My love For the Church Compels Me to EXPOSE THIS!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Today on the Vince Evord Ellison Show, We're gonna talk
about how the black preachers in America have lost their
mind since the Democrats lost this election in twenty twenty four,
and we're gonna tell you why they're doing it today
on the Best ever Eleison Show.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
All right, let's get.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
This thing started. You know, in my book, the Iron
Triangle right here, I don't know it's right here, right here,
Iron Triangle I started out with a definitive statement from
President Lyndon Baines Johnson. Now, all black people think Lyndon

(00:59):
Bange Johnson was signed the nineteen sixty four Civil Rights Act,
signed the nineteen sixty five Voting Rights Actor. He had
Martin Luther King Junior up in the Oval Office. He
was a champion of black folks and civil rights. Well
in the Iron Triangle that start out with this statement,

(01:20):
Old London was everything y'all thought he was. Yeah, Old
London had other motives. So what he was doing. Here's
what Lindon said. These negroes, they are getting pretty up
inty these days. Now we gotta do something about this.
We gotta give him a little something, just enough to

(01:41):
quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. Then
he said I'll have them inwards, and he didn't say
in words, I'll have them in the words voting democrat
for the next two hundred years. Held, Jay, I have
them in words, voting democrat for the next two hundred years. Well,

(02:07):
he close to it. He's been doing it now for
at least almost the last sixty five Well, actually, hell,
they've been doing it since well, LBJ said in nineteen
sixty four. So yeah, he's been doing it for at
least the last sixty years. Two thirds, so he's aid

(02:30):
the third of the way there.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
And what it was.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Lbj's biggest asset and getting this done the Black Preacher.
That's why he kept Martin, Luther, King Jr. Ralph Ibernathy
and all of them Jumbles at the White House all
the time, because he understood the magic that the black
preacher had over the Black society. I wrote about this

(02:57):
in my book. Theyron Triangle wrote about it in depth.
And they've done a lot of damage to the Black
community into Christianity since they've started on this suicideal quest
of merging Marxist politics and the Christian religion. And they've
made it apostate. But they've just destroyed the black community.

(03:20):
And they're saying forced be ahead, because right now they
are still taking the cues from their masters. They're still
taking orders from their masters, and they've been doing it
for the last since slavery. In the book that ireon
trying to to talk about it. And it's interesting because C. S.

(03:42):
Lewis talked about this fallacy we have and trying to
get these preachers to do things that they are not
set up to do. He says in his classic masterpiece
Mere Christianity, and I'm reading from the Iron Triangle, he said,
people say the church are to give us lead. That

(04:04):
we always say that is true if they mean in
the right way, but false if they mean it in
the wrong way. But of course when they ask for
a lead from the church, most people mean they want
the clergy to put out a political program, a political program.

(04:25):
See s Lewis says, this is silly. The clergy are
not those particular people within the whole church who have
been spatially trained and set aside to look after what
concerns us as creatures who are going to live forever,
and are asking them to do quite a different job
which they have not been trained, he said, the clergy

(04:50):
have been specially trained and set aside to look after
what concerns us as creatures who are going to live forever.
We're asking them to do something completely different. The job
is really on us, the layman. The application of Christian
principles they follow on us. So we've been asking preachers

(05:16):
to do things that preachers are not capable of doing.
And it's been quite obvious because they have been absolute failures.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
So now.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
After they had been successful with Trayvonn Martin, Michael Brown
and Black Lives Matter, now they're trying to get us
all crazy hot and bothered overdi diversity, equity and inclusion

(05:57):
or maybe didn't earn it. And because many of us,
myself included, has come out and we've criticized the quote
unquote Black church for being so political and so a

(06:18):
moral and so apostate and a working on other Democratic party,
many of the black people preachers now are starting to
buck and they started trying to fight back, and they
go with this old canard, Uncle Tom uh a fight
for the white man. Uh fights the white suprince. And

(06:39):
you said, holy wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
wait wait, fight for the white man.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
What the hell was your biden? Who?

Speaker 3 (06:51):
What?

Speaker 2 (06:51):
What is? What is? What is your sorrows? What are
the preskiers in the disneys? Oh?

