41:04.240
people will be my people along with my other people. In addition to, no, it's a switch. It's
01:41:11.960
a trade. It's a replacing. She's saying, I am abandoning the false pagan Moabite gods. I'm also
0.56
01:41:19.460
abandoning the Moabite people. A hyphenated Israelite. Yep. I am not a Moab hyphenate Israelite.
1.00
01:41:27.120
no there's no hyphen i am going to be an israelite and out of that heart and that mindset
01:41:33.980
you have a messianic line that eventually produces the christ you do not get that out of out of um
01:41:41.180
mexican american or whatever that story is very interesting because naomi had two sons who died
01:41:47.480
and she told both of the wives ruth one and orpah i think the second one and she laid it out she
01:41:54.580
said look this is what it means and it's not that orpah um was saved or not but it was in that moment
01:42:02.560
it was a perfectly acceptable decision for orpah to say you know what i'm going back to my people
01:42:07.360
i'm going to my i can't like i am a moabitess right i'm gonna go with them in fact it was
01:42:12.320
unusual for all we know she could have gone back to her people without going back to her gods
0.55
01:42:16.100
and said right she could have been regenerate she could have um um actually adopted yahweh as
0.99
01:42:22.400
her god because by virtue of her marriage and that influence all that kind of stuff converted
0.98
01:42:26.380
and then said i'm going back to my people without going back to my gods as a worshiper of yahweh
01:42:31.920
and i'm going to work with my people so that my people might worship the true god and that's a
01:42:36.100
perfectly legitimate and even praiseworthy decision right okay so how did the the west
01:42:43.100
get to this point well we've mentioned it many times i'm going to read a couple quotes these
01:42:46.580
are from newspapers in england as some of these investigations have come to light over the years
01:42:56.520
So this was a report that came out after the Telford, a rash of grooming gangs in Telford, a town in England.
01:43:02.540
It says, the report said that the majority of known perpetrators were of Pakistani heritage and that in some cases, get this, local officials and other agencies had been wary of identifying ethnic origins.
01:43:16.180
For fear of upsetting community cohesion or being seen as racist.
0.98
01:43:21.380
Now, I don't know about you, but I'm not sure that there's anything that would upset community cohesion more than perpetually, methodically raping the daughters of the town.
0.81
01:43:34.420
But no, let's not label the perpetrators as Pakistanis for fear of upsetting cultural or community cohesion or us being labeled racist, right?
0.55
01:43:44.740
It has to be said almost every time you bring that word up.
01:43:49.340
It was a German-Jewish man named Magnus Hirschfeld, wrote a book called Racism, 1938.
01:44:00.400
It's a made-up term by subversive people to be weaponized against people who love their own.
01:44:09.100
You have to reject the whole leftist framework.
01:44:14.540
England is no longer a majority Christian nation.
01:44:17.020
Only 46% of England is now Christian, and I realize for some of our English brothers
01:44:22.240
there, they're going to say, like, it's much lower than that.
0.89
01:44:28.760
The minority population is so large in England that there's a political incentive for leaders
0.99
01:44:36.040
It says, when the grooming scandal hit the town, Jim Dobbin, MP, also told me not to
01:44:40.920
link the issue to Asian Muslim community because it would have an adverse electoral impact.
0.95
01:44:45.940
Here is more influence of Islam, influence our politics, and what MPs are prepared to say in public.
0.97
01:44:52.240
Many politicians have prioritized vote winning over speaking truthfully about these grooming gangs.
0.97
01:44:57.200
They have sacrificed young girls for their personal political ambitions.
01:45:01.820
Then I have one more related to this whole fear of being called racist thing.
01:45:08.060
In the 2000s, an Asian grooming gang was free to roam the streets and abuse young girls because police officers were told, get this.
0.54
01:45:14.980
this is what they were told on record to find other ethnicities to investigate and a detective
01:45:22.640
has claimed it quotes him as saying we had a massive input um we had a massive input was the
01:45:28.120
offending target group were predominantly predominantly asian males and we were told
01:45:32.820
to try to get other ethnicities i mean so when when the police are being told you cannot go after
01:45:40.900
someone of x ethnicity because it will look bad will get called racist and will lose political
01:45:47.300
campaigns this is what you this is what you end up with that's insane i want to cap it all off
01:45:53.200
with a quote um about multiculturalism um from tim deep he's the same guy that i quoted earlier
01:45:59.380
so this is number six nate and this is just what we have to be upfront about as christians
01:46:05.340
Multiculturalism, he says, is an ideology that is fundamentally opposed to Christianity.
