I’m 56 and a black man and I’ve never heard about this part of MLKS life, however I never put a man on a pedestal for that simple fact he is not the Messiah Christ Jesus is the only Savior. And you couldn’t make a majority of black folks believe that this man is not a man of God because a lot not all don’t know basic biblical doctrine and theology. Great information.
@@icouldbewrongbutithink5279, And the public schools (PS) won’t teach this. The PS could care less about this portion of MLK’s life. PS wouldn’t understand the ramifications anyway. I’m amazed again and again how many ravenous wolves are in the church.
It is hard to find it brother, but it's there. Check out the book, "Color, Communism and Common Sense," by black men Manning Johnson & Archibald B Roosevelt.
@@icouldbewrongbutithink5279 wait - you're saying it's the public school position to teach you doctrine as a child? They spoke about what mattered to them - this man did some good and it should be noted. Let the Christians fight over details regarding what he believed vs what he said, and did.
I’m a 57 year old American of African ancestry. When I was 14 years old I researched Michael King Jr. as I prepared a presentation for “black history “ a month essay contest. It shocked me then when I read that King considered Gandhi to be his most significant influence. As a “church” kid, I wondered how a Hindu leader could possibly have greater influence on a Christian “preacher” than Jesus Christ. That led me to look deeper into his life and his real beliefs.
In addition to MLK's embrace of Ghandi, it is mind boggling to understand why MLK would have him as an icon to follow, when it is significant to know that Ghandi had some extremely racist views about black people!
honest question - would it be any better if MLK just murdered some people, exiled others, but spoke the clear and right gospel? I'm struggling with hearing praise for some while only hearing evil of this man. I can't make sense of it.
I'm a 52 year old black woman. Even as a child, I really didn't understand all the praise about MLK . Or all the blackness idolatry. Especially what's going on now. I do know there's racism of course, but I also do not think everything is racist. I knew he didn't seem like a true Christian or preacher. Call it decernment of the Spirit. Thank you, Jesus, for exposing. A lot of falsehood is coming out.
Me as an Italian man that has a granddaughter that's Italian and black, when my granddaughter was born and I looked at her, it made me realize racism is evil, my granddaughter so beautiful, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. Some of us have darker skin that's all,the pigmentation in our skin. The Lord God judges the heart!
I'm so glad the truth about MLK is coming out. My Mom spent a majority of her life trying to educate the people in her sphere of influence on the truth of MLK, but it mostly seemed to fall on deaf ears.
Why are you glad? Do you want his work erased? I don't know anyone who went to MLK for salvation or studies on theology except those who want to spend their lives correcting him about things he's not known for. Help me see why the focus on this and not what's important and good about his work? I can't get over why this nishe focus when others who are known for having a clear understanding of the gospel and written great works murdered Innocent people and encouraged the murder of many more.
@@joshua6545 *niche From one Joshua to another, those who "have a clear understanding of the gospel and written great works" clearly don't if they murder the innocent. Why are you upset at those who point out unibiblical views and erroneous teachings? "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:16-17). No one here is discrediting MLK's contributions to American Civil Rights, we are merely suggesting that one should exercise caution when revering other human beings and their words, especially when in this case they were outrightly blasphemous. Placing the focus on a man's good works unfortunately often comes with the subsequent turning of the blind eye to his mistakes and sins, often because we look to other human beings for inspiration rather than Christ Himself (He who was and is without sin). I'd also caution you from slipping into accusations that have no moral grounding. If you take issue with others, do it respectfully and maintain humility.
Nothing is what it seems, if it's too good to be true. Then, might just be so, the fact is people lack the ability to further themselves, by digging deeper into the "Truth " Thanks for what your mom, tried to do.
@joshua6545. The issues being spoken of here about MLK are the fact he wanted a worldly salvation which is another gospel. Not the one christ amd the apostle preached. Which was christ and HIM crucified for our sins. Paul writes that if anyone preaches a different gospel than that of christ crucified let him be accursed. So there in lies the issue with MLK. He was storing up treasures on earth not in heaven.
I 100% agree with this video as well. Having done my own research on MLK years ago, reading his latest letters, I cannot in clear conscious consider MLK a brother in Christ, he was a hinderance of the gospel of Christ, perhaps even an enemy. Some other quotes: - I’ve been to the Mountaintop (1968): It's all right to talk about the new Jerusalem, but one day God's preacher must talk about the new New York, the new Atlanta, the new Philadelphia, the new Los Angeles, the new Memphis, Tennessee. [Applause] This is what we have to do. - Letter from Birmingham Jail (1963): the Apostle Paul left his little village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to practically every hamlet and city of the Greco-Roman world, I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular hometown. In the above letter, as reading it, I was most hopeful for him showing elements of orthodoxy, for that letter is rich in religious language. Yet, in the end I was saddened by how MLK used Christianity as a veneer for his social agenda. MLK had no saving gospel only an American one. And this is what he left the black community with. A hope for preachers to speak about the ills of society and not the ills of sin, to speak on the freedom from oppression, and not the freedom from being a slave of sin through the gospel of Christ. By God’s grace, may “Black people” (which I’m a part of) wake up and see that MLK did help advance a cause, but not one that has eternal value. We need the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to go forth, not MLK’s gospel of freedom. Soli Deo gloria
Amen Brother, Jesus Christ and Him crucified on the Cross and His resurrection from the dead is the only true gospel, that can save a soul from hell, no other so called gospels are true gospels, MLK'S gospel of freedom is of the Devil, look what has done to the black community and white community, it has turned many to hate anyone who doesn't agree with the social gospel of today.
As a kid growing up in the 70’s it’s hard not to see MLK as a hero. As I got older and turning to Jesus for salvation and learning the scriptures and listening to MLK I heard a difference in theology. MLK was always presented as a Christian when in fact he was not.
@@shirlenefarrar1404 The title "reverend" in front of anybody's name is not only misleading, but also is wrong. They are taking a descriptor reserved for God and appropriating it to themselves.
The author ignores James 2:6, Malachi 3:5, Isaiah 61:1, Isaiah 58:6-7 Acts 2:44, and many, many more. The "Social Gospel" is part of the Gospel, but has been censored by White Southern Baptists "Ministers".
I’m a 42 yr old black man raised in the south. I’ve lived in Georgia my whole life. As a follower of Christ married for 20 years, I have learned the significance of ministry to a man’s home being his first priority. When I was in my 30s and first (yes I didn’t hear about this until later in life) heard about the sinful and dark private life of Dr. King I was so disappointed. I couldn’t believe that no one had ever mentioned this to me in over three decades. I asked, how could a true man of God hurt his wife like this that he is charged to love, cover and protect and never seem repentant about it. How could he be living that way for so long and continue to get in the pulpit? Then later, I found out about some of his doctrinal beliefs. Now this video has shown me plainly and clearly he was not a Christian. Thank you for this information!
Growing up in Alabama, the emphasis on the importance of this man in the church was drilled into us. At an early age, I began to think and learn for myself and I knew he was not a believer of the true gospel. Sad to see so many loved ones still think of him as a monolithic figure in the church. They turn a blind eye to every thing that you've said. Thank you
@@joshua6545didn't you listen to Virgil, he quoted MLK and what he said he believed. He did not believe in Jesus Christ and His death for our sins and His resurrection for the justification of any sinner who would believe and trust in Him. MLK, died in his sins unforgiven, he rejected the Lord Jesus Christ who alone could have saved his soul, now MLK is tormented by his conscience for rejecting Jesus Christ and condemning his own soul to hellfire for eternity. Unless he cried out to God to save him before he breathed his last breath that's where he is at.
@@Jeremiah17910 agreed. I agree!! If he did not follow Jesus he is already judged. What I'm confused about is why in the world would that be the focus right now? Why on a day when we want to focus on justice, and things of the sort is the focus on his doctrine? I'm going to be blunt with you. Why on reformation Sunday don't we ask why these other men with great doctrine and clarity commit such vicious and horrendous crimes? It feels one sided and I can't for the life of me guess why except maybe... He's 🤔
@@joshua6545I won't hold my breath for a response. They're picking on MLK because he was black. MLK was heretical. But so were many of the founding fathers. I would even question the salvation of the pioneers of the Southern Baptist Convention, owing to their hatred of ethnic minorities. But let's just keep focusing on MLK every January 15. Was he heretical? Of course. But I don't think his heretical doctrines were the motivating factor in producing this video
I would add that King's efforts were largely aimed at achieving political rights, but the real problem with seg was that persons of color were largely barred from participating in the economic life of the community. In the south, the white middle class merchants were the ones who saw that seg hurt them in their businesses. They were the first to call for an end to seg. In this connection, I believe Robert (Bob) Woodson takes this view of the Civil Rights movement. He works to empower POCs economically through his foundation.

Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing him been mentioned here also Didn't know he has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, i'm in my fifth trade with him and it has been super.
Amen!!! I am a Black Man who loves Yah!! I learned about this in the 90s. People called me an Uncle Tom, a liar, and tried to silence me! I never abandon my faith in Jesus being Divine and The Son of God; however, the so-called “Black Church” has made Micheal King Divine… I am glad the truth is coming out!
Can G3 do series on this? I would like to see this expanded. It answers a lot of questions that have always nagged at the back of my head. But it also raises others. Is this why the Civil rights movement collapsed (i.e. because it wasn’t built on Christ in reality, it had nothing to stand on except man’s ambitions)? Is this why today we see mostly fraud and charlatanism among those who claim to be “for the oppressed?” I knew King wasn’t squeaky clean, but it never occurred to me that he might not be orthodox. This is quite revealing.
Good question. My answer would be yes, without even having to think about it too much. Anything that excludes God is not going to succeed. Although groups like BLM have taken charlatanism to a whole new level. I've never seen anything ruin a society so fast. Look at the "criminal justice reform", and DEI.
The deeper you dig into this rabbit hole, you'll see that the entire Civil Rights Movement was a false flag, created to instill racial divide and to fan the flames of racial hostility. The teachers that "Dr." King were taught were all pro-communist who were Anti-Christ.
I don't know that the Civil Rights movement collapsed as much as white resistance to integration collapsed over time. After all, the movement's proponents achieved their goals because white communities in the south mainly, began to see "seg" wasn't worth defending, and a great part of the impetus for change came from middle class, white merchants who understood that black folk's money was as green as white folk's money. They also understood that cities' and counties' police agencies simply couldn't afford to continue policies that enforced or supported seg. That was middle class whites paying for all those cops, and they got tired of paying for "protection" that accomplished very little. They could no longer afford the manpower which cost a lot of money, and then there was the media heat. The Civil Rights people were allowed to shop at certain stores despite seg, so boycotts of those stores in cities north and south were, in my view, more effective in breaking down seg than marches, which only served to annoy and anger whites. Thurgood Marshall, truth be known, took a dim view of King's "non-violent" resistance. He believed that the courts could and would right the wrongs of discrimination and segregation, and he was right, IMHO.
@@user-hv2ru2mq5uinteresting and fair take. The person you were responding to may feel that the civil rights movement was nor complete because the courts struck down busing and thus school integration came to a halt and many schools are still segregated by race today. What are your thoughts on that. Did school integration happen the way it should have?
It’s been said that the black church consists of more heat than light. Historically we are more enamored with the fiery, passionate messages from a charismatic orator as opposed to a serious consideration of receiving and propagating the truth of scripture. Fortunately we’ve seen s shift to the latter in many black churches, where the focus is on the content of the message and its adherence to scripture as well as the message being delivered by a skilled speaker! Thank you brother for boldly and clearly presenting the truth (no matter how unpopular it may be viewed)
On MLK Day, I told my mother about all of his faults and non-Christian behavior, but she didn't believe me. I'll play this for her and hope she listens carefully to what you're saying here. So many people have literally deified this man, and Christians in particular need to understand how flawed and unchristian he really was.
I want to know who chooses the heroes for the black community, who molds them, educates them & then gives them a platform? Thank you for this truth. I don’t mind having my foundation shaken to its core!
The Bible does teach that there is and will be a one world order headed by an Antichrist in the end times. I'm sure the answer to your question lies therein.
We "black Christians" do not have any hero but Christ....just like all other Christians. We are no different. Born again, washed, new and in the family of God. Our hero is Christ.
@@crystalwashington9280💯. He or she posed those questions as if these issues are unique to the Black community. Every ethnic group is grappling under the sheer weight of original sin that Adam bequeathed to us. We all need Jesus Christ for redemption
Thank you for having the courage to share this. I learned this many years ago but was met with so much skepticism about it. Black folks have a tendency to idolize certain people. While Dr. King did some great things, most people aren't versed well enough in our core beliefs to make a distinction about good and bad theology. I pray this video will open some eyes!
It is so tragic how many, upon hearing this, will still clasp their hands over their ears and scream “la la la”!! It’s far from simply Martin Luther King Jr. People do it with Billy Graham, Ronald Reagan, Franklin Roosevelt, and Charles Stanley. Be bereans. And read Psalm 146:3 & Isaiah 2:22. PS, It was a joy and edifying to meet and hear you this past September down in Atlanta at G3, Mr. Walker. 5 Solas from Buffalo! ❄️❄️❄️ Pat (Mark Hamilton’s friend) 😁
This is...wow. If he believed this, this is a man-made gospel that saves no one but makes man a God instead. Virgil, I knew there was something about you the first time I saw you on Fearless with Jason Whitlock. God wanted me to see you there so I could find this G3 channel. Since listening to G3, I have learned so much. My favorite teachers are here- Voddie Baucham, Paul Washer, Justin Peters, Susan Heck- wow! I am looking forward to learning more about womens role as defined in scripture as well. This channel helps me in my quest to seek expository teaching of the Bible. My life goal is Bible only, or Sola Scriptura, as Paul Washer says, because if I believe the Bible is my standard for living, I don't need additional information with God's inspired word. Martin Luther King Jr.'s writings are not God inspired (makes sense since his immorality was unknown by the public for many years as well). The lie of the social gospel is that it is no gospel at all.
did you know "During his holiday break from graduate school, King delivered a version of the following handwritten sermon outline at Ebenezer.1 He asks,"Will Christmas mean just another item in our social calendar or will it mean a new life and new attitudes resulting from our encounter with Christ." He said, "When I stand in the face of Christ I am ashamed of myself. His noble character cause me to cry not "I thank God that I am not like other men. but "God be merciful unto me a sinner. We should go away with the conviction that Christ way is our eternal hope." honestly could care less for his doctrinal beliefs - I'm wondering why the pressure to decide on this guy based on some quotes from a paper early on in life. Why pick him to attack like this? Did he ever say abandon Jesus for salvation? "let us join together in a great fellowship of love and bow down at the feet of Jesus. Give us this strong determination. In the name and spirit of this Christ, we pray. Amen." - MLK I'm here to cast all sorts of doubts lol
@joshua6545 The Bible (1 Timothy 4:16) states, "Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers." The whole chapter is good actually because Paul is advising Timothy to be aware of deceiving spirits that will bring teaching by demons. I read the paper myself since trusting another man's thoughts is not the goal, but understanding God's word, the history, the context, then applying it where it does apply to someone should matter to all Christians. Martin Luther King Jr. concluded that Jesus was human but not divine. If he still believed this up to his death, chances are he taught this as a minister to others. That matters because man-made gospels take us far from God. His social message was spot-on, but when you quote scripture in some places and then denounce Jesus in other instances, it shows a shaky foundation. That is all I'm saying. Doctrine does matter.

