A look at current events from the point of a view of a Conservative Evangelical Christian who stands firmly on the Word of God (that's the Bible for those of you at Berkley) and stands behind the Constitution of the United States of America. So grab yourself a big cup of java, kick back in your chair and enjoy another member of the "vast right wing conspiracy" making his voice heard.

One step forward...a mile of steps backwards

I'm listening to Jeremiah Wright's rants and raves to the National Press Club, and all i can think is how far our country has come in racial harmony...and how far back he is willing to take us. He claims he wants "reconciliation", yet his speech is nothing more the divisive hate mongering based on bad theology, incorrect exegesis of Scripture and attacks on those whose skin color looks more like mine than his.

I find it hard to believe that the "black church" that he so brags on is really like this...and those i know who are leading traditionally black churches and the few i have been in are nothing like what i see with him.

Yet through it all i hear nothing about the sin of mankind...only the sins of white America. And i hear nothing about Christ's death on the cross for my sins and his sins...but i hear him pull the words of Christ out of context to support is ridiculous positions. And finally there is nothing about salvation coming by grace through faith alone in Christ...but only that Christ is for him and his false assumptions based on bad theology.

He is a mockery to the pastoral ministry that i have given my life in service to God in and the worst enemy of real racial reconciliation to our great country.

There will be more on this later when i read more of the transcripts so that i can give specifics on how WRONG he really is.

Still waiting for the explication of the transcripts.

Keep in mind do have to work and manage issues at home and church before i can focus on blogging.

Where do you want me to begin? I just read the transcripts again and concluded that Wright is more out of touch with reality than i thought last week. An attack on him is an attack on the "black church"? I think not. I know black pastors and i have ministered with black born again believers...they are NOTHING like Jeremiah Wright.

And i'm about sick of his incorrect interpretation of the Tuskegee Experiment. The US government NEVER injected anyone with syphillus, these men were previously diagnosed with this disease and treatment was with held from them. That SHOULD have never happened, but to make up lies like Wright is making up is disgraceful.

This man is so full of himself and so blinded by false teachings, i really do feel sorry for him and even more so, those who have been sitting under this heretical teaching for so many years.

I probably will not be able to get too much more on this topic since right now i have more on my plate than i know what to do with it. But this i do know, i am concerned about anyone who can find a way to defend the venom being spewed by Jeremiah Wright.

Whoa there, big boy. "i am concerned about anyone who can find a way to defend the venom being spewed by Jeremiah Wright"? Nice preemptive strike there--"Anybody who disagrees with me is perforce insane." You don't even know what I think about the issue. Hold off on the scorched earth there for a little.

Well, i don't think i ever accused you of being insane or even supporting Mr. Wright's insane comments; but i do stand by my concern for anyone who could support such statements.