01:46:10.780
It cannot accept a transcendental source of morality and therefore resists accepting the
0.61
01:46:17.060
It considers missionary activity and attempts to morally reform cultures as immoral.
01:46:22.660
What we're really up against is an anti-Christian, not just competing vision of the world.
01:46:29.240
Multiculturalism and the idea that all nations are the same, which we've hit on over and
01:46:34.040
over and over again multiculturalism is a non-christian antithetical worldview to the
01:46:40.240
christian worldview because his point is you can't you agree if if all cultures are equal
01:46:49.200
then the gospel actually has no business transforming a culture right if england or
01:46:55.380
if the u.s has been influenced by christianity for decades and centuries and millennia and that's not
01:47:01.180
better then what point is the gospel right what like like what's the point of having the gospel
01:47:07.340
infiltrate and percolate through and transform utterly transform our society if nothing is
01:47:12.360
better and nothing is worse then there's no reason to to to call people to a higher way of life that
0.96
01:47:18.780
isn't aligned with god's law and christ's grace and all of the rest like even the whole missionary
01:47:22.600
project that that we love is a product somewhat of the globalism but even that whole under
0.72
01:47:30.080
missionary project gets undermined if multiculturalism wins the day right that was
01:47:34.780
multicultural lots of different peoples all gathered together mixed in and then god said
01:47:40.480
separate yeah establish your places and and this yeah and this principle even applies not just to
01:47:47.340
nations and culture but individuals like i remember you know a few years back preaching a sermon and
01:47:53.280
and i could tell that the congregation was struggling with it but i knew that it needed
01:47:57.460
to be said because i felt like the neo-calvinists isn't true to the the actual reformed you know
01:48:03.180
tradition but the the neo-calvinists you know they had taken like calvin soteriology and then
01:48:08.520
you know kind of you know warped it through like kind of you know made it modern and you know like
01:48:14.340
like calvin plus classical liberalism plus you know whatever a splash of political correctness
01:48:19.860
and this that and the other um a lot of those guys which would be the majority of calvinists today
01:48:25.220
um and in in over in a sense of overcompensating um and and over attempt to um to to somehow you
01:48:36.780
know hedge against the accusation that calvinists are arrogant or prideful which there's plenty of
01:48:42.840
times that that's true um but in order to do that you know it became all the rage for a few decades
01:48:48.900
you know with the young reformed restless movement and kind of the resurgence of calvinism
01:48:52.860
uh for at least 20 years you know every sermon was kind of like well and one of the the chief
01:48:57.640
beauties you know it's almost as though like um um the the most brilliant facet of the diamond
01:49:04.200
of that is reform theology is is this um that uh that according to reform soteriology the
01:49:13.740
christian is no better than any anyone else you know like um you didn't not only did you not earn
01:49:19.540
in terms of your decisions, your choices, your actions.
01:49:26.540
than the unbeliever to your left and to your right.
0.60
01:49:33.180
so you don't even have superior decision-making faculty.
01:49:40.660
and certainly there's a sense in which that is true.
0.99
01:49:48.840
But here was my point when I preached this sermon that people wrestled with because it felt foreign to them on that backdrop of, you know, Calvinist trying to prove that they're not prideful and arrogant, you know, and overcompensating.
01:50:00.740
The reason why that felt so foreign to them is the argument that I was making was I was saying, yeah, it's true that when you become a Christian in conversion, God is not choosing, you know, he chooses the fools to despise the wise,
01:50:17.300
the poor, to despise the rich. God is not looking at the mass of humanity and picking
01:50:22.360
the superior portions of humanity in order to inherit salvation. But upon inheriting salvation,
01:50:29.340
so not in terms of God's election, his choice, while we are yet enemies of God, but upon no
01:50:35.820
longer being enemies of God, once that heart of stone has been removed and replaced with the heart
01:50:39.580
of flesh, once you're no longer an enemy of God and a child of his wrath, but rather an adopted
01:50:45.940
Son of the living God, then it's not just that the penalty of sin has now been paid,
01:50:56.440
It's not just justification, but sanctification as a fruit and an evidence of justification
01:51:03.840
And the end result is, and this is crazy, I know, but the end result is that Christians
0.99
01:51:15.940
and we have to be able to say that. That must be true. Of course that's true. Because to say
1.00
01:51:23.360
anything otherwise is ultimately to say that the gospel is nothing more than fire insurance.
