“The Pharisees also came unto [H]im, tempting [H]im…” (Matthew 19)
Being baited by one’s enemy is nothing new. (s)atan baited Eve with his questioning her on the veracity of God’s Word. Christ was baited by His enemies as an everyday event. The Lord was baited by (s)atan, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Herodians, scribes, and lawyers. The devil and his earthly fools, err, tools use the same tricks today.
The devil uses race baiters and other types of baiters. Before we go on, let me say this. There is a difference between baiting and testing or using wisdom to bring some evil into the light. Prosecutors use logic a person’s lies in order to prove guilt. Police will use tactics in order to catch a criminal red handed. While this can be considered a species of baiting, it is for a righteous purpose. The baiting we are speaking to is baiting someone for a wicked reason.
Today those that make their living by race baiting decent persons are wicked and powerful. The homosexual agenda is also known to bait as a tactic of wickedness. When the homosexual couple goes into a bakery, one of hundreds of bakeries, and cause a legal nightmare for the baker because the baker would rather not support the homosexual movement or agenda by providing their services, they are baiting the baker.
Call me a conspiracy theorist but methinks that there is a new opportunity for the left to bait the faithful. Coming soon there will a live stage rendition of “Jesus Christ Superstar.” You might ask, how are they going to bait the faithful? It is a race bait. The star of the play is John Legend playing Jesus Christ. John Legend is a black musician and very talented on the piano. The problem is not that Legend is black, the problem is Jesus Christ isn’t!!!
I’ve been in black churches before and in some of the churches they have pictures of a black Jesus. Wait, I suppose this is where I need to say I’m not a racist person, anyone that knows me knows this to be true, my children were raised to be color blind because a skin color is not something one can judge another person by. Now that that is out of the way, why would a black man be cast as Jesus Christ and not a Jewish man? This is a new trend in Hollowierd, remakes of movies are being cast with gender changes and ethnic changes and for what reason? Are they trying to replace the old movies that had white men in the lead roles? What is the purpose? More importantly, what is the intentions behind this trend?
The first person or writer or political commentator or religious commentator that brings up the fact that the casting of John Legend is strange will be villified and labeled a racist and a bigot. The term racist has had it’s definition changed by the leftist mindset. In my day a racist was a person who prejudged a person according to their skin color and sought to make life as difficult as possible for that person. The racist would put a burning cross in the front yard of a black person. The racist would spew vile rhetoric toward and about the black person. The racist was an ignorant and wicked person that should be overlooked in society as a person of ill intent for anyone not like him. Neo Nazis and white supremicist were known as racist and they are. These persons and societies are a blight on the human race and not just the black race.
The definition of racist has become anyone that notices race or speaks negatively about a person who happens to be black. Those that opposed Obama were called racist. I opposed Obama and still oppose Obama and it has nothing to do with his skin color. It has everything to do with his politics and world view and his attempt to destroy America. I oppose Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and Farrakahn not because they are black but because they are wicked and they are race baiters and the destroyers of men’s live and businesses. If anyone is racist it is those three. Farrakahn is the most hateful toward the white race. This devil is on tape speaking about destroying the white man. Jackson and Sharpton are in it for the money. Jackson is afraid of his own. Did he not say that he is happy when he turns around on the street and sees three (3) white boys behind him and not three (3) black boys? This is not something that would cross my mind but it does his. Methinks jackson and Sharpton are greedy money grabbing, headline grabbing race baiters but farrakahn is another story all together. Farrakahn is in it for the hate of the white man and the Jew. I would be classified and labeled as a racist for pointing these things out as well as pointing out that Jesus Christ is a Jew of light to olive colored skin like other Jews and John Legend is a man of dark skin.
I will prove my point with questions. Would Hollywood cast a white man in the role of the wicked “prophet” Mohommad? Would Hollywood cast a white woman in a remake of “The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman?” What about “Roots” did they cast any white men in the roles of slaves? Of course not and I wouldn’t want them to, why? It isn’t historically correct!!! Mohammad should be played by a person of middle eastern descent, Mrs. Jane Pittman should be played by a black woman, and the cast of “Roots” was cast with black actors. So why is it okay to cast a black man in the role of Jesus Christ when Jesus Christ was not a black man. Should a woman be cast as Peter or John?
What is at the root of all this recasting with gender and race changes? I can’t say for sure but methinks it has to do with an anti-Christ-ian white and straight man agenda. Methinks it also has to do with inclusivity. This world hates exclusivity in any fashion. We reported recently that an annual father-daughter dance was canceled due to the fact it excluded too many others. One would have to be blind if one does not see or foresee that this hatred and rejection of exclusivity is heading for the Church.
The Church, by divine design, is a holy man led body. The Scriptures are clear as to the traits one must have in order to serve in a local New Testament church. One of the traits is a husband of one wife. Women and homosexuals are therefore excluded from leading a church in Christ’s Name. They may have their gay church but it is in the name of another (j)esus and not the Biblical Lord Jesus. The black church can have their black (j)esus too, but it is not accurate and it is another (j)esus as well. I know that that certain mindset would read this and lose themselves in their subjective and out of control emotions and that might be fun to see. That mindset would label me anti-woman, homophobic, and a racist or bigot.
I am none of those things but I am anti-anything if it means the suppression of Christ-ian, white and straight men just because they are white and straight males. I oppose anything or anyone that makes hiring choices based on being politically correct. I am anti-gay agenda to be sure but I do not hate anyone nor do I have a phobia. I am not a bigot either, if I oppose or disagree with a person that is of a different race, it is because I oppose or disagree with a position or a premise s/he holds. However in this day and time, it is thought racist to disagree with a person of a different race.
The only race I oppose is the depraved race of humanity that is anti-Christ, whatever color they may be. A person’s skin color matters not, the color of their glasses do.
