JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 16: ¹⁸ “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” BUT THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES FOR THAT WHICH BEARS THE NAME OF JESUS BUT WHICH HAS REMOVED ITSELF FROM HIS FOUNDATION.

Rev Thomas Littleton

2/25/2023

It is difficult to watch what has happened to the church in America so far this century. It is most difficult as a Christian and as a minister and as anyone who carries a heart burden for the church, its members in particular and for the fulfilling of the TRUE mission of the church which is THE GREAT COMMISSION. People need the Lord -therefore they need to hear a pure-powerful and ATONEMENT based Gospel.They need a refuge -a place of worship- of fellowship- or discipling -…a House of Prayer for all .

But as Jesus chased out the money changers and rebuked those making His Fathers House a “house of merchandise ” and a His “House of Prayer” into a “Den of Thieves” so it is today. A house cleaning is in order.

A PARABLE OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST AT THE GATES OF HELL: WHAT FOUNDATION HAVE THEY BUILT UPON?

Jesus makes clear the GATES of HELL will not stand against His Church -BUT no promises have been made to those who depart from His foundation to build their own kingdoms. In the case of the current leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention -these people have elected to rebuild the TOWER of BABEL by following global cultural and political trends and call it the church.

The point in specific is SBC leadership and its Executive Committee have gotten on board with the #metoo / #churchtoo movement of anger driven feminist theology which hates the ATONEMENT- forgiveness and ALL the Gospel offers. These leaders have hired one of the nation’s largest corporate Diversity -Equity – Inclusion consultants and “abuse investigation ” firms named Guidepost Solutions -and gone gunning for abusers and those they deem “credibly accused” of abuse.

THE RIDE ALONG FOR THE DRIVE BY

LIKE THE CHAIN GANG ESCAPEES HITCHING A RIDE WITH BABY FACE NELSON FRESH OFF A BANK JOB AND BEING PURSUED BY THE LAW-SBC LEADERS IN 2018 HITCHED A RIDE WITH THE #CHURCHTOO MOVEMENT. ( From O’Brother Where Art Thou” the 2000 Coen Brothers film)

PLOT

“Three convicts, Ulysses Everett McGill, Delmar O’Donnell and Pete escape from a CHAIN GANG and set out to retrieve a treasure buried by Everett before the area is flooded to make a lake. The three fail to get on a train before getting a lift from a blind man driving a handcar He tells them they will find a fortune, but not the one they seek.”

It is the Depression Era – much like the state of the SBC and church at present. Everett is our unnamed visionary leader(s) in the SBC who has /have long sold his/ their vision casting to the highest bidder. Delmar and Pete are the foolish fellow escapees who simple mindedly go along for the adventure not thinking through the outcomes of this “search for treasure” or what is about to be lost. While on lam from the law ( their accountability to God ) and walking along a dike ( keep in mind the coming flood -like divine judgement and the loss of any hope for finding the true treasure. ) they see a fast approaching vehicle. Time is of the essence so they hitch a ride. The vehicle is the “get away car” of famed bank robber Baby Face Nelson. This fast and recklessly driven car is the #churchtoo movement .The driver is Feminist theology on its own mission to take aim at … well the very boys who just got onboard and their visions of treasure. Worse yet the driver HATES the core of Baptist theology of ATONEMENT and FORGIVENESS around which its past ,present and future hopes rest. These Baptist leaders have become like wandering vagabonds who have long forgotten their foundations and the calling they profess to possess.

MONEY MONEY MONEY

As the car speeds along with its new passengers – the ill gotten proceeds of past raids have “come unstowed ” and MONEY IS FLYING EVERYWHERE. Suddenly the good ole boys from the chain gang realize they are in a ride along with a criminal who has his own treasuring seeking agenda and in a shootout with the law. They also a flood is coming- as they too are being pursued by justice for their own crimes. Meanwhile the high speed at which this vehicle is moving poses many dangers in itself as Mr Nelson goes about the business of taking aim at his targets….leaving his passengers to figure out that they are not in control and finally begin questioning what they have just gotten THEMSELVES into.

THE SBCs FAILURE

The SBC has been in the firm grips of feminist theology promoting the #ChurchToo movement against its members, pastors and churches since 2018. The media and SBC insiders have helped move the SBC into the hands of Guidepost Solutions -an abuse “investigative firm” and DE&I compliance consultant. Joining the effort is a group of survivors – some very real and very sad and sadly used by a larger agenda. Also there are some perhaps who are not victims BUT time will reveal that. The survivors, though featured up front, are not the focus of feminist theology and its taking aim at the church in America.The survivors are part of the victim coalition building & merely the excuse used by the sirens in this sad retelling of a classic tale. The extended cruise is even more perilous than the ride along.