Disbelieving the deity of Christ isn’t heterodox. It isn’t a different flavor within orthodoxy. It’s heretical: it’s heresy. It denies an essential truth that is Christianity.
He provide zero, zero, zero verification that King didn't believe in the deity of Jesus. But, you swallow it whole. What else will you believe with no proof?
I think it’s SO important to see videos like this one. If a white pastor says these things about MLK, he’s labeled a racist, but if another black pastor says it, it raises a lot of eyebrows. Thank you for sharing, brother.

Great job. I've been telling people this truth for 30 years. I've been PERSECUTED by EVERYONE I've shed this light on, being called a racist. Well done.
Thank you for revealing the truth about MLK. I wondered over the years why my parents never publicly celebrated MLK. My parents were a product of the "equal, but separate rights". I believe the equal but separate rights morphed into the "civil rights" movement and was and is a social gospel.
If you read MLK's autobiography you would've come across this information concerning King's heretical beliefs. Nothing in this video reveals anything new -- at least to those who have taken the time to read MLK's autobiography
I am 56 years old and I started teaching public school last week after working as a business owner for 28 years. I AM SHOCK at the state of high school aged children’s minds. It’s not at all okay with what I seeing. I have heard the N word more last week than I have heard in business for years!!! hearing the words Black and White in front of the word people by too many kids. Respect and self control having to be constantly challenged and fought for moment by moment. In my mind I wanted to share my knowledge about life to kids starting their journey only to see they have no interest in their journey at all. One week into teaching and I’m no longer worried about a few kids in a high school but the nation as a whole.
I found this out about 7-8 years ago. It kindda rocked me; not because I couldn’t accept it, but the fact that my family and church nearly deified king. How could I tell them? How are they gonna accept whom this “hero” actually was. It was rough and some people didn’t and won’t talk about it to this day
Do not feel alone, Trump has become that to many evangelicals, I was annoyed with my husband that I told him that when all would be said and done we will canonize Trump.

Whoa! This video is eye opening. I'm 65 & never knew these things about MLKJr. Thank you for making this video. Shared this video on Facebook & Twitter (X).
Thanks Sir, for championing the truth about a man that people want to admire and deify because of flowery speech and warm fuzzies. A gospel of salvation by works and deeds is no gospel at all.
Well done. I knew King's lifestyle [his adulterous affairs, orgies etc] did not line up with a true follower of the Messiah nor believer in G-d [1Peter 1:16]. But what you share here now makes sense why he lived the way he did. True, as a man who did ground breaking work on civil rights he should be honored. But it should be made known to the world he was no man of G-d [as in the G-d of Abraham - Issac - Jacob]
Virgil Walker is one hundred percent correct. Why don't more people know this? It's because most of us were not taught to look to primary historical sources when studying a historical figure or issue. I've been reading through The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr. off and on for about a year and King's own writings repeatedly reject the deity of Christ, the Virgin Birth, and the Resurrection, just like Walker said.

