Jesus did not come to "dismantle systems of oppression" — projecting modern political terminology onto Jesus creates an idol

Mike warns that "dismantling systems of oppression" is modern politically-loaded terminology. Projecting it onto Jesus imports a specific worldview and political agenda under a theological cover. Jesus himself never used this framework. Mike distinguishes the biblical value of impartiality from the CRT-adjacent framework of systemic oppression, noting he planned to address Critical Race Theory the following Wednesday with guest Neil Shenvi. Mike acknowledges oppression is a real problem but argues the solution that framework offers is not biblical, even where the problem identification may be accurate.