01:51:28.740
It only affects the life to come, has zero effect on this life here and now. It's to render the
01:51:35.800
gospel impotent. It's to say that the gospel covers the penalty for sin, but it doesn't actually have
01:51:41.460
any power to break the power of sin. It is true that the Christian still will wrestle with the
0.97
01:51:47.580
remaining presence of sin, but both the penalty is paid and the power is broken so that the Christian
01:51:53.920
can get better. Even when I do, you know, we do this every single day in our catechism with our
01:51:59.760
children, with family worship. If you want to know some of the less political and cultural,
01:52:04.220
bit more of the—and not even pastoral, but, you know, Joel as husband and father in my private
01:52:11.180
home—some of the questions that we do in our catechisms, we say—so, you know, we get to a
01:52:19.320
point where we say, will God ever die? No, God lives forever. And then the next question that
01:52:25.020
we do is, will you die? And the answer is, yes, it is appointed to man that he should die once,
0.98
01:52:30.780
and then comes the judgment. Then the next question is, will you be destroyed in the judgment
01:52:36.840
or will you pass through the judgment? And the answer is, I'll pass through the judgment. And
01:52:42.420
I do this with my two-year-old. My two-year-old says, I'll pass through the judgment. Do I know
01:52:47.780
whether or not my two-year-old is regenerate? No. But I teach my two-year-old to say, yeah,
01:52:52.860
you're darn right. I'll pass through the judgment because I believe it's a matter of when and not
01:53:00.160
if this two-year-old was given to me. He's not just any two-year-old. He's my two-year-old.
01:53:05.940
The Lord gave him to me, and I believe the means of grace are not severed from the ends of grace,
01:53:10.460
and that one of the chief means of grace where God saves his elect is actually parenting,
01:53:16.260
that God gives. I mean, just look at the statistics. If you're born in a Muslim home,
01:53:20.580
God saves, but a lot of times he doesn't. You're statistically far more likely to grow up and be a
1.00
01:53:28.000
Muslim. Shocker. You're born in a Christian home, and you have a far higher likelihood of growing up
1.00
01:53:33.900
and being a Christian. So that's the next question is, will you pass through? Will you be destroyed
01:53:37.320
or pass through the judgment? I'll pass through the judgment. Then it's, why will you pass through
01:53:40.900
the judgment? Because I trust in Jesus. And then we start getting into the commandments of God and
01:53:47.980
obedience. And one of the questions there that's very integral is we say, what is it?
01:53:57.340
I had, I, the reason I started so far back is because it's a sequence and I remember it better
01:54:02.120
if I start from the beginning. Um, but we, we go to the commandments. Um, what is it? Um,
01:54:09.860
oh, how do we, you know, how do we glorify God, uh, love him and obey him? Um, and then,
01:54:15.440
and then it gets to, um, like basically like it gets into why do we obey God? Um, and it's, um,
01:54:22.920
I think the specific question is, is anyone good enough for God? And it's, uh, the answer is,
01:54:27.340
no um all have fallen short of the glory of sin and fallen short of the glory of god and uh and
01:54:33.180
then um we say um uh with with obedience it's um gosh i'm so sorry it's escaping me but uh with
01:54:41.980
obedience it's basically it gets to like can anyone be good enough for god can you obey is
01:54:46.780
obedience a means of inheriting salvation the answer is of course no um but then i follow it
01:54:51.760
up and i i detour from some of the classes in the westminster and keach's catechism and some of that
01:54:55.780
it's a lot of Keech's Catechism in Westminster, but I've added some of my own questions,
01:54:59.680
and then I get into, so does obedience matter? That's what I'm getting to. If we're not saved
01:55:05.060
by our own obedience, does it matter? And the answer is yes. And then it's two particular
01:55:10.020
reasons why it matters. I say, why does obedience matter? Is God pleased if we grow in obedience to
01:55:16.400
the Ten Commandments? That's how it is. Is anybody saved by his obedience to the Ten Commandments?
