Sinanju, Former is correct; your #12 is very well said.
Roger, whoever added the words “of God” to the title you used completely changed the meaning of what O actually stated.
As SumProVita pointed out, it appears he arrogantly stated, “WE can create a KINGDOM right here on earth.”
One wonders WTH is “we”, the basis for their authority, what kind of kingdom they have in mind, how they intend to bring it about and what result if one doesn’t want to live in the kingdom envisioned by the most powerful man on earth.
Nope, because that is what he is talking about in this context. He just has a much different (Gnostic) context of God than most people may have. Black Liberation Theology teaches to worship of the black race as god.
Black Nationalism has been much influenced by Gnosticism. Suggest you research what Gnosticism is all about. They believe in the worship of man, Jesus/Messiah is just a type and anyone can aspire to this type of spiritual perfection. The millennial utopian Kingdom will be physical government, brought on by real men. This doesn’t mean that it is not spirtual. Gnostics believe in a Pleroma, a Godhead, somewhat like the Hindus, but they don’t believe in an afterlife in a spiritual heaven with a fatherly God figure. I think the Pentecostal that believe in Kingdom or Dominion theology also have common Gnostic root influences as Black Liberation Theology.
