  1. Interesting clip from 2:08-2:11.
    Deut. 18:20 “But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death.”

  2. Knight 99 – You will always be welcome. If you want some history come during the Labour Day weekend. Buxton has a parade, homecoming, celebration and learning time (as well as great food and drink.)

  3. I’m used to these kinds of preachers (and the truth is I like them because they don’t pull punches).
    Basically he’s saying “Quit relying on handouts and false leaders (like Obama, Clinton, etc.) because you need to stand up and be accountable and Christian. Stop blaming everyone else, and look to yourself for why there is a problem, why you have been slaves for so long.”
    It’s kind of surreal because in a lot of ways it is true for all of us.

  4. I think the best gift we recieved from the African American community is Jazz, Funk, Rhythm and Blues, Motown, Aretha, The Impressions, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, The Great Phil Perry, John Coltrane, Count Bassey, Ray Brown, Oscar Peterson, Ray Charles, and a cast of thousands.
    There are no better singers with the most fabulous voices than what he hear from the Black community.
    Some white soul singer have done the genre justice such a Michael MacDonald of the Doobs, and my old friend Doug Mallory from Dr. Music to name two.
    Black Mucians and singers are largely responsible for the development of the popular music unique to North America. Although what some white people did to Rock and Roll by way of Punk Rock, Acid Rock and other abominations is lamentable.
    I won’t even start with the great athletes.

  5. I think he really only got one thing even close to right. I agree with others that his comments on affirmative action are generally in the correct direction. My comments on the remainder of the message follows.
    I have a much narrower view than many concerning what constitutes genuine Christianity. Yet, I do not always reveal those thoughts on blogs such as this because I am aware that many blog participants do not themselves have sufficient Scriptural knowledge to evaluate the issue. This is one of those times I feel quite confident in stating that this man is not a minister of the Christian faith, whatever else he may be.
    Although his profanity is mild by some standards, that manner of speech is out of place for a Christian.
    Colossians 4
    5 Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity.
    6 Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.
    I Peter 4
    11 Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

    Many have already noted the racist tones of Mr. Manning. Perhaps others would like to examine this on his web site:
    God is returning world power to the dark-skinned, kinky-haired people, and when they rise, they shall institute a level of superiority that cannot be denied nor rivaled by the existing world.

    It is my estimation that most people know that this is quuite at odds with the message of Scripture.
    I was glad that the video carried on long enough until he said what he said at the end. It was at the very end that he said “I’m your last hope”. This is the most deterministic statement this man made about his real credentials as a minister of the Christian faith. In view of Scripture, a Christian would not have made the statements he made. These first two referring to “no hope” clearly describe those outside the faith.
    Ephesians 2
    11 Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands–
    12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
    13 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
    I Thessalonians 4
    13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.

    There are simply too many verses to describe the hope of the Christian. Three will suffice.
    Colossians 1
    27 to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
    1 Thessalonians 2
    19 For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?
    1 Timothy 1
    1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and of Christ Jesus, who is our hope,

    2 Peter 2
    1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.
    2 Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned;
    3 and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

  6. Brent Weston…Amen! and thank you.
    False teaching is weakening the Body.That causes more problems than atheism.The Sword is the best way to identify counterfeits.

  7. You are welcome and thank you. I was listening to a message recently on Ephesians 6. The man mentioned that the Sword is both a defensive weapon and an offensive weapon.
    You are correct about tares and false teachers compared to atheism. An atheist is honest about his beliefs.

  8. Not sure what all this means, but I enjoyed the parts where he rips Obama, affirmative action, and slick willie.
    And of course the shots of the gals with big tits … hard to get enough o that.
    I’m going with: He’s the black Obi Wan Kanobi … help me obi wan … your’re our only hope.
    Whatdya think 99?

  9. Heh… where I go to church, preaching involves actually caring what the Bible has to say. Not just putting on a gown and acting like you ARE God.

  10. Well’ he would make a good shock jock. I wonder which is worse, a guy who yells and hollers like this character or the spin doctors who are smooth slick and deadly in the messages that they cloak in moral garments.
    At least this guy can be seen and heard for what he is. The subliminal messages scare me more.
    Dr Goebels would have prefered the spin doctors that Mr Obama employs as they entrap you without obvious substance.
    think about it!

  11. Freedom Fan>
    I think it’s commendable when anyone speaks his or her mind, whether we like the message or not. He speaks for his black community and is passionate about it; they need some butt kicking from more of their leaders instead of 50 cent and Tupac.
    My opinion was he was very accurate with his 500-year portrait and “where has it gotten you”, obviously something needs to change and continued reliance on government subsistence and faked scholastic grades are not the answer.
    He also beat up white women, the reason? Watch the television, do you see any “successful” black man without a beautiful white woman on his arm? What do you think that presents to a young black mans physic and ideals of success? What does that do for a black woman’s self esteem?
    Blacks in America have it the worst with the illegal Mexican invasion of America. Not only loosing their jobs and traditional communities, but also they are competing with another minority which now outnumbers them. The Mexicans could care less about black civil rights and as a matter of fact have hijacked them for their own advantage. The average Mexicans are far more racist to blacks than any modern white society completing a very bleak picture for the future of blacks in America.
    I would say the old reverend clearly sees the coming future for his people and is fighting back with everything he knows how



.You asked.

  12. Pretty entertaining, the thing that amazed me was the stylish robes. Why do Christians like to dress up like Darth Vaders bodyguards? (especially the fundementalist types)

  13. An aside to Jim O’Brien about Ontario’s (Canada’s) ‘deep south’. I was just thinking how similar the landscape in south west Ontario is (in terms of flatness and fertility of the land and look) to the Mississippi delta and specifically in the area between Memphis and Clarkesdale (birthplace of the blues, the ‘crossroads’, etc.). There’s a potential angle there.
    Don’t really know what to make of this clip. What was interesting to me was looking at all the people behind him in pseudo-religious garb and grouped in together in ways to look religious and authoritative. They were keeping straight faces so they must be buying the stuff.

  14. Um K. That’s why you are the master of insight, Mr. Knight!
    But I still liked the big tits.

  15. really like the line…”don’t have the sense to pour piss out of a boot!” – gotta find a way to use that one tomorro at the ofice somehow..

  16. The thing that I find amazing that is going on and on, and on and on, is that everybody but White Christian Males can say anything about anybody, in no uncertain terms, and it’s cool.
    I try it and I’m a racist, homophobic, sexist Islamophobe, to name a few of the titles I’d have.
    Very strange brew. Unhealthy for people like me for sure.

  17. That’s the most authentically conservative speech I’ve heard in a looooong time; helluva world we live in that a black Harlem preacher is apparently the last conservative standing in America.

  18. Hey you don’t go to a black church to hear Billy Graham. Like Al Gore says, sometimes you have exaggerate to get your point across, send money and vote for Hillary.

  19. This guy is a walking advertisement for pride, wrath, and a goodly number of the other seven deadly sins. His whole attitude says:
    “It’s just you and me, God.. though I’m not so sure about you.”

  20. The First Amendment to the Constitution is alive and well.

    Praise the Lord.

  21. Beneath the fire and brimstone, there is certainly an element of truth regarding the state of African-American society today. 500 years later, they are still at the bottom, and Mexican-Americans will surely surpass them in every way.
    As an aside, I felt fleeting pangs of sympathy for my ex. His wife carries on like this every day….pity!
