The Real Story Behind Rev. Wright's Controversial Black Liberation Theology Doctrine
FoxNews / Hannity's America | May 5, 2008 | (Transcript of episode)

Posted on 05/07/2008 3:24:08 PM PDT by Eye On The Left

"it's based in Marxism. At the core of his [Wright's] theology is really an anti-Christian understanding of God, and as part of a long history of individuals who actually advocate using violence in overthrowing those they perceive to be oppressing them, even acts of murder have been defended by followers of liberation theology. That's very, very dangerous." --- "I saw the churches in Nicaragua that he spoke of, and the churches were churches that talked about the need for violent revolution and I remember clearly one of the major churches in Managua where the Jesus Christ on the altar was not Jesus Christ, he was a Sandinista soldier, and the priests talked about the corruption of the West, talked about the need for revolution everywhere, and talked about 'the evil empire' which was the United States of America."

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 The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Obama the "transformer"?

Louis Farrakhan, at the annual Saviours' Day celebration in Chicago, Feb. 25, 2008: "This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better"..."If you look at Barack Obama's audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed."
Source: http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=4337417

Louis Farrakhan, at the Millions More Movement rally in DC, Oct 15, 2005: "...what Mao Tse Tung did was, he went to the cultural community, and they [Farrakhan spreads his arms beneficently] accepted his idea."..."Mao Tse Tung ... had a billion people whose lives he had to transform."..."the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people, and China became a world power on the base of the culture and the arts community. If we had a ministry of art and culture in every city we'd create this movement
[in the U.S.]."

Louis Farrakhan, Santiago de Cuba, February, 1998: "There is not a member of the black masses in the United States who is not proud of the example set by Cuba and its revolution, with Comandante Fidel at its head"

I'm familiar with Liberation Theology and agree with it's communist roots.

Unfortunately Sean has completely “jumped the shark” on the Rev. Wright coverage. For the last 2 months whether on the radio or television it is the only subject he will talk about. We were loyal viewers and listeners, but no more. He seems to have lost all perspective and balance.
(just my opinion)

Yup, he's no different than Kerry, Edwards, Gore, Kennedy, etc. Got any pix of the good reverend's new 10k sq ft mansion?

The first sentence says all you need to know.

It's based in Marxism

That is what Berry and his Bitter wife, who benefited only because of quotas, believe in.

You mean you 'agree' that it is indeed based in Marxism, not that you agree with communist ideology? (I know what you meant. Just wanted to clarify it for the record.) :)

Studied “Liberation Theology” in the early 90’s.

It's pure Marxism masquerading as Christianity.

This pic shows that it is in the process of being built. Once it is completed, I’m sure that it will look much better.

"It's pure Marxism masquerading as Christianity."

What I can't seem to find an answer to is why the United Church of America allows Wrights satanic "church" to keep using it's name despite it being in complete violation of it's constitution.

I believe the United Church of Christ is an extremely liberal denomination. They were one of the first denominations to allow gay unions.

What a thoughtless statement. How about taxing "churches" that don't fit the intended definition and purpose of "the church" instead?

I argue that black liberation theology is not only racist but calls for genocide — “destruction of the white enimy... by any means” — as defined by one of its’ key progenaters... James Cone.

Yes they are a "Liberal" church, but it still calls for adherence to the teachings of Christs gospel.

PREAMBLE

1 The United Church of Christ, formed June 25, 1957,by the union of the Evangelical and Reformed Church and The General Council of the Congregational Christian Churches of the United States in order to express more fully the oneness in Christ of the churches composing it, to make more effective their common witness in Him, and to serve His kingdom in the world, hereby adopts this Constitution.

2 The United Church of Christ acknowledges as its sole Head, Jesus Christ, Son of God and Savior. It acknowledges as kindred in Christ all who share in this confession. It looks to the Word of God in the Scriptures, and to the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, to prosper its creative and redemptive work in the world. It claims as its own the faith of the historic Church expressed in the ancient creeds and reclaimed in the basic insights of the Protestant Reformers. It affirms the responsibility of the Church in each generation to make this faith its own in reality of worship, in honesty of thought and expression, and in purity of heart before God. In accordance with the teaching of our Lord and the practice prevailing among evangelical Christians, it recognizes two sacraments: Baptism and the Lordês Supper or Holy Communion.