I've noticed from a political cultural perspective that MLK day is more hallowed than Christmas and Easter. While there is tolerance for not honoring Christ , there is zero tolerance for not showing reverence for MLK. Subtle
I’m a fan of G3 and have greatly benefited from their ministry. That being said, despite the truth being presented here, I find it hard to believe that if MLK Day were Jonathan Edwards Day in some alternate reality, Virgil would be enjoying a similar position. Nor do I believe that similar interjections would have been made for any doctrinal errors of Jonathan Edwards. I’m a 25-year-old Black male who, by God’s grace, holds orthodox beliefs. That being said, my understanding of US History seems to point to orthodox Christians of the time being slow to reform the issues MLK saw required more urgency. One has to consider if MLK saw the orthodox Christians of his day effectively making progress against the racial issues of that time, would he have adopted an orthodox view of Christianity. I think it’s far too easy for us today, who are not actively dealing with the same pressures MLK faced, to assume we would have come to different conclusions if put in his position. Again, I’m all for adherence to historic orthodox Christianity, but being that I’m also Black, I’m very grateful for MLK’s contributions.
💯💯💯. Spot on. Walker seems to critique MLK every year. He did it last year too. This is his way of taking a swipe at the Black community. MLK was not a Christian. I believe he was heretical and immoral. But God used him to end government sanctioned segregation while the White evangelical church assisted in maintaining the status quo. Had MLK not led the fight against segregation the US might've still been segregated today. Hopefully Walker will consider producing a video examining the racist pioneers of the Southern Baptist Convention who fought against Lincoln and the ending of slavery. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
@@kevinevans8892it was the same piece revisited from the previous year. If Jonathan Edward’s held unorthodox beliefs believed to be Christian and we had a national holiday celebrating his accomplishments, rest assured I’d be making a video. The focus of my content here is orthodoxy. Note, it’s not morality (adultery, womanizing). I purposely addressed doctrine. If there’s a doctrine Edwards held that contradicts Scripture, I’m all ears. If you’re simply upset because MLK is black and your idea of fairness is for me to address someone white, I’m not the problem-ethnic idolatry is the issue.
@@VirgilWlkr Thank you for taking the time to respond. All of your responses to provide clarity on this matter are greatly appreciated. Also, please offer corrections where I'm wrong. In my opinion, it is not that Jonathan Edward's held to unorthodox beliefs but the efficacy of his orthodoxy to produce the call to human rights that the scriptures teach during his time as compared to MLK, who, despite his heretical beliefs and immorality, seemingly had a better grasp on the human rights taught by the scriptures than Jonathan Edward's did, or at least was used by God to cause folks at that time to elevate their understanding of it. To clarify the point I was trying to make. The same level of fervor when addressing MLK doesn't seem to be applied when it comes to a Jonathan Edwards, who, although held to orthodox beliefs, in my opinion, failed to apply and uphold a subset of those beliefs as it relates to the issue of slavery and human rights as compared to MLK. Jonathan Edward's silence on the matter allowed for how many more atrocities related to slavery to continue? If the goal is a holistic adherence to orthodox Christian beliefs, then I think the efficacy of those beliefs to produce biblical fidelity and address the sinful manifestations at the time also needs to be part of the discussion. In this case, I think MLK's beliefs, although heretical, were more effective at combating the dehumanization during his time.
Thank you for informing us on this very important issue, and for standing up for the true teachings of the bible. There are so many things, beliefs, and affiliations that we must be willing to lay down so as to be a true follower of Christ.

What is sad is how the Evangelicals praise MLK jr as some great preacher and Christian. I think most Evangelicals have followed the social gospel which has nothing to do with Jesus Christ Lord and Savior. The road to destruction is wide and many will go the way of destruction. The road to salvation is narrow.

@@hidden-treasures yes sure. Would you please start at the beginning of chapter two. You really need to study the whole book of James to see what he is saying. And it sounds like you don’t believe in God’s ability to put together a Bible that isn’t corrupt.
Thank you for this video. Many people are completely unaware of his unfortunate unsound doctrines of Christianity and unbiblical understanding of the one true Gospel of Jesus Christ!
The social gospel (liberal theology) predominated in most if not all protestant churches in the US from the second half of the 19th century until at least the early 1970s. Liberal theology was an attempt to reconcile science - as it was then understood - with orthodox theology. It failed.
Thank you for this teaching brother. This was so informative but also sad in the fact that King was most likely not a true disciple of Christ Sadly the social justice gospel is still going strong today
I'm a white European woman born in the US. This is so fascinating. I never connected with MLK as a teen, but wasn't sure why. I appreciate people who do good, inspire others and change the world. But, now, this explains my lack of connection with MLK. Great video.Thank you.
"Don't judge people by their skin color but by the content of their character" is a double edged sword. Racism is indeed a sin that anyone can commit. However, since no one seeks for God (Romans 3L10-12) and our character comes directly from our hearts which are deceptively evil (Jeremiah 17: 9-10) we can't judge people by that either. No one's character seeks for God either. Only those whose character has been hijacked (in the best of ways) by the Holy Spirit can we judge and that's inside the Church. God judges those outside of the Chruch. 1 Corinthians 5: 13-13. We are to call everyone, everywhere to repentance like the Apostle Paul said. Acts 17:30. Do not follow the doctrines of men. Follow Scripture.
"Racism" isn't a sin. Making distinctions based on race is basic pattern recognition that all intelligent people engage in. Hatred is a sin, but noticing racial differences and making decisions based on this differences is not inherently hateful
I have raised my children that only character counts and that man sees the outside of a person, but God sees the heart. But our hearts are deceitfully wicked above all things. So there is much balance to be found.
My people perish for a lack of knowledge… This is not the first time I heard of this even about his original name. It makes a lot of sense. I respect and appreciate the changes that may have come from this social justice adventure, however I have NEVER put any man above Christ… He has always held the first seat in my heart and mind. Good Content and Thanks for sharing TRUTH. Let’s start looking behind the veil…Amen 💯🫡🙌👏👏👊✌️

