THE SUNDAY CONVO: Black Bishop Encourages Christians to Leave Democratic Party
Paul Stanley of The Christian Post reports that a black Virginia bishop is calling for Christians to leave the Democratic Party over what he describes as a "cult-like devotion" to abortion and what he terms as a "rejection" of the traditional family.
Bishop E.W. Jackson, a veteran of the Marine Corps and Harvard Law graduate, says the Democrats' enslavement of some Americans, most notably black Americans, is the modern day equivalent of slavery and his focus is to lead an exodus, similar to what Moses did in the Old Testament.
"Let God's people go," Jackson told The Christian Post in a telephone interview.
"Clearly, the Democratic Party is the anti-Christian Party in this nation. They reject the Bible, what Bible-believing Christians embrace and they encourage the growth of what we can a 'non-traditional' family. That is morally wrong and a disgrace to our nation and our Lord," said Jackson.
Jackson pointed to recent statements from liberals attacking Olympic gymnast Gabrielle Douglas, the 16-year-old sensation who won the all-around gold medal in gymnastics at the 2012 London summer Olympics.
After her historic victory, Douglas tweeted a verse from Romans 12:19: "Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.'"
Her tweet brought both applause and criticism, but it was the source of the criticism that was the source of irritation for Jackson.
"The accomplished young lady had the nerve to give glory to God for her win," Jackson said in a written statement. "This apparently offended liberals."
Mary Elizabeth Williams, journalist for the progressive online magazine salon.com, wrote, "I've often wondered what it is about Christians like Douglas that unnerves me so... Douglas and her ilk seem to espouse a faith based on what is commonly referred to as 'The God of Parking Spaces.'"
Jackson also pointed to the Democratic Party's support of organizations such as Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, Freedom From Religion Foundation and even the NAACP as examples of how far the party has moved away from Christians, and in particular black Christians.
"What was once an historic and honorable civil rights organization is now nothing other than a left wing apparatus of the Democratic Party," Jackson told CP. "I will say that some of the local chapters still advance civil rights, but in my opinion the national chapter no longer cares for the average a black person. That is a shame too."
A spokesperson for the NAACP declined to directly comment on Jackson's comments, only to say that as a 501(c)(3) they must operate in a non-partisan fashion and that they routinely work with elected officials on both sides of the aisle.
However, Colorado attorney David Kennedy – who wrote "You Voted for Who? And You Call Yourself a Christian?" – disagrees with Jackson and even says more Christians should align themselves with the Democratic Party.
"I find the Democratic Party policies more in line with Christian principles than with the Republican Party," Kennedy told The Christian Post. "You can pick your poison if you want to, but I find it odd that some Republican elected leaders require their staff to read the works of atheist authors such as Ayn Rand. Does that mean all Republicans should leave their party?"
Kennedy encourages Christians to read the Bible and compare what God says in Scripture with what each party actually does compared to what they say.
OK Now lets play devil’s advocate. While this Pastor is raging against America’s FIRST BLACK PERSIDENT! I bet he would NEVER speak against those GOP Christians who have spoke in horrendous nature of Barack Obama calling him everything from a NIGGER, to Un American, a Muslim. One Bishop in NYC called his Mother a whore….a whore you heard me. Don't believe me. SEE FOR YOURSELF!
This is GOD'S ANOINTED HUH?
But what I find so strange why this is part due to the President’s acknowledgement of Marriage Equality. Lets see what the many Pastors are doing upkeep God's Kingdom.
See Below...(those are link you can click to read the articles)
And you’re worried about Gay Marriage. If god is coming for a church without spot or wrinkle. Then I guess he’s still sitting on the throne and won’t descend anytime soon.
I'm just dying to see all these Holy Ghost Christians vote for a Mormon when the LDS Chuch didn't even like Black people. From Joseph Smith Jr of The LDS Church read below
Had I anything to do with the negro, I would confine them by strict law to their own species...”
(Joseph Smith, Jr., January 2nd, 1845, History of the Church, volume 5, pages 21-218
In 1949, the First Presidency under the direction of George Albert Smith made a declaration which included the statement that the priesthood restriction was divinely commanded and not a matter of church policy.[36] It stated:The attitude of the Church with reference to the Negroes remains as it has always stood. It is not a matter of the declaration of a policy but of direct commandment from the Lord, on which is founded the doctrine of the Church from the days of its organization, to the effect that Negroes may become members of the Church but that they are not entitled to the Priesthood at the present time. The prophets of the Lord have made several statements as to the operation of the principle. President Brigham Young said: "Why are so many of the inhabitants of the earth cursed with a skin of blackness? It comes in consequence of their fathers rejecting the power of the holy priesthood, and the law of God. They will go down to death. And when all the rest of the children have received their blessings in the holy priesthood, then that curse will be removed from the seed of Cain, and they will then come up and possess the priesthood, and receive all the blessings which we now are entitled to.
