Stone Choir’s Rotten Fruit: Corey J. Mahler’s Gospel of Hate

Introduction

Who is The Stone Choir? The Stone Choir is a podcast hosted by Corey J. Mahler and an anon who goes by the name Treblewoe, but is now confirmed to be Ryan Woodie Dumperth.¹² The podcast is known for its provocative theological positions and outspoken criticisms of modern Christian perspectives on race, equality, and integration. My purpose in writing about them is to critically evaluate the implications and ethical outcomes of their teachings, specifically as expressed through public statements made by Mahler and Woe on platforms like X (formerly Twitter).

To understand their viewpoint fairly, it is helpful to first clearly present their argument. According to Stone Choir, race is divinely ordained and genetically determinant. They assert that race is real, scientifically demonstrable, and inherently tied to God’s created order. Mahler and Woe argue against contemporary egalitarian views, stating that racial distinctions are intentionally designed by God and should not be ignored or integrated away. They maintain that traits including intellectual and behavioral tendencies are heritable and linked to race, shaping the characteristics of nations and churches. The Stone Choir also labels racial egalitarianism and integration as modern heresies, harmful to God’s intended order.

However, theological precision, for all its importance, must lead to godly living and genuine Christian ethics. As Jesus taught, a tree is known by its fruit—and rotten fruit betrays a diseased tree (Matthew 7:15-20). No amount of doctrinal posturing can excuse hatred, cruelty, and pride. Despite their theological claims, the public discourse from Mahler, as evidenced by his posts, reveals troubling undercurrents of tribal hatred, fanaticism, and division. In what follows, this essay critically examines Mahler’s own statements, demonstrating how theological discourse devoid of genuine love and humility inevitably produces destructive outcomes. I will expose how a distorted pursuit of orthodoxy can yield profoundly unorthodox and harmful fruits.

Hateful Against Blacks

Mahler’s posts overflow with open contempt and dehumanization toward Black people. Far from seeing all humans as bearing God’s image, he describes Black people as almost sub-human. In one tweet he sneered, “Blacks are proof not of evolution… but of devolution, for they stand as a testament to the wrath of God”.³

He has written that “The African is inferior in virtually every way when compared to the European,” elaborating that Africans are “less intellectually capable, less attractive, less self-controlled… more violent, more destructive, more gullible”.⁴ The only “equality” he concedes is that Africans, like Europeans, “can be saved only by the blood of Christ” – immediately adding that “the European is not burdened by [his race] — unlike the African”.⁴ Mahler thus portrays Blackness itself as a spiritual and mental handicap. They are cursed. Permanently.

Mahler’s hatred is so extreme that he frames the enslavement and oppression of Black people as deserved or insignificant. He claimed that “being enslaved is the most noteworthy thing Africans have done thus far in human history”⁵, a statement seething with disdain for an entire people’s accomplishments.

He also justifies racist hatred by insisting it’s not about skin color at all: “No one has ever disliked blacks because of the color of their skin — it has always been the content of their character that has repulsed all civilized men.”⁶

In Mahler’s view, Black people as a group have a “repulsive” character, and “civilized” (read: white European) men are right to be disgusted by them. He even flatly declares, “Whites and blacks are not equal — and never will be.”⁷ Such rhetoric isn’t hinting at mere cultural differences; it explicitly paints Black people as permanently inferior and loathsome, an object of scorn rather than of Christian love or compassion.

Hateful Against Jews

Mahler’s vitriol is equally aimed at Jews, whom he regards with a toxic combination of religious and ethnic hatred. He openly desires the removal of Jews from society, writing: “I want every Jew to repent and cease to be a Jew. I do not want any Jews — including former — in my country.”⁸ In Mahler’s mind, even a Jew who converts to Christianity remains unwelcome “in my country.” He has ominously predicted that “By the end of this century, either there will be Christians or there will be Jews.”⁹ – in other words, one group will be eradicated.

