New Obama Pastor Otis Moss Compares Wright To Jesus
New Obama Pastor Otis Moss III Compares Wright To Jesus
Uh-oh, here we go again: Meet Obama's new pastor Otis Moss compares Wright to Jesus, backs up predecessor on AIDS, drugs
The man slated to become chief pastor at the Trinity United Church of Christ has called blacks "lepers" with a "skin disease," claimed U.S. entertainment corporations operate with "disdain" for black people, and in a fiery sermon claimed retired pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright was "lynched" by the media and compared the embattled pastor to Jesus.
Otis Moss III, lauded this week by Obama as a "wonderful young pastor," also recently refused to deny claims by Wright that the U.S. government was involved in distributing illegal drugs to minorities or spreading the AIDS virus to blacks.
The 37-year-old Moss, nicknamed the "hip-hop pastor" by congregants, will become the head of Trinity Christ in June, taking over for Wright, whose controversial remarks landed Obama in hot water.
Following a series of national media interviews given by Wright last week, Obama strongly denounced some of Wright's statements as "divisive and destructive."
Wright had defended his views that the U.S. was to blame for the 9-11 attacks and referred to Nation of Islam head Louis Farrakhan as "one of the most important voices in the 20th and 21st century." Wright also quoted controversial Farrakhan remarks, such as his calling "Zionism" a "gutter religion."
While slamming Wright this week, Obama told the New York Times he will continue his membership in Trinity. He referred to Moss as "wonderful."
"Well, you know, the new pastor – the young pastor, Rev. Otis Moss, is a wonderful young pastor. And as I said, I still very much value the Trinity community."
Like Wright, Moss has a trail of fiery sermons posted on YouTube.
In one, an animated Moss compares blacks to biblical "lepers" who have a "skin disease." You will also see Reverend Wright gives a big pat on the back towards the end of the video. Also at the very end he says...."Barack you've got nothin to lose!" ( April 20th)
"You see they still are lepers. They still have a skin disease. They had a skin disease. They had a skin disease. Based on their skin condition, they were considered to be second-class citizens. They had a skin issue. They had a skin disease.
"And the lepers lived in a leper project. The lepers had bad health care. The lepers were disrespected. They had funny names for lepers. The lepers were considered inferior. They had an inferior school system. The lepers lived in a ghetto leper colony. The lepers were segregated from everybody else," he continued.
Moss went on to imply those who segregated blacks are the "enemy."
"But they (blacks) refused to give up. They decided to leave the city. They said that's not going to stop me from my destiny. Once they left the particular area, they then find out God has cooked things up. The camp of the enemy...nobody is there. So they go into the enemy's camp. They find food. They find shelter. They find gold. They find silver. They even find some drink. In the enemy's camp. They find gin and juice. In the enemy's camp."
In his Easter sermon last month, Moss said Wright was "lynched" by the international media.
"No one should start a ministry with lynching, no one should end their ministry with lynching,” Moss said.
"The lynching was national news. The RNN, the Roman News Network, was reporting it and NPR, National Publican Radio had it on the radio. The Jerusalem Post and the Palestine Times all wanted exclusives, they searched out the young ministers, showed up unannounced at their houses, tried to talk with their families, called up their friends, wanted to get a quote on how do you feel about the lynching?” he stated.
He went on to compare Wright to Jesus:
"The people gathered around Jesus, they knew better. But they kept repeating sound bytes from his ministry. They kept saying, you know, things like the last shall be first and didn't say the first shall be last."
"They just kept quoting things. Did not talk about his parables. Did not talk about his work. Just there he is on the cross being lynched. No rabbis came to the aid of Jesus during his lynching."
The church newsletter was widely featured in the media after it was reported the bulletin reprinted an opinion piece by a top Hamas official that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right of Israel to exist and compared the terror group's official charter – which calls for the murder of Jews – to America's Declaration of Independence.
The Hamas piece was published on Wright's "Pastor's Page," which later printed an open letter by a pro-Palestinian activist that labeled Israel an "apartheid" regime and claimed the Jewish state worked on an "ethnic bomb" that kills "blacks and Arabs."
Wild Thing's comment........
Interesting how Obama has said he is done with Wright but in this article Obama is quoted as also saying.....
While slamming Wright this week, Obama told the New York Times he will continue his membership in Trinity. He referred to Moss as "wonderful."
"Well, you know, the new pastor – the young pastor, Rev. Otis Moss, is a wonderful young pastor. And as I said, I still very much value the Trinity community."
The new pastor is just a mini me of Wright, Obama just keeps proving he either does not care or does not get it. Hate speech no mater who it is done by is wrong, destructive and stupid.

Jermy is NOT Jesus and to say such things is blasphemy! Jermy has healed no sick or infirmed peoples, made no miracles, he is a heartless son of biscuit eater and a false prophet. I have no idea what hurt his heart so badly, that he would turn to Satan. He almost appears he sold his soul to get where he is today. No one sure be going to this church. But he is a good hypnotist who would lead his own people off the cliff of death and then stand there at the top of the cliff, laughing as they all died.

Otis Moss, Jerimiah Wright, Barak Hussein Obama, just another in a long list of Black Muslims

I wonder how many Black churches there are like Obama's. I know they get wound up in church, but are most of the local Black clergy preaching hate or love of Christ? I have heard of both from Black people I know. I just don't know what the ratio is. I met three elderly Black preachers recently and they were of the "peace for all" variety, really decent men. But I have alo heard a few Blacks quote some really radical things from their churches.
I do know that all Black muslims are very radical. No doubt there. They may well be some of our next active terrorists.

Wild Thing,
As I read and hear about these "preachers", what occurs to me is how similar they are to the Pharisees of Jesus' time. They are receiving their reward here on God's Earth. My focus is on raising two upright, God fearing young men and on Heaven. God will provide my rewards when I return home to Him.
Sincerely, Robin

Lynn, yes I agree, I was shocked, there are some things that so cross the line there is no going back and to compare Wright to Jesus is one of them.

Jack thats true and thank you so much for the link.

Tom, I read someplace that some (just a few) of the black church's complained to Wright's church and asked him to be quiet. Probably they are concerned with getting Obama elected more then that they don't like what Wrighit says, I am not sure.

Robin, I agree with what you said and they do remind me of the same thing. Also thank yo utoo for sharing about that ouro rewards are in Heaven and I agree with you too.

Blacks can complain about racism and wallow in victimhood all that they want, but they, as a group, are the biggest racists in the country today. Something like the pot calling the kettle black. Pun intended.

Les yes and I sure have been learning a lot. And I am not feeling good about it either, it is ugly to see this kind of anger and hate.
