Now that is something that is more Christian ❗ 👍

“Cone explains that at the core of black liberation theology is an effort — in a white-dominated society, in which black has been defined as evil — to make the gospel relevant to the life and struggles of American blacks, and to help black people learn to love themselves. It's an attempt, he says "to teach people how to be both unapologetically black and Christian at the same time."

IMO, this movement which you adhere to revolves mostly around the issue of racism.

I also pay little attention to their findings because since I am not a scientist, how would I know if what they are saying is true? Many of those involved with this virus appear to be politically driven. That fact doesn’t take a genius to notice. Just look at Fauci as the prime example.

John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

As the # 1 killer of black lives taken out annually in America is by abortion. Is more than twice the current number (138,101 as of April 16th) of total coronavirus deaths worldwide. Thirty-five% of abortions in the U.S. are among African-Americans, according to the CDC. If we applied that to the total number of U.S. abortions reported by the (pro-abortion) Guttmacher Institute in 2017 (862,320 abortions of which 301,812 of them were committed on black babies), there are an estimated 827 black lives wiped out by abortion every single day.

I’m a thousand other kinds of a sinner, but at least no lawyer—but I think the argument could be made that precedents have been set showing that streets are now considered legitimate public forums for various painted expressions of opinion. Worth a shot anyway.
Of course the “Baby Lives Matter” slogan was a takeoff on “Black Lives Matter.” Perhaps the estimable gentleman from Nebraska could explain why, if black lives matter so much, black mothers murder millions of their babies; why black gangsters shoot each other to death by the thousands; and why more black men don’t step up to help raise and support the little black lives they have created. (Oh, I get it—it’s all Donald Trump’s fault.). Black Lives Matter is not only a marxist movement, but a ridiculously hypocritical movement. Apparently the only black lives that matter are those of a handful of black criminals killed by police officers, and not the many thousands of black lives destroyed by the hateful and irresponsible actions of other black citizens. I know this is not the politically correct stance, but I just think someone should have the nerve to point out the elephant in the room.

Anyway, I asked them if their spouse committed adultery and they never found out about it, would it still be wrong. They just looked at me and said yes. I asked them if the pain a parent would have if their child was homosexual could be overlooked. They had to concede that the parent’s feelings mattered.

Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Exodus 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

I only read your comments and then surmised from them what the argument was. I have also never heard of Gary Smith. I was not trying to come to your aid as implied, but was showing that I agreed with you; big difference. IOW, I wouldn’t lie for you or anyone else. When I became saved, I had or course never heard of the Lordship Salvation controversy. I simply knew I was a sinner and that Christ died for those sins. At the same time, I also realized that Christ was my Lord and Savior and I was to try to obey Him at all costs. I have challenged people to say they are saved and Christ isn’t their Lord and of course no one would dare say that.

I don’t have to make Christ my Lord. If I belong to Him, He is my Lord and I am His servant.

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

I did read two of MacArthur’s books on Lordship salvation. But, I was already convinced of that before reading them. MacArthur simply added to my understanding which what any pastor should be able to do. Prior to any real knowledge of the controversy, I had always believed salvation and discipleship were synonymous terms.

Now let’s see, you have a feminist saying something that is correct. That means she is speaking truth with the wrong reason. The below was satan speaking truth to our Lord for the wrong reason:

Matthew 4: 5Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

And of course His response:

Thanks for posting up the links on JMac. they speak volumes.

Hate is a horrible thing and it can destroy us.

I haven’t really been following this thread, but I did read through some of your comments and thought they were outstanding.

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

What some would have us believe is that Christ underwent a horrible death to atone for our sins, but then say God says it is okay to sin. They spin this, but that is the crux of their thoughts. My guess is none of these folks confess their sins on a daily basis. Anyway, here is a question I would ask them and they will not respond. Is Christ your Lord as well as your Savior? They would have to set up some rabbit trail by accusing me of adding to salvation solely through grace. There is no one that is fellowshipping with Christ that will say He is not their Lord.

Lastly, like one of your excellent comments alluded to; when did He then become our Lord? He became my Lord on day one even though a full understanding came later. The Spirit showed me He was my Lord and Savior from day 1.

And statistics say 1 in 4 American women will undergo an abortion before they are 45. So, the next time you are in a crowd, look around you; sobering thought.

Luke 1:41 “And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:”

African Americans say abortion should remain legal.

•80% agree when asked, “regardless of how I personally fee about abortion, I believe it should remain legal and women should be able to get safe abortions.

•71% say that ‘at least some health care professionals in my community should provide legal abortions.”

African Americans say we should trust women to make the right decisions about themselves.

•89% agree “every person’s case is different and very private and personal, so we should leave decisions about abortions up to the individual woman.”

76% agreed strongly with this statement.

And now for some of my rambling.

As prophesied, the world is drawing further and further away from Christianity. Only Christianity can give someone true purpose. For those that think fame and wealth give purpose, just look at Hollywood and the amount of drug/alcohol addiction, adultery and divorces in that community.

Without purpose, one of the alternatives would be drug usage. I have never taken drugs, but surely it would temporarily remove any anxiety, depression or lack of purpose.
