Carlos, Tim, and Hiram discuss whether it’s appropriate for Christians to vote for non-Christians, Trump, or Biden; how to avoid gagging at gnats while swallowing camels; discernment and the media; the 2020 presidential debates and town halls; the Supreme Court and Amy Coney Barrett; China; the Coronavirus COVID-19; and more!

From Tim:

The leftist media and politicians want you to believe that Trump is a racist but that is a lie. Unfortunately, I’ve seen lots of people level this charge because they believe the lie. Most of this stems from Charlottesville. Critics say he referred to white supremacists and neo-Nazis as “very fine people.” It’s hard to believe that people are still spreading that lie.

Here is an honest breakdown of the Charlottesville speech:

Here is the original clip so you can fact-check it for yourself:

During the presidential debate, Trump was asked to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and as the question was being asked, he, without hesitation, said, “Sure.”

Folks, that is a condemnation!

He then said, “Sure, I’m willing to do that,” and drew attention to the reality that mob violence in the cities primarily comes from Antifa and the radical left. He later said, “What do you want me to call them? Give me a name.”

While Trump was trying to engage honestly, the “moderator” Chris Wallace and Biden were playing gotcha. He got sidetracked because of the dishonesty in the question.

First, the question carried the assumption that he hasn’t already and repeatedly condemned white supremacy. Here is a montage of him doing just that:

Secondly, the question carried the assumption that the violence is being perpetrated by the far right. That’s what Trump took issue with and unfortunately got sidetracked.

Here is what an honest moderate would have said:

“Mr. Biden, we’ve heard Trump repeatedly condemn white supremacists, neo-Nazis and the KKK. Trump has gone so far as to designate the KKK as a terrorist organization. Yet, you have falsely accused him of not condemning these groups while also pushing the Charlottesville lie repeatedly and have not been willing to condemn Antifa and the radical left. Are you willing to stop lying about your opponent and condemn Antifa?”

That would have been an honest, appropriate question to ask, but what is a political hack like Wallace to do?

You should also remember that while Trump has gone to great lengths to condemn these hateful groups it was Biden who said Antifa is an idea, not an organization. And he got away with it!

Tim and Hiram talk about whether or not Christians should be supporting Black Lives Matter. Of course both the host believe that black lives do matter because black people are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. Tune in to find out why they take issue with the organization and the support it receives from Christians.

First, it must be contented that the only worldview that can give any meaning to the claim that black lives matter is the Christian worldview. Yet, the BLM organization and it’s leaders are operating from an anti-Christian cultural Marxist worldview. They promote deceptive lies such as white privilege, white guilt, and redefine terms.

The notions of “white privilege” and “white guilt” commit the fallacy of sweeping generalization and are actually rooted in Anti-Christian Marxist ideology that is meant to divide people into classes of oppressed and oppressor.

The idea that white people don’t see it because they are white commits the genetic fallacy.

There is no epistemological foundation by which one can establish the premise of white privilege or white guilt. If one wishes to appeal to a limited set of particular examples in order to substantiate these generalizations then they are committing the fallacy of induction.

Therefore, they are merely assertions that are grounded in fallacious reasoning which consequently result in an indictment of a whole group of people on the basis of their skin color.

As Christians we should have a Christian worldview. Christianity is a system of truth and the Bible alone is its objective standard. This means that as Christians we should be able to reason with each other and arrive at the same conclusions. It greatly concerns us that this is not happening amongst Christian brothers and sisters over this current cultural crisis. Instead of turning to God’s word many in the church are turning to Anti-Christian Marxist ideology. They are embracing what has become known as cultural Marxism.

See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. - Colossians 2:8
