Very dumbed-down definition from Wikipedia:
Systematic theology is the attempt to formulate a coherent philosophy which is applicable to the component parts of a given faith's system of belief. Inherent to a system of theological thought is that a method is developed, one which can be applied both broadly and particularly. While a systematic theology must take into account the sacred texts of its faith, it also looks to history, philosophy, science, and ethics to produce as full a view and as versatile a philosophical approach as possible.
Looks like the "modern" Systematic Theology is a highly corrupted interpretation of a seminal theological work from the late 19th cent.
His current research focuses on The Cross and the Lynching Tree, exploring the relationship between the two theologically.
Their both bottom or the barrel to me. Just above pedophiles and murderers.
Agreed...but, as you know my friend, we already are in deep trouble. It’s just that this guy would make it a whole lot deeper and a steeper hole (as would Hillary for that matter), particularly if the American people are hornswaggled and blinded into electing him.
If he is elected....I shudder to think. A man who snuggles up with racist haters and Weather Underground bombers. A man who is at his core a Marxist. Well, maybe that’s what it will take to force shock therapy on the USA. The question is, can America survive such shock therapy?
I pray God in Heaven to continue to support our nation with His hand so that we can get back to our foundational republican principles.
PING!
Thanks for the ping. The more the merrier, particularly as the information gets passed along over the cyber-waves.
BTW, just purchased and saw for the first time “I am Legend” with Will Smith. Great, intense movie. Really liked it.
While the message in that YouTube video needs to get out, all the “editing hyperbole” is extremely distracting.

Thanks for your work on this, Jeff. I didn’t realize the perversion of Christianity went that far, but certainly have no problem believing it.
This is an issue on which we should launch a relentless bombardment of the MSM until they relent and report. Yes, it’s a VERY tall order, but it needs to be done.

“Black hatred is the black man’s strong aversion to white society. No black man living in white America can escape it... While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism. “
Cone is the spiritual father of Wright, who is the spiritual father of Barack HUSSEIN Obama.
That’s all we need to know.
Exactly...the branches of the tree are clear and the acorn has not fallen far from the root.
You are exactly right MM. I have been emailing the info out to everyone I can think of...it is something that can have an impact if enough of us do it, and if enough of those whom we pass it on to do the same...and so forth and so on.
...and the main scream media always loves a chance to trash religion! even trumps the “if it bleeds it leads” story, sometimes!
Which begs the question...since liberalism is a suicidal mental illness, can cognitive dissonance by those who have already voted for the hater-in-chief, allow them to vote for him again in November?