JEZEBEL IS ON THE MOVE AND KILLS PROPHETS : OR DID THEY FORGET ?

While charmed by the sirens song and promised treasure SBC leaders in the Executive Committee have given up their ATTORNEY /CLIENT PRIVILEGE- Lost the law firm which had represented them for over 2 generations /some 68 or so years. Now filling that void there are some 7 or 8 other law firms and a PR firm representing Guidepost who ALL subscribe to DE&I values internally and promote compliance to these metrics in their clients.

All this and more came to bear on the SBC this past week when the SBC Executive Committee met with its full trustee board to report on the state of the SBC , do regular business and to make ready for the coming June Convention

THE APPEARANCE OF A COURSE CORRECTION

On the one hand the EC disfellowshipped the Saddleback Church (one of two churches disfellowshipped ) founded by famed Baptist /Drucker Disciple Rick Warren. Warren had been pushing boundaries for several years by ordaining women as pastors and appointed a successor who are his and her “pastors”. So the headlines looked like the SBC EC are holding the line on the Baptist Faith and Message on the Role of Women in the Church . Good right?

Not so fast because in the same meetings the EC signed up for YET ANOTHER ride along with the Feminist Theologians driving the #churchtoo movement. The EC has agreed for the feminist theology driven machine to compile and operate a DATA BASE of Baptist they AGAIN ” deem credibly accused” of sexual abuse. Continue to keep in mind the Feminist theological systems HATE biblical ATONEMENT -demand justice and retribution and pounds upon pounds of flesh from abusers. It loathes orthodox biblical male /female roles in the church and the home – despises the nuclear family calling it an IDOL and it operates out of critical theories like gender theory- feminist theory and queer theory birthed from Cultural Marxist verbal revolutionaries. Feminism and its theology always carries racial and sexual minorities in its big tent and does not end with a single Gospel driven REDEMPTIVE outcome. Why ? Because it is not Gospel driven at all…and that is ALL by design. It is anti gospel.

“THERE’S NO TELLIN WHERE THE MONEY WENT “

Meanwhile a report on a financial audit ordered last year for 2021 REVEALED something the Executive Committee tried to shuffle past even while reporting to their own trustees.

NOTE THE NUMBERS :

The SBC Executive Committee 2021 Financial Audit Report revealed that the SBC EC is on an “Unsustainable”path financially- that “changes will have to be made” that “EVERYTHING is on the table”. After several relentless trustee inquiries EC spokespersons revealed that they have lost HALF of their assets from $12 million down to $6 million in 2021 alone. Nothing has yet been revealed about 2022 numbers . There was plenty of grandstanding about other giving while never any mention of outside sources of income. Long and short of it -the Executive Committee had to admit THEY ARE GOING BANKRUPT .

Though these problems stem from their ride along with the #churchtoo fast and reckless movement- the SBC EC has decided to go for another ride and let these forces run their database for sex abusers thus allowing them reach into all Baptist life and entities AND into the local church. The very feminist theology driven forces which hate the very core of Baptist life and theology and are taking aim at the heart of the church in America are NOW the “Gatekeepers” and accountability partners” for Southern Baptist. Insane ? Yes absolutely.

Ignorance is to blame with some who are along for the ride But for others behind the efforts to attach the future of the Church to this movement there a is a clear willingness to sell out of the household of faith . They are also saying yes at the highest COST possible – the loss of the Gospel hope in the Atonement. It is the one true treasure they actually have to offer fallen humanity INCLUDING VICTIMS OF ABUSE. They have exchanged the glory of God for that which does not profit and their own birthrights for a bowl of stew.

THIS TIME THE GATES OF HELL WILL WIN -WHY ?

The institutional church plae in American culture is likely done. Short of a massive move of the Holy Spirit to bring about deep repentance and judgement starting at the house of God bringing in a massive house cleaning – the SBC is DONE. And it has been done in at its own leaders hands.

As the Serpent beguiled Eve and then she gave to her husband and brought about the Fall of Mankind -so once again the enemy has persuaded them that they can reject the commandment of God and their identity as His image bearers and strike out on their own becoming “like God”. The best weapons the serpent has ever had is to slither in between these GOD ordained partners given full fellowship with God and suggest “Hath God said…?” Once men and women of God move out of God’s light and seek their own truth – they are done building their lives on God’s foundation and promises. Paul, when instructing about the roles of men and women in Ephesians, pointed out that he was speaking “a great mystery” which is that their roles serve as types of the relationship between Christ and the Church. That fail is a massive loss to couples and to the church.The same is true of the SBC and other Christian movements. Jesus has made no obligation to preserve that which is built on other foundations. In fact he has promised to uproot and shake it until it falls. HELL HAS ENLARGED ITS BORDERS .

