>>When I googled the Rev. Arnold Murray and found out that he was a leader in the racist Christian Identity movement it surprised me to find his views being promoted on FR and even on this thread.
But I don’t really know the ins and outs of the religious forums.<<
Really? I’ve only casually listened to some of his responses to questions about the bible and had not noticed that - I would have turned a preacher off in a heart beat if I heard him promoting “racist Christian Identity movement.”
I have heard Murray, answer questions that were directed towards asking him, if he was supportive of these racist groups, and he has always answered in the negative...he has always stated on his TV program, that for one race to think it was superior to another race, was just plain stupid, and also was not supported by the Bible...
I cannot say, I ever heard Murray, say anything promoting racist Identity movements...but he has been on TV for many, many years, so I dont know all what he has said in the past...
Today he is quite an older man, with very white hair...but sometimes, in our area, they would once in a while run some very old reruns of his program, where he was quite a bit younger, with dark brown hair...
I think he has been on TV and on the radio and short wave, and for something like 20 years or so, tho I could be wrong about that...I just seem to remmember him speaking of this timeframe...
Goodness knows, I have heard next to nothing of the bulk of his programming...so what he may have said in the past, is something I have no idea about...
And since they discontinued him in our area(DISH network, always seems to be fiddling with programming), I dont expect he will be back on in our area...no great loss for me, as I have said all along, he was of an ‘interest’ more than anything else, and hardly important in the grand scheme of the things in my own life..
There are always plenty of other TV preachers on the airwaves to view....

I have never heard him preach, I had never heard of him until last night but there does seem to be a huge amount of claims that his teachings coincide with Identity beliefs.
Interracial marriage as a sin seems to be one of those teachings, I have been looking for a site where he answers specific questions but I haven’t found one yet.
