    The left does not bash MLK. They praise MLK.

    And conservative Christians who recognize that MLK's beliefs are not Christian ate not bashing him.

    The problem is you are a woke leftist.

    You use MLK as a part of your group identity - regardless of his or your race - but because of his race.

    If we were talking about a White leader, like Thomas Jefferson, who believed much the same in regard to Jesus you would probably not view it as an "attack" to acknowledge he was not Christian although using Christian language.

    Did MLK believe Jesus was God's Son? Yes.

    Did MLK believe Jesus made it possible for us to have eternal life? Yes.

    Did MLK believe we pray according to the revelation of Christ? Yes.

    Did MLK believe Jesus is God? No. He possessed the God consciousness.

    Did MLK believe Christ was born of a virgin? No, he thought that scientifically impossible and a mistranslation.

    Did MLK believe that salvation is supernatural? No.



    Test one of my guys - Kahlil Gibran.

    Did he say Jesus is God's Son? Yes.
    Did he consider himself Christian? Yes.
    Did churches use his writings? Yes.
    Did he believe in the virgin birth? Yes.
    Did he believe in a bodily resurrection? Yes.
    Did he believe in praying according to the revelation of Jesus? Yes.

    Was he a Christian? No.

    Why? He did not believe Jesus is God and he believed in reincarnation.

    Your wokeness is overriding your objectivity.

    Yes you did.

    You said MLK's seminary thesis where he was supposed to state and defend his belief was all a lie to get a good grade.

    WE ALL SAW YOU CLAIM THIS SEVERAL TIMES.

    Now you claim MLK's thesis was a lie, and MLK wrote the lie to get a good grade, but MLK didn't actually lie.

    And you suggest MLK's Autobiography was a lie, even though they were MLK's writings, but MLK was not a liar.


    I have read enough of MLK to know that he was a man of character. He wouldn't have lied about his faith just to get a better grade in seminary.

    Fiction unsupported from MLK Jr sermons and letters. Pay no attention to those who seek to disparage others without compelling evidence, they are the naysayers who seek to judge "another man's servant."

    Romans 14:4 (NLT)
    Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval.​
