Thanks everyone for watching me on Glenn Beck tonight talking about Black Liberation Theology.

Thanks for all the support and encouragement. Beck did an excellent job explaining that salvation is by grace alone.

You can watch the full show on Fox News

Special thanks to Glenn Beck for having me on again.

Just to be clear, he's a Mormon right? So he means something pretty different by "salvation by grace alone" than you or I would, correct?

My thoughts exactly Justin.

Anthony, help us understand what you mean...

Where's the feed? I want to see it.

I'm not much of a fan of Glenn Beck, so I'd be interested to see the video as well.

In my conversations with Mormons, I never have figured out what "grace" means for them. I think it was something you have to work for, though.

Anthony, looking forward to seeing the video. Great opportunity to share the true faith with Beck.

Mr. Bradley,
I can not believe you were on Glenn Beck's show and actually encouraging the most vilest, perverted public display of racism I've seen since Gov. Wallace's rants over integration in Georgia. This will follow you for the rest of your miserable life. I hope you will eventually come to terms with yourself and the shame you and your family will have to live with.

I did see the show, and I have some questions for you Mr. Bradley. I'll ask here and again in e-mail with further requests.

Beck asserted that Marxism influenced Black Liberation Theology. I know that's true about Latin American Liberation Theology, but is that true about Black Liberation Theology?

Dr. Bradley,

I saw your book for sale on Mondergism.com a few months ago and ordered it immediately. I am in the process of reading it now and feel like someone has taken this bizzare reality that I find myself in and really made some sense of it. Thank you. I just happened to see that you were on Glen Beck yesterday but was dissappointed that they did not show more of you in the 17 minute clip that you linked to. I hope there was more of you.

I also have been reading your blog about racism in the PCA. I am sure I cannot begin to appreciate nor would I ever pretend to understand what your race has endured at the hands of sinners in this country.
My husband attended a PCA church in Montgomery, AL. He has similar stories to tell about the segregationist culture of that church.

Since marriage I have been in the reformed church as well. Though my issues with reformed churches are not the same as yours, (I have not found all reformed churches this way. I think we are at 50%), I have witnessed blatant sin in the form of church sessions spiritually bankrupt, lying and slandering to maintain power, and no church discipline practiced. Is it any wonder that you still witness and sometimes become the object of continuing sin (racism) in the organized church?

I would encourage you to continue your good work. Speak the truth where ever you are given the opportunity with godly courage. Sin is sin and racism is a particularly egregious sin, but at the end of the day "he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." 1 John 4:4-6. May God have all the glory!

Hey Anthony, thanks for your work. I hope this means a jump in sales for your book! I agree with what others have said, that I wish you had gotten more time to talk, but at least your book got some nice face-time.

Thanks for the heads up on this episode, Doctor. I'm glad I DVR'd it. While I was hoping Beck would do an interview segment or two with you, I thought it was nonetheless a very interesting show. The episode persuaded me that I need to buy a copy of your new book.

Black liberation theology preceded marxism. Its what we used to survive slavery and tho thrive after it was over. Blacks didnt start to learn about socialism until the 50's and 60's. And just so I am clear, as a black person who is a chrisitan, if it took marxist beliefs to make us more equal in this country, then great. And if it takes some more marxist beliefs until we are 100% equal, thats fine too.

AWESOME!!! Congrats man...where's the rest of the interview? the part where you talk...

Hi Renee,

Just remember that Marxism in America has cut both ways: it was people enamored with Marx who wanted to (and in many cases succeeded in) forcibly sterilizing blacks and all that fun stuff.

WHat I am saying is that whatever gets us the farthest. Sometimes its socialism, n=sometimes its a republic, sometimes its old-style chrisitanity and sometimes is the newer version. I am tired of us blacks or us women or us poor folks having to pick between the lesser of two evils; while the people who oppress us all go free and snicker behind our backs.

Dr. Bradley,
Thanks for helping Glenn Beck get the Christian Salvation message correct. With yur help the story folowed Bible passages and stuck to the truth. Please continue your work and help guide us through the misuse of words and phrases that change the meaning from salvation to someones political agenda. I can't wait to read your book.

Beck has a lot more grace fused into his Mormonism than I've seen from other Mormons.

Some video.

Was Cone presented fairly? Is that the stuff he teaches?