Speaker 1 (06:59):
I don't know Joe biam was black. I ain't know
the priskers were black. I ain't know the disneys and
all the rest of them were black. I didn't know that.
Maybe I ain't gonna borrow some money from them.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
They're crazy.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Ever since slavery, the black preacher has been a part
of the Democratic Party and the master class.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh you don't believe it, let me read it to you.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Democrat Party has always been controlled of the Black preacher.
Here it says, and this is from his book The
Negro Problem in America from Gunna Murdaun. He said, with
a few exceptions, the Negro slaves brought to America had
not been converted to Christianity for nearly a century. Many

(07:51):
slave holders reluctant to let the Negro slaves receive any
religious instruction, and there was a belief that a baptized
Christian could not be held as a slave. But when
theologians and when courts declared around the year seventeen hundred
that conversion to Christianity was not incompatible with the worldly
status of a slave. Slaveholders went out of their way

(08:14):
to provide a religious teaching and place of worship for
their slaves, or at least did nothing to hinder any
missionary work among them. Their primary motive, undoubtedly, was that
the Christian religion, as it was expounded, suited their interest
in keeping the slaves humble, meek, and obedient. Undoubtedly, the

(08:37):
great bulk of the southern Negro preachers advocated complete acceptance
of slave status. When they could see one of their
own number, the preacher, rise above the level of slavehood
and even occasionally be admired by white people. The slaves

(08:57):
on the plantation could regard the Negro preacher as their leader,
one who could go to white to the white master
and beg for trivial favors. One who could go to
the white master and beg and beg.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
For trivial favors.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
In practically all rural areas and in many of the
urban ones, the preacher stood out as the acknowledged local
leader of the Negroes. His function became to transmit the
white wishes, the whites wishes to the negroes, and to
beg the whites for favors for his people, beg the

(09:43):
whites for favors for his people. He became, in our terminology,
the typical accommodating negro leader. To this degree, the Negro
Church perpetual the traditions of slavery. How Lord, Lord, and Lord,

(10:08):
and Lord and Lord and Lord and lord. To this degree,
the Negro Church perpetuated the traditions of slavery. Just in
case you didn't hear me, let me read that again.
To this degree, the Negro Church perpetuated the traditions of slavery.

(10:42):
Paul's for effect, the accommodating negro black reacher. There's nothing

(11:04):
new under the sun. There's nothing new under the sign.
There were democrats, then they're democrats. Now they were accommodating,
Then they're accommodating.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Now they're the same. Then they're the same now.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
And right now the Democratic Party's giving them their marching orders,
and one of them marching orders is to try to
take down people like us. They want to say things like,
we don't love the Black Church, so we don't have
a right to correct it, or the same thing against it.
Matter of fact, it's my love for the church, black, white, red, green,

(11:54):
whatever that has me stand up here and do this
podcast everything, because chu church is not a.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Church.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Are the assembly of people the professor belief in Jesus
Christ and and have agreed to obey his commandments and
bring disciples to him. It's my love for the church

(12:22):
that gives me the bravery to stand up before you
and look here and eye and call you a postate,
call you a liar, and believe me y'all hit dog
a holler. So when I woke got up in and
say that, you know when my father told me, Vince,
I've always thought you to to believe in God and
to love the church. But the black preacher, you trust

(12:44):
the bootlegger before you trust a black preacher. They are
the worst people in American society. I found that to
be true. Man, when I started studying by Martin Luther King,
Julian now suckers like a monkey with a machine gun.
He was out there doing all out an ignorant mess,

(13:07):
took us having orgies, fighting ranking outside children, Uh, pedophilia.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
It was just.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Out of my house on steroids. And you come to
find out these yards well or not an anomaly that
when you look at the condition of black people, that
verifies These suckers are no good and when you call
them out, they got to come out and defend their
way of life and the way they make a living.

(13:42):
So me, people like me, we become a problem. Shout
out to my good friend April Chapman for hitting one
hundred thousand subscribers past week. There's a monumental achievement on
the zero zero point five percent of YouTubers get there.

(14:03):
That means she's at the top Esceelon of all YouTubers
in the world. She did it, do hard work and grit.
They coming down on her because she just tells the truth.
I mean, you know, you become your enemy when you
tell them the truth. Shout out to tv USA Faith
at a great, great function uh this past week. This
is why we didn't have a lot of content out

(14:24):
last week because we were down at the summit down
at TPUSA held in Gainesville, Georgia. Great great information, good
people I met down there, spent three days down there.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
The people down there, awesome Blacksit is gonna hold a.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
And an event in Atlanta at the Embassy Church, Bishop
Harden's Church. It's gonna be on the fifth of April.
I'm gonna be just speaking along with Bishop of Hardened
and some more. It's gonna be free admission. Y'all come
down there and check it out. We're gonna have a
great time down there at Black sit in Atlanta April fifth,
down at the Embassy Church, Bishop Harden's Church, Great Man