3 The provisions herein define and regulate the General Synod and those Covenanted Ministries, Affiliated Ministries, and Associated Ministries, as hereinafter set forth, of the United Church of Christ which are related to the General Synod and describe the free and voluntary relationships which the Local Churches, Associations, Conferences and ministers sustain with the General Synod and with each other. The pattern of relationships and procedures so described is recommended to Local Churches, Associations, Conferences and ministers, to enable them more effectively to accomplish their tasks and the work of the United Church of Christ.

ARTICLE I. NAME

4 The name of this Church shall be UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST.

ARTICLE II. STRUCTURE

5 The United Church of Christ is composed of Local Churches, Associations, Conferences and the General Synod.

ARTICLE III. COVENANTAL RELATIONSHIPS

6 Within the United Church of Christ, the various expressions of the church relate to each other in a covenantal manner. Each expression of the church has responsibilities and rights in relation to the others, to the end that the whole church will seek Godês will and be faithful to Godês mission. Decisions are made in consultation and collaboration among the various parts of the structure. As members of the Body of Christ, each expression of the church is called to honor and respect the work and ministry of each other part. Each expression of the church listens, hears, and carefully considers the advice, counsel, and requests of others. In this covenant, the various expressions of the United Church of Christ seek to walk together in all Godês ways.

Seems Racist Wright has strayed a long ways in the opposite direction of God's will and Christ's teachings.

I don't know the UCC but when I think of Bill Moyers (prominent member/minister in UCC) and when I think of other ultra-liberal types I have known who move beyond/outside of Christianity, i.e., people who are Unitarian, Quaker (Society of Friends), etc. then I strongly suspect that many in the UCC hierarchy don't care much at all about the Christian gospel and at this point in history are merely using it as a cloak of convenience for their "social change" agendas. It may be comfortable to them, or it may simply be a "social" community at this point, but I doubt that there is much religiosity left among the people who could do anything about Rev. Wright (if they even wanted to, which is in doubt).

Again, not speaking from experience of the UCC but I strongly suspect that Wright has many fellow travelers there, and that people like Moyers would sooner leave that church than utter a critical word toward Jeremiah Wright.

But then that would mean they are an isolated communist movement apart from the larger. And they are not. They are only using race to stir up hatred and division, setting the stage for revolution. By "white enemy" they of course mean white capitalists (also pro-American black and other ones). These people have no problems with white leftists like Obama's pal Bill Ayers and the like. And they certainly have no problems with Russian communists.

You are right.

They are ALL in bed with each other.

Hitler also used the above tactics to take power.

So I would not frame it as “ONLY” using race etc.

But I know what you mean.

The Left’s Lust for Revolutionary Transformation
By James Lewis

http://www.freedomsenemies.com/_more/leftslust.htm

Excerpt:

‘Hitler and his criminal gang hated the rich, the capitalists, the Jews, the Christian Churches, and ‘the System’.

‘They went through their Leftist phase early in life, and then went on to discover Aryan racial purity as their beau ideal’

‘Everything must be different!” or “Alles muss anders sein!” was a slogan of the Nazi Party.’

End excerpt

The Nazi slogan ‘Everything must be different’ brings to mind Obama’s and Hilary’s, olmost manic, emphases on “change” — that we here so much about these days.

Thanks for your post.

To liberal churches, all those words are just junk.

They don’t mean a thing - usually because they redefine all the terms to suite their purposes.

Look at this:

“... It looks to the Word of God in the Scriptures, and to the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, to prosper its creative and redemptive work in the world...”

That is very loosely worded. It could mean almost anything you might want it to. Apparently Marxism is part of it’s “creative work”.

Any church that’s going to bless gay unions will be open to any godless abomination you can imagine.
