Is the Reverend Wright a Brother in Christ?

Jeremiah Wright, Evangelicals’ Brother in Christ, Christianity Today (5/7/2008)

The subtitle of the above post: Go ahead and disagree with Obama’s pastor. But remember: He’s family.

Jason Byassee, the author of the above post, argues that Evangelical Christians need to take the Reverend Wright seriously, because he is a Brother in Christ.

On the other hand:

James White recently spoke to the issue of Wright’s theology by quoting extensively from Wright’s teacher and favorite theologian, James Cone. (Wright references Cone and Cone’s contemporary, Dwight Hopkins, several times in the above video, starting at about 02:15.) White briefly and powerfully makes the case that Cone is a racist and, furthermore, a heretic outside the Christian faith. If White is correct, and Wright is on board with Cone’s Black Liberation Theology, are Evangelical Christians obligated to interact with the Reverend as a Brother in Christ?

They are Night Zombies!! They are… Democrats?

I saw this yesterday and had to share. While I recognize zombies reside on both sides of the aisle, I thought this was particularly apropos in light of the mindlessness of Obamamania.

Why You, Christian, Cannot Vote For Barack Obama

On Saturday, 3/29/2008, Barack Obama said at an event in Pennsylvania,

“When it comes specifically to HIV/AIDS, the most important prevention is education, which should include — which should include abstinence education and teaching the children - teaching children, you know, that sex is not something casual. But it should also include - it should also include other, you know, information about contraception because, look, I’ve got two daughters, 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby…”

God forbid his daughters might take responsibility for their “mistake”. Good grief! If any young women were ever positioned in life to deal with an unplanned pregnancy, surely the Obama girls will be. Daughters of a wealthy, intact and loving family, there would be no reason for these girls to acquire an abortion other than convenience. Of course, it would not be difficult to conceive a young woman having an abortion when her father refers to the contents of her pregnant womb as some kind of cruel punishment or disease.

This is not Pro-Choice. This is Pro-Abortion.
