Marxist Brain Trust Gathers at Wheaton to
Discuss Moving Evangelicals Left

It’s no secret that the Communist Party intentionally
infiltrated the so-called “black church” (an abominable term indeed, in a
Biblical worldview that refuses to view people through a racial construct, which
is forbidden in places like Galatians
3:28, Romans
3:29, Colossians
3:11) during the Civil Rights Movement. This historic reality has been
written about in no shortage of academic journals, dissertations, and books from
both that time period and beyond, with the
Communist Party USA boldly and publicly proclaiming their influence
in the “black church” to have been pivotal in their success. With the Marxist
invention of Liberation Theology, combined with the tenets of Rauschenbuschism,
foreign globalist forces were able to successfully change the trajectory of many
once-solid, vibrant and thriving churches comprised primarily of people of
color. The consequences of adding Liberation
Theology and the social gospel to those churches is on full display
before us, and the results are nothing less than tragic. What is less known is
that globalist and Marxist billionaire financiers are continuing to influence
American religion in the desire of changing American politics, although this
time – with the “black church” left in a historical heap behind them – they have
chosen a new stream of evangelical thought through which to push their purely
political agenda.
Seeing the rising Reformed Resurgence and its massive influence in
evangelicalism – of which people like myself are debtors (I am a 5-point
Calvinist and my church confession is the 1689 London Baptist Confession) –
globalist strategical thinkers saw a unique opportunity to capitalize (pun
intended) on co-opting and commandeering a movement that, if they could turn it
political, might turn the tide of America toward their progressive plans. It is
no secret that evangelical America is the last remaining demographic standing
between the preservation of American culture and globalist progressivism. If
that demographic could be changed or swayed, then the victory of the American
left – and by vicarious accomplishment, international globalism – would all be
assured. The margins between the left and right are so tight, any subtle shift
in traditionally conservative American thought would result in the largest
paradigm shift of political power in American history.
It is no mistake, as Pulpit & Pen has thoroughly covered, evangelical “thought
leaders” among the pseudo-Reformed camp known as “New
Calvinism” have been the financial recipients of millions of dollars
from globalist and Marxist financiers, George
Soros and James
Riady. With Soros
funding Russell Moore and Matt Chandler’s Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT)
– an organization actually belonging to Soros himself – and with James
Riady funding Westminster Philadelphia, Reformed Theological Seminary (RTS) and
Ligon Duncan, and other religious institutions like Biola University
and Ouachita Baptist University, it should be apparent that some kind of quid
pro quo exists. Riady’s influence in particular is far and wide in American
religious institutions, and particular among New Calvinists, and the gobs of
cash he’s giving them is reportedly surpassing unheard of levels. And in spite
of Riady being known primarily as the head of corruption during the Clinton
Campaign Finance Scandal, in spite of him being kicked out of the country for
trying to affect American politics with piles of international cash, and in
spite of Riady still funding the Clinton Global Initiative and the Bill, Hillary
and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, leaders like Ligon Duncan still readily receive
his cash, the Gospel Coalition promotes his Indonesian school on the cyber-pages
of their blog, and his wife and children still speak at New Calvinist
institutions in the place of their father, who cannot return to the country.
Make no mistake about it, the Evangelical Intelligentsia – which we have
defined here –
are well-funded by foreign political interests. In the name of “repentance,”
these evangelical leaders are promoting purely Marxist ideological inventions
like Critical
Race Theory, White Guilt, Intersectionality,
and Cultural
Marxism during 2018’s White Guilt and Gospel-Redefinition Apology
Tour that took place last week at Together
for the Gospel and the week before that, the MLK50 event hosted by The
Gospel Coalition and the ERLC. It’s not conspiracy theory; it’s
conspiracy facts. Consult the hyper-links provided and see the primary sources
with your own eyes. The fact is that these evangelical leaders who all suddenly,
mysteriously, and with suspiciously coordinated timing who came to “repentance”
on the issue of race (proposing the social gospel, which they have renamed
“social justice”) have taken money from Soros and Riady. It is up to your
gullible, incredibly naive judgment if you choose to determine that Soros and
Riady are simultaneously funding a globalist-Marxist strategy worldwide while
funding a certain stream of American religious thought out of the contriteness
of their heart.
In the meantime, these same evangelical “thought leaders” – aka the Evangelical
Intelligentsia (EI) – have gathered at Wheaton College to discuss how to shift
evangelicals away from supporting conservative politics in the name of “saving
evangelicalism.” Yesterday and today – April 16 and April 17, 2018 – these
leaders are in a closed-door meeting that, according
to the Washington Post, was organized by avowed
Marxist and Gospel Coalition co-founder, Tim Keller. Approximately 50
such leaders from the EI are discussing the best ways to shift evangelicals away
from supporting conservatism, and they include Keller, Ed Stetzer, A.R. Bernard
(the pastor who very
publicly resigned from Trump’s faith advisory panel over Trump’s lack
of political correctness following the Charlottesville race riot), Doug Birdsall
(an honorary chair of the rabidly globalist and pro-Roman Catholic Lausanne
Committee for World Evangelization, which you can read about in E.S. William’s
book, here),
Jenny Yang of World Relief (which signed
a public statement condemning President Trump over his enforcement of
U.S. immigration law regarding the “Dreamers”) Bishop Claude Alexander (who signed
a letter from evangelicals condemning Trump, using the ideology of
Critical Race Theory to do so), Mark Labberton of Fuller Seminary (who wrote a
book, Still
Evangelical?, which is a collection of essays encouraging
evangelicals to abandon their title for the sake of not alienating the political
left), Jo Anne Lyon of the Wesleyan Church (who is a
part of Evangelicals for Social Action, along with other progressives
like Rachel Held Evans), and Gabriel Salguero of the National Latino Evangelical
Association (who, as you would expect, has
written articles in places like the New York Times encouraging
evangelicals to go politically left if they desire to coalesce with Hispanic
believers).
Absent from this meeting of 50 progressive evangelical believers – and notably
so – are evangelical conservatives. As OneNewsNow
reported, conservatives are “personae non gratae” at the event. When
asked by the Christian
Post why leaders like Franklin Graham and Robert Jeffress were not
invited, an event organizer said, “I don’t think they are globally perceived as
evangelical thought leaders by virtue of what they have written or by virtue of
the values that are reflected in their public statements.”
In other words, conservatives need not apply. To be a “thought leader” to the
Evangelical Intelligentsia, you must be a globalist and a political progressive.
Any less is perceived as being sub-intellectual.
While Tim Keller and the elites at Wheaton are advertising their event as a way
to “save evangelicalism” from politics, they are betraying the public by the
omission of the fact that they are all – all
of them, as the list we’ve cited above demonstrates – fully devoted
to a hostile takeover of American politics. This is not an evangelical event at
Wheaton; this is a political
event. Their goal is not to save evangelicalism, but to form a brain
trust by which they steer evangelicalism to the left. The lie is a sinister one,
and implies they’re politically disinterested. Keller and company are not
politically disinterested and they are not politically disinvested. And while
Graham and Jeffress are certainly “political,” they are no less political than
the globalist and Marxist political activists who have gathered to discuss how
to affect political change in evangelicalism.
