As the Seminary Presidents said--and I affirm-- because CRT does not begin with the image of God in man and because it locates sin in structures rather than in individuals, as an ideological framework it is incompatible with the Bible. (2/9)
But some in our ranks inappropriately use the label of “CRT!” to avoid legitimate questions or as a cudgel to dismiss any discussion of discrimination. Many cannot even define what CRT is. (3/9)
Southern Baptists should be vocal that we stand against racism in all its forms and we recognize that sin has a way of corrupting everything from how we see people to how we build institutions. (4/9)
Let us bring every thought captive to Christ, not allowing ourselves to be seduced away into worldly philosophies that undermine the gospel of Christ. But let us also be committed to be “quick to hear, and slow to speak.” (5/9)
If we in the SBC had shown as much sorrow for the painful legacy that sin has left as we show passion to decry CRT, we probably wouldn’t be in this mess. (6/9)
The gospel, because it starts with an accurate view of man, gives a better analysis of the problem and a better answer than CRT ever can. We don’t need any manmade system because we have the Bible, which is sufficient in addressing these sinful legacies. (7/9)
But let us not, in our rightful theological zeal, dismiss other questions with which our gospel confronts us—nor the suffering of our brothers and sisters of color around us, whether past or present. (8/9)
Let us be clear that we are committed to sharing the burden they feel and that we are committed to stand against injustice in any form. (9/9)
