Our brother Job found videos of James Cone explaining his contrived theology in his own words. There are 2 videos to review. Viewing both gives full details of what I’ll be covering in this particular post.
A Conversation with James Cone
This is how deluded you become if you put your skin tone above sound doctrine.
This is the 2nd video, Strange Fruit: The Cross and the Lynching Tree (October 2006). It is 90 minutes long, but if you want to understand what this heresy called “Black Liberation Theology” is all about from the creator’s mouth you should view both videos.
But regarding the videos above. I noticed some interesting things when viewing the first YouTube video that is above:
James Cone created his own faith, to address his “blackness”.A theology to serve his flesh, because of his hang-up about some who played on race themselves. Flesh serving evil responded to, with more flesh serving evil and ignoring Colossians 3:9-17. Cone’s theology rest on past deeds of evil, in some White’s lust for serving flesh, responded to with Cone’s own Black lust for serving his own flesh.
He sees a White majority as “White supremacy”.This gives Cone a means to try and shakedown even the White person who notes they were not alive during many of the atrocities he hinges his contrived faith (race cult) on. Christianity is not about political fights against Romans or Whites either, it’s about Christ and Him crucified for our sins, because we all need a savior. No matter who the majority is, every minority is just as unrighteous as the majority, Romans 3:9-20.
Feels Clarance Thomas is “White”.By definition, while advocates of “Black Liberation Theology” deny it, they see Black as good and White as evil. The label of “White” is given to Clarance Thomas, to assert he does evil in their eyes.
Claims Black theology came into being to address White supremacy.So instead of preaching Christ, he preaches race. Black good, because White bad. This causes people to accept justification by the mere fact they are a certain skin tone and might encounter a hassle because of it. It departs from every individual knowing they themselves are depraved and need to have faith on Christ for forgiveness of sins.
Calls the crucifixion of Christ a “1st Century Lynching”.So now he asserts any murder of a man is on a level with the sacrifice of Christ. This departs from scripture speaking of people being persecuted for the cause of Christ, to claiming persecution because of race is all like Christ, even if the person persecuted denied Christ.
Calls Jesus a “victim of lynching”.Jesus Christ is reduced from our Lord who laid down His life for His sheep, John 10:14-15. Lowered from NO ONE TAKING HIS LIFE, but He laying it down, John 10:17-18, to a mere “victim”.
Claims the Cross all about Jesus taking on the suffering of the victim (like Black people).Jesus was taking on the sins of the world. Sins of people in need of a savior, that are called to Him by His Father. It was not simply an act of accepting anyone’s suffering and treating anyone that is killed for whatever reason as if they are a sort of Christ. Jesus died because we are depraved and needed His blood to cover the sins of those who believe on Him, not merely because we kill each other, 1 John 1. If a person dies by lynching who does not have Christ, they go to the SAME HELL that the person lynching them goes do if they don’t repent, Acts 4:12.
Claims God is present in every lynched Black body. Sees a lynched Black on par with Christ being crucified.See the prior bullet point above. What Cone speaks is NOT the gospel of the Lord Jesus.
Claims for Whites to be saved they must identify with Blacks. Pay reparations to Blacks.Salvation by works with a plea for money! Now instead of a person not being responsible for their father’s sin, Cone has claimed Whites can’t find God unless they go through him and other Blacks. No one is responsible for another person’s sins, Ezekiel 18:20. And salvation comes via faith on Christ, not works, Romans 3:28.
Claims Whites must give back what they took from Blacks.OK, so some White person who only reads about slavery in history books needs to give something to Blacks? This is lunacy. If you see the bullet points above, this is clearly a false gospel. Christians forgive those who wronged them, Matthew 6:14-15.
Claims people doing well can’t read scripture correctly.Who is Cone to proclaim someone can’t be doing well and be elect of God? God really can elect who He wants to elect and with Him anyone might be granted repentance and salvation. Including the rich, Matthew 19:24-26. Unlike Cone, God really is no respecter of persons, Romans 2:11.
Seems to feel scripture is half man inspired and half God inspired. Does NOT feel scripture is God’s literal Word.And here is where all cults prove themselves to be cults. They always must tinker with scripture in some way. Cone feels you can’t take scripture literally, so he props himself up as one you must listen to. False prophet and false teacher.
Feels the writing of scripture was fallible.He’s not talking about a translation or copy of a manuscript, but asserting the initial writing of scripture was fallible. Departing from scripture being the SURE WORD preserved by the Holy Spirit, 2 Peter 1:16-21. This makes scripture something other than the Word of God, nothing but a trashy tainted work. Cone tramples the gospel.
