Confederate apologist (by definition; see below) Jon Harris ( @worldviewconvos) brings up the issue of integrity, and I think it& #39;s worth discussing. In the process, I think we& #39;ll see who this guy really is and why he has NO CREDIBILITY on issues of race, theology, or honesty. 1/
2/ Last week, Dr. James Hamilton asked Harris if he was the author of a Master& #39;s thesis called, "Sacred Conviction: Biblical Authority and the Road to War in Antebellum America." Harris claimed not to remember. Dr. Hamilton followed up.
3/ Here is what he produced. Now, not only is this Jon Harris presenting a "paper" (in quotes for a reason) with the exact title, but he is presenting it to a Confederate troop and the date is January 3, 2019, not all that long ago.
4/ Of course, he was forced to admit he did write and present the paper; see this video:

5/ I also found the Master& #39;s paper on one of Harris& #39; old archived websites and shared it:

And">https://twitter.com/AlsoACarp... you can see below it is from his site:
6/ But one might wonder, why did some Confederate troop in NC ask Harris to present a paper in 2019 that was, ostensibly, just a final project at Master& #39;s Seminary in 2011, and only published on a long defunct site?
7/ Well, folks started noticing quickly that a book by the same title, written by a "Joseph Jay," has been suggested by Harris as a resource more than once, and is even listed on his current website:
8/ Harris also shared this book with another Confederate group on Facebook (second picture just give a flavor of the group):
9/ He shared this book pretty much right after it was published, 2018. I don& #39;t think there& #39;s any real doubt that the NC Confederates knew anything of his Master& #39;s paper but were aware of his book published under a pseudonym.

If you doubt they are the same doc, just read them:
10/ Now how about this "Joseph Jay" persona. Well, Jon and Joseph are clearly the same dude. Check "their" bios on another Confederate friendly site, "Reckonin& #39;":
11/ Also telling is how Jon Harris made a video wherein he complains about a Southern Baptist seminary and how too many black people are speaking in chapel and then the EXACT SAME stories are published as Joseph Jay in Reckonin& #39;.

First, the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1S7kHlALTE&feature=youtu.be&t=1563">https://www.youtube.com/watch... https://www.youtube.com/watch...
12/ Then the "Joseph Jay" article:

13/ Why the pseudonym? I actually don& #39;t know. Maybe he wanted to obscure his actual views as he went about attacking people of color in the SBC and gained a growing ignorant following and Patereon. But it could be just connection with the racist publishing company, Shotwell:
14/ Some other Shotwell Publishing titles:
15/ And Harris loves these books, hahaha:
16/ But Harris is also featured on the Neo-Confederate Abbeville Institute website under his real name, though his book is reviewed there under his fake name. Same for Reckonin& #39;.

17/ I think the point should be clear by now, but just in case, I& #39;ll leave you with some of Jon Harris& #39; greatest hits that I& #39;ve found around the web.

24/ This whole article is a treat, you must read it. Can also see why Jon Harris calls himself a "Traditional American" and what he means by it:

25/25 Etc., etc., etc., etc. I can do this all day (but don& #39;t want to).

In other words, Jon Harris has no credibility at all, let alone integrity.

Now, Jon, run off and tattle to your Dixie Confederate pals, like this. I& #39;m sure you& #39;ll get a hearing in your home world.
P.S.: I also wonder if anyone out there heard this similar sounding presentation at Liberty University:
Why not, a couple more:
Wow, this also is helpful: https://twitter.com/timothy_kleiser/status/1265388490340040707?s=19">https://twitter.com/timothy_k...