According to Mahler, Jewish people cannot even be saved: “There are precisely zero Jews in Paradise.”¹⁰

All Jews are, by definition, damned in his theology. Most chillingly, he implies that the Holocaust didn’t go far enough. He asserts that the biggest lesson of the Holocaust is “that mercy to our enemies is cruelty to our sons and racial suicide. Give them no quarter.”.¹¹

In essence, Mahler calls for zero mercy toward Jews – a thinly veiled endorsement of genocidal violence. This is the rotten fruit of his religion: a zeal not to save Jewish people, but to eliminate them.

Septuagint Supremacy and “Yahweh” as a Demon

Mahler’s antisemitism even warps his doctrinal claims. He promotes an almost gnostic theory that the Greek Septuagint (the ancient Greek Old Testament) is the only valid Scripture, while the Hebrew Bible is corrupt – purely because the Hebrew text comes from the Jews. “God not only caused His Word to be translated into Greek, but He then went one step further and destroyed the Hebrew language… God could not have been more clear: The Scriptures are Greek.”¹²

Mahler literally teaches that God extinguished Hebrew for 2,000 years to endorse Greek alone. Following this twisted logic, Mahler refuses even to use God’s Hebrew name “Yahweh,” claiming it’s based on Jewish trickery. He says he’ll “stick with the inspired Word of God, which renders His Name as ‘Lord’. I leave the worship of ‘Yahweh’ to the sort of men who… trust Jewish rabbis (who are utterly blind and ignorant of Scripture)”.¹³

In other words, invoking “Yahweh” is, to Mahler, worshipping a false god. He effectively casts the Hebrew name of God as demonic – purely because it is Jewish. This bizarre doctrine shows how Mahler’s hatred of Jews has led him to reject the very roots of the Christian faith (which sprang from Hebrew Scripture) in favor of his own sectarian “insight.” Orthodoxy for Mahler isn’t defined by the historic Church or Scripture in original languages, but by whatever contradicts Jews. His theology is just another vehicle for spite.

Demon!

Anyone who opposes Mahler’s views isn’t just wrong – they are, in his eyes, literal agents of Satan. Mahler habitually refers to those who disagree with him as “demons.” In one outburst, he cursed a fellow Christian in grotesque terms: “He means family, you wicked demon. May God take your tongue from your head and the hands you use to spread lies.”¹⁴

He calls Voddie Baucham a demon, who has multiple strikes against him. He teaches against the Stone Choir brand of race and he’s black.

This is not occasional hyperbole; it’s Mahler’s regular label for dissenters. When challenged on this rhetoric, Mahler doubled down. “When I tell you that our enemies are demons, I am not exaggerating — they are all servants of their father below.”¹⁵ In his view, those who promote ideas like racial equality or oppose his extremism are literally doing the Devil’s work and deserve to be treated as such. Mahler has even urged that such enemies “do not warrant consideration as human beings — [treat] them as demons.”¹⁶ (This was his public advice to followers on dealing with people who preach racial equality.)

Dehumanizing opponents as fiendish “creatures” is Mahler’s norm. This demonizing rhetoric frees him from engaging anyone’s actual arguments – after all, you don’t dialogue with a demon; you cast it out or destroy it. By slapping the label “demon” on anyone in his way, Mahler licenses himself (and his followers) to hate with a clean conscience.

Actual White Supremacy and Nazi Ideology

Mahler’s ideology is, plain and simple, white supremacist and pro-Nazi. He does not even attempt to hide it – he revels in it. Mahler says the following in Episode 31 of the Stone Choir podcast, starting at 55 minutes 52 seconds:

They celebrate murdering Nazis. And then, oh, by the way, separately they say that we are Nazis. So at least once a week, you’ll see multiple pastors on Twitter joking about murdering Nazis, celebrating murdering Nazis, saying that murdering Nazis is basically one of the highest forms of a good work that any Christian can do. And then the same day or the next day, they’ll say, Corey is a Nazi.

