Alright … I just completed Rev. Drew Poplin’s “The Canvas of Creation; A Biblical Response to the Heresy of Racial Superiority”
All I can say is;
Rev. Poplin, what you’ve written is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent text were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Below find random interaction. It would take a 500 page book to thoroughly expose this 55 page tract. Much of this will be done by quoting random Poplin quotes and then interacting a wee bit.
___
“If the idea of race is limited to focusing on the colors of the canvas, then ethnicity involves the currency paid for the paint (tribes), what stores the paint came from (peoples), and how the paints are going to be applied to the canvas (languages). The Kinist likes to point out – just like every other atheistic sociologist – the great differences between American sub-cultures in order to legitimize his claim that blacks and whites and every shade in between are different ethnicities. It is doubtful that these ‘sub-cultures’ are really as foundationally different as the Kinists exaggerated claims.”
The Canvas of Creation – p. 12
I will name my next born child after the person who can tell me what the Hades the above even means.
1.) No Kinist limits the idea of race to a focus on color. Indeed, most Kinists would say that color is the least important reality concerning race.
2.) I literally have ZERO idea what the cute little metaphor is supposed to mean. I have read and re-read that part and to me that is all gobbledygook. I would say though that because Drewski Poplin is so completely confused on the categories of Race, ethnicity, nation, tribes, and families his whole effort is cornholed from the beginning.
3.) I recommend that Drewski attend a Black church meeting in the deep south and compare it to a Presbyterian meeting… or he could examine the difference between the work ethic of your average white man and the work ethic of your average black man…. or he could he could look at the bastardy rate compared to black and white subcultures if he wants to see the substantive differences between races/ sub-cultures.
4.) Poplin talks about the differences between Normans, Anglos, and Saxons. Someone needs to clue Rev. Drewski that Anglos and Saxons while being different ethnicities belonged to the same race of men. They were all sons of Japheth via Japheth’s son Gomer.
___
OK… so Rev. Drewski Poplin appeals to the perspicuity of Natural Law to make his case. This is the same Natural Law that Stephen Wolfe and Cody Justice are always insisting is perspicuous. Which is also the same Natural law that David Van Drunen and R. Scott Clark insists is perspicuous. Yet if you put all these chaps in the same bag you’d have a three way war and that right quickly over the meaning of Natural Law.
Thomistic Natural Law is a Myth.
____
After reading the first 25% of Rev. Drewski Poplin’s book on race, I can only conclude that not only is Drewski of a different race than myself. He also is from a different planet than myself. I think he is from planet Dumbarseolia.
___
“The Kinist believes that certain persons are prone to particular sins by virtue of their race — they simply cannot help it.”
The Canvas of Creation – p. 17
LOL … yeah, guilty as charged. We believe in such a thing as genetics. We can’t help it. We are genetically prone to thinking that red hair, blue eyes, long legs, short tempers, a predilection to diffidence, and even propensity to like booze are all realities that can be passed on genetically.
Look, genetics play a substantial and well-documented role in addiction, including alcohol, nicotine, opioids, cocaine, cannabis, and other substances. Twin, family, and adoption studies show that – 40%-60% of the risk for developing any substance use disorder (SUD) is heritable, with the rest due to other factors. Further genetics play a moderate but real role in violent tendencies, accounting for 40% – 60% of the variance in aggressive an antisocial behavior, according to twin, adoption, and molecular genetic studies. Finally, genetics play a modest but real role in lying and deception, accounting for 20%-40% of the variance in trait dishonesty (i.e., habitual lying or cheating), according to twin and molecular studies.
Better call a church council to excommunicate us Drewski.
____
“The commands for strict separation between Israel and the surrounding nations were religious, not racial; and ceremonial not permanent.”
The Canvas of Creation – p. 18
If this is so then why did Ezra and Nehemiah send the covenant children away with the the foreign wives? Clearly it is because the covenant children were not of the Hebrew people. It was racial and not merely religious.
As to “ceremonial and not permanent” … well, that’s just Drewski’s opinion.
____
“Kinism claims that it is wrong for one race to intermix w/ another…”
The Canvas of Creation – p. 20
Now, as I am the oft described “King of the Kinists” by my enemies I condescend to inform Drewski that not all Kinists say it is wrong or even a sin for one race to intermix with another. Certainly, some might say that but most of my Kinist subjects ( 
) would merely claim that it is normatively unwise for one race to intermix with another.
Most people, not from the planet Drewski if from would understand the difference between Drewski’s claim about Kinists and the “King of the Kinists” claim about Kinists.
This is just more strawman material and it’s pretty close to libel and slander.
_____
“We are called to love our neighbor, which is the summary of the second table of the law. Our Master goes great lengths to teach that our neighbors includes those who are racially and religiously different from us.”
Canvas of Creation – p. 21
Yes, we are called to love our neighbor. Yes that includes neighbors of other religions and races. However, loving our neighbors doesn’t necessarily translate into marrying and bedding our neighbor. Salvation does not imply copulation.

____
File Under: Wherein Drewski reveals he really is a Kinist underneath it all.
“If a group of children are skating on a frozen lake and the ice breaks, just because the father first saves his daughter does not means he hates the other children; and after he has rescued her, he will doubtless go after the others if no one else has already.”
Canvas of Creation – p. 22
BEHOLD KINISM.
_____
“In many ways, Kinism has crept up as an over-reaction to the popularization of Critical Race Theory, which is philosophically driven by envy. But in doing so, the Race Realist has replaced envy with boasting and makes the same error as the Critical Race theorist: everything has become about power and domination on the grounds of characteristics over which we have no control. This is not love, and is therefore, directly contrary to the whole law of God.”