Does not feel any religion has all truth.And there goes the Baal cult statement! Basically he’s opening the door to all religions being on equal footing, a total Baal cult statement. The Holy Spirit helps believers come to know all truth as the Lord wills. Cone denies the statements of Christ, denies the Word of God, John 16:13 and 1 John 2:27. James Cone clearly follows another jesus.
Cone was asked: What can an individual do to transform the way religion works in this country?Cone’s response:
They have to bear witness to the god they know.
Baal statement again. He’s thinking anything that enters the mind of man as God is acceptable and does not realize the depravity of man’s heart, Genesis 6:5. Satan poses as an angel of light and such evil resides in Cone’s false teaching, 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.
Says people must join movements of “justice”.Nothing said about Jesus. For him the gospel is “justice”, not really Jesus. He uses Jesus as a means for earthly “justice”. He sees hope when people are resisting oppression inflicted on them. Feels White supremacy is a “little cross”. If you’ve been reading above, you see James Cone is not speaking the Gospel of the Lord Jesus at all.
From Harvard video:
Speaks of an American Christ.Lunacy.
Speaks of a re-crucified Black Christ.More lunacy.
Got into ministry to fight White Supremacy.Explains why he created an apostate heresy he teaches to others. He’s following the god of his own flesh.
Claims lynching of Blacks in the modern American Criminal Justice System.So now even a thug in prison is Christ too in the eyes of James Cone.
Did you notice he went away from talking about the cross, to talking about lynching?He uses faith as a cover and then preaches his true gospel, which is nothing but a message of race. A gospel of and for the flesh.
He talks about Muslims abused in Iraq and tries to link that to lynching and hence claim it’s like Christ’s crucifixion!Total and complete apostate heresy. Cone lauds not just people who die for things other than the cause of Christ as a form of Christ, but even people who suffer and outright denied the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Making those who deny the Lord his lord.
Says Black people are Christ figures. No mention of the faith of the Black person, just by virtue of them being Black and abused, they are Christ in his mind…But they lie and claim they don’t teach Black superiority.
REPARATIONS, REPARATIONS, REPARATIONS!!!The money hook is always out.
He’s holding all Whites accountable for things no White today was part of.More of the same holding people to blame for sins that God has declared they are not accountable for.
From the Q&A he says that he likes the idea of Jesus as a rapper!Why have Jesus as Lord, when you can have Him as your rapping entertainer on stage?
Says: I use Christian language because that’s the language I grew up with. He wants everyone to apply his view to anything and it seems he is OK with it being applied even to cult figures, like in China it being applied to Buddha because that’s a predominate belief there.Cone only leverages facets of Christianity, because it is accepted here, not because he really feels Jesus is the only means to salvation, John 14:6. Cone makes up his own jesus in his fleshly mind as he goes along.
Feels Blacks can inspire homosexual movements and abortion efforts too.You name the Leftist movement and Cone will apply his heresy to it! All abominations included.
Cone’s is a false theology rooted in his own personal philosophy. If all of the above did not help you understand what is wrong with James Cone, Lord willing, 1 Corinthians 2 will help you better understand.
In a book written to try and have homosexuals accepted as something other than sinners in need of repentance in the ?African American Church? (book titled A Whosoever Church: Welcoming Lesbians and Gay Men Into African American Congregations), the writers interviewed Cone. Just see what he said at the bottom of page 209 in the book. He again mentions he does not take scripture literally and blames attitudes against the abomination of homosexuality on White people. And if you look at the back cover of the book, look who applauds the book, Jeremiah Wright!
What you’ve seen is the true core doctrine of the heresy, that was passed from from James Cone, to people like Jeremiah Wright, right down to Wright’s student Barack Hussein Obama, Junior and Trinity United Church of Christ’s new head pastor Otis Moss, III. If you listen to Obama’s speeches now after reviewing everything here, I think you’ll be able to identify Obama speaking the same heresy. It is very apparent when you are aware of how this false “Black Liberation Theology” doctrine works.
IC, just to piggyback on your observation on the following point” “He sees a White majority as “White supremacy”. ”
White supremacy has nothing to do with whites making “all the rules by which this country is governed”.
It (white supremacy) is a demonic state of mind, which governs the way that some whites view and treat non-whites. It has nothing to do with the number of people who are making the rules. If the majority of the lawmakers were black, would it still be White Supremacy?
Lemme tell you a little story. Due to “above average academic ability and potential” [not that I have any..] I went into a program called the Black Leadership Programme, run by a lady called Yolande Beckles. This woman was [and presumable still is…] steeped in this theology, of course I didn’t know it then. All she could talk about what the freedom of the Black nation, and I was sat there, thinking, “What is she on?”. I’ve lived in England, all my life, and I’d never felt inferior to any White English person. This theology is nothing more, nothingless than a Black guy who values his melanine to his “faith”, if he ever had one
