There is a name for it - it is called “Black Liberation Theology”. Basically, the idea of salvation to those who believe in such liberation theologies is that eternal life is of no consequence. They believe that liberation from oppression is what salvation is all about. Thus they pick and choose the oppression themes from the Bible and focus on them, making direct application to BLACK positions and history. They equate themselves with Israel under Roman rule, or in more extreme cases, as like Israel under Babylonian rule.

What I find so funny about that - Israel DESERVED both forms of oppression - the first because of their falling away from God and denial of His Son. And the Babylonian captivity because of their direct abominations to God (Idol worship in the temple, completely unGodly living and rulers, absolute corruption despite God’s continued warnings and opportunities to turn from their way).

In fact, some of those churches and preachers (I cannot speak for Obama-Messiah’s pastor) actually believe that Jesus came to deliver Black People only! Of course, they also say that Jesus, while born in Israel, was actually of Egyptian descent...thus Black Himself....

I feel certain I will get flamed for this, but this is a thought I have had for a long time - when one thinks about all the years the Israelites wandered in the desert, and of the scripture that says “there is a way that seems right unto man but is indeed the way of death” - I have often thought that, horrendous as we humans think slavery was, had it not occurred, how many people would not have been brought to the Lord? How different was it from wandering in the desert? Same thing for the Indians - history focuses on Americans stealing their land, but what is the story about bringing them out of the darkness and into the light? How many came to know God only because we came here?