(15:04):
of God, and we're gonna go down there and we're
gonna try to wipe the people up.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
So I'm gonna be doing a whole lot of traveling around.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Also, I'm gonna be at the College Others, the Quoias,
California on the thirtieth. I'm going to be at the
Iowa State University on the seventh of April. Then I'm
gonna be down at South Alabama, think around about the
seventeenth of April.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah, we gonna go around. I'm going around.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
I ain't stopping, can't stop, won't stop, don't know how
to stop, because we're gonna tell the truth. And since
the black preachers won't do it, since the black politicians
won't do it, since the black civil rights workers won't
do it, since the business class won't do it, and
the professors won't do it.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Just like David Well, he.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Was sitting out their hand go lives talk about God
in front of all of these mighty men with all
these fears and all of this armor. And David said,
who are you guys out here letting this uncircumcised philistine
talk about our God like that? They are sitting back scared.
So like David, I'm picking up my rocks. It says
they won't do it, and it's their job to do it.

(16:08):
Me asn't, layman, I'll do it, Gonna crack some skulls.
And with these girly men in the pulpit crying in
the corner like soy boys, it won't be a problem.
They're not leaders of men. Most of their churches in
our field with women. You know why, cos men won't
follow them.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
We a't. Men ain't gona fall behind.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
No punks walking around there with tight pants on and
pastel colored suits, sliding and screaming and dancing like a
bunch of democrats. It's amazing to watch all the standards

(16:56):
are falling. So now these idiots out there trying to
board thot.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
Target as Christians across the country and around the world
mark the start of let many observers give up things
like suitees or vices or bad habits. The one prominent
Georgia pastor is calling for a different type of fast,
and that is to not shop at Target for the
next forty days. The move is in response to the
retail giant's decision to revoke its diversity, equity and inclusion

(17:25):
initiatives after President Trump ordered DEI to be removed from
federal agencies and after a Supreme Court ruling related to
the topic. Other Fortune five hundred companies, including Amazon and Walmart,
and CBS News's parent company, Paramount, have made similar moves.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Forty is the benchmark, It is not the finish line,
and so at the end of the forty days, we
will recalibrate, see where it is that we are, send
our data to the board at Target, and if they
don't respond, we'll go another forty.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
The pastor's calls are being received by members of his
church going community. Absolutely right.

Speaker 5 (18:01):
Because Target doesn't appreciate us, why should we give them
over finances. I totally support his fast. I am not
with companies who are not inclusive of everyone, and like
I said before, I totally support it. I am going
to participate in it, and I was gonna do it
anyway before he even.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Called for that fast, Let them share what they've done. So, yes,
stupid they are. So they tell black people not to
go to Target, right, So the ignorant black classes, I
ain't gonna Target.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
All right. Target has things on the shelves.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Exclusively for black people, black hair, black skin, make up
and whatnot. Maybe African print, things that black people like
to buy. Maybe certain foods that black people like to eat,
you know, chiplins and pork, stuff like that. Well, you

(19:12):
stop buying that, so you stop going there. What happens
that stuff stops selling, and the algorithm that determines what
people buy at Target tells Target send this stuff back
and don't order anymore. So guess who's hurting you? Got it?
Black businesses? Yeah, Shearlot Einstein. You ignorant preachers who should

(19:39):
stay in your lane and stay into theology, got involved
in economics, and you're hurting your own people with your
ignorant boll I tell you, I wish I could cuss.
I promised my daddy I started doing so much cussing
on the show. But sometimes you gotta let it rip.

(20:03):
To call you got stupid is an insult to stupid people.
And you got the nerve to wanna try to tell
somebody that you can't criticize the Black Church because the
Black Church has done so much for black people. Got
it in the past, Tense, You're right the Black Church

(20:24):
has done because they ain't hardly doing anything now supporting LGBTQ.
No good andwell that our Bible told told us to
honor our father and our mother. Did you say to
honor your father and your father, your mama and your mama. No,

(20:49):
honor your father and your mother, so your life shall
be long on this earth.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
He said.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
For this reason, God told the man to leave his
mother and his father and cleave to his wife.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Did they say clean to his husband? No?