Canvas of Creation – p. 23
1.) Truth be told, Kinism has crept up as a result of the ongoing attempt to destroy and replace the Christian white man. Kinism, is a natural defense mechanism against the attempt to totally subjugate, enslave, and destroy the white man…. particularly the Christian white man. It is hard to imagine it being possible to over-react to the threat of being destroyed. In brief Kinism is the natural auto-immune response to the attempt to be genocide-ed. Without Kinism, there would be virtually no response of defense or self protection existent.
2.) The Kinist does not boast any more or less than the Apostle Paul did when he listed his Hebrew bona fides (Philippians 3:5f).
3.) The White Kinists have no desire to dominate anywhere but in the lands his fathers settled, tamed, and built. The White Christian Kinists wish the best for their black, brown, red, and yellow Christian Kinists in their own respective homelands. Drewski is just in error here (but we are used to that).
4.) What is contrary to the Law of God is Drewski’s constant violation of the 9th commandment.
______
And it is this Gospel that corrects the strongholds of malice and bitterness that comprise the Kinist philosophy.”
Canvas of Creation – p. 25
LOL… I know a ton of Kinists. They are the most kind, good humored, humorous, intelligent and forgiving people you’d ever want to meet. They merely do not believe that Scripture creates a death cult that requires them to support their destruction.
However, it is true that we are particularly malicious towards all things that smell of sulfur.
____
“The Word did not assume a race, but a nature; therefore, race is not essential but circumstantial, to what it means to be human.”
Canvas of Creation – p. 26
However, it is not true. The Word did not assume a race? Someone better cut out all that Scripture that teaches that the Messiah had to be born of the house of David. If born of the House of David was a necessity then being of the race of Shem (sorry all you Anglo-Israelis) was absolutely required. So, quite to the contrary of what Drewski asserts the Word not only assumed a nature but He also assumed a race … a race that He still belongs to.
Race is essential to what it means to be human, just as gender is essential to what it means to be human.
Poplin is an idiot.
____
I think Drew Poplin’s middle name is “Strawman.” Rev. Drew Strawman Poplin. Remember to say it with respect and deference worthy of clergy.
____
Can you pin the tail on the contradiction?
1.) “If a group of children are skating on a frozen lake and the ice breaks, just because the father first saves his daughter does not means he hates the other children; and after he has rescued her, he will doubtless go after the others if no one else has already.”
Canvas of Creation – p. 22
2.) “Kinists claim that there should be no intermingling of races AND that we should show partiality to those who are our own flesh and blood. Our Elder Brother (Jesus) does the opposite of the former, and rejects the reasoning of the latter.”
Which is it Drewski? Will you save your daughter or will you follow the dictates of our “Elder Brother?” Decide quick… your daughter is drowning.
____
“Kinism would perpetuate divisions, but the work of Christ brings together the breaches caused by sin.”
Canvas of Creation – p. 28
Scripture teaches that the distinctions that Kinism advocates for are perpetual. Rev. 21 speaks repeatedly of the nations. The distinction of nations is a distinction that exists for eternity. The same is true for race and even for families. For eternity I will be a McAtee. Entering into glory will not change that. The reason that this distinction remains (not division as the idiot Poplin insists upon) is that it is neither a breach caused by sin, nor are these distinctions sinful.
In Drewski’s version of “Christianity” Christ brings together what Drewski calls “breaches caused by sin,” with the inevitable result that Drewski’s Christianity yields a Christianity that has the same characteristics that they were aiming at in the Tower of Babel project.
Drewski, would give us a “Christian” New World Order where all colors bleed into one. Drewski and his ilk are opposed to Sauron’s NWO, but are damned determined to build Sauraman’s NWO.
It’s all heretical and it is going to get all killed. These are the stakes.
____
“Our greatest affinity is not the natural affinity of blood and soil, but of Spirit and truth.”
Canvas of Creation – p. 32
This is one example of what I mean by Drew’s middle name being “Strawman.” No Kinist denies that our greatest affinity is our affinity of Spirit and truth (with those we share a common faith). However, Kinists would say the closest affinity is with those with whom we share the Spirit and truth while also sharing a common blood and soil.
____
Drewski insists that Kinists are a fearful lot. He insists that the fear they have is of being “replaced.” Drewski says this fear is sin and we Kinists should just trust God. Would Drewski say that fear of going hungry is sin and we should just trust God AND not plant a garden? The fear that the Kinist has of replacement theory is a fear that is driving them to take the action warranted in order to cast aside that fear. So, do we Kinist have fear? Yes, and it is as appropriate as having a fear of sinning, or a fear of drowning when our ship goes down and we are floating on some isolated refuse of our now sunk ship.
Now, this fear is not all consuming. It is the kind of fear that causes us to raise our voice in warning about “Demographics being destiny.” It is the kind of fear that keeps one from walking in front of a Semi-truck. It is the kind of fear that keeps one from marrying a loose woman. Some would call what Drewski calls “fear,” “wisdom.”
___
Drewski says the rise of Kinism is explained by three factors;
3.) Father hunger
I say the rise of Alienism (opposite of Kinism) is explained by four factors;
4.) Turning the Christian faith into a death cult
I charge Drewski with being guilty of fearing Kinism as evidenced by the writing of this book. In this book I see all kinds of bitterness as evidenced by the slander and libel against Kinists. Finally, I see Drewski being consumed with Father hunger as this book was obviously written in order to earn the approval of chaps like Benjamin Glaser, Brad Isbell, and Nathan Eshelman.
____
I can’t believe, for the life of me, that the movers and shakers in the RPCNA read this book and said to themselves … “Yeah, we need to print this ‘masterpiece.'” This volume not only screams how lacking Rev. Drew Poplin is but it screams that every person who read this before publication (clergy and non-clergy alike) are infinitely jejune. This book is an indictment against the whole ruddy RPCNA denomination.
