“Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Matthew 7:15‭-‬16 NLT

The black church in the USA has become the handmaid of this world, instead of the bride of Christ.

Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.
Matthew 7:20 NLT

What an evil man! So he has no problem whatsoever with millions of women having abortions, says it’s consistent with Christianity? Wow! What about murder? Is he fine with people who choose to murder other people? Does he believe God supports freedom of choice for that?

Even if God believes in free will—and I believe He does—He also is a holy God who absolutely opposes sin.

These pastors who talk about free choice, how much time do they spend telling people that God absolutely doesn’t want children aborted? Does this pastor say there are good and bad choices, and abortion is an evil, vile sin, often the result of other sinful choices, like adultery or fornication? Does he tell his flock to go forth and sin no more, to stop making evil choices, like abortion?

Abortion can be condemned on secular grounds as a form of barbarism.

If you want Black children to be killed by their mothers, does that mean you hate Black people?

I’m so confused!

The purpose of religion is to strengthen the family and provide it with a moral core around which it can grow. Christianity and the culture that developed around it has led to the greatest human civilization in history. Other religions are hitching a ride on what Christianity has created. Were it not for Christianity, Islam would still be in the ninth century. They never left that century culturally, but they now have cell phones and medicine. If Christianity went away, Islam would soon be without cell phones, medicine and electricity.

The demographic collapse of Western civilization is due to Christianity being systematically stripped from the culture by governments. No Christianity, no children. The corollary being, no Christianity, pro-abortion.

Psalm 139

3 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Psalm 139, referenced by Tony Dungy:

Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

1
You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
2
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4
Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
5
You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

7
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

13
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17
How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.

19
If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
20
They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
21
Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,
and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22
I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
23
Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

Please review, compare and contrast with this pastors’ opinion.

The “minister” must not have heard the speech at the RNC last night by the former Planned Parenthood lady.

What in heaven’s name is “reproductive justice?”

Not a Christian. Not a church. Anybody who attends this building is NOT A CHRISTIAN. Run away!

Neither the son nor the father MLK would have agreed with that in their times. Jesse Jackson had pro-life views until he saw the “green grass” or “green cash” of politics in the 1980’s.
