In the video of this post, Pastor Michael Grant summarized the two-hour documentary about David Platt. He also showed clips of sermons by David Platt wherein Platt was teaching CRT and preaching “White privilege.” That is about as far as a pastor can get from teaching the Bible.
Consider a partial quote on Marx’s statement on religion; he placed himself above God:
…”Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.”
[I get from the above that Marx believed that the state could provide reality and real happiness, utopia, for those who had formerly subjected themselves to the illusions of religion. Tell me a preacher can subscribe to such an ideology and preach the Bible? He cannot! The Cultural Marxist preachers are leading their sheep to hell….]

One other very relevant point to consider for understanding the conduct of David Platt in the entire scenario: he is acting like a traditional community activist for Cultural Marxism. Their strategies are founded on lying and manipulation.
Such tactics are incessantly used by Marxists. Read about those in the following linked article about a book written by Saul Alinsky, the mentor of Obama and H Clinton. In the article, you will learn that Lucifer is their mentor because he was the ultimate rebel; also the guidelines for becoming an “community activist.” [That very term is an oxymoron, one would think that something good was being advocated for a community, when it is just the opposite, they aim to create division and destruction.]
Two other YouTube sites for news on David Platt scandal. These are also sites that report on current false teachers in the church.
