Pushing Back Against Slander Against Kinism by the CRCNA’s Reggie Smith

It has been impossible to keep up with all the misrepresentation and slander that has been thrown in the direction of those who identify as Kinism. Just recently I came across yet another slanderous piece written by the head of the Christian Reformed Church’s (CRCNA) head of race relations.  That piece can be located here though if you read it you’ll learn nothing about Kinism that is representative of what Kinists believe. It’s just another hack piece as coming from the pen of someone who has imbibed the spirit of the age.

I honestly don’t know if it is a case of low IQ that finds so many people so consistently misrepresenting Kinism or whether it is just a matter of people having been so thoroughly brainwashed on the subject of race realism that they just can’t get outside of their bubble. A third option is that these folks really have reinterpreted Christianity through a cultural Marxist grid. The chap who wrote this piece is a known quantity and I have pretty much concluded that on this subject he is just not capable of understanding what he is writing about. However, he is not the only one in the CRCNA who has slandered me, the Church I serve, and Kinism. There was a chap named Ken Bieber who served on the staff at the CRCNA church in Lansing, Michigan (at the time… that church has since left the CRCNA because they supported the LGBTQ cause in defiance of the denomination) who was quoted in a hit piece by the Lansing State Journal written years ago.

I am pursuing this all again in light of how the Southern Poverty Law Center, who at roughly the same time that the CRCNA was slandering the Church I serve and myself, has finally been exposed as a grifter organization thus giving credence to the truth that like the CRCNA, the SPLC slandered me and slandered the Church I serve.

The article linked above opens with this;

1. What is kinism?

Kinism is a movement that began in the early 2000s in the United States in some Reformed theological circles and churches. It espouses the belief that God has ordained separation of races in all areas of life. Quoting the theology of John Calvin, Abraham Kupyer, and Louis Berkhof, kinists believe that God, through Old Testament witness, rejected all interracial marriages. With this in mind, kinists would use the force of civil government to establish policies similar to apartheid in South Africa before 1994.

1.) Kinism has been around since for millennium. The Anthology books, “Who Is My Neighbor,” and “A Survey of Racialism in Christian Sacred Tradition” proves, in spades, that Kinism is just basic Christianity 101. As such Reggie Smith is just embarrassingly wrong when he writes that the Kinist movement began in the early 2000s in the US.

2.) Reggie Smith is correct though in noticing that Kinist quote from Calvin, Kuyper, Berkhof, Vos, Hodge, DeJong and a host of Reformed Christians. The reason we quote from these chaps is because these chaps were proto-Kinists, which is just another way of saying that they were Biblical Christians. Reggie Smith and the ilk that disagree with the Reformed Fathers are in no position to condemn Kinism as heresy unless they are going to be consistent (something not to be expected from these lowbrows) and condemn Calvin, Kuyper, Berkhof, Vos, etc. as being heretics. Given how far left Reggie is, he may well be willing to do that.

3.) It is not true that Kinism, as a variegated movement, rejects all inter-racial marriages. That is just a bald un-truth. I suppose that Reggie is a little sensitive about this issue since Reggie married inter-racially and apparently faced some disapproval at the time of his marriage from his now in-laws. It may be the case that some Kinists reject all inter-racial marriages, but it is not the case that all Kinists reject all inter-racial marriages. Since Reggie is writing about the movement as a whole when he makes this claim it is an errant claim. I have consistently said that while I think that, generally speaking, inter-racial marriages are unwise, I insist that once such a marriage is contracted the Church should do all it can to support such marriages apart from allowing their own children to enter into such marriages. The Church should also discourage such marriages.

3.) I run in Kinist circles. I know very few Kinists who would advocate the use the force of civil government to establish policies similar to apartheid in South Africa before 1994. This looks to be just a rhetorical ploy to make people scared of Kinism. What Kinist might do is press for legislation that puts an end to Hollywood and advertisers forever putting in our faces inter-racial marriages as if they are some kind of norm. If that much was done, we wouldn’t need the force of civil government since people just do not marry inter-racially on a large enough scale without the culture pushing it to have to be concerned that it will become a norm.