Wow! What an education I'm getting today! Sadly, most of us, blacks, will automatically dismiss this and angrily call this messenger as a sellout or Uncle Tom. Thank you, Sir, for enlightening us.
Dr. King's embrace of liberal heresy is certain and important to acknowledge. However, just as Ben Franklin's unbelief and Thomas Jefferson's heretical beliefs do not negate their contributions to our nation's founding, King's serious theological errors do not negate his courage in leading nonviolent protests in order to help establish greater political equality in accordance with principles seen in the Declaration of Independence.
This is distorting King's legacy to the max! I've read King's books, was aware of the accusations against King, but this man took every evil thing said about the man, and made a video about it! King was a Christian, though an imperfect one!
@@hidden-treasures If he didn't believe in the truth about Jesus Christ how could he have been a christian? Did you watch the full video? And the contributions they made to society means nothing if they had no belief, they are in hell if they didn't repent and come to know the truth. The contributions they made to society has zero eternal value to them, they are temporary things in this temporary fallen world. I am not saying their contributions were not noble but in the long run what eternal purpose do they serve? The best thing you can receive is the tru gospel of Jesus Christ, the best thing and most important thing is to put all faith and trust in Jesus Christ. The point of the video is to highlight that he was not a true Christian despite his title as one and his contributions to society.
I have read King's books. He has not. I have listened to King's speeches. He has not. Just because someone speaks authoritatively does not mean they have any idea at all why they are talking about! Christianity Today rebuked John MacAuthor for his ignorant statements about King. But he speaks authoritatively, so people believe him.@@mckenziecolclough8547
I read King's books. I listened to his collection of sermons. This guy did not. Had he, he would know that King was a Christian. But when you have a political agenda, like this guy does, then you have the liberty of saying whatever you want in a video!@@mckenziecolclough8547
You ignore James 2:6, Malachi 3:5, Isaiah 61:1, Isaiah 58:6-7 Acts 2:44, and many, many more. The "Social Gospel" is part of the Gospel, but has been censored by White Southern Baptists "Ministers".
@@hidden-treasures You seemingly ignored the video! MLK denied orthodox views of the faith that are ESSENTIAL to believe! Please go back and re-watch. As for your comment and the scriptures, that you are quoting out of context, those NT passages refer to those in the church (brothers and sisters in Christ). That includes White AND Black saints of God. Jesus commands Christians to love their neighbor enough that when we see them in need, we do not shut-up our bowels of compassion (1 John 3:17), knowing that when we assist our brother or sister, to the best of our ability) in something that they need, we are doing it to Jesus (Matt 25:40). He also commands His followers to NOT be self seeking (Luke 9:23), and to work with your own hands (1 Thess 4:11). BUT, It is absolutely NOT referring to a system of government. All throughout scripture you see support of capitalism. Stop lying on God!
I believe you are Jewish, because you believe in Einstein's theories. You see, the video is deliberately deceptive, because it implies that believing in a man's legal theories, means you have taken on his religion! Which is ridiculous. Dr. King was a Christian, who used techniques of other Civil Rights activists. Is your Dentist a Nazi because he used prescriptions developed by Nazi doctors? BTW: I read King's books. They are Christian books! @@ptwevangelism
Unlike you, I have read King's books, marched, known people who knew King, and the video is the most slanderous, lying piece of garbage I have ever seen! Someone could paint you or I as a monster, by selectively editing our words. This man includes none of the Christian books King wrote, and implies that his association with Ghandi was a religious one, when it was not!@@ptwevangelism
Ive been a minister for a long time now wow I'm glad i found this video because ive thought that king was a christ believing holy Spirit filled man. Well this has opened my eyes
About 13 years ago, after I became a born-again Christian, I read through the Bible. I came across Jeremiah 33:3 and started asking God questions. One question I asked was, if Psalm 91 is true, why didn't You, Lord protect MLK from getting murdered when he did so much good? Some weeks later, a man who had been an activist and photographer with MLK walked into my office. Long story short, I asked him what MLK really believed about Jesus. He told me what brother Virgil is expounding in this content. Later I researched and confirmed what the activist had said.
While I don't challenge your story of whether MLK was a true Christian, because I don't know, I do challenge your premise that the reason God didn't protect him, was for that reason. God DOES protect His people as long as HE still has a purpose for them (see Psalm 138:8) But when God's purpose is fulfilled, even men of God die, and sometimes, it's by murder. Example: John the Baptist was absolutely God's man. His purpose was to go before Messiah, proclaiming His coming. He did that, and then ended up in prison where he was beheaded. (Read Matthew 11 and 14) But the bible also says "Precious in the the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints" (Psalm 116:15) And "The wicked are destroyed when calamity comes, but even in death, the righteous have a refuge (Proverbs 14:32) And "1The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. 2Those who walk uprightly enter into peace;they find rest as they lie in death." (Isaiah 57:1-2) The difference between Christians and non Christians, is not that Christians don't die, even in horrific ways. God DOES watch over Chrisitans and the day of our death is "precious" in sight. But when Christians dies, he enters into "rest" and is "with Christ." (Philippians 1:23) because God's purpose for him is fulfilled!
@@rolysantos Have you read Hebrews 11? Some were killed for their faith, but many were also delivered even from the mouths of lions by their faith. Jesus also said that He could have called upon legions of angels to deliver Him from the cross. Paul chose to be delivered from death many times until he was done with his mission and wanted to depart. Whether we live or die, may it be for Christ.
@@minerva9273 Yes, I’ve read Hebrews 11. I did not say God does not deliver His people. I said you cannot determine that because God did not deliver someone from a horrible death, it’s because they’re weren’t Christian Notice, in Hebrews 11 it says “some were killed.” See the point???
@@rolysantos I didn't say that at all. I just reported the sequence of events that stood out after I asked God my question. I'm sure you've read Psalm 91. My concern was my own doubt whether I could believe God for such a great promise if I trusted His Word. If I don't believe Jesus was raised from the dead, as MLK didn't, how could I apply my faith to believe in Psalm 91?
@@minerva9273 I hear you but the way your comment is worded it sounds like you concluded that the reason God did not deliver MLK from assassination is because he wasn’t truly Christian. This belief, whether it was your intention or not, is not biblical. As I pointed out, and as Hebrews 11 confirms, God Does deliver His people but sometimes He allows them to die, even at the hands of wicked men. But the death of His saints is precious in His sight. Also, when we truly trust The Lord, we accept His will; whether He chooses to deliver us from impending death OR not! Like the three Hebrew children who refused to bow to the statue built by Nebuchadnezzar Who said “ 17If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. 18But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” Daniel 3 It’s the “But even if He does not” mentality that is the mark of true faith! We trust The Lord, no matter what!!!!
I heard this a few years ago and found it hard to beieve not because of who he was but because I honestly thought he was a Bible believing follower of Christ.
He was a Baptist preacher. He didn't need to masquerade that. What he did masquerade was his faith in Jesus Christ. He was obviously not a true Christian.
@@janepatton8100 William Branham was most definitely a Pentecostal yet he was a full fledged heretic. Yet I know of no one who questions his Pentecostalism. No matter how you wanna slice it, MLK was a Baptist. A heretical Baptist, but a Baptist nonetheless
He also was immoral, cheating on his wife constantly. That's all you need to know to give you an insight to the man. "He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, because we are members of His body." (Ephesians 5:33)
I agree. As someone mentioned here, there were several prominent Christian theologians mentioned in the comments that owned slaves. Are they saying these "godly men" will not be held accountable for this practice if they never repented of this wickedness? Worse, some of them even used scripture to justify this practice. The Southern Baptist Convention was organized to protect and preserve slave ownership. Don't let me even get into the despicable and wicked behavior of the former president. I'm sure some of the people in the discussion here love hearing this about MLK but unfortunately defend Trump's behavior and turn a blind eye and deaf ear to it. Extremely troubling. May God have mercy on our nation.
I’m 56 and a black man and I’ve never heard about this part of MLKS life, however I never put a man on a pedestal for that simple fact he is not the Messiah Christ Jesus is the only Savior. And you couldn’t make a majority of black folks believe that this man is not a man of God because a lot not all don’t know basic biblical doctrine and theology. Great information.
That’s called revisionist history… I didn’t know it either, but the public school didn’t tell me any of that.
@@icouldbewrongbutithink5279,
And the public schools (PS) won’t teach this. The PS could care less about this portion of MLK’s life. PS wouldn’t understand the ramifications anyway.
I’m amazed again and again how many ravenous wolves are in the church.
It is hard to find it brother, but it's there. Check out the book, "Color, Communism and Common Sense," by black men Manning Johnson & Archibald B Roosevelt.