Hebrews 12:

Hear the Heavenly Voice

²⁵ See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” ²⁷ Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

²⁸ Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. ²⁹ For our God is a consuming fire.”

Matthew 15:

¹³ But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. ¹⁴ Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”

O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU GOING FROM HERE ?

After the FALL- the complicit and willingly ignorant SBC leaders who are still standing likely hope to find new jobs in the “Pappy O’Daniel Brain Trust” given their history of faith based partnerships. That may happen in the short term but the long term outcomes will not be so comfortable given their accountability to the one who called them to serve His house.

THE BAPTIST TALE OF WRONG FOUNDATIONS /DECONSTRUCTING THEIR OWN HOUSE .

The SBC movement is a convention of autonomous churches in cooperation called the Southern Baptist Convention. At one time there were over 16 million people and over 47,000 churches in the SBC. Today actual Sunday morning services of regular attenders, according to Baptist research organization Lifeway Research, is about 3.6 million (down from @5 million less than a decade ago.) So the SBC is in STEEP decline from what are largely self inflicted wounds.

In mission they have departed the Gospel for decades with buying into the following:

THE CHURCH GROWTH MOVEMENT

THE MULTI-SITE/MEGA CHURCH MOVEMENT

NEO-CALVINIST FALSE TEACHINGS AND ALLIANCES LIKE “THE GOSPEL COALITION “

MASSIVE INFLUENCE FROM SOCIALIST IDEOLOGIES / ORGANIZATIONS- COACHING AND “TRAINING NEXT GENERATION PASTORS FOR THE NEW PARADIGM CHURCHES”, LEADERSHIP NETWORK SELLING THE SNAKE OIL OF PETER DRUCKER BEING THE WORST.

THE AGE OLD MOVEMENT KILLER OF “THE SOCIAL GOSPEL”. TODAY IT IS CALLED “SOCIAL JUSTICE” AND DIVERSITY, EQUITY ,INCLUSION & BELONGING.

FAITH BASED PARTNERSHIPS WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND PRIVATE SECTOR ENTITIES TURN THE SBC AND THE CHURCH INTO A COMMUNITY SERVICE ORGANIZERS AND VOLUNTEER BASES DELIVERING JUSTICE DRIVEN SOCIAL SERVICES/ WELFARE/ HEALTHCARE /HOUSING / DISASTER RELIEF/ REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT / FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE AND AN ENDLESS STRING OF CALLS TO DUTY IN REDISTRIBUTION AND ADDRESSING INEQUITIES. ( Note it is this false foundation which has the SBC and many churches compelled to comply with DE&I. PLUS the churches and ministries took some $7.3 billion in the the first round of Covid Pandemic bailouts so it is time to pay up and time to comply.

SEMINARY HEADS BEGAN IN 2009 TO TAKE DARK MONEY DRIVING FAITH DRIVEN WORKPLACE INDOCTRINATION FROM YALE CENTER FOR FAITH AND WORKS AND OTHER SOCIALIST /JUSTICE /EQUITY SOAKED “HUMAN FLOURISHING” AND “COMMON GROUND FOR THE COMMON GOOD” / “THRIVING ” GOALS.

GET THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM?

Can you see where along this path the foundations shifted and the Gospel has been lost? The SBC has no promise of survival since it has not allow the Lord to build it and the leadership have been building their own Tower of Babel across the cracked foundations listed above. Now ownership of and vision casting has been handed over to another who cares not for the Biblical foundations required for biblical faithfulness and future survival.

CONCLUSION

HOPE – CAN THEY KEEP HOPE ALIVE ?

When the ship is sinking the only hope is to abandon ship and swim for a lifeboat or floating debris. In the case of the current frigid culture “survivors” have virtually no chance of lasting for long unless they find refuge. Of course it is customary for captains to go down with the ship after doing all they can to save passengers.But it is not likely such nobel actions will be observed by current leadership. So if you are headed for a lifeboat- make way -the SBC leaders who ran the Ship into the rocky shores of #churchtoo likely will plan to be the first to abandon ship.

But Jesus will have a day of reckoning awaiting them…if not now- someday soon.

The entire tale of error and loss reminds one of the ill fated journey of those taking Paul to Rome for trial after he had appealed his case to Caesar. Warnings unheeded- shipwreck is certain .

ACTS 27

Paul’s Warning Ignored

⁹ Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them, ¹⁰ saying, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.” ¹¹ Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul. ¹² And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.

In the Tempest

¹³ When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete. ¹⁴ But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called Euroclydon. ¹⁵ So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her drive. ¹⁶ And running under the shelter of an island called Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty. ¹⁷ When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven. ¹⁸ And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship. ¹⁹ On the third day we threw the ship’s tackle overboard with our own hands. ²⁰ Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.

