Description: I don’t think most people have the slightest idea what they mean when they accuse someone of being a fascist. There's only one man I could think of in the midst of all of this who I thought would be able to speak into this with clarity and wisdom. And that is my professor from Southern Evangelical Seminary, Dr. Bernard Mauser. What actually *is* fascism? What are some of the ironies with this accusation? What part does free speech play? There’s so much more to know about this, but I’m hoping this will give a broader perspective on the *real* hate that killed an innocent man, a brother in Christ, and a father. There is so much more to this conversation, but I did my best to give you some good information. Sorry for the choppy intro. I had to collect myself a few times.My Seminary Professors:●Dr. Mauser's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCdYXyhX92JYfPpxU-gAiDjQ ●Dr. Winstead YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCmGJlcwNscGsfLWXfAz7BnQ ●Dr. Bridges YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UC6O-hN1LXYchZSREBaIWNJA ●Dr. Brian Huffling: https://youtube.com/@classicaltheology?si=P7lkOruNgAIcEUYNResources Related to this Video:●Debunking the ridiculous conspiracy about Frank Turek: https://youtu.be/9qRKcviiQuE?si=VzO7C-66Id9tzkex●Frank’s video discussing Charlie’s last moments and witnessing his murder.
