The founder of Evangelicalism was a white supremacist
Jonathan Edwards left a horror history that his religion tried to conceal
In 1997, a historian at Yale University published a startling paper. In the archives of Jonathan Edwards he’d found a letter defending slavery.
Kenneth P. Minkema’s paper, “Jonathan Edwards on Slavery and the Slave Trade,” revealed a secret the religion had kept for centuries about the man often called ‘the father of Evangelicalism’.

....A portrait was coming together that was very different from any which had been presented by the religion. Edwards had been a hard-core pro-slavery advocate. He’d attacked abolitionists.
Another local pastor had been under fire from his congregation for slave owning. Edwards defended the man, saying those criticizing him were out “to make disturbance and raise uneasiness among people against their minister to the great wounding of religion.”

....That is to say, Edwards altered the Bible’s presentation of the messiah in order to defend American slavery.


...The reality is that he hadn’t believed in the Bible at all. He was using references, very selectively, to create a rule of white supremacy.

He whipped a she-slave so long that she fell down at his feet for dead. When by the help of a physician she was so far recovered as to show signs of life, he repeated the whipping with equal rigour, and concluded with dropping hot sealing-wax upon her flesh. Her crime was overfilling a tea- cup.

...Most Evangelical leaders to this day have been openly racist.
The ‘great’ evangelists—Dwight L. Moody, Billy Sunday, and Billy Graham—all had segregated rallies.
Christian colleges and seminaries—Dallas Theological Seminary, Bob Jones University, etc.— remained white-only as long as they could.
Evangelical churches were segregated. In 1960, Martin Luther King Jr. observed that “eleven o’clock on Sunday morning is one of the most segregated hours, if not the most segregated hours, in Christian America.”

Regarding the annoying obsessions of the poster called “Olaadegbu”. Thought I was the only one who noticed.

First, I can not stand this name. Per my discerning Spirit, something about this name and the owner appears very manipulated like a puppet for a shadowy figure.

2nd, I have always thought s/he is a non-African (“American” non-dark skin) posing as an African. As his or her posts suggests, she has an agenda to indoctrinate with a very perverse form of White American “Christianity”.

S/he probably believes god/Jesus is white republican, bible is about white people and USA is the central theme of bible. And heavens is decorated with American flag and paved streets of American dollars. Foolishness.

Either that, or

3rd, s/he is a product of severe case of brainwashed whitewashed African with severe case of lowest form of self esteem.

All and all, s/he is an imposter; the ones the scriptures called workers of evil posing as “light”. I have attempted to counter his posts but quickly realise s/he is most likely a programmed robot.
