This same type of thinking led Christ's followers to externalize their inner experience of his lasting power through the story of the bodily resurrection. Those who knew Jesus "had been captivated by the magnetic power of his personality," King writes, which led them to believe that he "could never die."[vi] The living and eternal presence they experienced was then transferred into the story of a bodily resurrection.

I am simply amazed and dumb-founded.

So this so-called "Man of GOd" was a liar and hypocrit.

He had no religion, he was not a Christian, and he continually denied Christ.

Whatever respect I use to have for this idiot has now faded away.

Same here. Dumbfounded is the word. I was not aware of all this. And to think, just about every major city in America has a “Martin Luther King Street” Avenue or Blvd. The black community reverences those streets, and almost all of their churches theology about creation, the Bible, and Christ, would be diametrically opposite to their great hero’s. Incredible.

I think we should read a balanced view rather than just one article. How valid is a writer who writes about someone after he is dead? Perhaps he’s correct, perhaps not, I think we needs to read more about this.
