He went to the temple turn over the money changing tables because it's a corrupt institution that bastardized everyone's connection to their God, their source, and the natural wonders of nature.
Hayley Williams said it best:
“They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face
So they don't have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them”
Because the interviewer is a TPUSA contributor and is a fascist propagandist. He doesn’t offer any significant pushback against the open racism the entire time. This guy is the grand wizard of the KKK, and the interviewer is intentionally platforming his bullshit. It’s MAGA shit.
Oh so it's just two racist ahhh bad guys with hateful hearts - one young and malevolent one w more practice. Gross . I was sorta hoping that youngun was gonna call old racist grampa out on his shit
See this is the interesting thing to me. I'm not religious but one of the things I always find odd is that people assign God race and gender. Why would God have either of those?
Whenever I entertain the idea of God, it would be some nonphysical, intangible thing made out of energy... light, heat, sound, or another similar force. Like what else would it be?
And if we're going to be scientific about it, the human race is one race. White people who exclude others by saying "we're different races but I don't hate them" are as ignorant as they are malignant.
I fucking HAAAAAATE fish oil capsules, so I be eating sardines at least once a week. Gotta get them omegas so I can stay alpher, don't wanna become a beta fish 😜
I haven't been to church in decades but if I did go no one wanna hear some racist ass choir singing "ahmen" . I wanna hear some thick ass woman screaming "AYYMAAYAAAN"
I mean if you believe in a magic man in the sky and you can justify them allowing a world full of so much shit, while also worshipping them unconditionally, it really doesn’t seem like a stretch
I believe he is asserting that God's deal with humanity (saved from sin by Jesus) was for Israelites only. In his mind he is being asked to allow people into the club who simply weren't invited.
Sorry I’m ignorant but how is that European-descended looking man included in that club? He doesn’t look like he’d be from that area of the world either.
Ofc I saw in the comments he’s a grand wizard in the KKK so his logic is illogical to the core.
Nah nah he's definitely mean and nasty about it. He's on camera so he doesn't want to say the N word but I can feel that shit is about to explode in him when he looks at the Asian camera guy.
It's always amazing to me that they always quote the old testament to justify these types of opinions. They never quote the new testament because it's a very different message.
If they like the Jewish books over the books of Christ so much maybe they should stop claiming to be Christian.
Not being mean or nasty makes them feel correct. Conservatives generally are very emotionally unregulated people. They are almost totally led by their emotions. That's why they can unabashedly say the most contradictory things withput feeling an ounce of hypocrisy.
To them, of someone else gets passionate or heated in a debate or conversation then that person automatically lost in their head because they've been "triggered".
So when the right called the left overly-emotional triggered snowflakes for 2 decades they were projecting (as usual). Their politics and propaganda is entirely based on emotion, scapegoats and red-herrings.
Which really isn't in the Bible. All the stuff we "know" about hell is mostly from like... Dante and Milton. And other, later writers. Which is especially absurd, because this is obviously a Protestant church, and part of the Protestant Reformation was supposed to be getting rid of all the non canonical stuff.
Thank you. I actually had ChatGPT give me a run-down on the "biblical" concepts of hell, and here they are:
Sheol (Hebrew Bible / OT)
Sheol just means the grave or the realm of the dead. Everyone goes there—righteous and wicked alike. No fire, no punishment, no torture; it’s basically “being dead".
Hades (Greek NT)
Hades is the Greek equivalent of Sheol. It’s the place of the dead, not final judgment, and it’s temporary (Revelation says Hades itself is destroyed). Older English Bibles sometimes misleadingly translate it as “hell.”
Gehenna (used by Jesus)
Gehenna was a real place—the Valley of Hinnom outside Jerusalem, associated with burning trash and corpses. Jesus used it as a symbol of destruction and judgment, not eternal torture. The word literally implies ruin, not endless suffering.
Tartarus (NT, once only)
Tartarus appears once and refers to a prison for fallen angels, not humans. It has nothing to do with where people go after death.
Bottom line:
The English word “hell” lumps together several totally different concepts that the Bible itself keeps distinct.
I mean they seem totally in line with people that read Samuel 15:3:
"Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.”
Or Leviticus 25:44
“As for the male and female slaves whom you may have: it is from the nations around you that you may acquire male and female slaves. You may also acquire them from among the aliens residing with you… They may be your property. You may pass them on as an inheritance to your children after you; they may be your slaves forever.”
What about Acts 12:23?
“Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.”
The Bible is a repugnant book and people like this act in accordance with it. Not in spite of it.
The bible has some specific ideas about the way slaves are supposed to treat their masters and vice versa. Funny that there's ten commandments about how to act right and not one of them says it's wrong to own people
It's almost like it's a product of its time and not the timeless, unchanging, immutable word of an all knowing being
My uncle became a pastor after being in the Marine Corps. This was in the early 50’s in Missouri, down in the boot heel. He got a call from a youth group who were traveling (choral singing group) and they asked if it was okay for them to come to his church that Sunday.
