In CRT the only way not to be a racist is to agree with the tenets of CRT regarding power structures and oppression. What some Southern Baptists are trying to do is say “hey we can use the ‘good’ parts of crt to help identify sin areas.”

Btw, that’s at best. And I always appreciate the humble brothers and sisters who genuinely want to identify and fight sin.
However, they are wrong. First, because there is nothing necessary that CRT brings that helps identify sin issues that cannot be identified w/ Scripture.

2ndly, what CRT identifies as problems are not even biblical categories for sin: such as just being white or a white male or a white housewife or whatever. Those are not sin issues.
3rdly, CRT wrongly emphasizes that man’s problem is first w/ man, and not God. 1000x wrong.

4thly, CRT’s goal isn’t to eliminate racism. It is to be racist. It is to attempt to “flip” its erroneous categories of oppressed and oppressors. Thus, in CRT ppl get preference based on skin color. Which is racist.
5thly, CRT cannot be advanced unless it is accepted in totality. The halfway move of accepting good parts but rejecting other parts cannot last. CRT is an entire worldview built on a wrong view of God, sin, and people. If you try to borrow from it, you will have to embrace it all
6thly, there is not forgiveness or reconciliation in CRT. CRT is about power structures. This is why some SBC ppl have actually pushed reparations. CRT has actually moved their eyes off the gospel. Which is more proof it can’t be accepted in part.
7thly, we must listen carefully for those who say they reject crt but actually use the crt worldview to dialogue. The issue is not that CRT is coming. It’s that it is here and already infecting so many.
Therefore, we must, as southern Baptists, reject CRT in its totality. All of it. It brings nothing necessary, helpful, or beneficial to the table. In fact, it is the opposite. It is a godless cancer seeking to devour our association of churches.
In Nashville we must rescind resolution 9. We must not dare vote for any man to an SBC office who would coddle any aspect of CRT.
And we must call our brothers and sisters to stand for the truth. Do not give an inch to CRT. Reject it and cling to the gospel of our blessed Lord

It will take courage to move forward. It will take a backbone. It will take humility. Most of all it will take an unwavering commitment to our King and His Book.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
