“The orthodox attempt to explain the divinity of Jesus in terms of an inherent metaphysical substance within him seems to me quite inadequate. To say that the Christ, whose example of living we are bid to follow, is divine in an ontological sense is actually harmful and detrimental. “
An accursed heretic.
Screw him and all who grovel at his feet.
In his own words from 1961, King opposed the liberty and freedom of Right to Work laws in his defense of forced unionism:
"In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as right to work. Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining by which unions have improved wages and working conditions of everyone. Wherever these laws have been passed, wages are lower, job opportunities are fewer and there are no civil rights."
The Memphis sanitation workers sought to join AFSCME, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. This is a extremist, far left outfit contributing almost exclusively to the Democrat party and is known for its support of raising the minimum wage. This is the group that MLK supported.
Rev. King also obviously struggled with Christian moral issues in his life. Faithfulness in marriage was not one of his strong points.
I guess Dr. King’s “Christianity” amounts to believing solely that Jesus was a nice guy and a philosopher and nothing more. He appears to believe in a rather small god.
King was apparently a Baptist who rejected Baptist doctrine solely because he would get more street cred by being a Baptist minister than being a Universalist minister.
I find it sort of odd that King (and the author of the article) seem to believe that “emergent churches” gather people not because they preach the Christian gospel but because they preach a “feel good, smiley face, watered down” version of a Be Happy, Don’t Worry Christianity.
It was always obvious that Dr. King was a committed man of the Left. Is anyone surprised that his theology is so in error?
The capitalist system only produces poverty in those who are too friggin lazy to work.
Socialism is for the useless.
Annual MLK Day bump.
Annual bump.
Annual bump.
Annual bump about this Bible-hating, higher critical “Baptist preacher.”
This is an old article from a pro-King source which I posted years ago.
Annual bump.
