What IS Christianity?

For the sake of clarity, given this article's format, I think it will be easier to suggest what it IS NOT.

Most recently, Georgia Baptist minister and Donald Trump loyalist Doug Collins,  claimed Warnock’s stance as a “pro-choice pastor...

Christianity is NOT a stance on any specific political/social issues.  

“meaning of Easter is more transcendent than the resurrection of Jesus Christ."

There is nothing more transcendent than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Any suggestion of such would trivialize the single most important event in human history. 

"Whether you are Christian or not, through a commitment to helping others we are able to save ourselves”.

The idea that we are able to "save ourselves" is completely anti-christian even if it is meant as a matter of practicality.

"As the dominant cultural power in America,” Jones writes, the white Christian church has “been responsible for constructing and sustaining a project to protect White supremacy and resist Black equality. This project has framed the entire American story.  

Black Church and the religion practiced within its embrace acted as the engine driving social transformation in America, from the antebellum abolitionist movement through the various phases of the fight against Jim Crow, and now, in our current century, to Black Lives Matter,” 

The bible says:

26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Turning the Church into a matter of demographics (including black and/or white) is an act of divisiveness and one that most likely comes with an agenda behind it.

American Christianity’s theological core has been thoroughly structured by an interest in protecting white supremacy…

Turning the Church into a matter of "geographics" is an act of divisiveness and one that most likely comes with an agenda.

“The black church was born fighting for freedom, and freedom is indeed its only reason for being.”

If something other than Christ is a church's "only reason for being" then it is not a church. It is a social movement.

God stands most closely with the oppressed, and that God actively works to free the oppressed.

God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble. But God does not work to free the "oppressed" as perceived under human standards. If that were the case, Christ would have started his own revolution since his people were oppressed by the romans. God is interested in freeing people (for whom he gave himself up for) from their slavery to sin (which He became and dealt away with at the cross) for "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God".

This is the core of the difference between Warnock’s faith and that of the white evangelicals who criticize and question the religious validity of the Black theology he espouses. They embrace a religious ideology that is fundamentally selfish, one which actively works against political change...

Christianity is not theology. Christianity is not ideology. And Christianity definitely does NOT seek POLITICAL CHANGE. Only those concerned with power are into politics. Jesus drew a very clear line between the politicians of his time on earth (pharisees) and himself. He was NOT a politician. If He had any desire for power He would have accepted Satan's third attempt. As it turned out, glory be to God, that too was rejected. 

And we too must reject the notion that Jesus was a democrat because He wasn't republican either. Those labels are things of this world. 

AND WE ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD!

STOP HIJACKING THE NAME IN ORDER TO ADVANCE YOUR SECULARIST IDEALS!

COME LORD JESUS!