Keep in mind that Reggie Smith has been in error before when raising the specter of South Africa;

Setting the Record Straight … I Was Right Then, And I Am Correct Now – Iron Ink

There you have it. On just this first bullet point by Reggie Smith we see how errant the man is on the subject. There are four more bullet points that good old Reggie raises and we are going to see how he is errant on those as well. It might be said that Reggie Smith is as accurate in his reporting as the SPLC is accurate in their labeling of “hate groups.”

Submitted to “The Free Press” for publication at their request – SPLC

 

Finally, the loathsome SPLC has been indicted. “Whatsoever a man soweth that he shall also reap.”

Of course, this doesn’t mean that this organization will be convicted in a court of law but for now the spotlight has been turned on them to expose the hate filled nature of their hate filled accusations.

My objection to the SPLC was their contention that there was something errant or unworthy about hate. Scripture clearly teaches that God hates all workers of iniquity (Ps. 5:5). Scripture tells us that there are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to Him (Prov. 6:16, cmp. Zech. 8:17). The Holy Spirit instructs His people to “Hate that which is evil, cling to that which is good (Romans 12:9).”

Because of these instructions I gladly admit that I hate the SPLC with a holy hatred since it has consistently revealed itself as an organization that hates that which God loves (Ps. 139:21). Indeed, the SPLC has always used their hate list as a proxy war to seek to destroy Biblical Christians and Biblical Christianity. Oh, sure, every once in a while, they would put some haters on their list who the Lord Christ hates in order to provide a fig leaf to cover their agenda of destroying Biblical Christianity. Even an old blind wandering sow can find an acorn once in a while. Still, it’s pretty clear that any organization that claimed to be an authority on identifying hate while refusing to name “Anti-fa” as a hate group was working with an ax to grind.”

Next, Christians have to get past thinking that there is something intrinsically wrong with “hate.” How can we not hate that which the Lord Christ loves? How can we not hate that which seeks to destroy the good, the true, and the beautiful as Christianity defines the good, the true, and the beautiful? Instead of defending ourselves from charges of hate we should step up to the mic and say, “Of course I hate that which is vile, false, and ugly. Who wouldn’t?” Christians who don’t hate the SPLC and the parallel organizations are not right in the head. Tolerance of evil folks is not a virtue.

Finally, and this will probably fly right by people, Christians need to realize that Biblical hatred is built on the foundation of love. It is because we love people that we stand in opposition to them when they attack those things God counts as lovely. It would not be love to the Christ hating cosmopolitans to communicate that we accept their attack on that which is virtuous in their pursuit of the establishment of the perverse. We participate in their evil when we don’t tell them to “Kiss the Son lest He be angry and they perish in the way (Ps. 2:9).

Because of all this I popped a cork from the finest champagne and celebrated when I heard of the SPLC being hoisted on their own petard. I only pray now that the ADL, B’nai Brith, and the ACLU will also soon get a similar comeuppance.

Webbon Gives Pass To Calvin Robinson’s Anti-Protestant Christianity Lies

“Likewise Protestantism is a Jewish breakdown of the order of God. So, it’s like (for Protestants) “you can believe that, but you don’t have to believe that.” It’s the picking and choosing of bits of Christianity in order to lead people away from Christianity. Rather than having the fullness of truth (Protestants believe) you can have that bit of truth and reject that bit of truth and still be in good standing with God.”

Calvin Robinson
English Catholic Priest
Interview w/ Joel Webbon

Of course Webbon said nothing to refute this Papist bull fecal matter. I know some Reformed people who have become enamored with Robinson. Likely, it helps them to say to themselves, “See, I’m not racist. I like a black clergy member.”

