When you listen to most black pastors in the Southern Baptist Convention, the only difference between them and their white counterparts is skin color. Case in point--an article by Dwight McKissic, pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas and one of the more prominent black Southern Baptist pastors. In an article for the Black Christian News Network, McKissic claims that the Antichrist--will be a gay man.
John and Paul indicate that the spirit of the Anti-Christ would be unleashed upon the world in the last days (I John 2:18; I Timothy 4:1). Daniel 11:37 tells two interesting, and relevant to this subject matter, characteristics regarding the Anti-Christ:
1. “He shall regard neither the God of his fathers.” In order to embrace same-sex relationships and homosexuality, one has to disregard the God of our fathers. Know that anybody who preaches that homosexuality is acceptable to God is not preaching the God of the Bible. They are disrespecting the God of the Bible and representing the anti-Christ. The notion that gay rights and civil rights are compatible is from the pit of hell. Rev. Bernice King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said, deep down in her sanctified soul, she knows that her dad did not die for same-sex marriage rights. Martin Luther King did not sacrifice his life for two football players to get married. The thought of such is a desecration to his legacy.
2. Daniel also reveals that the Anti-Christ would not desire women. A male who does not desire a woman is considered suspect where I came from. I believe that Daniel was telling us that the Anti-Christ would have no desire for women, which may be a subtle way of suggesting that the Anti-Christ would be a homosexual, or certainly unmarried.
McKissic was inspired to write this after Michael Sam came out as gay. To his mind, Sam could potentially become "the face of the ‘gay rights’ movement that takes us down the road to Sodom and Gomorrah at a record setting pace." To his mind, the gay rights movement will also pave the way for the Antichrist.
I've heard a lot of smears against gays, but this is breathtaking even by fundie standards.
