Reginald Smith, Head of the Race Relations Dept. in the CRCNA writes,
4. How did kinism come to light in the Christian Reformed Church?
The overture that was sent to Synod 2019 resulted from a specific situation. A CRC pastor had been teaching and preaching kinist theology in his church for about a decade. Several attempts to deal with it through ecclesiastical means were used, but they did not stop the pastor’s actions altogether. In addition, the pastor made his perspective known through social media posts and the church website, publicly giving the impression of a tie between the Christian Reformed Church to kinist teachings. The pastor and his church have left the CRC, but during the deliberations of Synod 2019, several delegates gave testimony that the pastor was not the only one sympathetic to kinist theology. They commented they knew other CRC members who warmed to kinist ideas.
Bret responds,
1.) Reggie here tells a lie in the second sentence above. I was the person to which he is referring. However, the lie here is that I was a CRC pastor. I was NEVER an ordained Pastor in the CRCNA. I was someone serving as stated supply the whole time I pastored with a church that itself was never a particular church in the CRCNA. So, when Reggie says “A CRC pastor had been teaching Kinism,” he is just lying since I was never ever a CRC pastor, according to their own book of Church Order.
2.) It is a lie that “Several attempts to deal with it through ecclesiastical means were used” to stop me from my Kinism. Not one person had a discussion with me on the subject before or after my departure. Nobody contacted me privately. There was one Classis where the BCO (Book of Church Order) was NOT followed and where something nebulous about “racism” was brought up. To this day I have no idea what they were talking about at that particular Classis meeting.
3.) Since I was never a Pastor of a CRC particular church, nor even a Pastor at all in a CRCNA church I’m completely unsure how anybody could tie the CRCNA to my Kinist (Christian) convictions.
The problem here is that the CRCNA dropped the ball. They allowed me to serve a mission church in their denomination without being ordained for over 25 years without making sure that I was a Liberal-tard like the rest of the clergy in the CRCNA.
4.) I very seriously doubt that there were any Kinists in the CRCNA. If there were or are they never made themselves known to me. The CRCNA is filled with lib-tards like Reggie Smith.
It should be said here that to a heretic Christian orthodoxy is going to be accused of being heretical. That the CRCNA has labeled Kinism to be heretical only proves that the CRCNA as a heretical denomination accused Christian orthodoxy of being heretical.
If Kinism is heretical … if I am a heretic … then Kinism and I as a Kinist are heretics together with all the Church Fathers throughout Christian history excepting the Levelers in history.
