Harry Jackson Article on Rev. Wright Draws Varied Responses

Many readers took a moment to express their feelings on Harry Jackson’s article about Rev, Wright yesterday.

Vernice wants everyone to move on, but is this condoning Rev, Wright? She wrote:


It appears to me that you have allowed your magazine to become a network of people bashing (Rev. Wright) one another. The continual commentary regarding Rev. Wright has reached a fever pitch and it really doesn’t make sense. It’s time to move on to other things people are losing jobs, gas prices sky rocketing, families are starving. I have been well informed regarding the Christian community through your magazine. Pray for Rev. Wright if you disagree with his viewpoint, but move on.



Paul from Georgia agrees with Harry Jackson and wrote:

I tend to agree with the commentary by Harry Jackson Jr. regarding Dr. Jeremiah Wright, that he (Dr. Wright) is preaching "another gospel". The gospel that is preached in the Bible does NOT tell us that if God is not for "the black man" then we need to "kill him and get another".

Dr. Wright seems to me to be someone who puts the "black church" above any other, and that is not what Jesus preached. Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me." Anyone who preaches anything other than Jesus is the only way to heaven (which this "black theology" seems to be doing) is preaching "another gospel", which is a false teaching and should be avoided.


Wanda from Sarasota writes:


Is Jeremiah Wright (sorry, I do not choose to call him Rev.) getting paid for all of his appearance on these TV shows? If so, that is a lot of money to help him furnish the five million dollar house his church is building for him....You can certainly tell he loves the limelight....it appears he has a lot of hate in him for some reason or the other... so we should pray for him, he really needs it,,,, alot of devil in him I would say.


Editor: Rev. Wright does deserve our prayers for being so terribly myopic in his views that he caused an open wound for mamy African churches throughout the country.