²¹ But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss. ²² And now I urge you to take ^[f]heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. ²³ For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve, ²⁴ saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ ²⁵ Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me. ²⁶ However, we must run aground on a certain island.”

Apocalypse–ON HUMAN RIGHTS. Think of what is really going on here. When globalist from the far left want to advance the rights of the fringe then it is always at the immediate expense of the majority and eventually is set to the collapse of any and all protections for anyone. FOR GLOBAL HUMANITY – THE LONG SOUGHT ENSLAVEMENT DRAWS NEAR WITH BARS AND CHAINS made of words, theories and the fleeting concepts of a false equitable and inclusive utopia.

“Annotated image from IBM’s Diversity in Faces dataset for facial recognition systems.)

Nothing says FAILURE to maintain an ETERNAL perspective and Gospel focus like aligning with the mainstream of trending culture in order to make your ministry or movement more popular and “in step”. Yet what is lost in the process is beyond value and often beyond recovery.

Diversity Equity and Inclusion are not biblical concepts, redemptive drivers or Kingdom of God principles BUT this has not STOPPED many “inspired” Christian leaders and organizations from adopting the DE&I metrics as “success” and applying them to the corporate cultures of churches and ministries. The Big FAIL is yet to come as DE&I redefines every aspect of human interaction and is driven by non-human and anti Christian /anti God ideology. Even if these organizations are able to use their DE&I compliance to obtain massive grants from foundations and government agencies and secure corporate partnerships and matched giving among supporters – the stench of death to their vision and divine calling is unmistakable and inescapable.

SOME DOCUMENTED EXAMPLES OF MINISTRIES AND MOVEMENTS ALREADY TAKEN IN BY DE&I

CRU- FORMERLY KNOWN AS CAMPUS CRUSADE

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) at CRU International

“What do employees from different demographic backgrounds think about diversity, equity and inclusion at CRU International? Read what CRU International is doing to promote DEI in the workplace and how the company supports individuals of varying gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, religion and other attributes.”

Cru’s Four Areas of Strategic Focus

ASSOCIATION OF CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS INTERNATIONAL

“The Challenge ACSI “

“The challenge of discussing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) can be even more pronounced in Christian circles than in the general public, because we rightly believe that we are all created by God and that there is only one race—the Human Race. Verses such as Galatians 3:28 reinforce this: “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” While this verse primarily expresses that there are no lesser or greater Christians based on background, it can be misinterpreted that cultural challenges are not present in the Body of Christ. We can incorrectly use verses like this and others to recuse ourselves from any serious examination of cultural problems affecting our school communities.”

CHRISTIAN MEDIA “CHURCH LEADERS.COM” ADDS “BELONGING” TO DE&I

“Critical Race Theory. Wokeness. Gender-affirming. Implicit bias. Christians today are coming face-to-face with a tidal wave of terms and changing cultural norms that have left many feeling like exiles, foreigners in a distant land. Wanting to hold to both biblical truth (conviction) and God’s never-ending grace (compassion), many find themselves not knowing how to move forward in the wake of so much change. “…Truth be told, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) aren’t four-letter words. In fact, they may be just what we need to find our way back to a discipleship that models Jesus’, and that sees those in our world come to true faith.”

SOUTHERN BAPTISTS HAVE ALLOWED INTERNAL ACTIVISTS TO USE #CHURCHTOO ABUSE ISSUES TO DRIVE THEIR MOVEMENT INTO DE&I COMPLIANCE ORGANIZATION GUIDEPOST SOLUTIONS

Mission Statement of GUIDEPOST SOLUTIONS

“Guidepost Solutions fosters an inclusive environment of professionals who share common values of diversity and equality. We treat each other with respect. We listen to and learn from one another with compassion and empathy. We encourage diverse viewpoints as we provide innovative solutions for our clients’ complex challenges.”

“A dedicated Diversity + Inclusion Committee brings our team together by offering educational presentations, open platforms for listening and discussion, and learning opportunities. We incorporate these activities into our workday and beyond.”

Vision Statement

“A mosaic of diversity and innovation.”

GUIDEPOST SOLUTIONS -WITH IT’S DE&I CULTURE -EVEN RUNS THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST “ABUSE HOTLINE”.

Southern Baptist who call to report sexual abuse are networked through Guidepost and its deep commitment to Diversity Equity & Inclusion .

1. Who “runs” the SBC Hotline?

“Guidepost Solutions LLC (“Guidepost”) Guidepost is an independent, third party that was hired by the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee (“SBC EC”) on May 25, 2022, to collect reports, whether anonymous or attributed, regarding current and historic allegations of sexual abuse within SBC churches and SBC entities. Guidepost has set up the SBC Hotline as a means to gather information from reporters and refer submissions to the SBC Credentials Committee for their consideration and action as the SBC Abuse Reform Implementation Task Force deems appropriate. All calls/emails are handled exclusively by Guidepost team members. Guidepost continues to maintain this hotline.”

