New Alabama Governor: Only Christians Are My Brothers And Sisters Eric Lach | January 18, 2011, 11:46AM 7372Share 155tweetsTOP1Kretweet 37diggsdigg Gov. Robert Bentley (R-AL) Read More Alabama, Martin Luther King, Jr., Robert Bentley Share Twitter Fark Reddit Send to a Friend Send to a friend! To email: Your Name: Your email: Speaking on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the very church where Dr. King once pastored, new Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley gave a speech in which he said that those who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior are not his "brothers." Bentley spoke at the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church in Montgomery just minutes after taking the oath of office on Monday. The new governor, who has been a deacon at First Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa, first said that though he ran as a Republican, once he took office he "became the governor of all the people." "I am color blind," Bentley said, according to The Birmingham News. But Bentley then said that only those who are Christians and "saved" like he is are his brothers and sisters. "There may be some people here today who do not have living within them the Holy Spirit," Bentley said. ''But if you have been adopted in God's family like I have, and like you have if you're a Christian and if you're saved, and the Holy Spirit lives within you just like the Holy Spirit lives within me, then you know what that makes? It makes you and me brothers. And it makes you and me brother and sister." Bentley stopped just short of calling for non-Christians to accept Jesus Christ. ''Now I will have to say that, if we don't have the same daddy, we're not brothers and sisters," he said. "So anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I'm telling you, you're not my brother and you're not my sister, and I want to be your brother." Asked by The Birmingham News afterwords if his words where meant to insult other faiths, Bentley said, ''We're not trying to insult anybody." ''He is the governor of all the people, Christians, non-Christians alike," Rebekah Caldwell Mason, Bentley's communications director, told the News. [TPM SLIDESHOW: America Celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr. Day] Dr. King was pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church from 1954 to 1960. Early Civil Rights activity, including the Montgomery Bus Boycott, was directed by King from his office in the church. The church was designated a national historic landmark in 1974, and, in 1978, its name was changed to Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church. TPM's initial attempt to contact Bentley was unsuccessful.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." - Ben Franklin
Thanks for the catch.
bible.cc/john/1-12.htm / bible.cc/romans/8-29.htm He's right of course. Hope he doesn't die an untimely death for saying it....it shoots down one of their favorite myths: that we are all the children of God whether we reject Him in His coming in the flesh or not, and shoots down their one world religion [and it's said that they can't have their new world order without their one world religion]. ======= edit forgot one: bible.cc/galatians/3-26.htm
"...as long as there..remain active enemies of the Christian church, we may hope to become Master of the World...the future Jewish King will never reign in the world before Christianity is overthrown - B'nai B'rith speech http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/luther.htm / http://bible.cc/psalms/83-4.htm
Wait until his state needs some help from the federal government; it won't be an easy task getting it. The kikes in DC will remember this MLK speech.
Thanks for the ping. Time was, I'd have said, and I did say, the same things. That's embarrassing to admit but it's true. I cringe at some of the things I've said that were just like this, or worse. I'm conflicted about this. On one hand, I do blame them for their stupidity. If I can fight my way out of that programming, then so can they. I'm not a superman. On the other hand, I don't blame them because I know how strong that religious programming is. The ones I blame with no reservation are those that know it's all a scam, yet they actively promote it for their own gain. They are the ones that I want to see swinging at the end of a 1) the rope, or 2) the guts of politicians. Whichever is handy at the time. What does concern me is that this politician would be right at home in a xtian theocracy. They bitch about muslim theocracies but they think xtians would somehow get it right. Xtians do not belong in government, any more than muslims do. .

It's time God's children grew up and became God's adults. Religion would take a remarkable turn for the better.