I am a Nazi. Our friends are Nazis. Anyone who believes what we believe about X, Y, and Z are Nazis.

The connection between we’re going to murder Nazis and these laymen are Nazis cannot be dismissed.

What is really interesting about his statements in this episode is that he is guilty of what he blames others of doing. In fact, he outlines all of the “online preachers” as using Leftist tactics and cancel culture. Another tactic of the Left is projection. As I’ve just shown, Mahler regularly dehumanizes his opponents as “demons” and “enemies”. And he goes on in other posts to encourage violence against said enemies.

Mahler has proclaimed that “Adolf Hitler is in Paradise; Dietrich Bonhoeffer is in Hell.”¹⁷ In other words, he believes the architect of the Holocaust is saved. Now, I won’t defend Bonhoeffer, who was actually a heretic (he denied the physical resurrection of Christ, the virgin birth, and the sinlessness of Christ).

But, in Mahler’s telling, Nazi Germany was essentially a godly regime: “The Third Reich was Christianity translated into politics.”¹⁸

He also says, “Jesus Christ is Lord, and Adolf Hitler is His faithful servant.”¹⁹

He has stated that “not one of” the American church leaders who fought Hitler “is a Christian.” And when someone accused him of being a Nazi, Mahler gleefully responded, “Oh, you mean the only political movement in the last century to achieve any actual success in pushing back against Satan and his forces? Thank you for the compliment.”²⁰

For Mahler, Nazism isn’t a shameful association – it’s a badge of honor. He even equates rejection of Hitler with sin, sneering that modern fake Christians make an idol of “hating Hitler” (as if not admiring a genocidal dictator were a moral failing!). In one chilling post, Mahler wrote: “Paradise is full of German Fascists. Hell is full of Jews. Choose wisely.”.²¹ This is not subtext or implication – it is an outright statement that to reach heaven one should align with Nazis and reject Jews.

Mahler also pushes actual white supremacy. Not the hyped-up, false accusations of the Left. He sincerely believes that Whites (note the capital W) are superior to every other “race” on the planet. He says America must be made “white” again. “If we want America to be great again, then we must first make America… White — again. Make America White again.”.²²

In his view, only Americans of European (white) blood are true Americans; “No black, Indian, Asian, Mexican, or anything else not European has ever been or will ever be American.”²³ The nation, he argues, is a matter of “blood” and “You cannot change your race.”. Mahler has constructed an entire theology to sacralize racial purity. He literally teaches that God has chosen the white race as the vessel of Christianity: “God chose the White race to uphold and advance Christendom.” Moreover, “Christianity does not survive without the White race.”²⁴

And therefore, “The races of men must remain separate and distinct.”. According to Mahler, preserving racial segregation is not just a social preference – it is a divine command. He preaches that integration or “interracial marriage” is satanic, claiming “Satan is actively pushing interracial marriage”²⁵ and that pastors who don’t oppose it are unfit for ministry. In summary, Corey Mahler blends Nazi nostalgia with pseudo-Biblical language to assert that white supremacy is Christian orthodoxy. In his eyes, Hitler was a Christian hero, racial segregation is God’s will, and the “white nation” must be preserved at all costs. This is the poisonous fruit by which we know the tree of Stone Choir.

Stone Choir as a Cult of One True Church

Corey J. Mahler presents Stone Choir not merely as a faithful voice within Christianity, but as the sole standard of orthodoxy by which all others must be judged. In his own words, “God has seen fit to let us become the litmus test. You don’t get to avoid us.”²⁶

He explicitly positions himself and Stone Choir as the dividing line between true Christianity and apostasy. This grandiose self-understanding saturates Mahler’s rhetoric: he asserts that “The overwhelming majority of modern ‘Christians’ are not” truly Christian, accusing them instead of worshiping a false religion made up of “Anti-Racism, Egalitarianism, Liberty, Freedom, Capitalism, Zionism,” and even “hating Hitler.” All of these, he claims, are “a rejection of God.”²⁷

