WILL LEFTIST EVANGELICAL DEMAND BELIEVERS
GET ON OBAMA BANDWAGON?

By: Frederick Meekins



Just because some white liberals are going out of their way to vote
for Barack Obama for no other reason than that he happens to be half-
black, some within the Evangelical leadership are once again beating
on their drums about congregations being too split along racial and
ethnic lines.

However, it they are the ones noticing this, isn't that proof that
those patting themselves on the back for their embrace of racial
diversity are in fact the ones looking at the color of skin rather
than the content of character?

So long as a church sticks to Bible basics and welcomes those showing
up at the front door, what does it really matter if a particular
congregation appeals more to a particular group of people?

Has anyone ever stopped to think that, provided so long as no one is
blatantly mistreated or rights to affiliate and peaceably assemble not
infringed upon, maybe God is pleased as after all it is believed He is
the one that caused different racial and ethnic groups to come about
to begin with as a protection against the human tendency to unify and
lavish accolades upon pseudo-messiahs?

Before Evangelicals rally behind Obamaism as some kind of miracle cure
to a contrived problem more in the minds of elites than actual
practice, perhaps they should take a look at the kind of ecclesiology
many of Obama's supporters in theological ranks would impose upon
Christendom.

Though someone cannot be held accountable for every inappropriate
comment that might fly out of the mouth of their pastor, there comes a
point where if the congregant does not disassociate himself from a
particular church by either speaking out against incorrect doctrine
or, even better yet, by taking their religious dollar elsewhere, it
essentially means that one is tacitly endorsing the stance taken by a
particular ministry.

If that is the case, then those taking seriously the notion that the
Gospel message is for all of mankind really need to take a look at the
sort of thing Mr. Obama has no problems allowing to slide by (like the
Che flag hanging in one of his offices) for nearly 20 years and even
more closely at the heretical poisons poised to infiltrate the
nation's houses of worship.




According to a transcript of the March 2, 2007 edition of Hannity and
Colmes, the church where Obama attends does not promote universal
values but is rather distinct in standing up for the "Black
family" (not just families) and the Black value system (not universal
values).

It should also be pointed out that this so-called "Black value system"
heralded by religious liberals are not exactly the same
characteristics the rest of us may be use to hearing from the pulpit
week after week. The things making up the foundation of Obama's
worldview sound like they come more from the pages of the Communist
Maniifesto than the verses of Holy Scripture.

For example, prior to having its seditious radicalism exposed in the
broader media, the website of Trinity United Church of Christ provided
a ten point program which included some of the following points.

"A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY." Ladies and
gentleman, this is code for confiscatory socialism. I wonder if
Obama's friends in emergent church circles and the like are willing to
surrender their bank accounts and property or like most of their other
demands, that is something to be imposed upon we doofuses sitting in
the pews.

"A congregation seeking RECONCILIATION." That may sound nice, but in
liberal circles that doesn't mean everyone striving to be polite to
one another despite past hurt feelings but rather that Whites are
suppose to stand up and ring their hands for being "White devils" as
Lousi Farrakhan, a good friend of the pastor of this church by the
way, calls Caucasians and to dig into our pockets to fork out
reparations payments.

"A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA" because as
the preamble to this document reads before it mysteriously
disappeared, "Africa is 'our native land'.". Well, if you are going to
harp on the need for multi-ethnic congregations, why should Caucasians
care about Africa as it is not our native land. If you were born here,
that distinction belongs to the United States.

Frankly, why would any white person want to subject themselves to such
nonsense? Furthermore, if a church propounded the so-called "White
family" and so-called "White values", wouldn't it be lambasted as
crypto-Nazi and the presidential hopes of anyone holding membership in
such a den of doctrinal iniquity rightfully dashed?
