Imprisonment wont stop his return

SEMINAL American CCM producer Jonathan David Brown, whose trial and imprisonment after involvement with a racist cult shocked the Christian music industry, has re-emerged. Under the moniker of The Nazarite he has released a solo album 'Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God', the title taken from a sermon by revivalist Jonathan Edwards.

The Nazarite "Sinners ..." recording of JDB is one of the most beautiful and doctrinally sound recordings that I have ever heard and does not contain any racist or unsound doctrines within it. If I only listened to recordings that were perfect or from perfect people then I wouldn't listen to any recordings at all. Philippians 1:15-18 concludes, "What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice."

uhgg. I find this so disturbing. As a Latino and a big fan of the bands and artists that Jonathan has Produced. It makes me feel ill to think that people out there really only beleive that "White" people can truly be saved. I grew up in Utah and Mormons don't even beleive that and they are a cult. I don't want to make judgements of Jonathan. I pray that Bob Hartman, Greg X Volz, Twila Paris, and others he worked with don't espouse the same heartless beliefs regarding African - Americans, Latinos, etc. :-(

I don't trust the media, and feel that it would be only fair to get the info on what Brown believes directly from him instead of other sources. And yes, about the race issue. It's a topic that deserves to be discussed rationally. We're all adults; We can handle it.

Jonathan David Brown continues in his so-called "Christian Identity" beliefs. These are contrary to Scripture, decency, and Jesus Christ. He holds the belief, stated publicly, that not all the races are truly "descended from Adam." These people -- Africans and others -- are often called "beasts" by the "Christian Identity" movement. I do *not* think Brown belongs in any Christian listings, if by Christian we mean truly biblical and representative of the teachings and life of Jesus Christ.

Jonathan,

You still have not answered my question: Do you believe that not all races are descended from Adam?

Jonathan,

Do you believe that not all races are descended from Adam?

Sincerely,

Dear John,

The idea that what I believe is "contrary to Scripture" is not explained in your post. You have no idea what I believe, only what others have said. I am merely a servant of Yahweh - nothing more. And in fact, the modern churches have given only lip service to Yahweh's Laws ... which is why the Nation is in the shape it is. They have filled their plates with unclean food and brought about his fury. Isaiah 65:1-6; Matthew 5:19. Even so, we must be patient with all who claim to belong to Him ... that we might remain on the Path of Righteousness.
