What is Black Liberation Theology…? Seeing as we are now down to three main candidates, (I’m not ruling out George Bush again) and one has a major history in Black Liberation Theology, I thought you might want to know just what that’s all about. Now keep in mind that this is in no way an endorsement for John McCain because he too is a major player in the New World Order. The real New World Order is not even of this world. Let’s try to remember that scripturally we, as Christians, are of a heavenly kingdom. (II Tim. 4:18) We are in this world but not of this world. Forgive them all Jesus, for they know not what they do! Now we all know about Dr. Jeremiah Wright, former pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ and former pastor of Barack Obama. Many black churches were involved from the 1950’s to the 1970’s civil rights movement under the leadership of Dr. Martin Luther King and still today most of these same churches are still challenging the remaining vestiges of racial discrimination. However, most black churches and ministers today are not to be identified with the same Black Gospel espoused and declared by Dr. Wright. In the first place, there is no such thing as a “Black Gospel” just as there is no such thing as a “White Gospel.” Or any other color you want to use. “There is neither Jew or Greek, there is neither bond or free, there is neither male or female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Gal. 3:28) According to Dr. Anthony Bradley, professor of theology at Covenant Theological Seminary, Black Theology is credited to James Cone in 1970 in the wake of the civil rights movement on the premise that Jesus was a “poor black man oppressed by rich white people” and “God is not the God of White religion but the God of Black existence.” And, according to Dr. Bradley, true Christian service of black people is to deliver themselves from under white oppression. In this, they are doing Christ’s service. There are many different variations of Black Gospel, but at least we now understand some of Dr. Wright’s preachments. And, we can understand why some prominent blacks are anti-Jewish, even though the black Jews from Ethiopia are an important part of Israeli life today. So, is Barack Obama a born-again Christian? Or is he a Moslem? He states he is a Christian but Moslems are taught to lie. He was raised in a Moslem family. The basic Scriptural test for anyone is this… Do they believe in the deity of Christ? Do they believe that Jesus is God incarnate? God made manifest in the flesh as a man. Do they believe that Jesus is also the Father? Is the Jesus of the Bible the only way of salvation? This is the basis of Christianity. No cult nor world religion believes this in it’s entirety. If Barack Obama has been pinpointed on these scriptural questions, it has not yet been revealed via the media. Politics as usual in this late hour are full of deceptions. |
