Martiin Luther King has become an icon of not only the Civil Rights Movement in this country but of the entire American experience. Somehow his legacy has redefined the reality of the man. He was not who he seemed to be. Nor was he the paragon of virtue that was presented to the public. Though wrapped in the robes of ministry, he was in the view of many, not even an orthodox Christian, rejecting as he did, it seems most of the foundational truths of the Faith. Yes, he advanced the cause of race relations greatly to the great benefit of the nation. But he is now used as a tool of the Powers-That-Be to help fashion the New Order they are building.
Chad O Jackson, recently took on the MLK Legacy with a documentary called ‘The MLK Project.’ I have seen a fair sampling of his work on video and it raises compelling questions and presents convincing evidence. Jackson presents the case that “civil rights leaders of the 20th century sought not to heal the nation through repentance and gospel-centered reconciliation, but to sever biblically rooted institutions and replace them with government-centric ideologies.” To Chad O Jackson, King and the Movement was at work displacing the Jesus of the Gospels and creating a ‘substitute savior’ – the Federal Government.[i] And that is just what we’ve seen in the last 60 years. The government has replaced fathers. The government has replaced families. And the government has displaced the Church in the cultural life of the African American community. [They are not alone in suffering this indignity. This has spilled-over into much of the rest of American society. Just look at the growth in out of wedlock births.]
At present, Martin Luther King remains somewhat of an enigma. He presented himself as a preacher, yet denied the tenets of Christianity. He was careful to never acknowledge any overt ties with communism. Yet he promoted a ‘Social Gospel’, wealth redistribution and a socialist agenda. He once wrote his future wife, Coretta: “I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic.” In a speech given in 1967 he said this. “Again we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifices. Capitalism was built on the exploitation of Black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor, both black and white, both here and abroad.”[ii]
Then there is the notion of his credentials as a Christian and a preacher of the Gospel. Virgil Walker is an African American Pastor from Gilbert Arizona. In a teaching titled The Truth Behind MLK’s Social Gospel, he points to King’s own writings to draw conclusions regarding his theological beliefs. While working toward his doctorate at the very liberal Crozer Theological Seminary, King wrote the following. “The orthodox attempt to explain the divinity of Jesus in terms of an inherent metaphysical substance within him seems to me quite inadequate. To say that Christ…is divine in an ontological sense is actually harmful and detrimental…So that the orthodox view of the divinity of Christ is in my mind quite readily denied.”
It naturally followed that in other writings he rejected the doctrines of the Resurrection, the Virgin Birth, the Second Coming and a literal Hell. [This is an outright denial of biblical truth. The Apostle Paul wrote: “But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.” (1Corinthians 15:12-14) (NIV)]
His actual beliefs were much more socialist in nature. He yearned for a “warless world, a better distribution of wealth and a brotherhood that transcends race or color. This is the gospel that I will preach to the world.” King became a proponent of the teachings of Walter Rauschenbusch, the ‘Father of the Social Gospel.’ Jesus came not just to save sinners but to save society.
So, was he just a deluded idealist, in love with the romance of communist ideology. The FBI didn’t think so. In their reports they noted his association with such Communist luminaries as Stanley Levinson and Clarence Jones. The Agency dubbed him – in what is now embarrassing language – “as the most dangerous Negro of the future of this Nation from the standpoint of communism, the Negro and national security.”[iii] It is interesting, to say the least, how his status has changed in how the institutions of America now view Martin Luther King.
I will leave this subject with a summary of Chad O Jackson’s view of MLK. Viewing his documentaries, Jacckson sees King’s involvement with Marxist ideology as a factor in the expansion of Federal power. In addition he points to the Civil Rights Movement as having a subversive impact on the Black community as well as American society in general.[iv]
So, here’s the ‘Revolutionary Take!’ We know that the commies love to destroy the family. It’s in their literature. And this isn’t the only – but it is a complimentary strategy targeting the American family. At the same time this undermines the Christian foundation of the country. Couple that with the LGBT agenda and the Sexual Revolution and Radical Feminism and the Islamic Invasion and you have created a perfect storm to take down the foundations of the American Republic.
