“Not on My Watch”
Obama's church doing him no favors
Quote:The new pastor of Barack Obama’s church delivered a defiant defense of its retiring reverend Sunday, comparing media coverage of Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. to a modern-day lynching that resembles Jesus’ death at the hands of the Romans.
Comparing this to Jesus is about as offensive as you can get to the average Christian ESPECIALLY on Easter Sunday.
Quote:“Dr. Wright represents the best among us … An attack on this man of God is an attack on all those of the cloth who believe in the social Gospel of liberation. And I will not stand for it,” he wrote.
There is only one Gospel for Christians and that is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Anything else is blasphemy.
Christ's view on those offended:
Quote:But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also.
Matthew 5:39-40
Seems to me the so called "Gospel of liberation" greatly distorts and/or misrepresents the One and Only Gospel. What a message to deliver on Easter Sunday not at all what Christ represents.