@@icouldbewrongbutithink5279 wait - you're saying it's the public school position to teach you doctrine as a child? They spoke about what mattered to them - this man did some good and it should be noted. Let the Christians fight over details regarding what he believed vs what he said, and did.
I’m a 57 year old American of African ancestry.
When I was 14 years old I researched Michael King Jr. as I prepared a presentation for “black history “ a month essay contest.
It shocked me then when I read that King considered Gandhi to be his most significant influence.
As a “church” kid, I wondered how a Hindu leader could possibly have greater influence on a Christian “preacher” than Jesus Christ.
That led me to look deeper into his life and his real beliefs.
In addition to MLK's embrace of Ghandi, it is mind boggling to understand why MLK would have him as an icon to follow, when it is significant to know that Ghandi had some extremely racist views about black people!
honest question - would it be any better if MLK just murdered some people, exiled others, but spoke the clear and right gospel? I'm struggling with hearing praise for some while only hearing evil of this man. I can't make sense of it.
I love how you identify yourself, an American of African ancestry. Well said.
Wolves in sheep’s clothing always trying to destroy the gospel of Christ.
You should see some of the things Gandhi said about us black people in South Africa, horrendous
I'm a 52 year old black woman. Even as a child, I really didn't understand all the praise about MLK . Or all the blackness idolatry. Especially what's going on now. I do know there's racism of course, but I also do not think everything is racist. I knew he didn't seem like a true Christian or preacher. Call it decernment of the Spirit. Thank you, Jesus, for exposing. A lot of falsehood is coming out.
Me as an Italian man that has a granddaughter that's Italian and black, when my granddaughter was born and I looked at her, it made me realize racism is evil, my granddaughter so beautiful, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. Some of us have darker skin that's all,the pigmentation in our skin. The Lord God judges the heart!
Racism doesn not exist. It's a spiritual battle we encounter
No true Christian is going to be racist. We rise above all that in Christ. We are brothers and sisters in Christ. @@gabriel-1957
Most racism is directed at white people
Well said. You are a very wise woman.
I'm so glad the truth about MLK is coming out. My Mom spent a majority of her life trying to educate the people in her sphere of influence on the truth of MLK, but it mostly seemed to fall on deaf ears.
Why are you glad? Do you want his work erased? I don't know anyone who went to MLK for salvation or studies on theology except those who want to spend their lives correcting him about things he's not known for. Help me see why the focus on this and not what's important and good about his work? I can't get over why this nishe focus when others who are known for having a clear understanding of the gospel and written great works murdered Innocent people and encouraged the murder of many more.
@@joshua6545 *niche
From one Joshua to another, those who "have a clear understanding of the gospel and written great works" clearly don't if they murder the innocent. Why are you upset at those who point out unibiblical views and erroneous teachings? "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
No one here is discrediting MLK's contributions to American Civil Rights, we are merely suggesting that one should exercise caution when revering other human beings and their words, especially when in this case they were outrightly blasphemous. Placing the focus on a man's good works unfortunately often comes with the subsequent turning of the blind eye to his mistakes and sins, often because we look to other human beings for inspiration rather than Christ Himself (He who was and is without sin).
I'd also caution you from slipping into accusations that have no moral grounding. If you take issue with others, do it respectfully and maintain humility.
Nothing is what it seems, if it's too good to be true. Then, might just be so, the fact is people lack the ability to further themselves, by digging deeper into the "Truth "
Thanks for what your mom, tried to do.
@joshua6545. The issues being spoken of here about MLK are the fact he wanted a worldly salvation which is another gospel. Not the one christ amd the apostle preached. Which was christ and HIM crucified for our sins. Paul writes that if anyone preaches a different gospel than that of christ crucified let him be accursed. So there in lies the issue with MLK. He was storing up treasures on earth not in heaven.
You mom must have been a brave woman and a true warrior for Christ.
I 100% agree with this video as well. Having done my own research on MLK years ago, reading his latest letters, I cannot in clear conscious consider MLK a brother in Christ, he was a hinderance of the gospel of Christ, perhaps even an enemy. Some other quotes:
- I’ve been to the Mountaintop (1968): It's all right to talk about the new Jerusalem, but one day God's preacher must talk about the new New York, the new Atlanta, the new Philadelphia, the new Los Angeles, the new Memphis, Tennessee. [Applause] This is what we have to do.
- Letter from Birmingham Jail (1963): the Apostle Paul left his little village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to practically every hamlet and city of the Greco-Roman world, I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular hometown.
In the above letter, as reading it, I was most hopeful for him showing elements of orthodoxy, for that letter is rich in religious language. Yet, in the end I was saddened by how MLK used Christianity as a veneer for his social agenda. MLK had no saving gospel only an American one. And this is what he left the black community with. A hope for preachers to speak about the ills of society and not the ills of sin, to speak on the freedom from oppression, and not the freedom from being a slave of sin through the gospel of Christ. By God’s grace, may “Black people” (which I’m a part of) wake up and see that MLK did help advance a cause, but not one that has eternal value. We need the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to go forth, not MLK’s gospel of freedom. Soli Deo gloria
Great words brother, Most impactful part you said "MLK did help advance a cause, but not one that has eternal value" May God bless you sir!
Amen Brother, Jesus Christ and Him crucified on the Cross and His resurrection from the dead is the only true gospel, that can save a soul from hell, no other so called gospels are true gospels, MLK'S gospel of freedom
is of the Devil, look what has done to the black community and white community, it has turned many to hate anyone who doesn't agree with the social gospel of today.
GOD BLESS YOU 🙏
WOW!!! I bet that you are a devout student of the word!!
Thank you for this. GOD bless you!
As a kid growing up in the 70’s it’s hard not to see MLK as a hero. As I got older and turning to Jesus for salvation and learning the scriptures and listening to MLK I heard a difference in theology. MLK was always presented as a Christian when in fact he was not.
That title "Reverend" in front of his name misled everybody. The same goes for Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton.
@@shirlenefarrar1404 The title "reverend" in front of anybody's name is not only misleading, but also is wrong. They are taking a descriptor reserved for God and appropriating it to themselves.