Mahler treats critics not as mistaken brethren, but as demonic enemies. He instructs followers, “Anyone who attacks @StoneChoir is your enemy.”²⁸

Dialogue is discouraged; trust and obedience are expected. In another post, he directs those who don’t understand his teachings to “simply agree and figure out why I am right later.”²⁹ This is not theological persuasion — it is cultic loyalty. Doubt and dissent are framed as spiritual failure or demonic influence. Pastors, theologians, or laymen who question Stone Choir are dismissed en masse as cowardly frauds: “Stone Choir’s mere existence continues to prove the weakness, cowardice, & lies lurking within the ‘men’ who prance about as godly leaders.”³⁰ According to Treblewoe, only those who affirm Stone Choir’s platform with total allegiance are genuinely faithful; all others are either apostates or active agents of Satan.

In classic cult fashion, Mahler casts Stone Choir as a kind of “Second Reformation,” and himself as a new Martin Luther. He’s claimed that “the primary battle line”³¹ of this new movement is linguistic — the rejection of Hebrew in favor of Greek — and that opposition to Stone Choir is equivalent to siding with “Judaizers.” Any disagreement is painted as rebellion against God Himself. Mahler’s message to other Christians and leaders is stark: “Pick a side.”²⁶

In this binary cosmos, there is no room for faithful disagreement, no space for the historic Church’s wisdom — only submission to Stone Choir’s self-declared mantle of divine authority.

In sum, Stone Choir does not operate as a ministry seeking to reform or build up the Church. It functions more like a religious cult — demanding absolute loyalty, severing followers from outside voices, vilifying dissenters, and proclaiming itself the final arbiter of truth. The spirit of the Pharisee is alive here: self-justifying, exclusionary, and loveless. And in place of the humility that marks true orthodoxy, Mahler offers only the arrogance of a movement that has enthroned itself as the one true Church.

A Call to Violence

Like many cults, the Stone Choir is not only filled with hatred but also uses its theological and philosophical meanderings to justify violence. They are willing to be “the monsters” that our current situation apparently calls for.

Corey, in responding to another post about someone’s hatred of vintage photos of white people says, “Technically, we don’t have to share a planet with the envious non-Whites.”³² In other words, he is justifying the eradication of all non-Whites from the planet.

In another post, Mahler states, “The conversation that needs to be had with the sons of Ham will involve few words.”³³ According to Mahler, the sons of Ham are black people. This statement is not even a veiled threat, but an open call to violence.

Conclusion

Corey J. Mahler and Treblewoe (Ryan Woodie Dumperth) stand condemned by their own words. By examining the “fruit” of their teachings – blatant trival hatred, adulation of evil, slander of the Church, and cult-like arrogance – we see a tree that is rotten to its core. Mahler and Woe may wrap themselves in the mantle of rigorous Christianity, but true Christian orthodoxy is measured by orthopraxy (right practice) as well as orthodoxy. “A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.”

The bad fruit of The Stone Choir is evident: instead of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, or gentleness, it yields only hate, fear, strife, envy, and cruelty. No amount of Greek parsing or pretentious theological posturing can sanctify the open bigotry and malice he promotes.

It is tragically apt that Mahler fixates on the Septuagint, because like the ancient Gnostics, he elevates secret knowledge and racial myths above the plain teaching of Christ. The true test of any Christian teacher is the character and conduct that flow from their doctrine. By that test, Mahler, Woe, and the Stone Choir have utterly failed. The fruits on this tree – racial hatred, pride, division, and violence – are not merely “rotten” but deadly. They are the extremist fruits of a false theology that has cut itself off from the life-giving love of God.

The wider Church should take note and have nothing to do with such works of darkness.

As for those under Stone Choir’s sway, one can only pray that God opens their eyes to see this bitter fruit for what it is, and to walk away from them.

Return to Christ, and the way of love.
