MLK Jr. Wasn’t Who We Thought He Was | Ep 985

Today we’re joined by BlazeTV contributor Delano Squires to discuss social justice activists and DEI, marriage and the family, and whether or not Martin Luther King Jr. was a Christian. Did MLK believe in the bodily resurrection? If not, does this mean his work was NOT beneficial to society? Plus, South Carolina women's basketball coach Dawn Staley recently said biological men should participate in women's sports if they identify as women. But does she really believe this, and what are the implications?

“Testosterone is not a social construct” 💯

[@FollowerofChrist1234]

Macarthur was not specifically going after MLK. He was commenting on how the organization Together for the Gospel crumbled by taking their eyes off of the one true gospel. That led to the organization honoring someone who didn't believe in that one true gospel, simply because he did some good things. There is one true gospel. Doing good things is not the gospel. When the Church makes doing good things the gospel then they have failed. MLKs work should not be celebrated by Christians as gospel work just because it was good. Likewise, Donald Trump's work should not be celebrated by Christians as gospel work just because it was good. Moral causes are not the gospel and will not save people from hell. There is one true gospel, a transformed heart by the power of Jesus.

Delano Squires is so level-headed, wise and well-spoken. This is a great interview. I think it's a very balanced opinion to say that no one is perfect and a person is capable of being imperfect while also doing good in the world. I had thought MLK Jr. was a Christian and whether he was or not, it cannot be said he didn't have a huge impact on the racial divide. His stand-point on race would disagree with the woke, CRT as he believed we should be judged on our character, not our skin colour.

[@ifeifesi]

White conservatives seem to think that being black, intelligent and well spoken are rare qualities to be found in us. Believe it or not, God did not make us black people less than.

Honest question- Why is it only trans women trying to get into women's sports. I don't ever hear about trans men wanting to play professional biological men's sports like football or basketball. I feel like I know the answer to that but I guess my question is more why is no one talking about this? I suppose my question is more rhetorical but I really wish people would talk about this more.

[@yjk5737]

I don't think there's anything stopping them. The new NAIA rules explicitly state that they allow anyone to play on men's teams while only allowing cisgender women to play on women's teams (they don't allow either transgender women or transgender men who have started hormone therapy to play on women's teams).

[@brettanderson6539]

Hi, there are trans men trying to get into mens sport, but no one cares because biological women are not fast enough or big enough to compete so their unequal ability keeps them from qualifying for mens events. I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but mens and women bodies are different so it doesn't go both ways

[@sabl6381]

Because men know they can clean house if they play in a women's league, and women know they'll get destroyed if they enter a physical thunder dome with men. Reality underpins it, much to the operation's chagrin.

Obviously, they can't compete.

Question: If Jesus destroyed racism on the cross (which he did), why the focus on race? I have Cherokee blood in my veins, but you never hear me mention my race, because I am Christian. Is Jesus your absolute identity? If not, He should be! If we put Jesus first, all else will take its proper place (Heb. 12:1-2).

[@stephenmac191]

Jesus did destroy racism on the cross. Just like he destroyed sin and death. But racism, like sin and death to, still exists. Why? Because the destruction of these things won’t be fully realized until the other side of eternity. The Bible also says there is neither Jew nor Gentile, male nor female in Christ. Does that mean that there is no difference at all between men and women? I believe everybody here would disagree with that! I’m reminded in the early church when the Greek followers complained to the 12 Disciples about them not being given the same amount of food distribution as the Jewish followers. How did the disciples respond? Did they say “why focus on race? Your identity should be in Nesus?” No. They designated people - non Jews to be specifically in charge of the food distribution. In other words, they didn’t pretend a problem doesn’t exist. Rather, they came up with a practical solution.

[@kamarwashington]

⁠@@stephenmac191Tbf race in that context was more of a national thing. It had more of a significance than what we consider as race today. Race (ethnicity/lineage) then meant you were an heir to Gods promise. The distinctions were very purposeful. The passage you reference is in regard to Christ and his lack of partiality. It doesn’t mean that we’re not different, but it does mean that our identity in Christ transcends our race, gender, etc.

