What kind of preacher was he? Is there any evidence of him leading anyone to Jesus Christ? Or of him ever delivering the basic plan of salvation?

Most racist post ever.

Sorry guy, it's impossible for me to be racial...

I've always wondered why the fbi has sealed his files for like, 200 years or something crazy like that.  We already know he liked hookers and drinking..  so I would say no, he did lead anyone to jesus.  My guess is he was like an all Sharpton v 1.0

Communist POS

King became pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, when he was twenty-five years old, in 1954.^{[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr.#cite_note-14][14][/url]} King then began doctoral studies in systematic theology at Boston University and received his Ph.D. degree on June 5, 1955, with a dissertation on "A Comparison of the Conceptions of God in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and Henry Nelson Wieman". An academic inquiry concluded in October 1991 that portions of his dissertation had been plagiarized
and he had acted improperly, but that his dissertation still "makes an
intelligent contribution to scholarship"; the committee recommended that
his degree not be revoked.^{[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr.#cite_note-15][15][/url]
Tough huh?}

The man had his faults, but he was an actual Southern Baptist preacher. I have no doubt he led many to Christ.

Stole speeches from others, sure. Not good.

But at his core I don't believe he was a racist.

Hell, just look how often his stuff is quoted even here on arfcom.

His followers and hangers on had another agenda going though.

Bottom line is that Jackson, Young, et al. , were and are no MLK.

He had a dream, they have revenge in their hearts. And we've all seen how that's gone.

Yup. I'm no scholar but I think MLK was the real deal when it came to equality.

He was also republican.


What a surprise.

why is that?

I've heard rumors of adultery. Is this true?

If you or I wrote a dissertation and plaigairized to do it, do you think that they would revoke our degree?  I"m betting YES

i'm sure, his streets have led many to the freeway also

I agree that I don't think he was a racist. I also agree with the bolded line.

IIRC, the black Baptist preachers of the mid twentieth century and before used a basic lexicon of established sermons, that they all used periodically.  The sermons were shared, published, studied and discussed at conferences.  If you grew up in those churches (his father was a minister too, wasn't he?) you know those sermons, you knew those themes.  You studied them in seminary.  You preached them from the pulpit.  You weren't stealing speeches, you were speaking from a common shared pool of thems and topics, that the audience understood.


I think today we would call something like that a meme.

Haven't spent much time in a 1950s Southern Baptist Church, have you? Being who he was and when, he was most likely loud, passionate, emotional, dramatic, thunderous, whispering, sweated a lot, could coax the last dollar out of a miser, preach a funeral like the deceased was a saint, and could pray the paint off the wall. Counting the normal sinners wanting to change their ways and the rededications probably had thousands heading down the aisle. And believe me, ANY Southern baptist preacher will be very adept in delivering the basic plan of salvation. He will be able to describe hell forty different ways and determine by look that you aren't saved and on the way to eternal damnation. Can also sing every verse of "Just As I Am" and "Amazing Grace" better than a Sturm Abteilung partei member could "Horst Wessel" . And love to eat fried chicken.
