Christians urged to embrace 'powerful' Black Lives Matter movement [The New Christianity]
World Net Daily ^ | 4/2/2016 | Leo Hohmann

A speaker at an evangelical Christian college urged students to accept the views of Black Lives Matter and consider themselves as having benefited from white privilege while looking to the Palestinians for inspiration in how to get along with one’s adversaries. The Rev. Christena Cleveland, a social psychologist who teaches at Duke University School of Divinity and authored the book "Disunity in Christ," brought a message of reconciliation and "love without exception" to Biola University in Los Angeles last week.

At a conference titled "Love No Matter What: Politics, Sex, Race and the Way of the Cross," Cleveland touted the contributions of Black Lives Matter and said Christians should be more loving and accepting of the LGBTQ community, Muslims and others who don't share their particular vision of biblical truth. Biola broadcast the conference to thousands over the Internet on March 24. The goal of the conference was to get Christians to "stretch your capacity to see different perspectives and different issues in a unique way," said Tim Muehlhoff, a professor in Biola's communications department who also serves on Biola's Center for Marriage and Relationships.

One of the more controversial conference speakers was Cleveland, a 35-year-old professor whose most recent blog on her website is titled "Trump, the White Man's Last Gasp, and the Resurrection." Cleveland's message was so antithetical to the conservative mission statement of Biolo University that some critics are calling out the university for sponsoring a "Bernie Sanders-like" message of humanistic socialism...

I graduated from a baptist college 20 years ago. Even then I remember a heated class discussion during which the professor looked heartbroken. He let those involved argue it out, but brought it to the correct conclusion before class ended. Only one guy was willing to say that Jesus was the only way to heaven. A few others argued that God wouldn’t condemn “good people “ to hell. One girl had a Muslim friend when she studied in Spain-she wouldn’t believe that he wasn’t going to heaven as he was so faithful and a really good person.

Christians have been straying from the gospel more and more.

The ‘New Christianity’ used to be called apostasy.

There is a new version of Christianity being taught in many of our churches...

Not new.

Started in the 60's; if not before then.

This is when churches started losing members because pastors were preaching liberal politics from the pulpit, instead of teaching and preaching the Bible.

It is not a peaceful civil rights movement.

The so-called "civil rights movement" wasn't peaceful, either.

unless you consider things like riot and arson to be "peaceful".

Occasional murders, too. Even amongst members of their own movement.

This isn’t Christianity. BLM is Klan. The Klan called themselves Christian too.

What part of “go and sin no more” do these fools not understand?

Oh yeah. The CONCEPT of sin.

Antonio Gramsci is smiling in hell.

In torments in Gehenna, he is sitting in fire, begging for 1 drop of water to cool the flames.

I'll "embrace" Black Lives Matter when 96% of all blacks shot to death every day are not shot by other blacks.

Until and unless BLACKS themselves start acting like black lives matter to them, there's nothing you or I can do (much less say...!) that will change a damn thing.

The American Black has been taught to blame me (a White man) for all the problems that they and their Democrat slavers/enablers create for themselves. That way, they never have to address their own responsibility for their plight.

* They are not responsible for most of their children not knowing "Who my daddy?"

* They are not responsible for their slovenly speech habits or lack of education.

* They are not responsible for the millions of their bretheren ripped from their abortive murdering Mommy's wombs.

* They are not responsible for the millions of blacks lying dead and stinking up our streets, killed by dey black bruvvahs...

Go get screwed, Mandingo. You're responsible for every jot and tittle, and if you try to blame me again, I will taunt you a second time. You morons.

There have always been heretics trying to distort the truth. They can call themselves Christian, but they are not.
