TD Jakes is one of the most watched pastors in America by sheer numbers. Recently a sermon of his went viral on social media, Jakes claimed that Adam was Eve’s mama in a bizarre commentary on Genesis 3. TD Jakes would also claim that Christ broke the Sabbath during the Fall of Man.
The sermon, “Glimpses of Jesus” is from July 2021. TD Jakes preaches:
On the sixth day, the first man was made, and on the seventh day, the Sabbath Savior rested. He is the one who said, “I am Lord of the Sabbath.” However, while the Savior rested, Adam failed, causing the Sabbath Savior to break his rest and become the Searching Savior. The voice of the Lord walked through the cool of the garden, and God called out to Adam, not asking where Eve was, for Adam was her source. Eve was born out of Adam, so when God breathed the breath of life, He had breathed Eve into Adam, creating them male and female, and called his name Adam. The Searching Savior knew that if He found Adam, He would also find Eve. Thus, He did not call for Eve, but instead asked, “Adam, where are you?” The Searching Savior broke His rest to find His lost son. What a mighty God we serve, the Searching Savior who had just been the Sabbath Savior, broke His rest, and took a walk.
TD Jakes errs in referring to Adam’s relationship with Eve as maternal. Perhaps that’s indicative of a matriarchal culture that Jakes participates in.
Moreover, his claim that Christ broke the Sabbath is unfounded in Scripture. First, the Bible does not say when the Fall happened, and Jakes assumed it happened on the seventh day. This is an assumption that Jakes makes to base his violation of the Sabbath. Moreover, God created and modeled the Sabbath for man, not for Himself. Despite resting on the seventh day, God still maintained creation.
It’s always bad to accuse God of violating His own law, but this is a tendency of pastors who want to be edgy with the antinomian crowd.

I’m more concerned about the breaking sabath because of the fall. The bible gives nothing to infer how long Adam + Eve were in the Garden before the Serpent tempted them, just as the implication that the 7th day, was supposed to stretch on for inifinity, Bible suggests that man walked with God, that would have to have been on the 6th and or 7th+ days right? God didn’t rest completely on the 7th day, he rested from the act of Creation.
Nothing like a heretic like Jakes to remind us of just how easy Genesis is to understand, and how willing some pastors are to twist perhaps the simplest passages in all of scripture.
Some old earth creationists argue that the Sabbath is still going on. I don’t know how on earth Mr. Jakes can support that rubbish that a man can be a mom, it would lead to other things that are not only troubling but among the greatest evil of today. Adam was simply Eve’s husband, God did something unique that he has almost certainly never done since and will probably never do again, in order to make her. Some African cultures are very matriarchal, ironically paternalistic European cultures have always treated their women better, even before the coming of Christianity.
Too much reading of Augustine perhaps, because notice how everything is an attempt to make a paradox. It just sounds too Roman Catholic. Adam is Eve’s Mother, Mary Jesus’ Mother is the New Eve to Jesus being the New Adam, making Jesus both the son and mother of Mary and her husband too. Its precisely Roman Catholic paradox-pron nonsense.
Even seemingly innocuous stuff like trying to link the cross to the tree of good and evil like “Adam fell by a tree so Christ had to save us by a tree” is silly Roman Catholic paradox-pron and has no place in the mind of a true Christian, as its a gateway drug to the rest of their nonsense.
“TD Jakes is one of the most watched pastors in America by sheer numbers.”
I wonder what percentage of his audience are White virtue-signaling cuckvangelical types, who only watch TD Jakes so they can brag to their friends about how “anti-racist” they are.
After an America First government wins power, all cuckvangelicals (and indeed everyone else) will be required to answer the following questions:
1) Do you believe that race-mixing is fine?
2) Do you believe that it’s fine for White women to marry black/brown men and submit to black/brown husbands?
3) Do you believe that Jesus is a jew?
4) Do you believe that jews are the chosen people?
5) Do you believe that Christians should support zionism and earthly imposter “israel”?
6) Do you believe that God hates “racism” and “anti-semitism”?
7) Do you believe that there is “only one race, the human race”?
8) Do you support third world immigration into Western countries?
Of course, the True Traditional Christian answer to all of the above questions is NO.
Any person who responds with any other answer will win an all-expenses-paid vacation to a re-eduction facility where they will be taught to uncuck themselves and stop being traitorous cucks.
Any person who is unable or unwilling to uncuck themselves and stop supporting race-mixing and judaism-worship, will be invited to the “Camp Bonhoeffer” Penal Labor Camp For Enemies And Traitors, where they will enjoy doing heavy manual labor for 12 hours each day (except Sundays) until they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they are no longer race traitors.
Christianity will be ruthlessly and totally purged of jew worship, zionism, race-mixing, cultural marxism, and other anti-White ideology.
True Traditional Pro-White Christianity WILL be restored.