I’m a 42 yr old black man raised in the south. I’ve lived in Georgia my whole life. As a follower of Christ married for 20 years, I have learned the significance of ministry to a man’s home being his first priority. When I was in my 30s and first (yes I didn’t hear about this until later in life) heard about the sinful and dark private life of Dr. King I was so disappointed. I couldn’t believe that no one had ever mentioned this to me in over three decades. I asked, how could a true man of God hurt his wife like this that he is charged to love, cover and protect and never seem repentant about it. How could he be living that way for so long and continue to get in the pulpit? Then later, I found out about some of his doctrinal beliefs. Now this video has shown me plainly and clearly he was not a Christian. Thank you for this information!
Thank you for your willingness to face truth.
If you say this to his daughter, Bernice king, she’ll accuse you of assisting the spread of white supremacy.
Sad that you believed J. Edgar Hoover's lies about King. Coretta never believed them, and neither should we.
Growing up in Alabama, the emphasis on the importance of this man in the church was drilled into us. At an early age, I began to think and learn for myself and I knew he was not a believer of the true gospel. Sad to see so many loved ones still think of him as a monolithic figure in the church. They turn a blind eye to every thing that you've said. Thank you
Sad but true. He was a Communist and adulterer.
@annieharrison851 - you knew he was a not believer?
@@joshua6545didn't you listen to Virgil, he quoted MLK and what he said he believed. He did not believe in Jesus Christ and His death for our sins and His resurrection for the justification of any sinner who would believe and trust in Him. MLK, died in his sins unforgiven, he rejected the Lord Jesus Christ who alone could have saved his soul, now MLK is tormented by his conscience for rejecting Jesus Christ and condemning his own soul to hellfire for eternity. Unless he cried out to God to save him before he breathed his last breath that's where he is at.
@@Jeremiah17910 agreed. I agree!! If he did not follow Jesus he is already judged. What I'm confused about is why in the world would that be the focus right now? Why on a day when we want to focus on justice, and things of the sort is the focus on his doctrine?
I'm going to be blunt with you. Why on reformation Sunday don't we ask why these other men with great doctrine and clarity commit such vicious and horrendous crimes? It feels one sided and I can't for the life of me guess why except maybe... He's 🤔
@@joshua6545I won't hold my breath for a response. They're picking on MLK because he was black. MLK was heretical. But so were many of the founding fathers. I would even question the salvation of the pioneers of the Southern Baptist Convention, owing to their hatred of ethnic minorities. But let's just keep focusing on MLK every January 15. Was he heretical? Of course. But I don't think his heretical doctrines were the motivating factor in producing this video
Thank you, Virgil for telling the full truth about MLK.
I would add that King's efforts were largely aimed at achieving political rights, but the real problem with seg was that persons of color were largely barred from participating in the economic life of the community. In the south, the white middle class merchants were the ones who saw that seg hurt them in their businesses. They were the first to call for an end to seg.
In this connection, I believe Robert (Bob) Woodson takes this view of the Civil Rights movement. He works to empower POCs economically through his foundation.

I never knew any of these facts about MLK. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. YESHUA is KING 👑
Can G3 do series on this? I would like to see this expanded. It answers a lot of questions that have always nagged at the back of my head. But it also raises others. Is this why the Civil rights movement collapsed (i.e. because it wasn’t built on Christ in reality, it had nothing to stand on except man’s ambitions)? Is this why today we see mostly fraud and charlatanism among those who claim to be “for the oppressed?”
I knew King wasn’t squeaky clean, but it never occurred to me that he might not be orthodox. This is quite revealing.
Good question. My answer would be yes, without even having to think about it too much. Anything that excludes God is not going to succeed. Although groups like BLM have taken charlatanism to a whole new level. I've never seen anything ruin a society so fast. Look at the "criminal justice reform", and DEI.
The deeper you dig into this rabbit hole, you'll see that the entire Civil Rights Movement was a false flag, created to instill racial divide and to fan the flames of racial hostility. The teachers that "Dr." King were taught were all pro-communist who were Anti-Christ.
Well said!! I think you are spot on when it comes to the Civil Rights Movement!
I don't know that the Civil Rights movement collapsed as much as white resistance to integration collapsed over time. After all, the movement's proponents achieved their goals because white communities in the south mainly, began to see "seg" wasn't worth defending, and a great part of the impetus for change came from middle class, white merchants who understood that black folk's money was as green as white folk's money.
They also understood that cities' and counties' police agencies simply couldn't afford to continue policies that enforced or supported seg. That was middle class whites paying for all those cops, and they got tired of paying for "protection" that accomplished very little. They could no longer afford the manpower which cost a lot of money, and then there was the media heat.
The Civil Rights people were allowed to shop at certain stores despite seg, so boycotts of those stores in cities north and south were, in my view, more effective in breaking down seg than marches, which only served to annoy and anger whites. Thurgood Marshall, truth be known, took a dim view of King's "non-violent" resistance. He believed that the courts could and would right the wrongs of discrimination and segregation, and he was right, IMHO.
@@user-hv2ru2mq5uinteresting and fair take. The person you were responding to may feel that the civil rights movement was nor complete because the courts struck down busing and thus school integration came to a halt and many schools are still segregated by race today. What are your thoughts on that. Did school integration happen the way it should have?
It’s been said that the black church consists of more heat than light. Historically we are more enamored with the fiery, passionate messages from a charismatic orator as opposed to a serious consideration of receiving and propagating the truth of scripture. Fortunately we’ve seen s shift to the latter in many black churches, where the focus is on the content of the message and its adherence to scripture as well as the message being delivered by a skilled speaker! Thank you brother for boldly and clearly presenting the truth (no matter how unpopular it may be viewed)
Why do African American "christians"- may but NOT all- support political leaders who promote ABORTION?
On MLK Day, I told my mother about all of his faults and non-Christian behavior, but she didn't believe me. I'll play this for her and hope she listens carefully to what you're saying here. So many people have literally deified this man, and Christians in particular need to understand how flawed and unchristian he really was.
I want to know who chooses the heroes for the black community, who molds them, educates them & then gives them a platform? Thank you for this truth. I don’t mind having my foundation shaken to its core!
Excellent questions!!!👍
The Bible does teach that there is and will be a one world order headed by an Antichrist in the end times. I'm sure the answer to your question lies therein.

Thank you for having the courage to share this. I learned this many years ago but was met with so much skepticism about it. Black folks have a tendency to idolize certain people. While Dr. King did some great things, most people aren't versed well enough in our core beliefs to make a distinction about good and bad theology. I pray this video will open some eyes!

This is...wow. If he believed this, this is a man-made gospel that saves no one but makes man a God instead. Virgil, I knew there was something about you the first time I saw you on Fearless with Jason Whitlock. God wanted me to see you there so I could find this G3 channel. Since listening to G3, I have learned so much. My favorite teachers are here- Voddie Baucham, Paul Washer, Justin Peters, Susan Heck- wow! I am looking forward to learning more about womens role as defined in scripture as well. This channel helps me in my quest to seek expository teaching of the Bible. My life goal is Bible only, or Sola Scriptura, as Paul Washer says, because if I believe the Bible is my standard for living, I don't need additional information with God's inspired word. Martin Luther King Jr.'s writings are not God inspired (makes sense since his immorality was unknown by the public for many years as well). The lie of the social gospel is that it is no gospel at all.
did you know "During his holiday break from graduate school, King delivered a version of the following handwritten sermon outline at Ebenezer.1 He asks,"Will Christmas mean just another item in our social calendar or will it mean a new life and new attitudes resulting from our encounter with Christ." He said,
"When I stand in the face of Christ I am ashamed of myself. His noble character cause me to cry not "I thank God that I am not like other men. but "God be merciful unto me a sinner. We should go away with the conviction that Christ way is our eternal hope."
honestly could care less for his doctrinal beliefs - I'm wondering why the pressure to decide on this guy based on some quotes from a paper early on in life. Why pick him to attack like this? Did he ever say abandon Jesus for salvation?
"let us join together in a great fellowship of love and bow down at the feet of Jesus. Give us this strong determination. In the name and spirit of this Christ, we pray. Amen." - MLK
I'm here to cast all sorts of doubts lol
@joshua6545 The Bible (1 Timothy 4:16) states, "Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers." The whole chapter is good actually because Paul is advising Timothy to be aware of deceiving spirits that will bring teaching by demons. I read the paper myself since trusting another man's thoughts is not the goal, but understanding God's word, the history, the context, then applying it where it does apply to someone should matter to all Christians. Martin Luther King Jr. concluded that Jesus was human but not divine. If he still believed this up to his death, chances are he taught this as a minister to others. That matters because man-made gospels take us far from God. His social message was spot-on, but when you quote scripture in some places and then denounce Jesus in other instances, it shows a shaky foundation. That is all I'm saying. Doctrine does matter.