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Out there supporting abortion up till the ninth month and
even now the child is born.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Yeah. The born Alive bill you heard of it.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Born Alive Bill was a bill passed by the House
last year say that if a child happened to survive
in abortion, the doctor to render has to render aid
to the child. All the Democrats have two or three
voted against it in the House, but it passed.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Send it to the Senate.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Chuck Schuman, who was over the Senate right then, when
even hear it, let him die. And even now when
the House passes it again, if they send it to
the Senate, the Senate's gonna filibuster. The Democrats are not
gonna filibusterrit They're gonna need sixty votes to get it
to a floor vote. And I bet you Chuck Schumer
gonna tell the Democrats a filibuster. Let him die. Black

(21:59):
preachers thought that right now, Poe just came out that
America is one of the most unhappiest countries in the world.
You would think that with everything these children got in
America today they be the happiest. Now, no, no, no, no,

(22:22):
no unhappiest. Let me feed I'm gonna reach you that
happiest countries in the world. Number one is Finland. Number
two is Denmark. Three is Iceland. Well, how can you
be happy in Iceland? But they are number four Sweden.
Number five is the Netherlands. Number six is Costa Rica. Yeah,
Costa Rica. Number seven is Norway. Number eight is Israel.

(22:42):
All that fighting in Israel and they happen than we are.
Ain't that something you think that all the war going
on in the Israel. Israel got like three wars going
on at the same time, and the people are number
at number eight, you know, wa because they got God.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Number nine is Luxembourg.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Number ten is what they happening in Mexico to the
you know what, drug cartels running all over the place,
killing folks, nass grades, and they are happier in Mexico
than they are here in the United States of America.
Mexico is number ten, Australia is number eleven. New Zealand
is number twelve. Switzerland's number thirteen, Switzerland's number thirteen.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
What's all this name?

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Then you got a Lithuania, Lithuanian Austria. Canada is happier,
so Canada and Mexico's happier in America. We between both
of them, Savinia. And then number twenty is the Czech Republic. Boy,

(23:48):
I tell you what that is really humbling. Last only
this is Afghanistan. Then I think like Congo or something
in Mexico is happy in the United States of America

(24:09):
and Canada. You know why the Democratic Party always causes
racial strife, racial hatred. The Black Church causes racial strife,
racial hatred. You have taken the white community an American

(24:31):
you've condemned it, and you've told them that they're not
that they're oppressors, told that children they're oppressed. Suicide, deaths
of depression, suicide, and death by drug abuse drug overdoses
number one and two calls to death between people ages
of eighteen and forty in the United States of America. Yeah,

(24:55):
birth rate is beyond the rate of replacement because unhappy
people don't have children. All of this, y'all, comes from
the Democratic Party, a party of perverts, liars, sycopaths, anti Christian, biggots,
hot bodge, holes, and rappers. I think that you can
put most of the black preachers in all seven of

(25:15):
those categories. Liars, of course, perverts all hell yeah soycopaths,
they believe abortion, anti Christian biggest hell they Marxist.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Dougs.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yeah, holes, I don't need to go no further that.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
And rappers.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Right now, you go to church on Sunday, lotty churches.
You don't know whether you're at the club or where
you're at the church. Them suckers jumping around like they
all on crack, jumping, kicking, spinning dance. And when they leave,
what the preacher preach about today, Hell, I don't know about.
I had a good time, and the church is dying.

(26:13):
In my book twenty five Lives, I talk about how
since they've started on this trend of Marxism, the Black church,
as they call it, is dying. I'm gonna reach you
something from this great book of mine, crime in.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
It says.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Indeed, in his September thirteen, twenty twenty two piece from
the Washington Post title US Christian majority could fade in
coming decades models fines, Bob Smantana says.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
This is what he says.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
If current trends continue, Christians can make up half less
than half of the population as little as a third
in fifty years. Those are among the major findings of
a new report from Pew regarding United States religious future,
a future in which many in which Christianity, though diminished,

(27:15):
persists while non Christian faiths grow a men amid rising secularism.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
Yep, Christianity is dying in America.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Knoware because black preachers ain't no good. And they talked
about black churches and how the black communities dying. This
guy by the name of Elder e Q Trust wrote
studies showed for several decades, church attendance declined in Baptist

(27:50):
churches across America by sixty one percent sixty one percent.
On May twenty twenty one, a new study reported by
Religious News Services reported this is what it said. A
new study from LifeWay Research suggests more Protestant churches closed
in twenty nineteen than opened, continuing a decade long slide

(28:16):
that is only expected to accelerate. Four thousand, five hundred
churches closed, while about three thousand new congregations were started.
Four thousand, five hundred churches closed while about three thousand
new congregations were started, as according to LifeWay Research in