[@stephenmac191]

@@kamarwashington I’m sorry but I don’t buy that the race in that context was more of a national thing. So I don’t think there is much distinction to be honest. The Apostles agreed with your second paragraph. But they didn’t use that as an excuse to 1) ignore racism and prejudice and 2) to do something about it.

[@kamarwashington]

@@stephenmac191 A simple reading of the Old Testament makes the national distinctions clear. Also, I don’t think anyone is saying ignore racism or something. The point is that that’s not the gospel, thus it isn’t of prime importance. We shouldn’t elevate our race above our identity in Christ, and we shouldn’t allow our views on race to ruin our theology.

Brothers and sisters in the Lord, don't try to argue reality without the bible, especially in the public sphere. The Bible is the book of truth, and is the only thing that we can stand on. Trying to argue the moral principles and spiritual realities of the Bible without the Bible, is like trying to preach the gospel without ever mentioning Jesus Christ. It's the gospel that changes the person, which can change a family, which can change a community, which can change a town, we can change it, a county, which could change the state, which could change your nation. But the only true change comes through repentance and believing in the gospel of Jesus.

HI ALLIE

[@CRoadwarrior]

The vast majority of people claiming that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was not a Christian have never read any of his actual books, but are going by school papers written when he was in a liberal seminary while being given liberal works to read and analyze. These same people have never read his book "Strength to Love," which is a collection of his sermons that tells us what he actually PREACHED to people. And if people take the time to read that book and others he has written, they will find that his Christianity should not be questioned on the basis of old school papers before he began preaching. I know what I'm talking about, because I have several of Dr. King's books, and I see, unlike others, how he does NOT repeat or reclaim his liberal school paper claims. So let's do better research about the man, and stop judging him merely on school papers.

Enjoyed the interview and both perspectives (for the most part). So glad for his work to restore the family. But I didn't find there to be great clarity on the issue of slavery and why it is more complicated than say the issue of abortion. We can't automatically place a slave owner in the same category as one who kills a child. It wasn't just Thomas Jefferson who owned slaves but also Philemon. Philemon's salvation was not up for debate because he was a slave owner. But if he was presently killing children or walking in sexual immorality or even drunkenness, it would have been in question. American slavery had it's ultimate basis in manstealing which the Bible condemns. But I'm not sure that the Roman slavery of the New Testament didn't sometimes have similar origins. Slavery has different forms and develops over time and is definitely a nuanced subject. One of our founders said that he hated slavery but that it was a long established institution by the time he was born. There was also distinctions made between actively capturing free people versus those who had been born into slavery. There is no question the Bible undermines slavery, but not the same way that it does murder and promiscuity. It instructs believers to be obedient if they are slaves, but also instructs them to become free if possible and not become the slaves of men. However, it makes no excuses for murder or promiscuity. Though I wish the Christian West had never participated in slavery and we did so at great and just cost (including the great destructions of the Civil War), it was also the Christian West that did something unique in world history by abolishing slavery.

Saying that the thing about Black Lives Matter above any other color in the world I can disagree on this podcast only because I’m white, I was brought up in an all black neighborhood! Philadelphia Pennsylvania go eagles! Saying that I sympathize with the Black people because they’re always on the spotlight so I understand these types of discussions. The lower class white people experienced! The same type of abuse becoming single moms raising their children why isn’t anybody talking about that? My father beat up my mother daily she divorced him but he he came back and did it again it’s the same thing no matter what color you are❗️ I just wish that someone would do a plane interview acknowledging that every race that God allowed to be no matter what color no matter what religion goes through the exact same thing! I hope and pray that you would do an interview like that and please contact me because I would love to listen to it. And if you want to interview me that would be great I have a story. And at the end of the story is that Jesus just the way I am. I pray for your podcast I thank you for it. I understand that people will learn from it. But I do not sponsor necessarily, the things that are going on with today as if the black population because in a spotlight we need to talk about all the time. If and so it is true, but it’s because of the media. There’s so many people who have been born Americans from our ancestors who crossed over here and started America, who were abuse mentally physically and spiritually because of their faith. But Jesus saved all of us who turned to him not because of our color, not because of our race, not because of what the world was feeding into her mind, it’s all about Jesus! Coming here in a human form to save the world! I would love., If you like, if you read all the way down here to do an interview with you. I love Jesus! He saved me! I was 24 years old! Regardless of my gender identity, which all your podcasts are great the few that I just watched. I’m just amazed that you by the wheel of God have not brought on just a regular person in the world that has experienced the top news propaganda, whether it’s political race, spiritual, and just bless for me against the name of Jesus!