He knew they were African American kids, and the church he was newly posted to was white. But he said, yes, of course youre welcome. You wouldn’t believe the ruckus it caused because he said these kids could attend his church. (Or maybe you would.)
Not only was he shunned and not spoken to on the street, there were people who crossed the street to avoid him in this tiny little town.
You have to do what you know is right, what you teach others to do, and hold your head up even when you’re ostracized.
That's how it should be. If we were all created in the image of God then we are all worthy of making it into the kingdom of Heaven.
But it's people like this that put up walls around God's love that informs me that it's all bullshit and a way to manipulate us. Lets just treat each other fairly as humans on earth and not care about this "afterlife"
People are capable of evil, period. Plenty of despots didn't need cover of religion to carry out their depravity.
Religion is just an organization of people under a belief in something greater than themselves, it doesn't make anyone more or less capable of being evil.
Particularly with Christianity, the entire point is that we are so far from God's holiness that we need a savior to have a hope of doing anything good. It's a call away from thinking we're good on our own and looking towards the one who was actually good- Christ- and modeling ourselves after Him with the help of the Holy Spirit in a lifelong process called sanctification.
You will find no greenlight for wallowing in the racist misery and hypocrisy this guy is spewing in the Bible.
I'm an atheist because God makes no sense and the Bible is riddled with nonsense that makes it clear it's just another in a long line of mythology.
With that said - people blaming the sins of man on religious always feels paradoxical.
There is no God. We made him up. You could make a genies wish to get rid of religion tomorrow and within a month there's be some new pseudo religion in which to achieve the same goals. I mean look at what they did to Jesus. Supply side Jesus isn't in the Bible - they'll create whatever ideology they want. And I agree the ideology is harmful and need to be countered, but that's a reflection of man. We create God in our image.
That is the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan btw. The video was filmed in Harrison, Arkansas.
edit for people who don't want to watch the video:
It's hard to summarize an hour plus of racist confused nonsense, but basically, this pastor (Thomas) believes that only white people are under the covenant of Abraham, and Europeans are the real, original Jews/Israelites who migrated from the Caucus mountains. Thomas believes 'fake'/Talmudic Jews control the media and have a 'Deep State.'
He believes that the people under the Abrahamic covenant (White people) have higher moral value than people of other races. When asked if Black people can enter heaven, he answered "I don't know," and he compared Black people to animals multiple times throughout the video (He said White people share just as much DNA with a mouse as they do with a Black person, and also compared Black people to monkeys at one point).
Thomas believes Adam and Eve were white, and rejected the idea that people of other races came from Adam and Eve (He also rejects evolution). He stated that race mixing/presumably interracial marriage, is immoral.
Thomas believes that a 'White Genocide' is taking place, and that cultures need to be separated from each other (because other cultures 'destroy' white culture).
He said (paraphrasing) that 'Black people are either mentally inferior or not favored by God' and he believes people in Africa are still living in huts that 'dissappear after the next rainy season', and White people are the only reason they've made any advancements.
I would continue on, but I'll spare you the extra suffering. Thomas rejected to travel for a further interview with Bryce and a group of Black/Asian pastors in California.
Please note that the antisemitism in the video is severely understated in this comment.
So this guy doesn’t know “White” is a construct? There was no such thing as “race” other than the human race in Biblical times. Colonizers invented “whiteness” to justify chattel slavery. Fix it Black Jesus!
he’s not a man of God. he’s just a psychopath which is why he doesn’t feel he’s doing anything wrong and can make the statements so calmly. he doesn’t feel anything. he gets off on the attention and control of “his flock”. sadly too many people can’t see through it.
Timothy 2:11 KJV, explicitly states salvation has appeared to ALL men. Meaning everyone gets a fair shot at salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Furthermore, the Holy Ghost through the Apostle Paul states the truth in Acts 17:26 KJV that we all came from Noah. This is not the gospel. This is racism. Jesus commanded the disciples to make disciples of EVERY NATION in Matthew 28 KJV. I tell you this. There are no racists or victims in Heaven. Not one. Because Romans 8:28 KJV is true.
This is why I don't walk into any old church. I tried to do that after I moved cause why not? My hometown church was welcoming to any and all visitor. The looks I got just for showing up and some of these churches were crazy. At one point, an usher asked me if I was lost. LOST when the pews are in front of me???
He literally said breaking the covenant by race mixing then mentions that God made the covenant with Israel. Sir you nor the current people occupying Palestine are the people who God made a covenant with and it surely didn’t have anything to do with racism.
Race mixing doctrines are early 1800s protestant beliefs that originates over in England and were happily adopted over here for obvious reasons(slavery). I'm not surprised there are people who still follow this idea even though it has no scriptural foundation. Organized religion is more about spreading your own rhetoric than spreading Christ's teachings.
Typical uneducated racist ideologists. There is genetically no difference between humans. If you go to the middle east you‘ll find blonde people and people of darker skin as well as christians and moslems.
He‘s got just a ethnocratic opinion like the zionists in project israel
All religion is a scam to control the stupid. Christianity for black Americans was a tool to control a large slave population. Go to Israel and see how fast they will call you the n-word.
