Op-Ed: A Letter to Black Pastors
(G3) In his letter from a Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King Jr. addressed black pastors attempting to understand the civil rights movement. King understood that his rhetorical arguments would impact a much larger audience and help those foreign to the movement understand its goals.
After the Supreme Court overturned Roe, as black pastors grappled with its implications, it was clear that there was a growing need for clarity on the issue of abortion. However, in the current cultural climate, few would dare to write such a letter.
Many white pastors fear being criticized or attacked, and many black pastors find it difficult to openly criticize a fellow brother, especially one who shares his complexion. Insofar as the “black church” is concerned, evangelicals fear holding it accountable for missing the mark.
Conversely, the senior pastor of Progressive Baptist Church in Chicago, Charlie Dates, has written many critiques aimed squarely at the “White Church.” Furthermore, media outlets rush to publish many of his hot takes on everything from gun control to why America needs the black church.
In his article for the Washington Post, Dates writes, “America needs the Black church for its own survival because the Black church remains the prophetic and priestly conscience of the land.”
If Dates is correct, we must ask a question. As America’s priestly conscience, what is the black church saying in light of the Supreme Court decision regarding the reversal of Roe?
Like many black pastors, Dates is woefully silent on abortion these days. However, during the…

Christians of all colors need to stop referencing MLK as though he was a true believing Christian. He wasn’t. He was a well documented unrepentant adulterer hiding behind a pulpit. And if just that wasn’t enough, the white papers he wrote while at Crozer Theological Seminary fully show that in his own words he was an apostate unbeliever when it came to casting doubt on the Biblical doctrines of Jesus Christ’s divinity, His virgin birth and His bodily resurrection.
“This divine quality or this unity with God was not something thrust upon Jesus from above, but it was a definite achievement through the process of moral struggle and self-abnegation.” Blasphemy !
Here are his letters as archived at Stanford https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/humanity-and-divinity-jesus

The fear of being called a “racist” has replaced the fear of God. TGC had a “MLK50” conference in 2018 dedicated to groveling to black people.
Die mad about it, you racist piece of shit!
In addition to perfectly proving The_Peter’s point, you exemplify a primary pattern of the progressive left: demonize over discernment.
The left has become so dependent on this, especially that one false accusation (“racist”), that they stopped thinking for themselves and objectively examining the facts (ie discernment).
Go fuck yourself! Martin Luther King was more Christian than you’ll ever be. You fucking limp-dicked piece of shit!
Obviously by your filthy unrepentant speech and hateful attitude, you have no idea what true Biblical Christianity is about. No wonder you think mlk was a Christian.
How sad – you need to repent of your sin and be saved.
It is amusing/ astounding those whom satan sends to this site .
