‘Black Church’ Promotes Abortion, Gays
I don’t get it. When are we going to stop clinging to human doctrines and the vain philosophies of men? When are people going to stop playing Christians and start giving up their present selves to death, so that Christ Jesus can create the new man/woman? Don’t those who seek to follow Jesus know that HE is a Holy GOD and must be worshiped in holiness?
There is nothing holy about same-sex relations. There is nothing holy about murdering a baby. Out-of-marriage sex does not please GOD the FATHER. Killing an unborn child does not please GOD the FATHER. Why do some believe we can cling to the flesh and our own priorities and still seek after the LORD and do HIS will? It’s either GOD or its mammon. Jesus Christ said it cannot be both. You cannot compromise with the Devil or the world — your faith will suffer and you will cling to delusions instead of to the cross.
Apparently it is unrealistic to teach young men and women who profess the faith to strive to live a holy life before the GOD whom we serve (or are these Black church leaders encouraging the unsaved to stay in their sins?). Apparently it is an act of wickedness or meanness to let a child come into a world that may refuse to give it health care, a proper job, education or a ‘fair’ shot a life… it would be more compassionate to kill that child. Men playing god.
And notice in the article, with all the talk about ‘church leaders’ … there is not one mention of Jesus Christ or GOD or Salvation or faith or any such elements that are pivotal to the Church. So these folks gathered together seek to heal the world’s troubles by using worldly principles. Why would Christians need GOD anyway?
Article excerpt:
Black church leaders gathered at Howard University School of Divinity in Washington this week to discuss the future direction of the black church and what they said was the importance of advocating the causes of abortion rights and greater inclusion of homosexuals.
The event, part of this year’s 12th annual National Black Church Summit on Sexuality, featured workshops that spoke of the importance of pro-choice reproductive rights and ending what speakers said were failed federal abstinence approaches to sex education in schools.
While the issues that the black pastors spoke of are considered controversial and taboo among many churches, Carlton W. Veazey, a Baptist pastor for nearly five decades and one of the speakers that appeared at the event, summed up the purpose of the conference as one that would help highlight what he described as the special role of black churches as agents of social change.
“We can teach our young people, ‘Yes, I believe in abstinence only,’ but I also believe I have to be realistic enough to tell my young people how to protect themselves and to keep from becoming pregnant,” Veazey told Cybercast News Service, while explaining his opposition to abstinence education programs.

6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;
10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,
18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;
19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 But you have not so learned Christ,
21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,
23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
