I was depending upon my email alerts and for some reason I didn't get faultline usa's response...oh well!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I am very aware of James Cones books and the Black Liberation Theology topic. I've had a link on my Christocentric.com website on Kwanzaa to Ron Rhodes wonderful expose of BLT in my links section for almost a decade. My Christocentric website was created to denounce afrocentric teachings such as the BLT heresy. Unfortunately, I just haven't gotten around to expanding my website past Kwanzaa just yet. That's in the making but gosh, I sure missed the boat with this coming out with Obama and Rev. Wright!<BR/><BR/>Although I encourage blacks to leave those churches, I know it's quite possible for them to be a part of the church and still know Christ because of their greater desire to connect to the black community to anything else. Does that make it right? Not at all. To me, those are weak and baby Christians (if truly Christian at all).<BR/><BR/>I've experienced this in my own family (which I write about on my blog.) My sister was the same as Obama and his family. But she was more radical because she was very involved in Dr. Karenga's (creator of Kwanzaa) black militant US organization. I was so puzzled by that because my sister had even more white friends than me! She loves her non-black friends and associated with them daily. But because her HUSBAND rejected Christianity, and was more into the black power thing than she, she sought something that he could be a part of. Thus her immersing of Kwanzaa, it's principles, and the whole black militancy thing. <BR/><BR/>My sister's weak faith in Christ and the scriptures, led to her ungodly compromise. Obama's church is to me an apostate church. Ungodly, little faith in the scriptures and full of people pleasing rather than God pleasing as a whole. Just having a "black value" system should have been the first clue for them to leave... because we know that the bible contains all the principles for any believer to live by... anything else is adding to the scriptures. <BR/><BR/>In my eyes, Obama is a weak and unknowledgeable Christian. He's not my first choice (Huckabee was) but compared to the others, he seems to have the character (calmness, love for all people) to perhaps lead this country. His participation in that Trinity church is still problematic but I firmly believe that he is not the racist that Rev. Wright is.<BR/><BR/>Obama being the politician as he is, like my sister, compromised his beliefs for the sake of fitting in with the "black community." That is my feeling about him. I've studied Trinity back in 2000 after my life was threatened by one of its members when they discovered I was the author of the anti-Kwanzaa website, and from my investigation of that church, I found why so many were attracted to it. It's programs were extensive and impressive for any church as for as education and helping the poor. The baby Christian could easily fall prey because of their biblical teachings on most Sundays (Rev. Wright didn't rant and rave on every Sunday). But evidently, those people didn't do as the Berean Christians did, to study everything that came out of that pastor's mouth.<BR/><BR/>I agree with faultline usa that black liberation theology is a dangerous and racist anti-biblical teaching that divides the races. I just believe that Obama doesn't believe that and doesn't even fit that character of a BLT believer. <BR/><BR/>Do I believe it's possible for someone to sit in that church for 20 years and not know what they're teaching? Yep! Especially if the ranting is not going on every Sunday. 20 years and only a few minutes of clips of Wrights ranting leads me to believe that folks were fooled because it wasn't done often enough.<BR/><BR/>But as far as I'm concerned, there's still no excuse for them being there at all.Christocentrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121419889258214564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-69112781281486319252008-05-03T09:18:00.000-07:002008-05-03T09:18:00.000-07:00Thank you Christine for posting information about ...Thank you Christine for posting information about the article in Faultline USA “Revisiting Obama’s Liberation Theology Church” at http://faultlineusa.blogspot.com/2008/05/revisiting-obamas-liberation-theology.html<BR/><BR/>Here’s a little interesting note about that article, which was originally posted in March 2007. If you do a Google search using only the terms Obama Liberation Theology, you will find that it still comes up #1 on page #1. So imagine my surprise last night while watching Hannity on Fox, to discover that he (or his staff researchers) apparently used my entire article as the outline for their hour-long program on Liberation Theology. <BR/><BR/>Just a little note to Carlotta regarding Obama’s apparent religiosity. Just because “Obama seems to be the godliest of the bunch.” don’t forget that the Jesus presented by his Black Liberation Theology church is NOT the true Jesus. I urge you to read up on James Cone, the father of Black Liberation Theology before making an informed choice. <BR/><BR/>The BLT Jesus in a Black revolutionary leader who is intent on destroying the white race. Other than that, the distorted Jesus of BLT is no more divine than any other mortal who goes by the name of “Jesus.” <BR/><BR/>You must ask yourself honestly if Obama could have sat in that church for 20 years knowing that the church is considered by many as the most radically racist Black church in America?Faultline USAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691318732494110768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-84016282026675583632008-05-02T11:23:00.000-07:002008-05-02T11:23:00.000-07:00Glad you still love me!

All he says is to "Vote God."<BR/><BR/>Of the candidates, Obama seems to be the godliest of the bunch. He's the only one that I've heard declare his allegiance to Jesus Christ. McCain seems to be scared to talk about Jesus. And Hillary is not in the equation for me.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I'm sure my comments will stir something up here. But as long as everyone keeps "loving me" I'll be fine! <BR/><BR/>I'll get more into Obama and why I believe he just doesn't believe as his church does later.Christocentrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121419889258214564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-35429511094673302462008-05-02T11:04:00.000-07:002008-05-02T11:04:00.000-07:00Hi Carlotta,I hope that you are kidding about voti...Hi Carlotta,<BR/><BR/>I hope that you are kidding about voting for Obama!<BR/><BR/>Yikes!!!!<BR/><BR/>You wrote: "I've urged readers to help convince me that I should vote otherwise."<BR/><BR/>You want convincing? <A HREF="http://talkwisdom.blogspot.com/search?q=Obama" REL="nofollow">Here's a bunch of posts to convince you NOT TO VOTE FOR OBAMA!!</A><BR/><BR/>Still love you, though!<BR/><BR/>Christine<BR/><BR/>P.S.

This was after his member found out I was the author of the website against Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa principles are built into their "Black Value System."<BR/><BR/>But I will tell you Christine, that I have thrown my support to Obama. Please have yourself and your readers refer to my blog. I've urged readers to help convince me that I should vote otherwise.<BR/><BR/>I've been back and forth from McClain to Obama (Hillary is not a consideration at all).