01:55:21.660
No. No one is good enough for God. Can we grow? That's the next question. But if we're Christians,
01:55:27.500
if we're Christians by grace, can we grow in obedience to the Ten Commandments? And the
01:55:31.540
answer is yes. And then the next question is, if we grow in our obedience to the Ten Commandments,
01:55:36.440
is that pleasing to the Lord? Is the Lord pleased by our sanctification even in this life, knowing
01:55:41.500
that in this life no one's perfectly sanctified? So the fullness of sanctification doesn't ever
01:55:46.220
happen in this life, which means every single way that you're being sanctified, every way you're
01:55:49.740
growing in obedience, it's never achieving perfect obedience. All we ever offer to the
01:55:53.560
Lord is imperfect obedience. So is the Lord ever pleased? He's pleased with our positional
01:55:59.240
righteousness, our standing in Christ, which comes by faith alone. But is he ever pleased
01:56:03.700
by our progressive righteousness? Not just our justification. We know he's perfectly
01:56:08.380
pleased in our justification, which is by faith, and that's the perfect righteousness
01:56:11.520
of Christ, which is imputed and not earned. But is God ever pleased with our progression
01:56:17.360
of sanctification in this life. As we grow, as Christians, as we grow in obedience, never
01:56:22.000
attaining perfect obedience, but improving in obedience. And the answer is yes. God, as our
01:56:27.360
Heavenly Father, is actually pleased in our feeble attempts in improving, while not yet ever arriving,
01:56:34.160
still improving in obedience. So that's the first one, is why do we want to grow in obedience? It
01:56:38.900
doesn't save, but we can grow. It is possible. And number one, it pleases the Lord. Sanctification
01:56:44.460
pleases the Lord. Not only justification. Justification perfectly pleases them in terms
01:56:50.060
of positional righteousness, but progressive righteousness of sanctification also pleases
01:56:54.060
our Heavenly Father. The second one is, I ask, when we grow in obedience, as Christians,
01:57:02.240
when we grow in obedience, does it make the world a better place? Is it more loving to our neighbor?
01:57:07.520
And the answer is, again, yes. To grow in obedience makes the world a more loving place
01:57:12.580
for our neighbor. So we want to grow in obedience, not because our obedience saves. Only the perfect
01:57:18.640
obedience of Christ, which is received by faith alone, saves. But by growing in obedience, one,
01:57:23.460
growth in obedience, sanctification, not mere justification, pleases the Lord. Two, growth in
01:57:28.400
obedience, sanctification, is one of the ways that we love our neighbor. The more obedient each
01:57:33.160
individual person is to the law, word of God, that's how we love our neighbor. We love our
01:57:38.820
neighbor by not putting idols in his face, by not taking the Lord's name in his presence,
01:57:44.740
by not stealing from our neighbor, by not coveting what God has sovereignly given to
01:57:50.140
our neighbor, by not murdering our neighbor, by not committing adultery with our neighbor's wife.
01:57:55.060
In all these ways, we're loving our neighbor. And so, can we grow in obedience? Yes. And in growing
01:58:02.220
in obedience, does that please the Lord? Yes. And so, all that back to what you were saying,
01:58:05.680
michael my point is um god doesn't choose certain people to become christians because they were
01:58:11.040
better but when god chooses someone and makes them a christian that does make them better
01:58:15.920
christians are better than non-christians that doesn't mean each you can always do the exception
01:58:21.740
thing that we've already talked about you can find the worst christian and and then find the most
01:58:27.340
outwardly moral non-christian and compare those two and make your your reddit argument you know
01:58:34.560
as a James Lindsay new atheist, that's fine, that's cute. But if we want to be serious people,
01:58:39.800
adults, then you have to look at the group dynamic on the whole. On the whole, regenerate
01:58:45.440
Christians, are regenerate Christians morally superior in terms of outward behaviors? Are
0.61
01:58:50.920
regenerate Christians in general morally superior to unregenerate pagans? If you can't answer that
0.98
01:58:59.540
question with a resounding yes, then you're not being humble as a Christian. You're actually
01:59:06.680
being accusatory in indicting God as having an impotent gospel that is mere fire insurance that
01:59:14.300
covers the penalty of sin, but is impotent and powerless to do anything about the power of sin.
01:59:19.600
And it's the same for nations with cultures, which are simply the comprise of outward behaviors
01:59:26.060
and customs and rituals and actions that's what forms a culture um if you have a christian nation
0.98
01:59:34.880
you have a christian culture and a christian culture beats the hell out of an islamic culture
0.87
01:59:41.240
or a pagan culture or a jewish culture and if it doesn't then what are we doing
01:59:48.000
what are we doing like i you know like i i feel like the response to this you know in the chat
01:59:54.600
should be uh uh you know a shocking news update um joel believes that christianity is true
02:00:01.240
you know like uh shocker joel thinks that christianity christian pastor uh says that
02:00:06.740
christianity is positive for the world right like of course we believe that and so so what do we
02:00:12.200
like yes we want the gospel to spread to every single christian nation but we want we don't
02:00:17.740
want every nation to come here we want the gospel to go out and for nations to become christian
02:00:22.560
and when they do, those cultures will become better. In the meantime, until that happens,
02:00:28.320
those countries that have less Christian cultures, because they have not been Christian nations for
0.57
02:00:33.520
centuries and centuries, those are worse countries. They're worse. It's not everything's
0.84
02:00:38.760
the same. Oh, it's just different. It's a distinction without a difference. No, it's a
02:00:42.740
distinction with a difference. Somalia is not a great place to be. Not by comparison to these
1.00
02:00:49.860
united states of america haiti is not a great place to be and people will get cute again the
02:00:54.620
reddit atheists will say well i just googled the the uh the religion in haiti you know and it's uh
02:01:00.100
whatever 93 you know uh-huh yeah uh catholic christian with a syncretist mix of voodoo
02:01:07.880
and it's been that way for 15 minutes right i'm talking about countries that have been christian
02:01:13.620
since king alfred for a thousand years and arguably 1500 all the way back to constantine
02:01:24.460
Christian pastor says Christianity is positive for culture.