CHRISTIAN POST ARTICLE IN NOVEMBER 2018 PROMOTED THE CALL TO DE&I FOR CHRISTIANS

“Here’s Why Christians Should Be on Frontline of Promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion“

“To better reflect God’s Kingdom here on earth, Christians should be at the forefront of promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of society, from the church to the classroom, says Greg Dowell, Liberty University’s Vice President for Equity and Inclusion.”

GLOBALISTS LIKE THE UNITED NATIONS/ WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM AND COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS USE DE&I AS THEIR METRIC FOR ACTIVISM DRIVEN REDEFINING OF HUMAN RIGHTS GLOBALLY.

UNITED NATIONS -“DIVERSITY ,EQUITY, INCLUSION FOCUS

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM -” EMBEDDING DE&I ECONOMICALLY AND IN SOCIETY

OUR MISSION

“Embedding equity and inclusion into economies and societies”

“The World Economic Forum is committed to helping people and organizations follow through on commitments to expand opportunity for the traditionally excluded, whether economically, racially, culturally, or technologically.”

“We aim to provide a platform where the public and private sectors can join forces to try to recognize historical shortcomings, rectify systemic inequalities, increase the diversity of perspectives involved in decision-making, and develop cities and technologies that are accessible for everyone.”

“PROBLEMS” WITH USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE . AND DE&I GOALS ARE SIGNIFICANT – WORKPLACE/HIRING IS ONE EXAMPLE

“AI in recruitment: is it helping or hindering your drive for DE&I?”

(FROM DIVERSITY Q ARTICLE JANUARY 2023)

AI, recruitment and discrimination

“At face value, it is easy to see the appeal of AI technology – but it can become problematic when AI is relied upon to reduce BIAS.”

“It is well known that a diverse workforce gives employers access to a greater range of talent, driving creativity and innovation and also producing commercial advantages. With growing pressure to meet diversity and inclusion goals and to establish meritocratic cultures, many companies are now relying on AI in recruitment to ensure candidates are assessed “objectively” and without reference to characteristics such as gender and race.”

IN REALITY INCLUSION BECOMES A WAY TO EXCLUDE CHRISTIANS AND CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATIONS !

– BEWARE –

NOTE- When algorithms driven to promote DE&I are used in the context of “detecting the non-compliant”/hate speech/domestic terror then issues arise for the offenders and non -compliant with the daily functions of life. These include shopping/ banking, government program participation , healthcare , voting rights, scholarships, hiring or promotions in the workplace. As the DE&I assessments are applied then ANY mention of indication of ” ANTI- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion philosophy” such as those reflected in conservative. orthodox Christian Worldview is detected then the person holding such “discriminatory” views WILL BE EXCLUDED. The detection and the PROCESS will not be by an official, or the head of HR or the admittance office BUT by the drivers in the Artificial Intelligence and algorithms. The EXCLUSIONS WILL BE AUTOMATIC and perhaps irreversible .This is actually a “desirable outcome ” and use of AI for those interested in and committed to the metrics and “Social Credit Scores”.

So much for “INCLUSION “. .. IF YOU BELIEVE THE WRONG THINGS.

This exclusion and intolerance has already moved its way INSIDE the church where Jesus warnings in John 16:2 are being fulfilled all around us.


“They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.”

EUROPE HAS EVEN CONSIDERED BANNING THE USE OF A.i. IN SURVEILLIANCE AND SOCIAL CREDIT SCORES -AS REPORTED BY LIBERAL CNBC IN APRIL 2021

“EU to consider ban on using A.I. for mass surveillance and social credit scores”

“LONDON — Using artificial intelligence software for mass surveillance and ranking social behavior could soon be outlawed in Europe, according to draft legislation that has been shared online.”

FROM CNBC ARTICLE: (An annotated image from IBM’s Diversity in Faces dataset for facial recognition systems.)

• An 81-page leaked document says “indiscriminate surveillance of natural persons should be prohibited when applied in a generalized manner to all persons without differentiation.”
• On social credit scoring, which is already used in China, the draft legislation says: “AI systems used for general purpose social scoring” should be prohibited.
• Certain uses of “high-risk” AI could be banned altogether, according to the document, while others might not be able to enter the bloc if they fail to meet certain standards.