(28:45):
a May twenty six, twenty twenty one study, church is dying,
and it's not dying because of podcast like mine. It
was dying long before I started doing this. This podcast
is a result of the church dying, it's not the

(29:05):
cause of it. I'm entering the bell to try to
tell anybody who's still a good preacher, you need to
start coming out against these no good, lying, shyster preachers
the way Jesus came out against the Sanhedrin, the Sadducees
and Pharisees. You need to start cleaning up your profession

(29:29):
or you're calling whichever one it is. As doctors do
and as lawyers do. Bishop Wooden is doing a very
good job down at his church. Antony Williams does it also,
And I would hope that the quote unquote black church

(29:54):
starts standing up against these no good lyon shyster Democrat
all they black preachers. And let me give you this
absolute again for you to live on, rely on, and
state your life on. This is binary. For me, it's
very very simple. Keep this with you, put it in

(30:18):
your pocket, don't let ever let it go. If your
preacher is affiliated and supports the Democratic Party, he's at
a post state. He's a liar, he's a blasphema, and
you need to run away from that joker as fast
as you possibly can. He's no good. See how easy
that is, It ain't hard at all. If you decide

(30:41):
to stay with him, you've decided that you partake in
as evil and you gonna go to hell right with him.
Just go down to the service station, Go get yourself
some premium gasoline, give the ten to ten dollars, put
it all over yourself and a lot of match, because

(31:03):
that's how it's gonna feel when you go to hell
running behind one of these no good shyster preachers. And
whenever you have a preacher come out and start telling
you to support his church and all of its chicanery,
all of his foolishness, all of this lunacy. If they're

(31:24):
talking about anything except that you Christ crucified and him
being able to save your soul, you get away from him.
If they talking about boy Cotton, they talking about marching,
they're talking about white supremacy, they talking about white privilege. Look, man,
you can't be an Arab of Jesus Christ and be oppressed.
You can't be an Arab of Jesus Christ and be
a victim. People that are talking about, well, you know,

(31:47):
a white supremacy and systemic racism has a whole lot
to do. And you know slavery got a lot to
do with the black people in the black man's mind
being in such a professional state of victimization, I said,
you know what Jesus Christ cares all all that one
of us. Systemic racism, no consequence does, exists, probably, but
it can't touch me.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Why because I'm innoculated. Can't touch me.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
But systemic racism is just what Democratic Party controls all
the systems. The systemic racism can't touch me. Why because
I'm an here of Jesus Christ. I'm a child of God. Segway.
Anti Semitism exists here in America, but the Jews ain't
too much worried about it.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Why because they're protected.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Come out against them if you want to see what happens,
you actually Marl Bowman and Corey Bush about that. Yeah,
powerful people, powerful people. And you got black folks still
begging for the crumbs fall from the table. You know why,
because our black leadership is no good. The black preacher

(32:50):
is no good. Not all of them, the vast majority
of them are no good. Al Sharping is their leader.
And if you got to eat a leader like Al Sharping,
you know they're no good. Most from the black preachers
in America our shop. And that is a shame. That
is a shame that by self should tell you the

(33:13):
poor condition of the Black church when that no good
rascal is the one that's leading it. So it's time
for all of America, not just Black America, all of
America to look at these jokers and laugh at them
and call them exactly who you are. A cabale of ingrates,

(33:35):
a cabal of liars, a cabala hormongers, a cabal of thieves, cabala, drunkards,
dope fiends, pimps, liars, blasphemers. And the tree is known

(33:56):
by the fruit it bears. That's how Jesus writ to say,
you know a false prophet, look.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
At his fruit.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
The fruit is rotten, the tree it came from, It's rotten. American,
most unhappy country in one of the most unhappiest countries
in the world. And Jesus said, my peace, I leave
with you. No peace here, no justice, no peace. Gooden
up in the pool pit every day. Tell you to
hate somebody, be angry, fight, march and then when we

(34:31):
correct it, you don't have a right to correct me.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Mata. Hell with you sticking my nostrils.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
And as much trash as I talk on this podcast
and all the country about you.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
And now why the all ever came up in my
facing in front of me? You know what it cost?
You know how relationship? I want it. Any time you
want it, you call me, I wait for it. I
ain't hard to find.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
And figuratively stretch your damn throat figuratively until then I
am here to wake you up. Harba, did you some
good today? So come join me again for another edition
of The Vince Everett Ellison Show. All right, friends, Vince

(35:37):
Everett Ellison is here. I want you to go to
