Fellow Star Wars fans:
PLEASE stop letting certain YouTubers negatively influence your views & opinions on Star Wars, the Obi-Wan Kenobi show, & Lucasfilm in general. Make up your OWN minds.

I’m not a fan of The Last Jedi. At all. BUT, when I see fans of the film tweeting about how much they love the film, I don’t feel the need to post something negative on their post. I’m happy they love it! Let people enjoy things & just scroll on. This isn’t hard 🤷🏾♂️

I’ve seen White conservatives AND White “woke” progressives use African-Americans to push their agendas. Agendas which don’t benefit the Black community (such as abortion).
Black people are not pawns in a game between White conservatives & liberals. We are image bearers of God.

Talking with my Pastor tonight. Because some White Americans & some White Evangelicals can’t say the “N” word in public, they’ve substituted the words “thug” & “woke” in its place.
“Woke” & “Thug” are just undercover ways of saying what we know they’re saying.

I was shocked by this interaction last night with a PCA TE. How one can be an ordained TE in the PCA & believe American Slavery was not 100% sinful & wrong biblically is beyond me. Interactions like this is one reason why so many POC’s are hesitant to join Reformed churches.

I know a lot of folks in the Star Wars fandom don’t like what The Last Jedi did with Luke’s character but, correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t Luke turn to the Dark Side in Legends?
So in both canon & legends, Luke does something that many say is “against his characterization?”

For the Reformed Christian to deny the ongoing effect of America’s original sin of racism & yet affirm the ongoing effect of humanity’s original sin is to act against our own theological convictions.

THIS. I was asked by a former pastor of mine to consider being a Ruling Elder…until he recognized more & more that some White members didn’t like how I spoke about race (even tho he admitted it wasn’t sin). Then he rescinded that offer. White comfort is def a thing in the church
Racism cannot truly be dealt with if you're only willing to go as far as White comfort will allow.

So Christians can’t hold to the true & good within CRT because it’s secular but we can hold to Republican & Conservative secular ideologies?
We can’t hold to the true & good within CRT but can elevate atheists who critique CRT even though they don’t even believe in God?

One thing I’ve learned in my journey & growth in evangelism is that starting with Genesis 3 (The Fall & Law) instead of Genesis 1 (Creation & God’s love for us) isn’t usually the wisest.

When White churchgoers call African-American Christians who fight for justice & equality, “Marxists” or “Critical Race Theorists”, what they’re really calling us is the “N” word all over again.

“Should the infants of Christians be baptized?”
One of the main things I had to wrestle with regarding this question was, “Who does my children belong to in an outward sense? God or Satan?”
I believe the answer is “God” (1 Cor. 7:14). The mark of belonging to Him is baptism.

This is why Black America has to stop trusting Democrats & White progressives. This includes White Christian progressives, as well. They are not our friends & often are blind to their own racism. See Malcolm X on this issue.

CRT & White Supremacy can be boogeymen.

I have to give props to Rian Johnson for actually addressing the flaws of the Jedi the Prequels showed us & dealing with them in The Last Jedi.

There’s a lot of unbiblical & heretical teaching masquerading as “decolonization”, “deconstruction”, or “social justice.”

This probably has more so to do with the lack of qualified men who happen to be black than blatant mistreatment.
The reason I sat this is, I grew up around many black Christian’s. Not many of them ever aspired to the ministry or quite frankly were qualified for such a task.

I think a reason so many get baptized multiple times is ‘cuz they’ve been taught that baptism is the only biblical way to publicly profess their faith.
The Lord’s Supper is also a way.
