Jeremiah Wright: 'Jesus was a Palestinian' October 10, 2015

The Hill ^ | October 10, 2015 | Bradford Richardson

[lbryce]

The controversial religious leader Jeremiah Wright compared Native Americans to Palestinians at the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March on the National Mall on Saturday, going so far as to assert that “Jesus was a Palestinian."

Wright, who once served as pastor to President Obama, was one of several hours' worth of speakers in Washington, D.C., for an event called “Justice or Else!” that sought to channel the energy of the Black Lives Matter movement. Wright placed the event in historical context.

“The same issue is being fought today and has been fought since 1948, and historians are carried back to the 19th century… when the original people, the Palestinians — and please remember, Jesus was a Palestinian — the Palestinian people had the Europeans come and take their country,” Wright said. He said African-Americans in the United States have much in common with Palestinians in Israel.

“The youth in Ferguson and the youth in Palestine have united together to remind us that the dots need to be connected,” Wright said. “And what Dr. King said, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, has implications for us as we stand beside our Palestinian brothers and sisters, who have been done one of the most egregious injustices in the 20th and 21st centuries.”

Wright, who was the reverend of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, which the president attended intermittently from 1988 to 2008, also accused Israel of being an apartheid state.

“As we sit here, there is an apartheid wall being built twice the size of the Berlin Wall in height, keeping Palestinians off of illegally occupied territories, where the Europeans have claimed t

This figment of someone's imagination has already been told twice as demonstrated in the FR Archives.Saying it a third time, won't change the fact that Jesus was born in either Nazareth or Bethlehem both were in Judea.

Now, what about Wright getting it wrong again when he thought that Obama was a Christian? Is someone going to claim that Jesus was a Muslim? What about the thousands of blacks that claim Jesus was black with pctures of a black Jesus? Do they also say he was born in Detroit? Without any question the first thing people should get straight about the diety they worship is to make damm sure what, who he is.Is he a white man born in an area he almost certainly was never there? Is he a black man, origins of his birth unknown? If there is one thing about black people in most of what they say or do is ot getting things straight. Does Jeremiah have the same birth certificate forger for Jesus as there was for Obama?

THIS is hysterically funny and at the same time truly pathetic.

I listened to a couple of hours worth of yesterday and I came away with .... pretty much nothing much

Visually, the camera's did most of their work on some very nattily dressed people ... folks that came to church and

listened to a missions conference of very clean cut speakers who

praised the pastor ad nauseum ... but they were grateful for an oportunity to spreach, sooo ...

the AMEN chorus could have some sound byte time and

like all too many churches today

The congregation had to be ASKED for an AMEN ...

so they dutifully did ...

All that before I had to leave for my grandson's first birthday party (in the middle of the pastor's message ... very toned down, imo) .. which was magnificent, spontaneous and happy, happy time with family and friends and a lot of laughter and loud glee

It was a better church service

I thought Jesus was last seen cruising Woodward Blvd. in Detroit...
How could Jesus be considered a Paleostinian long before they ever existed? After all, it is not documented that Jesus ever:

Looked like a gungy, bedraggled, unshaven, dirty, kaffiyeh-wearing, pedophile, camel-humping, congenital lying, rock-throwing, illiterate, knife wielding, incestouous-loving, moon worshiping, murdering POS...

Do we have signs of any of those aforementioned PLO national traits?

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.

The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

Re: James Cone, founder of "Black Liberation Theology":

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

Liberation Theology and the KGB

Jay Richards | February 2, 2010

The presence of Marxism in liberation theology is well-known, at least to seminarians who are critical readers. Practically every seminarian reads Gustavo Gutierrez’s Theology of Liberation at some point, but most laypeople find it hard to believe that there could have been (and continues to be) a widespread attempt to hybridize Christian theology and Marxism.

Marxist regimes obviously benefitted from the spread of liberation theology in the churches. Still, I was not aware of any connections between liberation theology and communist clandestine organizations until now.

A new article by Robert D. Chapman in the International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence begins to connect some dots. In “The Church in Revolution,” Chapman, “a retired operations officer in the Clandestine Services Division of the Central Intelligence Agency,” argues that the KGB infiltrated the Russian Orthodox Church through Metropolitan Nikodim, the Russian Orthodoxy’s second-ranking prelate. Nikodim was a proponent of liberation theology. Nikodim was active in the otherwise-Protestant World Council of Churches. And the WCC, of course, became an actively left-wing organization during the last half of the 20th century.

