curt kennedy - capital isms lyrics

[verse 1: curt kennedy]
capital isms
you said this is a christian nation
the jesus was blessing its formulation
and america’s truly his congregation
so why where you satan in demonstration?
and if we look and we look hard
we will see money in this equation
that’s why so many show hesitation
because y’all ignored the sin in your presentation
all they talk is gospel preaching and exposition
historical legacy and all their christian intentions
never like to mention all the mansions and pensions
is this what jesus meant in the moments ‘fore his ascension?
go and make disciples and force ’em to make you rich
rape the women, then on sunday, you give ’em interpretation
that they should believe in this jesus that you believe in
you said god was love but then treated them like you hate them

[sample: unknown]
“what the christian slaveholders ++ and i say ‘christian slaveholders’ with quotation marks around it ++ i think we all have to keep that in mind. what the christian slaveholders did with their bibles was to take paul’s descriptions of the new testament world ++ ‘slaves, obey your masters,’ which was descriptive of the state of life ++ and take that as prescriptive: therefore, masters may have slaves.”

[verse 2: curt kennedy]
verse 2, we getting near this
whoever has ears to hear then let him hear this
people they don’t like the history ’cause it’s brutal
exposing how christians be, they don’t buy it, put that on clearance
why you bringing up old stuff, actively trying to smear this
nah, we’ve mocked god with the doctrines we hold as dearest
to the heart of the gospel, the legacy that was laid out
have consequences that are now currently being played out
was supposed to care for orphans, provide for the widows
but the church created orphans and were snide to the widows
you treated human beings worse than animals, look you’ll see
but then amen+ed james macsparran and his cruelty
cotton mather and john eliot, don’t be fools, see
these were the men that hypocrisized christianity
and millions would subscribe but i ain’t talking ’bout netflix
i’m talking reap and sow, god promises consequences

“and slaves must obey in all situations. so this was a type of literal interpretation, and they could claim that they were being faithful to scripture, that they were interpreting scripture literally. now, of course, to do that they had to ignore all of the minor prophets and everything that was said in the old testament about social justice. and so, of course, it was a very selective literalism, which we still see in christianity today at times. so it was a principled interpretation which was good, but the principle was distorted…”

[interlude: curt kennedy]
“look, this isn’t about trying to keep hold of history and keep bringing up old stuff. this is about inheritance ++ like, i’ve inherited the gospel presentation and the demonstration that the church in america allowed for. so, instead of presenting the father, son, and holy spirit, what people got was materialism, elitism, and pharisaism, and now i’m in the consequences of that.”

[verse 3: curt kennedy]
if this is a christian nation
where the claim is love jesus and imitate him
if we not meeting that expectation
and actively deny our evil, that means we hate him
how can you love god you haven’t seen
but then hate your brother is fascinating
christianity’s trinity in this nation
is power and money and hypocritical sayings
the imago dei fiasco, they would’ve let it pass go
said they were saving souls but savings and petty cash flow
was deity, they greedily ignored the whips and lash for
then easily repeatedly said grace is what they ask for
economic expansion on the backs of the blacks
that you sinfully held as ransom, then attacking the facts
you put wealth over witness and worshiped your own likeness
chose to ignore the poor, even those with your whiteness
chose to ignore the poor, even those with your whiteness
