Until the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Senator Obama’s spiritual mentor in Black Liberation Theology, popped out of the woodwork, I didn’t even know about BLT — Black Liberation Theology. But the doctrines of Black Liberation have been preached since 1966 in black churches, with the enthusiastic support of white churches of the Left, notably the United Church of Christ. The Rev. Wright runs an official UCC church. <\/p>\n

Though I am not a professional theologian, I daresay that Jesus would not, repeat not, approve of BLT. Because Black Liberation Theology seems to go straight against every single word in the Sermon on the Mount. Odd that the UCC has never noticed that over the last fifty years. <\/p>\n

In fact, the liberal churches have bestowed great influence and prestige on the inventor of Black Liberation Theology, a Dr. James Hal Cone. Writes Dr. Cone, among other things, <\/p>\n

* “Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him.” <\/p>\n

* “All white men are responsible for white oppression.” <\/p>\n

* “While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism.”<\/p>\n

* “Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man “the devil.”” <\/p>\n

* “The black theologian must reject any conception of God which stifles black self-determination by picturing God as a God of all peoples.” <\/p>\n

* “We have had too much of white love, the love that tells blacks to turn the other cheek and go the second mile. What we need is the divine love as expressed in black power, which is the power of blacks to destroy their oppressors, here and now, by any means at their disposal.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently liberal religious authorities like those at the United Church of Christ love this preaching so much that they have made Dr. Cone a professor at the Union Theological Seminary, the “Charles Augustus Briggs Distinguished Professor of Systematic Theology.” It is a stamp of official approval for a peddler of race hatred. <\/p>\n