Google MLK's seminary papers, they're online. He attacks a biblical view of substitutionary atonement (which is the gospel) and the inerrancy of Scripture. He was an unbeliever, this is nothing new. Scripture instructs us to look at the lives of men in addition to their teaching. The apostles would never condone or treat MLK or Karl Barth as partners or legitimate teachers.

I do find it interesting, even though Thomas Jefferson did inherit slaves, at that time of history, it was illegal/extremely difficult to free your slaves as he wanted to.

Is partiality a sin when you just prefer someone else's company more and are closer to them? Honest question, not looking for an argument or anything.

[@juliangodsend9418]

@@monember2722 fear question!that depends on the type of company you are keeping,as a born again bible believer with the Holy Spirit,I can’t be yoked with unbelievers as they more likely will want to influence me to be like the world and God commands that I come out from amongst them and be separate,meaning not partaking in the worldly (rudiments,traditions,festivals,celebrations,honors,ceremonies etc!! Psalms 1:1-6,2 Corinthians 6:17-18

It's nice that you use the cross when referencing your beliefs but what happens when you use the crucifix in place of the cross..... it takes you a step closer to identifying your beliefs... have you considered this possibility and is ramifications

Good episode. Interesting how one man's sermon can destroy a mans reputation.

You can still admire MLK for what he accomplished without agreeing with the entire scope of his theology or his worldview. Winston Churchill believed and said some horrible things, but I'm still extremely grateful for what he did. Franklin Roosevelt did and said much that I wholeheartedly disagree with and he seemed to think fascism was great--he loved Mussolini--but I am still grateful for his role in defeated the Axis Powers. I honor the legacy of the Founding Fathers but I reject Deism and of course I reject Jefferson's attitude towards Christianity and miracles. Same goes for a man like MLK. You can appreciate someone without needing them to be ideological--or theological--clones of yours.

This isn't it.. scripture doesn't push race..it pushes Christ Crucified!! Please just read Ephesians 5 v22-33 and practice this with Christ being centre.

[@stephenmac191]

Scripture doesn’t push race. But if a person, any person, professes to be Christian but has racist beliefs and racist actions, something is awry with their own understanding of what the Gospel is.

He wasnt the hero they call him

[@LoriLev1107]

Great conversation! I think we need to go back to the Bible on this and realize that men will always mess up no matter what great things they do. I was just reading this morning about Jacob and how after he wrestled with God he went to shechem and he built an altar and called it God. That's idolatry! I had never seen that before. And then when you think about what happened at Shecham after that... Wow. So yeah, the Bible shows us again and again that our heroes are not men. There is only one true hero...God!

ESPN fired Rush Limbaugh for saying, "McNabb is a good quarterback." They wanted Rush to say McNabb was the greatest quarterback to ever play football in the history of the world.

[@Unknown.servant]

Rush was fired because he said the sports world wanted a black quarterback to be the best "just" because he was black.... or something like that...........he was wrongly fired, he was also correct in his assessment

[@BB.halo_heir]

Everyone, please watch the documentary Uncle Tom II, it details MLK as a young man in college. It will explain so much to you. ♡

Black families, White families, etc? 1 Timothy 1:3-4 "As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do."