Chapman also details the growth of liberation theology in Latin America—and the Vatican’s struggles with it—and the growth of black liberation theology in the United States. Prominent proponents of the latter include James Cone and Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

The arguments of liberation theologians should be challenged on their merits. The source of an argument, after all, doesn’t establish its truth or falsity. Still, it’s interesting to learn that liberation theology may have been, at least in part, a project of the KGB.

Unfortunately, this isn’t just history. Chapman concludes ominously:

"the Theology of Liberation doctrine is one of the most enduring and powerful to emerge from the KGB’s headquarters. The doctrine asks the poor and downtrodden to revolt and form a Communist government, not in the name of Marx or Lenin, but in continuing the work of Jesus Christ, a revolutionary who opposed economic and social discrimination.

A friend of mine, a head of Catholic social services in my area and formerly a priest, is a liberation theologian. He has made a number of humanitarian trips to Central America and told me, ‘‘liberation theology is alive and well.’’ The same can be said of its sibling in the United States [ie, Black Liberation Theology]."

More on Liberation Theology and the Soviets
Catholic News Agency ^ | 5/15/2015 | Alejandro Bermúdez

Posted on 5/16/2015, 11:56:24 AM by observationdeck

If the Soviet bloc wasn't the mother of liberation theology, it was certainly a sinister stepmother, enlisting Catholics in a geopolitical cause and inviting them to sell their souls for funding and support.

Only the naïve can disregard the mountain of evidence connecting liberation theology with Soviet action in the region.

Re: Millions More Movement rally, Oct 15, 2005:

Unity generates power to change reality
By the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan

"The time has never been more ripe for a strategic relationship between the Black, Brown, Native American and the poor of this nation and the world."

"We need a Ministry of Defense. Our young men are born soldiers, but they are in the wrong war. They are fighting a war in the streets of America against each other, or they are fighting an unjust war overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. We need to bring our boys home and put them into the Ministry of Defense, so we can defend our communities, rather than destroy our communities.

We need a Ministry of Art and Culture. We applaud the hip hop community, the leaders of young people all over the world, but I want the young generation of artists to know there is a bigger purpose for art and culture than popping our fingers and shaking our backsides. Mao Tse Tung, throughout his long march to conquer China, had a billion people whose lives he had to transform. Many of them were victims of opium, drugs and prostitution, like we are. But Mao Tse Tung went to the cultural community and they accepted his idea. Then, through song, dance, poetry, drama, documentaries, movies and books, the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people. China became a world power on the base of culture and the artistic community. If we had a Ministry of Art and Culture in every city, [we'd] create this movement [in the U.S.] , we could say to our young people, “What is the idea of the Time and are you reflecting that idea in your songs, dance and music?

We need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce. Do you think that a Millions More Movement should not be involved in the development of Africa, the Caribbean and Central America? ... we need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce that can link the struggle here with Africa and the Caribbean, Central and South America.

Hmmmmm.... I think I will rely on the scriptures ... NotReverend Wright is Wrong:

Matthew 2:19-23... But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and said, "Get up, take the Child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel; for those who sought the Child's life are dead." So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Then after being warned by God in a dream, he left for the regions of Galilee, but when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Then after being warned by God in a dream, he left for the regions of Galilee, and came and lived in a city called Nazareth. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets: "He shall be called a Nazarene."

“Jesus was a Palestinian”

Pretty soon he’ll be Muslim and Jeb and Obama supporters will
probably believe it. You know the stupid people that help
perpetuate this crap.

[Tonytitan]

I wish I’d been there to ask this question: “What was he before he was Palestinian?” His answer would be, I think, revealing.

[smartyaz]

[avital2]

so what’s new? Yasser Arafat espoused this endlessly, most notably during his Christmastide greetings in Bethlehem. it just links Wright, Obama to such drivel. let’s see that Khalidi farewell tape where BO spoke, LATimes. now!

[SkyDancer]

No wonder the Dummie-In-Chief thinks like he does. And for Wright, no such place as Palestine or Palestinians in Yeshua’s time. In fact, there were no such people claiming to be Palestinians until 1948.

[ConservativeDude]

he keeps talking about how the Europeans did this or that with regards to Israel...seems to me, in reality, the notion of “Palestine” is much more European than the deeply historical notion of Israel, and the notion of a Palestinian is much more recent than the notion of a Jew....

Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages.

So, ...Each man according to his ability... in light of Black Liberation means all we can expect is robbery, carjacking, shooting, rape, etc.
Seems to be what they are able to do.
Looking forward to that utopia. /s

in light of Black Liberation means all we can expect is robbery, carjacking, shooting, rape, etc.

Quote from James Cone, founder of "Black Liberation Theology":

"Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal".
