It is good to see that word of Kinism is spreading all over the internet. But as with all truths, it is accompanied by both accidental and deliberate “misunderstandings” of what we preach here at Kinism.net

Imagine my surprise to find an FIC (family integrated church) site defending itself against accusations of “Kinism,” which apparently has some negative connotations out there. The problem for these folks (Voddie Baucham Ministries) is that we’re not saying anything different than the historic fathers of the Church said about race and ethnicity, namely that they should be distinct and separate, and that an ethnic group IS a nation in the biblical sense, and that an ethnic group is nothing but an extended family. So it’s odd to find Kinism being the brush with which to tar a family church. It is doubly ironic in that the FIC promoters seem to have a spurious doctrine of the family. A family does not stop at mom, dad, buddy, and sis (and maybe gandpa and grandma if we’re really being “fascist” about it). No, a family is a much broader, much more inclusive thing. It stretches back into the receding mists of your early ancestry, and includes all those who came out of them. The bible has a lot to say about it, and we’ll be getting into that in the days ahead, so keep check back with us. Still, it does a soul good to be hated by those who despise their own people, and who think that who God made them (in all characteristics) is a mistake that must be undone by a social program and befriending your diversity quota.
