AI Produced Special Moderator’s Committee on Kinism
and Race Realism
Westminster: Does Kinism align with the Westminster Standards?
No: It is first and primarily a violation of the communion of the saints (WCF Chapter 26). For Christians to intentionally segregate from other Christians based on ethnicity–in Sunday worship, marriage, schools, etc.–would be to not extend the kind of communion described below to those in Christ to whom that communion rightfully belongs:
Before we look at the butchery done to the WCF by AI and the ARP let’s first consider Dr. John Frame’s take on this matter. Frame has been a member of the PCA and so has himself subscribed to the WCF.
“Scripture, as I read it, does not require societies, or even churches, to be integrated racially. Jews and Gentiles were brought together by God’s grace into one body. They were expected to love one another and to accept one another as brothers inthe faith. But the Jewish Christians continued to maintain a distinct culture, and house churches were not required to include members of both groups.”
John Frame,
“Racism, Sexism, Marxism”
Here is the AI ARP document quoting WCF 26;
“All saints, that are united to Jesus Christ their Head, by his Spirit, and by faith, have fellowship with him in his graces, sufferings, death, resurrection, and glory: and, being united to one another in love, they have communion in each other’s gifts and graces, and are obliged to the performance of such duties, public and private, as do conduce to their mutual good, both in the inward and outward man. (WCF 26:1)
Saints by profession are bound to maintain and (sic) holy fellowship and communion in the worship of God, and in performing such other spiritual services as tend to their mutual edification; as also in relieving each other in outward things, according to their several abilities and necessities. Which communion, as God offereth opportunity, is to be extended unto all those who, in every place, call upon the name of the Lord Jesus.” (WCF 26.2)
Bret responds,
1.) Typos – Note that in the original ARP document both 26:1 and 26:2 are filed as 26:1. Also note the word “and” being used where the word “an” belong. I only note this to reinforce the truth that a sophomore in High School would be held to a higher standard for a final paper than these clowns.
2.) To suggest that the 17th century Westminster divines had in mind here issues surrounding Kinism is just lunacy on the part of the ARP.
3.) Kinists have no problem plighting their allegiance to the above statement. Black Kinists, White Kinists, Brown Kinists, Yellow Kinists, etc. all would insist that they hold to WCF 26:1 and 26:2.
3.) If the ARP is going to be consistent, based on their understanding of WCF 26 they would have to break up their current Korean ARP churches. Will they do that?
4.) Note the phrase in WCF 26, “as do conduce to their mutual good, both in the inward and outward man. “ Kinists would merely offer that the kind of race relations that Kinists promote is the very definition of what conduces to the mutual good, both in the inward and outward man, of all peoples considered, meanwhile contending that it is the Alienists such as we find infesting the ARP who are advocating a policy wherein the mutual good of the saints, both in the inward and outward man, is not being pursued.
In short the WCF 26:1-2 no more disproves Kinism than it disproves that Christians should be involved in building skyscrapers or submarines.
The AI produced ARP document continues,
It is also a violation of Westminster’s allowances of marriage. Westminster allows for inter-racial marriages as shown in WCF 24.3:
It is lawful for all sorts of people to marry who are able with judgment to give their consent. Yet it is the duty of Christians to marry only in the Lord. And therefore, such as profess the true reformed religion should not marry
with infidels, Papists, or other idolaters: neither should such as are godly be unequally yoked, by marrying with such as are notoriously wicked in their life, or maintain damnable heresies.
Bret responds,
We will start off here with a quote by Calvin to demonstrate how utterly idiotic it is to try and leverage the WCF to be the final word on interracial marriage,
“Regarding our eternal salvation, it is true that one must not distinguish between man and woman, or between king and a shepherd, or between a German and a Frenchman. Regarding policy, however, we have what St. Paul declares here; for our, Lord Jesus Christ did not come to mix up nature, or to abolish what belongs to the preservation of decency and peace among us….Regarding the kingdom of God (which is spiritual) there is no distinction or difference between man and woman, servant and master, poor and rich, great and small. Nevertheless, there does have to be some order among us, and Jesus Christ did not mean to eliminate it, as some flighty and scatterbrained dreamers [believe].”
John Calvin
(Sermon on 1 Corinthians 11:2-3)
1.) Clearly, if Calvin were alive today and writing about “some flighty and scatterbrained dreamers” he would have the ARP in mind.
2.) Again, we would note that the WCF is written in the homogeneous British Isles by a homogeneous people. The idea that we can take this document and force it to speak to our multicultural NWO moment in time is hermeneutically irresponsible. Does one really believe that the Westminster Divines would have had no problem with English male member of the nobility marrying a Hottentot peasant female? It’s just ludicrous to imagine.
3.) Given the ARP’s interpretation of WCF 24-3 there is nothing that would forbid a 85 year old female from marrying a 16 year old male or vice-versa as long as they were both Christian. Similarly, given the ARP interpretation it would be perfectly fine for a Christian brother and Christian sister to marry since that would likewise not be a unequal yoking.
People without common sense should not be allowed to get near a pulpit.
4.) I will say this much… WCF 24-3 forbids any orthodox Reformed Christian from marrying someone in the ARP given this phrase,
“neither should such as are godly be unequally yoked, by marrying with such as… maintain damnable heresies.”
This is due to the fact that Alienism is damnable heresy.
ARP document,
These violations mean that those who hold to Kinism or Race Realism violate their ministerial oaths, officer oaths, and membership vows.
Bret responds,
This AI ARP produced document means that people with low IQ should be avoided at all costs.
