Bishop E.W. Jackson, President of Ministers Taking A Stand, is accusing the President of turning the black church into a cult of personality serving him rather than God. This comes on the heels of the President's remarks at an Easter Prayer Breakfast held in the White House. Mr. Obama said he is "concerned" about Christians speaking "unlovingly." This was an apparent reference to Christian support for the Indiana law protecting business owners from having to serve same-sex ceremonies.E.W. Jackson is a Marine Corps Veteran, graduate of Harvard Law School, retired Attorney, President of STAND [Staying True to America's National Destiny - parent body of MINISTERS TAKING A STAND], Bishop over THE CALLED CHURCH and Senior Fellow for Family Research Council
Says Bishop Jackson, "Black Christians are Bible believing people. That faith brought us through slavery, segregation and the civil rights struggle. The black church has had unswerving faith in God and the truth of the Bible. This President has done more to undermine that than any figure in the history of the black community."
In the background of the President's remarks at the Easter Prayer Breakfast, ministers could be heard saying Amen as he once again slammed Christianity. "When supposed ministers of the gospel say 'Amen' to a politician's criticisms of Christianity and support for same sex marriage," says the Bishop, "it suggests their allegiance is to him rather than to Jesus. Mr. Obama is trying to fundamentally transform Christianity in the same way he promised to fundamentally transform America."
Bishop Jackson also pointed out, "The President never acknowledged the murder of 150 Christian students in Kenya by Islamic terrorists, nor has he ever uttered a word of criticism of Islam. Even in his famous Cairo speech in Egypt, he declared that America is not a Christian nation. It is odd behavior for a Christian."
Jackson says, "Pastors should be declaring the truth and holding politicians accountable, not catering to them, even if it's the first black President. Those who 'amen' anything the President says are like the false prophets condemned in the Bible for telling the King what he wanted to hear instead of telling him what 'thus saith the Lord.'"
How Obama Has Kept His ‘Cult of Personality’
If you listen to what the president says in public appearances, it’s as if he hasn’t been the incumbent for nearly four years. He repeats promises that have already been broken, and speaks of his ideas for the country as if they are new, and haven’t already resulted in failure. - See more at: http://bernardgoldberg.com/how-obama-has-kept-his-cult-of-personality/#sthash.02wi12O0.dpuf
But when you strip away his cult of personality, you’re forced to recognize the reality that our nation is in deep decline, and may very well be broken beyond repair if drastic changes aren’t made very soon. - See more at: http://bernardgoldberg.com/how-obama-has-kept-his-cult-of-personality/#sthash.02wi12O0.dpuf

Rev. E.W. Jackson's Twitter page
From Sept, 2011: Parks says, [Democrats] “are ashamed of their past and do not want Blacks to look under the hood of their history.” "Republicans laid the foundation for civil rights by passing legislation and instituting programs that Democrats’ were adamantly opposed to, such as:
And how'd that work out?1. The Thirteenth Amendment in 1865 to abolish slavery.
2. The Civil Rights Act of 1866 to give Negroes citizenship and protect freed men from Black Codes and other repressive legislation.
3. The First Reconstruction Act of 1867 to provide more efficient Government of the Rebel- or Democrat-controlled states.
4. The Fourteenth Amendment in 1868 to make all persons born in the United States citizens. Part of this Amendment specifically states “No State shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; or deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
5. The Fifteenth Amendment of 1870 to give the right to vote to every citizen.
6. The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 to stop Klan terrorists to terrorized black voters, Republicans, white teachers who taught blacks, and Abolitionists.
7. The Civil Rights Act of 1875 to protect all citizens in their civil and legal rights and to prohibit racial discrimination in places of public accommodation.
8. Freedmen’s Bureau was a social program established by Republicans to feed, protect, and educate the former slaves.
9. The 1957 Civil Rights Act and the 1960 Civil Rights Act were signed into law by President Eisenhower who also established the U.S. Civil Rights Commission in 1958, a commission that was rejected by Truman during his administration.
10. The 1964 Civil Rights Act which key Republicans pushed law through while key Southern Democrats like Al Gore Sr. debated against its passage. More Republicans (in percentages) voted for this law than Democrats.”
