TechnoratiBut Farrakhan is Wright’s enemy as far as the Gospel of Jesus Christ is concerned. (Rom. 11:28). Farrakhan promotes a false belief system leaving its adherents chained to their sins and slaves to a false master. As a Christian pastor, Wright is commanded to protect his flock, but by honoring Farrakhan he has exposed them to a ravenous wolf.
Farrakhan believes and preaches that “Master W. Fard Muhammad” is the “long-awaited ‘Messiah’ of the Christians.” This is not the Christian Gospel that Wright claims to revere. The Christian Gospel is Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. Condemnation awaits anyone who preaches otherwise. (Gal. 1:8-9). It also awaits those who do not believe. (John 3:18).
Wright praises Farrakhan for “[h]is love for Africa and African American people . . . and [as] a religious leader who is sincere about his faith and his purpose.” That sincere faith is inherently and overtly anti-Christ and Farrakhan’s sincere purpose is to drive people away from the salvation of the Gospel. How is that love for anyone, let alone black people?
It seems as long as someone does something for the “love for Africa and African American people”, the eternal implications of that something is of no matter. Thus, while Wright describes himself as a “Black Christian”, it begs the question whether he is a Christian who just so happens to be black or is it the black part that’s inextricable to his salvation? I pray that when Reverend Wright must ultimately answer this question he gets it right.
