Jesus a Racist? ‘Gay Pastor’ Claims Jesus Used ‘Racial Slur,’ ‘Repented of His Racism’

This has to be one of the most blasphemous things I have ever heard, to call a Holy God a sinner. If this young man does not repent of this, there is reserved for him a special place that he will not want to go to.
An openly homosexual man who reports to have received his Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Ministry and Theology from the conservative Moody Bible Institute, and who is now a so-called LGBT+ activist and author, claims that Jesus used a “racial slur” and “repented of his racism” in a controversial video, essentially calling Jesus a sinner, now circulating online.
The now viral TikTok video shows Brandan Roberton stating that Jesus had “prejudices and biases” and was stood up to by a woman who spoke “truth to power,” causing Jesus to “repent of his racism” and heal her daughter.
The Scriptural text Robertson referred to in his monologue is found in Mark 7:25-30: “For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs. And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.”
Robertson, who referred to this account in Mark, twisted the text to assert Jesus was a “racist”.
“He calls her a dog. What’s amazing about this account is that the woman doesn’t back down. She speaks truth to power. She confronts Jesus and says, ‘Well, you can think that about me, but even dogs deserve the crumbs from the table. Her boldness and bravery to speak truth to power actually changes Jesus’ mind. Jesus repents of his racism and extends healing to this woman’s daughter,” Robertson claims.
“I love this story because its a reminder that Jesus is human. He had prejudices and biases and when confronted with it he was willing to do his work, and this woman was willing to stand up and speak truth,” Robertson concluded.
The text, referred to in Mark, Chapter 7, shows how Jesus responded to the Syrophenician woman’s faith, having compassion, even outside of those were not of God’s chosen people as a result of such faith. According to the Bible’s teachings in Romans 11:11-31, those who put their faith and trust in Christ are “grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree.”
According to Robertson’s personal website, “Robertson received his Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Ministry and Theology from Moody Bible Institute, his Masters of Theological Studies from Iliff School of Theology, and is completing his Masters in Political Science at Eastern Illinois University.”
Robertson is the same man who claimed that so-called polyamorous relationships are “holy” and “beautiful” in 2018 when he was “senior pastor” at “Missiongathering Christian Church,” a false church located in San Diego, California.
