Joe Biden vs. the Church in Africa

Nowhere is the evangelical zeal of liberals more clearly illustrated than in the Biden’s administration’s tying aid to Africa and other continents to the acceptance of the doctrines of leftist progressivism.

For many decades, liberals have excoriated the nineteenth-century Christians’ global evangelistic outreach as a characteristic of colonialism. They have ridiculed what they termed the “White Man’s Burden.” But now they imitate what they have despised by taking their own messianic vision of “equality” to those they deem backwards and ignorant.

If they are to have relief from poverty, hunger, disease, Africans must accept progressive dogma: abortion as a sacrament; trans self-identity in place of the Christian idea of imago dei and identity with Christ; and same-sex marriage in place of the Christian ideal of monogamy characterized by union between a man and a woman.

For progressives, it’s good for Africans to be raised up beyond their adherence to outdated Christian values artificially imposed by Western colonialism. It is best they see that inevitable evolutionary progress that discards the opiate of antiquated monotheistic religions is obviously as advanced for them as the West, and indeed the entire globe. Africans shall be shown by economic pressure just how inevitable the new progressive ways are. Money for bread and water will achieve the transformation from the sacred to the secular.

With one enormous exception: renounce Christ and embrace The Prophet, and all is forgiven.

It is grossly inaccurate to declare that western colonialism was the primary means that Africans became evangelized. The later half of Acts 8 (the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch) shows how Africa was delivered the gospel; years before asia minor or Greece and Italy.
