Why Obama Won't Wear the <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
American Flag Pin
 
These six things the LORD hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him…
 A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.  (Prov 6:16…19)
 
My brethren, let not many of you become teachers,
knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. (James 3:1)
 
Now we understand why Barack Obama refuses to wear an American flag pin – his mentor and spiritual advisor Rev. Jeremiah Wright has taught his congregation that <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />America and especially white people are "evil" and according to Michelle Obama, this nation is "downright mean" and very difficult to be proud of. 
 
We have done some research and found where Rev. Wright learned his intensely hate-filled, Marxist, "Black Liberation Theology." The man's name is James H. Cone, currently a professor at Union Theological Seminary in New York City. 
 
Here are some of Cone's thoughts which have been imbibed by Rev. Wright and passed on to Senator Obama and other congregants:
 
"During the black-power heyday of the late 1960s, after the murder of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr, the mentors of Wright decided that blacks were the Chosen People. James Cone, the most prominent theologian in the 'black liberation' school, teaches that Jesus Christ himself is black."
"James Cone [believes]… Either God must do what we want him to do, or we must reject him, Cone maintains: Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love." (emphases mine)

Further information about James Cone's influence on Wright and Obama was published by The American Thinker on February 22:
 
"The influence of the black liberation theology of James H. Cone appears in the political philosophy of Barack Obama as well as in the recent controversial statement about national pride made by Michelle Obama." 
"Examining Cone's theology may enlighten us on Barack's political philosophy and Michelle's recently controversial statement about not having been proud of her country until the favorable reception to her husband's candidacy.  The Trinity UCC website was updated early this year.  Before that, Cone's book was singled out as required reading for Trinity parishioners."
 
"The time has come for white America to be silent and listen to black people. . . . All white men are responsible for white oppression. . . . Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man 'the devil'…"
 
"Michelle Obama's recent statement about pride-in-country is thoroughly consistent with both the Africentric theology of Trinity UCC and with the black theology of their spiritual mentor's (Wright's) mentor (Cone)."
 
"[W]hile Barack is the softer, social justice side of black liberation theology, Michelle is the harder anti-white-supremacy side." (emphases mine)

By now most of you have heard excerpts of Rev. Wright's "sermons" which are filled with errors, factual lies, hate, Marxism, anti-Americanism and tremendous racism.  Below are some relevant articles about this man and the Senator. 
 
The question remains – how does the Lord feel about the theology and words of James Cone, Rev Wright and their prodigies Michelle and Barack Obama?  As noted at the top of this Alert, activities and words which 'sow discord among brethren' are among the seven things the Lord HATES!
 
Christians, especially pastors and teachers, are called to be PEACEMAKERS, not inciters of hatred and division:
 
Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.  (Matt 5:9)
 
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'  But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you" (Matt 5:43-45)
 
It is obviously not up to me to opine whether these men are "sons of your Father in Heaven" (v. 45) or "sons of God" (v. 9).  However, if I ever talked as they do, I would be swiftly excommunicated by my very Biblical church. 
 
How to PRAY:
 
"Lord, false prophets are spewing hatred and advocating division in Your Church; please help us, Lord, before this goes further.  Please intervene!"
 
"O LORD God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You?... For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You." (2 Chron 20:6,12b)
