Liberal professed Christians (many calling themselves progressives) at war with God and the absolute authority of Scripture He has inspired for men to know Him, His will, way, eternal truth and salvation are going to lose and if the current state of our crumbling society is any indicator, already losing (Psalms 2:1-6, 119:1-16, 89; John 14:4-6, 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:14-17)! All who have abandoned the literal, plain, objective reading, interpretation and application of God’s Word as it is written are not only seeing some of the resulting darkness, lawlessness, chaos and calamities now, but are in for even greater disturbing days ahead that will cause men to perish where they stand (Luke 21:25-26).
For over the past two hundred years liberal professed Christians have been more influenced by a sinful man centered worldview than one that since Moses has been God centered rooted in Holy Scripture. Beginning with liberal minded whites some of whom were former abolitionists, human reason that called itself “Higher Criticism,” the advances of science and an excessive concern for the secular political-social welfare of mankind to the near exclusion of God’s priority of salvation from sin caused them to challenge the Bible where the absolutes of divine will are articulated.1 They were more inclined to accept racial diversity and see racism with other human sins as social justice issues.
Because of the warmer acceptance of white liberal professed Christians and their view of the nation’s bigotry, discriminatory acts and oppressions flowing out of systemic racism as a social justice issue demanding a fight, it is easy to see why many blacks largely ignored by white conservative evangelicals were attracted to them and their emerging form of Christianity. Indeed, it was liberal white professed Christians in largest numbers that stood with blacks during the heady days of the Civil Rights Movement led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from 1955-1968. Tragically, their support for black civil rights came at a price as it also later extended to rebel movements against the Bible’s God.
Make no mistake about it, the fight for an end to the unrighteousness and injustice of racism in our nation could and should have been carried out within the framework of biblical conservatism.2 It was not because it failed to express God’s concern for the oppressed, but white conservative evangelicals abdicated their biblical responsibility in it as I write in my first posts of this year.3 This left the historically morally conservative blacks who did so after King’s death feeling as if they had no option but to abandon biblically conservative Christianity and align with liberal allies; degrading themselves in asserting their just racial cause had equal merit with those in rebellion against God.4
Today, having been deceived, liberal black professed Christians are updating a God, Bible and Christian religion out of step with the ostensibly superior modern times of sinful human invention;5 deluded as all others in the liberal Christian camp that somehow what is being done will endure. Not! You err as did the first century Sadducees religious party that came against the Lord Jesus on the biblically conservative issue of the resurrection they rejected. He told these men to their faces: ‘“You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God…,’” (Matthew 22:23-33, NKJV). So, you are not regarding the hundreds of Bible prophecies pertaining to the first coming of Christ.
Every one of those prophecies was fulfilled to the letter. In deadly unbelief, you are also disregarding the many Bible prophecies foretelling the literal return and Kingdom of Christ (Hebrews 10:37-39)! Truly, at His return Christ will crush every form of rebellion against Him (Psalms 2:7-12, 110; Isaiah 63:1-6; Revelation 6:12-17, 19:11-20:3). Repent therefore, for even before the awesome Day of Christ’s return, God has foretold He will not leave the world without warnings and a witness of His great power in judgments to commence sooner than any might expect (Revelation 8:1-9:21)!6 Look at the world of darkness, lawlessness and chaos you have helped create in your rebellion against God and His Word with the attending calamities. Does it really seem to you God is pleased?
Do you not realize when you break from Scripture as it is literally, plainly, objectively read, interpreted and applied listening to demons, you are rejecting divine instruction and truth as well as putting yourself in the way of the apostate (Psalms 117:2, 119:151-152, 160; 1 Timothy 4:1-5; Titus 1:10-16)? The eternal truth of God’s Word cannot be abandoned without consequence! Those who do not repent now will join with the apostate ranks of your liberal allies deluded by lies and “the lie” to help persecute God’s faithful to the death (Mark 13:9-13; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-17, NKJV). But as foretold too, the faithful will be preserved and vindicated by having loved the truth through faith embedded in the Gospel and the whole of God’s Word (2 Thessalonians 1:3-12; Revelation 20:4-6).

