Obama aide: Santorum faith comments 'well over the line'
Robert Gibbs
President Obama's former spokesman denounced Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum today for questioning the president's "different theology."
"I think it is time in our politics in which we get rid of this mindset that if we disagree, we have to disqualify each other," said former White House spokesman Robert Gibbs on ABC's This Week.

Then how in the name of all that is holy can those blacks be Christians? Christians accept the Deity Of Jesus and thus the Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity is not "white theology". It is Biblical theology.
That's right. The denial of the Trinity, thus the denial of the deity of Christ, is NOT a black and white issue. The Trinity and, therefore, the deity of Christ are concrete Biblical concepts foundational to salvation. The Mormons accept Jesus as the son of God, but not God the Son; they deny His deity and, therefore, deny Him as their Savior, regardless of what their rhetoric is. There are people of all colors, classes, ethnicities, levels of education, etc., etc., that deny the deity of Christ, some on this very forum. I'm still a little concerned about Dan.

What? Did you "think about" what you wrote? How dare you lump all people in one category because of the shade of their skin tone! Unbelievable! Who are you even talking about?

Dan, are you seriously denying the deity of Christ...and on this forum? Surely you're not serious!

Define African-American. I know an American Christian woman, who is a white woman originally from South Africa. Is she African-American? I would suggest moreso than dark-skinned Americans disconnected from Africa by several generations. That is, if we accept the foolishness of hyphenated Americanism in the first place.

I don't see the connection between the last two thoughts. How does the crime of African chattel slavery, abetted by people of all colors (even today), invalidate the Trinity?
The Trinity isn't “white” theology, it's Biblical theology.
