JERUSALEM – White Christians are "make pretend" believers and conservative Christians emulate the people who killed Jesus, according to articles in a controversial magazine run by Sen. Barack Obama's longtime pastor that paint traditional Christianity as false and racist.
Stanley Kurtz, a National Review Online contributor, concluded after reviewing two years of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Trumpet Magazine that the Trinity United Church of Christ pastor practices a black liberation theology brand of Christianity that "sees his own form of Christianity as profoundly different from Christianity as typically practiced by most American whites and blacks."

What's he going to do if Jesus shows up at his door and is a white man? Maybe HE will take his 10K sq ft house and give it to po' white folk. LOL
How about “all of the above”

Sorry Obama, the “path” thru Havana or Caracas or Pyongyang or Teheran is not the path to Christ.
And I say this as a Jew.
Obama - America’s biggest internal threat to our security.
Still stuck on stupid, or worse.

Awesome video:
The same kind of terrorists who support Obama did this:

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.
I saw Gibson's movie. He did have a goy play Jesus (which was probably indicative of the beliefs of Mr. Mel “the Jews start all the wars” Gibson), but he put him in brown contacts and glued on a prosthetic nose.
I get so sick and tired of both sides, liberals and conservatives, trying to put our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in liberal/conservative boxes. He transcends the paradigm.
Obama’s pastor is dead wrong on so many counts, especially the “multiple paths” argument which is, black and white (no pun intended) wrong according to any reasonable interpretation of the Scripture.
He is right on a few counts, but wrong on so many more. If you take any issue, you should be able to see that Jesus transcends the paradigm.
Take homosexuality, for instance. The Bible clearly states that homosexuality is a sin. If He were here, Jesus would concur. That does not give me an excuse, however, to hate homosexuals, refuse to work with them, or preach to them in such a way that exalts myself as being superior.
Instead, I should be speaking the truth in love at a time when I am led to do so by the Holy Spirit. After all, it is just a sin and I have a long list that, save the grace of Christ, I would literally have hell to pay for. That is not said to minimize sin, it is just the fact of my being a sinner.
Christianity’s biggest problem has been those who use tolerance and love as a means to subvert the nasty truth about sin and about the way to salvation (as Wright has done) and, conversely, those who use the sins of others as a way of exalting themselves and feeling superior. Christ was ruthless in speaking truth and in living without sin yet he was the most humble person to walk the earth. That’s an amazing, amazing thing if you think about it. It flies in the face of everything the world tells you.
Jesus was an unbending conservative with respect to the truth and he was (still is, actually) a heart-bleeding liberal when it comes to grace.
Obama’s pastor, however, appears to seek retribution.
The scariest thing about Wright is that he and his circle of friends such as Obama and then Oprah have the platform to deceive multitudes with a feel-good, no sin, multiple paths New-age religion.
While I’m open to the idea that Bush may be a wolf in sheep’s clothing, that would not give me any justification for hating the man or even looking down on him. Even if Bush is a Baal follower, it still doesn’t make Wright right.
The only reason that I bring that up is that, in these confusing times where many Freepers believe that Bush is doing bad things with regard to the border, Israel, etc, a grain of semi-truth about Bush’s loyalties does not make everything else in Wright’s web true. After all, a good lie incorporates many elements of the truth. I do not have any idea what the truth is anymore with respect to today’s current geopolitical situation. I just know that Christ is Lord and what will come will come. Trials and tribulations, even THE tribulation, are not a bad thing if they lead multitudes to Christ.
I try to remember that from time to time when I worry if I’ll still be able to vaction in Florida or Vegas in 5 years. So, we are very likely to be stuck with Obama and socialist policy and a grim economic outlook. If this brings more to Christ, then it is actually not a bad thing. Doubtless, I will probably wallow in self-pity at some point, but I have to remember that.
I believe Bush is wrong on many issues and I have many times thought him to be a corporate pawn and a big-government liberal, but I still pray for him and I genuinely hope that one day in heaven, I will get to sit down and listen to him tell his story. After all, I’m not any less at fault for the state of the world than he is (only understood through the lens of man’s sinful nature).

bump for exposure
Obama is certainly no friend to Jews. Aside from his tacit support for regimes that hate Israel, his views on social and ethical issues are in blatant contradiction to God’s precepts laid out in the Pentateuch (which I’ve been studying intensely these last few weeks). This man is no friend to Israel, and no friend to Judaism.
