As a white American I find your post exceedingly offensive.

There are many ways to preach, xdisciplex. There isnt just *one* style that God approves of.

I have heard many black preachers preach and its just as calm and relaxed as anyone else. I've heard many white preachers who get all worked up and actually out-do Jakes in the ways you mention.

God has chosen to create His people, both white and black, with great variety and many different likes, dislikes, and personality traits. So...its no wonder that God gives different ministers of his different ways to deliver a message.

Sadly,

I would disagree that what produces these rantings is "that God gives different ministers of his different ways to deliver a message." I doubt that when Peter or Paul preacehd they were running around a stage screaming. The power of the truth of the gospel does not need theatrics.

Trustiti,



Hmmm. So, you can discern that TD Jakes isnt very "intelligent"?

Are you sure you want to go there?

OK, how about deceived?

And everyone...including TD Jakes...knows that.

None of that rises to the level of being nominated to be a major party's nominee for President of the United States. This is a huge historical event, and blacks have every right to be extremely proud of it.

Mike

The historical significance is that Obama is very likely being nominated because he is black, not in spite of it. Even many black commentators are willing to admit that his race contributed to him winning. Can you imagine a white candidate his age, with his lack of experience and his liberal voting record beating the Clintons. I can't and neither can many others.

If Obama loses the general election and people say that America is still not ready for a black president they will be terrribly wrong. The historical significance will be that many Americans are still playing the race card in a vain attemt to get people to hand things over to people because of skin color.

Hi Mike,
I know that there are also white preachers which raise their voices but I have never seen a white preacher do it in such a manner. I have also never seen white preachers which sweat like crazy and constantly havve to wipe their foreheads. I'm not saying that all black preachers are this way but many do this stuff and to me it simply seems like it's acted. Also they way they talk and pronounce the words. It seems like a certain "style" which you simply copy. I wonder who came up with this in the first place. If you can tell me a white preacher who does the same then do it. I'm curious. But even if white preachers also do it then I still wouldn't like it but maybe that's just me.

I get what you are saying but you cant fake sweat, I mean its not like he has a water bottle and spraying himself before for the service.. everyone has different styles of preaching.. Some passive and I have heard some calm.. Color has nothing to do with it... We are one body for Christ.. Look at Paul White.. she is white and has that hype up style of preaching and at the same time we can look at Kenneth Copeland who also has the hype up style of preachings... color has nothing to do with the style of preaching.. Thats just my humble opinion though...

1 Corinthians 2
Christ Crucified
1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony[a] of God. 2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

Seems everybody is becoming as proud of America as Michelle, and as proud of Barack as T.D Jakes and Oprah. My, it's almost like were bursting at the seams with pride. Black pride, gay pride, white pride, National pride. If you are lacking in pride today we suggest you take pride sensitivity training and become part of this pride movement that is sweeping our nation! If you are not full of pride and proud as a peacock over what is taking place in America today, the BB has a category for prayer requests so that others can pray for you and your lack of pride, because if you are not proud there is definitely a cure for that. Yes Sirree, pride is definitely the in thing today! All over the world the pride of a man of color being nominated as the Democratic Presidential Nominee has made other countries proud of us. So, we have not only raised the level of pride in our own country, we have managed to elevate the pride meter all over the world, and pride is a good thing. Vote Obama and get your pride today! You'll be proud you did! :thumbs:

Pride-Better than Cornbread and Buttermilk

:laugh: :thumbs: :applause:

This is not good then.. that is bad.. I mean.. If I vote for someone who is pro abortions and pro gay marriages... I am basically supporting that.. This is so confusing.. :BangHead:

Hint -- you have just described the democrat platform for the past 20+ years.

in Christ,

Bob