Nowhere in the Bible does a literal, plain, objective reading, interpretation and application of it present for examples, God’s acceptance of rebellion by feminists against His design and order of the family embodying patri- archy or any practice of sexual immorality that includes same sex relations (Genesis 2:7-25; Romans 1:18-32). There was another option available to those blacks that would engage in the fight for Civil Rights after the death of Dr. King: remain faithful to God as the only absolutely needed Ally and biblically conservative Christianity. ‘“For the battle’” was never ‘“yours, but God’s,’” (2 Chronicles 20:1-30; Psalms 103:6, 146:1-7, NKJV)! Having abandoned Him for wicked arms of flesh as allies, you for- feited the opportunity to experience His righteous and just victory over the many evils of America’s systemic racism this side of Christ’s return (Isaiah 30:1-5, 31:1-3; Jere- miah 5:20-25, 17:5-6; Luke 19:41-44)!

6 If your heart has not yet fully hardened into apostasy, assuming you were a real Christian in the first place the Lord bids you return from rebellion against Him before it is everlasting too late (Hebrews 3:7-19)!

The centuries of brazen bigotry, discriminatory acts and oppressions of systemic racism by guilty whites professed to be Christians does not grant blacks or other hues as objects the right to do the same.1 Indeed, their bad example should have served to warn any seeking to live out biblically conservative Christianity not to go there since God’s displeasure would and has taken many tangible forms. Nevertheless, as I also note in my book, The Scourge Of Racism, a number of blacks and other minorities professed to be Christians have not paid heed and have become embittered racists with guilty whites; participating in what is truly an American Church failure on the issue of racism.2
The reaction of anger leading to bitterness is an optional response to racism by its objects. I have written about God’s righteous anger and testified about my own at the unrighteousness and injustice of bigotry, discriminatory acts and oppressions spawned by racism.3 However, God as God makes “a path for His anger” in judgment and holy wrath (Psalm 78:43-51, NKJV)4 while unless we dispose of ours appropriately, it festers and morphs into bitterness that works evil, self-harm and finally destruction in us (Job 5:2a; Ephesians 4:26-27, 31; James 1:19-20). And from where does being an embittered black or other minority racist spring but bitterness as an entitled victim?
Though being an embittered racist as one that has been harmed by racists is to be expected from among those who do not know God in relationship, such an outcome is not to be the case for those of us who know Him. In the first place, while we may become temporarily angered by whatever mental, emotional or even physical injury we may suffer from a racist, we entrust ourselves to God the righteous Judge as our Lord Jesus taught and set the example (Matthew 5:43-48; Luke 23:33-34; 1 Peter 2:21-23). I will be the first to confess the teaching and example of the Lord as biblically conservative Christianity is far beyond my grasp in the natural. Nevertheless, God has not called us to do Christianity in the flesh, but the power of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:1-5, 4:18-20)!5
In the important second place, though we suffer injury from others often without direct cause in this sinful, fallen world, we know God does not see any of us sinners as innocent victims. None of us has received what we justly deserve for our sins which is instant death! This should birth humility in us at God’s mercy as it did godly men of old (Psalm 51:1-17; Micah 7:5-10). Are you being taught these truths in the church you attend? No, not if it is far from objectively reading, interpreting and applying God’s Word as it is written and conserving biblical Christianity from its beginning (Jude 3). To be clear, a black racist will suffer the same end as one that is white since God who judges shows no partiality (1 Peter 1:17).6 Depart from a church that facilitates rather than repudiates racism!

4 If through repentance and faith in the Gospel of His Son, Jesus Christ, you have turned to God for salvation, you will be saved from the coming global outpour of His full on wrath (Romans 5:9; Revelation 16:1, 17-21)!
5 Here is why biblically conservative black men as aspiring strong men of God in the image of Jesus Christ are so desperately needed and can help at this hour. They display and can faithfully teach other men about the enabling power of God in the Spirit to please Him and do His will as I write about in my book, The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics.
