The Elephant Room 2 (ER2) controversy has taken a more sinister turn than
expected. I actually had hoped that there would be a clear line drawn after the round table meeting but this is not the case. We knew that T.D. Jakes was NOT preaching a pure gospel. For those of us who have heard Jakes speak, and read the transcript from ER2, you realize that Jakes had hoodwinked (shucked and jived) his way into a broader community. It is no secret that unemployment is high in the African-American community (those that largely support his so-called-ministry), and therefore he needs to continue fleecing because he is not satisfied with the wealth he has already acquired; he wants more money and adoring power!
T.D. Jakes is a master of fast and slick seductive language. He, in the past, and on his current website, deny the essential Christian doctrine of the Trinity. His view is one God playing three different roles or manifestations. He believes in a god that appears in three different "manifestations." He now claims to hold views of a triune God Head, but is not 'comfortable using the word persons but manifestations.'
No one called Jakes on this statement that actually reiterates what he has said in the past. No effort was made to implore Jakes to qualify this statement in determining if he had changed is stance on the trinity, and will change is false teachings of the prosperity gospel that he is famous for–––hence the backlash.
James McDonald and Bryan Loritts are now trying to dismiss Christians who criticize them for the soft handling of Jakes at the round table by labeling them as jealous racist wannabees.
Loritts was invited at the ER2 round table at the last minute in place of Voddie Baucham whom declined the
invite. Loritts in this video has demonstrated outright detestable carnal behavior by implying that some of the detractors really want to be in the inner white circle. What does he really mean? He is implying here that a lot of the people are like field slaves trying to serve in the masters house, but they are not good enough (e.g. Theodore Huskstable). Now, in the future, others will be called racist for not embracing Jakes.
I know that there is racism(I live in Savannah) but we know that the world is under the influence of the wicked one. Christians are not of this this world. Correct? The issue is not a racial one but an issue of truth. I do not think that McDonald and Driscoll demonstrated maturity as leaders neither did they any research because they would have been prepared. But this is just my opinion. You can view and listen for yourselves.
T.D. Jakes Before ER2