Artificial Intelligence: AI, Diversity, and Inclusion

Curation: Desautels Faculty of Management, McGill University

“One way to avoid problems with the technology is to create more diverse development teams”

“Artificial Intelligence tools are often promoted as an opportunity to improve diversity and inclusion. However, the news is full of stories about AI systems going horribly awry in ways that have the opposite effect. Some aspects of AI – such as its large scale, automated processes, and data-based decisions – could in principle expand access to resources and foster fairer treatment. Yet these same features also risk creating only the illusion of objectivity, while they encode inequality and injustice on a vast scale – or are used to further oppress disadvantaged groups. While AI tools do have the potential to improve diversity and inclusion, that power comes not from AI itself but rather from their creators. Current AI is not capable of abstract reasoning, nor can it predict the impacts of major change, necessitating human creators who understand why a current system may be problematic – and how AI might improve it. Similarly, the problematic impacts of AI on diversity and inclusion stem not only from issues related to data and algorithm design, but also from their creators misreading and oversimplifying social systems – and not anticipating unintended consequences.”

“For example, a scandal erupted in the United Kingdom in 2020 related to an algorithm used to grade crucial university entrance exams that undercut the scores of less-affluent students (though it was not a full AI system) – illustrating how algorithm creators may not anticipate how their tool will reinforce existing inequalities. Consideration of the diversity and inclusion impacts of AI systems should be incorporated into the design and evaluation of all AI tools, as well as their regulation and oversight. In addition, subject matter experts are necessary to understand the context in which an AI system will be deployed. Perhaps the most critical need is for AI development teams themselves to become more diverse – through changes in access to education and resources, hiring practices, and organizational cultures. Numerous examples exist of AI systems that are problematic because they reflect the world views and assumptions of their creators. While diverse teams are not a guaranteed fix, they reduce the odds that diversity and inclusion impacts will be overlooked. Diverse AI talent also broadens the innovation landscape more generally in ways that can push the technology forward on all fronts.”

CONCLUSION

Entire historically faithful movements and ministries have gone over to the DARK SIDE of global politics and Cultural Marxist standards for human behavior.They have subjected themselves to DE&I and culture change, social justice, and globalist ideologies to promote “Common Ground for the Common Good” /Community Development and training leaders for a “New Harmonious World Order “. Our innocent children and grand children are now subjected to being transformed into GLOBAL CITIZENS right under our noses in our own churches and Christian Schools and homes. All of this is in defiance of everything God has commanded us to do regarding our parental responsibilities. And it is all taking place on once Holy Ground- His ground – the church of the Living GOD.

Where do we go from here? The simple answer is “no where good “.There is no possible good outcome left on this trajectory and the sad reality is – the sooner this failure is judged the better for the world and the church. God arise and Let judgement begin at the House of God among those who think themselves guiltless while selling out the saints of an entire generation. And Lord – in wrath remember MERCY . Amen .

1 Peter 4:

17 For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

Habakkuk 3:

² O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid;
O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years!
In the midst of the years make it known;
In wrath remember mercy. 

After having corrupted the church for decades and ruined the lives and ministries of countless young pastors…FILLING OUR PULPITS WITH CHAFF- TGC doubles down asserting that it can repair the breaches and restore the church with more of its poisonous doctrines.

2/7/2023

There is no secret what false teaching can do.What it has done to other movements and denominations..it will do to you (your). And at least since 2018 most biblically anchored believers began to understand that progressive politics and warped doctrines of The Gospel Coalition were at the very core of declining commitments to biblical truth in the American church.The leavened continues to spread into Europe ,Asia and most other parts of the globe. After all Tim Keller’s TGC / Redeemer City to City . Center for faith and Works movements are indeed GLOBAL MOVEMENTS.

After Keller announced that his health was in serious decline many, this author included, have prayed that his illness might serve as a sobering wake up call leading to repentance from his problematic influences on modern day Christian faith. In stead he and those who look to be committed to preserving his organizations and legacy and furthering the reach of his teachings are making efforts to secure its continued existence.

INTRODUCING THE KELLER CENTER FOR CULTURAL APOLOGETICS

@ReformTheoSem folks & friends involved et al.

“Our Post-Christendom Culture”

“We’re living amid the largest religious transformation in American history. Forty million Americans have left the church in the last 25 years. Many other Western countries have already seen similar declines. But that’s not the only challenge. After the fall of Christendom, believers in Western countries now face a strange mixture of apathy and antagonism toward the gospel. Many of our neighbors view Christianity as yesterday’s news but also as the source of today’s problems.

“We want to stem the tide of the dechurching by cultivating spiritual depth and humility among Christian leaders. “

“Learn more about The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics:

“This is a new challenge. A big challenge. And church leaders don’t yet know what to do.”

The story of Timothy Keller is the story of his spiritual and intellectual influences, from the woman who taught him how to read the Bible to the professor who taught him to preach Jesus from every text to the philosopher who taught him to see beneath society’s surface.”

