BLACK CHURCHES SUPPORTING HATE

To be sure, the Black Church should address the concerns of those within their community.  However, movements such as the Justice or Else movement, and the Black Live Matters movement, do not fit within the message of the Christian faith.  In fact, most, if not all of the rhetoric that define these movements, is decidedly anti-Christian.  So the question that begs an answer is: Why do some Black Christian Churches support such radical agendas? 

The Bible is very clear on how Christians should respond to unfair treatment and questionable ordinances.  Certainly, there is nothing wrong with peaceful demonstrations within the law.  However, under the Black Lives Matter and Justice or Else agenda, many Black Christians have abandoned the teaching of Jesus Christ, for the teaching of men like Louis Farrakhan.

This should not be.  The Christian Church has 

a mandate to be seperate from the world rather than influenced by it.  According to scripture, Christians have an obligation to obey the law and be peacemakers.

OBEY THE LAW!

Romans 13:1
1 Be a good citizen. All governments are under God. Insofar as there is peace and order, it’s God’s order. So live responsibly as a citizen. If you’re irresponsible to the state, then you’re irresponsible with God, and God will hold you responsible. MSG Bible.  

Titus 3:1
Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,

1 Peter 2:13
Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority...

Yet at a well known Black Baptist Church, Louis Farrakhan called for 10,000 black men to rise up and kill white people.  This is echoed amongst many of the BLM constituency as well.  If the Black Church is going to avoid falling into apostasy, it must return to the principles of Christian teaching and contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
