Yes, I’d like to know how they come up with an “African Centered” Bible study. More hogwash, man-before-God rebellion. Anyone with half a brain can see through this charade. He may be serious, but he’s derailed and deluded and that makes him dangerous.
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....