“With access to Keller’s personal notes and sermons—as well as interviews with family members and longtime friends—Collin Hansen gives you understanding of one of the 21st century’s most influential church leaders. Go behind the scenes to view additional pictures, watch interviews, and listen to the full sermons and lectures you read about in the book.”

TGC AND THE MODERN RABID NEO-CALVINIST ADMIT THE CHURCH INFLUENCE IS FADING AND YET REFUSE TO SEE OR ADMIT THAT THIS HAPPENED ON THEIR WATCH AND AS THE ERRORS FLOODED -LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY -INTO THE CHURCH WITH THEIR FALSE TEACHINGS.

“The reasons our friends and family leave the church are both common and complex. The Keller Center wants to close that back door by giving you gracious answers and innovative strategies to help friends and family find God in the church. Already we have commissioned and begun to assess the largest-ever survey of people who have left the church. We plan to share this data through our website, books, and podcasts as we consult experts who can help church leaders respond wisely.”

“In previous decades, even non-Christians in Western nations might know enough about God, sin, salvation to connect the dots as we testified to Christ. But now, those dots may not even occur to them. Many of our secular neighbors can’t seem to comprehend the gospel, let alone admit they need it. We need churches with wide-open front doors, where our neighbors can connect the dots by meeting the very body of Christ, a compelling community. The Keller Center shares best practices through cohorts, essays, books, conferences, courses, podcasts, lectures, and more.”

“SEND OUT THE EQUIPPED “

“Even as we make the church a more hospitable place for skeptics and doubters, we must go to them—in their neighborhoods, in their schools, and in their workplaces. The Keller Center’s resources equip Christians with answers developed in collaboration between leaders in the academy, marketplace, and church. We have begun to develop creative and accessible apologetics content on various platforms where many young people first encounter arguments against Scripture and faith.”

“In summary, The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics helps Christians show unbelievers the truth, goodness, and beauty of the gospel as the only hope that fulfills our deepest longings.”

“We want to train Christians—everyone from pastors to parents to professors—to boldly share the good news of Jesus Christ in a way that clearly communicates to this secular age.”

How You Can Join

“Much of this training will come from The Keller Center’s fellows. The Keller Center equips these next-generation leaders through regular online gatherings and an annual in-person retreat. During their multi-year terms, these writers and teachers collaborate on answers to the questions that either lead people to lose faith, or prevent people from finding faith in the first place.”

“In The Keller Center’s online cohorts, you can learn with and from other front-line leaders on the most pressing issues facing the church today. You can sign up for our newsletter to be notified when our fellows publish an essay or release a new podcast. And you can financially support the center so that our efforts can grow in proportion to the scale of this historic challenge.”

“Close the back door.

Open the front door.

Send out the equipped.”

REALITY CHECK- TGC IS THE WELLSPRING OF CRITICAL THEORIES IN THE SEMINARIES AND THE PULPITS- OF SOCIAL JUSTICE- SOCIAL CHANGE TRANSFORMATION AND “THIRD WAY” PROGRESSIVE POLITICS

TGC GAVE US THE FOLLOWING- JUST A SAMPLING OF THE ERRORS :

MLK/50 in April 2018 which alerted the Christian world to their false gospel and racial division along justice and CRT lines.

iN THIS EVENT CRT WAS IN FULL USE BUT HAD BEEN FLOODING THE SEMINARIES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF TGC SINCE AT LEAST 2009

TGC ALLIANCE WITH PROGRESSIVE &CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED AT MLK/50

APRIL 2018 TGC LEADERS ARE CAUGHT PROMOTING “LIVING OUT ” AND “REVOICE” LGBTQ+ CHRISTIANITY

Make The Gospel Great Again :Reject the False Gospel of “LGBT+ Christianity”

2019 AND 2020 TGC LEADERS AND THEN TIM KELLER JOIN WITH OBAMA FOUNDATION, DEMOCRATIC PARTY OPERATIVES AND PAUL SINGER FUNDED IDEOLOGY IN & CAMPAIGN TO MOVE BIBLICAL CONSERVATIVES TOWARD MUSHY MIDDLE .

TIM KELLER JOINS LEFTIST & CAMPAIGN

There are many more examples of the false teachings and horrific impact of TGC and Tim Keller’s influence. Much of his phraseology and talking points come from openly Frankfurt School inspired Think Tanks like the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture and the far left economic theory wrapped in warped theology from Yale Center for Faith and Works.

Creating an “Evangelical Deep State” operation there has been plenty of dark money to go around like Kern Family Foundation and Templeton Foundation who both moved “off shore ” to the Cayman Islands in at least 2014.With no tax benefit needed for non profit foundations it can only be assumed this move was done to aid in the avoidance of a clear volume of the grant /money trail into organizations associated with TGC.