So, since Joel Webbon said nothing to repudiate this garbage, allow me to say that Rome remains in violent opposition to the God of the Bible and the Christian faith. Rome is not Christian in the least given its official position and doctrines and until Rome repudiates Trent it remains as an Institution, anti-Christ. Also, how many consecutive clear anti-Christ Popes does their need to be before people realize that Rome is a whore house, just as the  Reformers noted? The latest Pope’s latest activity finds him canoodling with the Muslims, giving them religious credibility.

These words by Robinson is pure projection on his part. It is Rome who invents its own Christianity and then after the Reformers stood up and said, “What you have randomly picked and chosen as Christianity is NOT Christianity,” Rome complains we Protestants are the ones picking and choosing what we will and will not believe.

Shame on Webbon for giving Robinson a pass.

Interviewed by John Leonetti on Why Right Reason & Natural Law Doesn’t & Can’t Work

 

In terms of Natural Law theonomists recognize and acknowledge that God sends Gen’l Revleation/Natural Law. The Heavens do declare the glory of God. The disagreement isn’t over whether or not Nat’l law exists. It does. The disagreement is whether or not fallen man afflicted with the noetic effects of the fall (remember total depravity … not Utter Depravity) receives and owns what Natural Law/Gen’l Law teaches. It’s pretty clear that as the antitheses gets more and more worked out that the fallen man cannot and does not receive the teachings of Natural Law / Gen’l Revelation and that because he suppresses the truth in unrighteousness. As CVT put it (paraphrase here);

God is sending on all radio frequencies but fallen man is forever trying to change the channel so as to not hear what God is sending.

Now, it is true that fallen man does do things that are in harmony w/ Natural Law but this is only because he has not become consistent yet in his Christ hating presuppositions. He has imported Christian capital into his Christ hating worldview in order to get his Christ hating worldview off the ground and functioning. Only the increasingly criminally insane approach being consistent with their worldview that denies God and His Natural and Special Revelation. As such, all worldviews that are Christ hating will borrow capital from Christianity in some capacity. This is because fallen man has to climb up in God’s lap in order to slap him in the face.

It should seem obvious in our culture that the Natural Law paradigm of Wolfe and others is just plain non-functioning. We have men saying that natural law does not teach them that they are men. We have women saying that Natural Law does not teach them that it is wrong to murder and torture their children. We have people attending government schools dressed up as furries and using cat litter instead of bathrooms. HERE is your natural law you so covet and insist needs to be the foundational starting point for building social orders.

Indeed, Natural law ought to be seen as non-sensical given that there is a different and competing natural law for every worldview in existence. Deism had a Natural law that was different from Jacobinism that was different from Transcendentalism that was different from Darwinism, that was different from Nihilism, that was different from Romanticism, that was different from existentialism. In short there have been as many Natural Laws as there have been Christ hating worldviews, including those worldviews which have taught that there is no such thing as an “out there” and so no natural law (think existentialism, post-modernism, nihilism, etc.).

Again, the issue isn’t with the reality of Natural Law that God has established. The issue is with appealing to a Natural law as a basis in order to order society, law, and culture.

Here I am merely being CONFESSIONAL

Anyone claiming to be Reformed and bound by the Canons of Dort, yet spouting Natural law the way it is being spouted by Cody and others on this thread needs to show how this ideology squares with Canons of Dort III/IV.4:

“The Inadequacy of the Light of Nature”

To be sure, there is left in man after the fall, some light of nature, whereby he retains some notions about God,-1- about natural things, and about the difference between what is honorable and shameful, and shows some regard for virtue and outward order. But so far is he from arriving at the saving knowledge of God and true conversion through this light of nature that he does not even use it properly in natural and civil matters. Rather, whatever this light may be, man wholly pollutes it in various ways and suppresses it by his wickedness.-2- In doing so, he renders himself without excuse before God.

-1- Rom 1:19-20; 2:14-15.
-2- Rom 1:18, 20.”
