Many people today are *blindly* accepting the notion that to be a "Black Christian" is an oxymoron. I say "blindly" because I'd argue that a careful consideration of the interplay between African ethnicity/identity/heritage and Christianity affords us rational grounds to affirm Christianity without undermining our "blackness". In a recent video presents a set of concerns related to church, black history, and suffering for which some, like his interviewee Dr. Anthony Pinn, would suggest that given "Christianity's" track record with black people we shouldn't be Christians and that it might very...

Is Adam Coleman becoming a prosperity preacher?!!!! Nah, fam… I will say this though. The biblical worldview has much more to offer than high-minded theological truths and philosophy. One of the ways we can help people to see the value of the biblical worldview is highlighting how it can be applied to everyday life. The Bible has plenty to say about how to manage finances in a healthy way. Unfortunately, what the Bible really says about money has often been overshadowed by shady individuals who mishandle and/or misrepresent the scriptures so they can exploit people. One of the things we talk...

Many people today are *blindly* accepting the notion that to be a "Black Christian" is an oxymoron. I say "blindly" because I'd argue that a careful consideration of the interplay between African ethnicity/identity/heritage and Christianity affords us rational grounds to affirm Christianity without undermining our "blackness". In a recent video  @GarrisonHayes  presents a set of concerns related to church, black history, and suffering for which some, like his interviewee Dr. Anthony Pinn, would suggest that given "Christianity's" track record with black people we shouldn't be Christians and that it might very well be the case that if God exists he likely hates black people. As I say all the time, most people are poor historians and even worse philosophers. In this video I give a very brief overview of reasons why someone can be black and have rational grounds to be a Christian. For the sake of not making a 10 hour response I've held back on some of the directions one could go in answering these questions but provided links throughout the video to resources for viewers who want to go further.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In the original version of this response video I mistakenly referred to Garrison as an atheist but should have been more careful to say that he has put forth a form of argument that atheists present (ie problem of evil). The argument from evil and suffering against Christianity was then defended during this interview by well-known black atheist/secular humanist, Dr. Anthony Pinn. So with respect to Pinn, it is the case that, as I said in my intro, “atheist says black Christians need to leave Christianity alone.” I originally intended to speak more directly to Pinn’s argument but cut the video short for the sake of being concise. In doing so I framed my commentary as if Garrison were forwarding Pinn’s argument. While the response I would give to the question Garrison posed at the beginning of his video would remain the same I do apologize for mislabeling him and implying anything inaccurate about him. #thinkonthesethings and hit that play button! #urbanapologetics #Christianity #Apologetics #race