PERHAPS TGC WOULD BE WILLING TO SHOW WHERE ITS SEED MONEY /VAST OPERATING EXPENSES / AND THE KELLER CENTER FOR CULTURAL APOLOGETICS FUNDING ARE COMING FROM .

HOW ABOUT IT GUYS?

CONCLUSION

Collin Hansen admitted in an odd interview with ABC news that TGC was begun to basically impact the voting habits of Biblically conservative Christians. Interestingly TGC attempts to do so by projecting the false image that it is a politically neutral theological movement when in fact is is simply operating as a carefully engineered progressive political movement with carefully honed narratives to sound theologically reasonable. THIS IS THE MOVEMENT CALLED “NEO-CALVINISM “

Dr. E S Williams has doen a great deal fo research exposing Neo-Calvinism and its doctrine and key leaders like Tim Keller, John Piper , and Albert Mohler.

5 FEATURES OF NEW CALVINISM

POSTED ON JULY 12, 2012

New Calvinist has a two-part series of articles on “Who Are the New Calvinists?”  The Lectures by Ted Williams were delivered at the School of Theology, Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, on July 4, 2012. The lectures were read by Darren Cadapen, a member of the Tabernacle fellowship.

From Part 1:  New Calvinism, The Gospel Coalition and Dr. Tim Keller

“New Calvinism is a movement that is sweeping across the Church in the USA and moving to the UK, and into other countries around the world. Many Christians may not be familiar with the term, and so my task in two talks, is to explain the phenomenon of New Calvinism, a movement that claims to be behind a resurgence of the reformed teachings of John Calvin, Charles Spurgeon and Jonathan Edwards. Led by some of the biggest names in the evangelical world, New Calvinism gives the appearance of doctrinal soundness. But on closer examination, we see a different picture. We see a movement that is bringing the world into the church—a movement that puts no difference between the holy and the profane. I hope to demonstrate that the problem of New Calvinism lies in both doctrine and conduct.”

The following is excerpted from Part 2: Pastor John Piper, Mark Driscoll and Dr. Albert Mohler 

“Here are the five features of New Calvinism.

1) Doctrinal shallowness.

New Calvinism, despite its claims of being a resurgence of the Reformed doctrines of Calvin, is doctrinally shallow. Its message of salvation, while may at times be technically correct, is delivered in a way that lacks conviction; that seldom mentions the awful offence of sin and the need for genuine repentance unto salvation that leads to new life in Christ. New Calvinism’s teaching on sanctification is deficient. It downplays the need for holy living, while emphasising the freedom, pleasures and benefits of the Christian life.

2) Loves the things of the world

New Calvinism has brought the ways and thinking of the world into the church. It does not usually separate from the attitude, desires and things of the world. New Calvinism is given over to the desires and thinking of the flesh. It is deeply committed to contemporary worship and the holy hip-hop scene. In matters of dress, language and entertainment, New Calvinism accepts and follows the way of the world.

3) Profoundly ecumenical

New Calvinism is a broad tent that embraces all shades of doctrine. Assent to the apostle’s creed is all that is required for one to be accepted as a Christian. This means New Calvinism is sympathetic to Roman Catholicism. Its inclusive attitude readily accepts charismatic and emerging church errors. The pursuit of false ecclesiastical unity is the cardinal error of New Calvinism that leads to all manner of compromise. New Calvinists refuse to separate from unsound doctrine, and even the most extremely forms of false teaching. Many form spiritual alliances that are about pragmatic advantage, rather than about the proclaiming the true gospel. Like the New Evangelical, so the New Calvinist, do not practice separation from those manifestly in error, and thus violate Scriptural principles as stated in 2 Cor. 6:14-18.

4) Social activism

New Calvinism adds the social gospel to the gospel of salvation. It believes that a central aspect of the gospel is an attitude of social activism that aims to redeem culture and save the world. It promotes social programs to care for the poor, and the human rights agenda to improve social justice.”

5) Low view of Scripture

“New Calvinism has moved beyond the inerrancy of Scripture debate, for its approach to Scripture is characterised by irreverence and flippancy. Some in the New Calvinist camp even use the Bible as a source of good comedy. The lyrics of rap artists are regarded as being profoundly doctrinal, able to teach the church how the Word of God should be preached. Scripture is contextualised to make the gospel world view sensitive and acceptable to the latest cultural trends in society. Jesus must be presented as the answer to the questions the culture is asking.”

“New Calvinism is a movement that is characterised by flippancy to holy things. It has no fear of God; it puts no difference between the holy and the profane. Puritan Thomas Watson gave this advice: “Take heed whom you listen to! It is our dear Saviour’s counsel, ‘Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves’ (Matthew 7:15). Let me tell you, the Devil has his ministers – as well as Christ. There are some, who by the subtlety of their wit have learned the art of mixing error with truth, and to give poison in a golden cup.”
