Never mind that I’m not into the “bishop of bishops” structure of COGIC. (And you who know about Tertullian mocking Callistus, you know that “bishop of bishops” has some history to it.) I know that many who are Christians (not Roman Catholics) hold Charles E. Blake in high regard. Problem is, I don’t understand WHY. WHY would anyone hold in high regard a man who so blatantly latches himself onto a political party and carries water for politicians? WHY would anyone respect a man who openly pressures them to choose taking money from unbelievers by force of government as a supposedly good and charitable thing to redistribute wealth, while knowing the same group endorses shedding of innocent blood and special recognition towards people engaged in abominable activity is stunning. (I’ve never read where the church is to take any money from unbelievers for wealth redistribution.)
Check out the post over at I’m Speaking Truth titled Faith In Action?
Notice how in Blake’s speech, he speaks of lives in the womb as “the unborn” and speaks as if “the unborn” can somehow be thought of less than the concerns of people outside of the womb. As if millions of innocent babies slaughtered in the womb is somehow less of importance than taking money from a rich man by force for redistribution.
Charles E. Blake has fully latched himself to the hip of the Democratic Party and tried at the same time to justify it by lowering the importance of the issue of abortion. Instead of being separate from the politics of man and representing the church, Charles E. Blake has attached himself fully to the politics of man. I just think it’s disgusting!
Also, see the tap dancing Blake has done in the past in some old posts over at Gay Christian Movement Watch.
I feel Charles E. Blake is a man to avoid. That’s not to say I’m against all who are in COGIC, but Charles E. Blake is not a voice I can respect.

update 8/28/2008 6:56PM: I forgot to add, that Blake hanging out at an “interfaith” meeting, totally going against 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 is becoming the norm for him. See the related post above and comments there.

This trend among high-profile church leaders to insinuate themselves into politics shows just how much they think of themselves. They believe they’re called to reform the world; the same world that Jesus prophesied would travel the broad way to destruction. Who do they think they are?

I know who they are. They are part of the many that will say Lord, Lord…and Jesus will say I never knew you, you workers of iniquity.