02:01:31.700
I mean, so really where we were landing is where I was hoping that we would get,
02:01:38.320
and that is just this idea that there are forces that are at odds with the Christian worldview.
02:01:47.200
and the we've we've mentioned this a lot before but that battle is not just a battle in the church
02:01:54.360
over doctrine and that battle is over what is real and what is not and i think that when people
02:02:01.540
look back at this time in history because reality will win what they'll say is this was the time
02:02:07.260
when people tried to say reality is not real on a whole host of issues whole host of issues
02:02:12.940
gender yep yep the whole the whole nine yards yep um and so you know that's why i i think you
02:02:21.800
said it earlier wes um there's optimism right like this cannot continue it it's not a matter
02:02:28.580
really another what's that yeah one way or another nature is going to win the way that god has created
02:02:33.280
the world is going to exert itself there's no arguing with that what's that nature is here
02:02:38.060
yeah exactly yeah yep uh andrew tate is running for prime minister in the uk really and and he's
02:02:43.920
he's great on like there will be no boats coming in boats leaving daily taking people out uh
02:02:49.080
attackers perpetrators rapists they'll rot in prison we're gonna live stream it but man why
0.99
02:02:53.540
couldn't it be a christian that's how impotent we are yeah he's a muslim that's what i was gonna say
0.99
02:02:58.860
and uh his takes and and some of his takes actually are good yeah um he'd be better than
0.98
02:03:04.380
the current one sadly which is some level but yeah but he would be a drastic improvement and
02:03:08.720
that's not to say much of andrew tate that's to say um uh very little about um the current
02:03:13.680
administration in england but um but yeah i've seen some of his takes and there's some good stuff
0.96
02:03:17.660
but um but the glaring terrible sad tragic irony is the dudes a muslim right it could have been
0.66
02:03:25.300
christians we've had the christian kings the christian princes the christian prime ministers
0.98
02:03:29.340
we've had them it could have come from our stock and we just sold the boat well not only that but
02:03:35.000
the reason he converted from christianity now i mean obviously we know biblically that's a testimony
02:03:40.660
that he was not regenerate sure but the point is he was so unattracted to the weakness in
02:03:44.620
christianity that he went to something else that was stronger like even on that he who's now a
02:03:49.220
muslim himself said this is this there's nothing here right because he was just a secular you know
02:03:54.640
not non-religious person and then and then he started realizing you know started waking up like
02:03:59.740
a lot of people red pilling on this and that the other and started realizing whoa we need to go
02:04:04.020
back you know we need something ancient tried true um tested you know and um and secure and
02:04:11.860
you know humanist secular you know mumbo jumbo ain't it and so he was like i so basically it
02:04:17.680
was like he was at a crossroads and was like i need a religion religion is ultimately what
02:04:22.480
humanity has ascribed to since its birth for you know millennia and i need a religion and i'm sure
02:04:29.420
he considered christianity uh but the reason he ultimately didn't choose christianity is because
0.92
02:04:34.400
christianity is fake and gay um but not inherently right it's a pseudo fake shallow christianity that
02:04:42.320
has become that way um but if if andrew tate when he was making this decision if he would have been
0.98
02:04:48.720
able to talk to um the christians of old he would have been like richard the lion heart yeah if he
02:04:53.780
was sitting down with duke godfrey and then muhammad and deciding israel he'd be like right
0.98
02:04:59.260
muhammad is super gay and also a rapist right the very thing i'm trying to stop and uh duke godfrey
0.94
02:05:06.880
um is a man this dude is amazing you know and i guarantee you tate would probably have chosen
0.99
02:05:13.300
christianity so all right that's it i hear my family outside they're saying dada you are done
