I know that preacher Jeremiah stands up for the black people because of all the slavery they went through, but where does it say he has anything against white Christians, do some people go overnboard by making harsh judgements ?

Guest man Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I know that preacher Jeremiah stands up for the black people because of all the slavery they went through, but where does it say he has anything against white Christians, do some people go overnboard by making harsh judgements ? We haven't had slavery in this country in over 140 years. If they want to move forward, they need to let go of the past. That mindset they have is nothing but an anchor.

"The vision statement of Trinity United Church of Christ is based upon the systematized liberation theology that started in 1969 with the publication of Dr. James Cone’s book, Black Power and Black Theology." I grew up in the 50's and 60's when Black Power meant anti-white. Lets look at their 10 point vision. The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision: 1. A congregation committed to ADORATION. 2. A congregation preaching SALVATION. 3. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION. 4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA. 5. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION. 6. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION. 7. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA. 8. A congregation committed to LIBERATION. 9. A congregation committed to RESTORATION. 10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY. Click here to read about Dr. Wright’s talking points for Trinity United Church of Christ its Web site and the Black Value System. I question how liberal this means? I also see nothing about the whole Body of Christ. To be honest, this is not a church that I would attend because it is totally focused on the black race. Do some more research on who they are and what they teach. I have nothing against the black race or Africa. The trouble I see is that this is all they seem to bring forth.

Or is it only for black people, the missionaries I know and who are my friends are white ,they live in Kenya but I can't see them being so decieved to believe that this church is a true church of God ? I really don't understand how this church could be so focussed on the Africian people first ...........that sort of sounds racist allright, but how can you be a born again Christian and not love all Gods children equal? very confusing.... Don't misunderstand what I am trying to say. I can not judge the hearts of those who attend, but I can see where they want to take them. Remembering where you come from is not wrong, but to create a new theology out of it is wrong. There is only one theory in Christianity, and it is from the Bible and is His theology. You say your friends live in Kenya? I am sure that this church does a lot for that Nation and that your friends only know about what is done there. They probably do not know or understand what the church is completely about, nor do I for that matter, but they will judge on what they see and here. Don't blame them or think that they are wrong for loving. In His Love, OneLight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