Disbelieving the deity of Christ isn’t heterodox. It isn’t a different flavor within orthodoxy. It’s heretical: it’s heresy. It denies an essential truth that is Christianity.

He provide zero, zero, zero verification that King didn't believe in the deity of Jesus. But, you swallow it whole. What else will you believe with no proof?
I think it’s SO important to see videos like this one. If a white pastor says these things about MLK, he’s labeled a racist, but if another black pastor says it, it raises a lot of eyebrows. Thank you for sharing, brother.
While I admired him for his stance on civil rights I am glad this is being brought out about him and his social gospel which does not save anyone.

”But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

As a 36-year-old "Black American" woman who is no longer a slave to the democratic plantation, "Vince Ellison" brought me here. This information right here changes everything.....
Great job. I've been telling people this truth for 30 years. I've been PERSECUTED by EVERYONE I've shed this light on, being called a racist. Well done.
Thank you. Painful to me personally, but truth matters above all. 🙏
Thank you for revealing the truth about MLK. I wondered over the years why my parents never publicly celebrated MLK. My parents were a product of the "equal, but separate rights". I believe the equal but separate rights morphed into the "civil rights" movement and was and is a social gospel.
If you read MLK's autobiography you would've come across this information concerning King's heretical beliefs. Nothing in this video reveals anything new -- at least to those who have taken the time to read MLK's autobiography
I already knew about his heretical beliefs. I appreciate those of continue to bring this information out. @@kevinevans8892
I am 56 years old and I started teaching public school last week after working as a business owner for 28 years. I AM SHOCK at the state of high school aged children’s minds. It’s not at all okay with what I seeing. I have heard the N word more last week than I have heard in business for years!!! hearing the words Black and White in front of the word people by too many kids. Respect and self control having to be constantly challenged and fought for moment by moment. In my mind I wanted to share my knowledge about life to kids starting their journey only to see they have no interest in their journey at all. One week into teaching and I’m no longer worried about a few kids in a high school but the nation as a whole.
I found this out about 7-8 years ago. It kindda rocked me; not because I couldn’t accept it, but the fact that my family and church nearly deified king. How could I tell them? How are they gonna accept whom this “hero” actually was. It was rough and some people didn’t and won’t talk about it to this day
Do not feel alone, Trump has become that to many evangelicals, I was annoyed with my husband that I told him that when all would be said and done we will canonize Trump.

Whoa! This video is eye opening. I'm 65 & never knew these things about MLKJr. Thank you for making this video. Shared this video on Facebook & Twitter (X).
This is sooo revealing! What's so sad is that a mere man is so revered that many will listen to this and reject it. Quite sad!
Thanks Sir, for championing the truth about a man that people want to admire and deify because of flowery speech and warm fuzzies.
A gospel of salvation by works and deeds is no gospel at all.
The speaker in this video is to be commended for his researching the subject at hand so thoroughly.
Well done. I knew King's lifestyle [his adulterous affairs, orgies etc] did not line up with a true follower of the Messiah nor believer in G-d [1Peter 1:16]. But what you share here now makes sense why he lived the way he did. True, as a man who did ground breaking work on civil rights he should be honored. But it should be made known to the world he was no man of G-d [as in the G-d of Abraham - Issac - Jacob]
King wasn't spooked out... King was the best 💯.. Better than any preacher I see today
Truth is powerful! The truth of the Word will indeed set us FREE!
Freedom to do what we ought to do! But grace enables us keep it between the lines, narrow road. I think this is OK to say?
Virgil Walker is one hundred percent correct. Why don't more people know this? It's because most of us were not taught to look to primary historical sources when studying a historical figure or issue. I've been reading through The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr. off and on for about a year and King's own writings repeatedly reject the deity of Christ, the Virgin Birth, and the Resurrection, just like Walker said.
Can you tell me what specific papers to look up, so I have them as evidence.
Freemasons reject Christ yet loyal to Luci
This is the most accurate, succinct and expert analysis of King and the social, false gospel.

Shocking how many in the comments didn’t know this. Glad the truth is being shared
EXCELLENT presentation! God bless you Pastor Walker!
Thank you for bringing truth to the fore front.
I've noticed from a political cultural perspective that MLK day is more hallowed than Christmas and Easter. While there is tolerance for not honoring Christ , there is zero tolerance for not showing reverence for MLK. Subtle
Well said
Christmas and Easter are both originally non Christian pagan festivals so I really can't complain about this one.
Thank you so much for speaking truth in the face of a popular misunderstanding.
I need a longer video expanding this! Great video
Great job Virgil!!!!! I can't wait to see you again.
I’m a fan of G3 and have greatly benefited from their ministry. That being said, despite the truth being presented here, I find it hard to believe that if MLK Day were Jonathan Edwards Day in some alternate reality, Virgil would be enjoying a similar position. Nor do I believe that similar interjections would have been made for any doctrinal errors of Jonathan Edwards.
I’m a 25-year-old Black male who, by God’s grace, holds orthodox beliefs. That being said, my understanding of US History seems to point to orthodox Christians of the time being slow to reform the issues MLK saw required more urgency. One has to consider if MLK saw the orthodox Christians of his day effectively making progress against the racial issues of that time, would he have adopted an orthodox view of Christianity.
I think it’s far too easy for us today, who are not actively dealing with the same pressures MLK faced, to assume we would have come to different conclusions if put in his position.
Again, I’m all for adherence to historic orthodox Christianity, but being that I’m also Black, I’m very grateful for MLK’s contributions.
💯💯💯. Spot on. Walker seems to critique MLK every year. He did it last year too. This is his way of taking a swipe at the Black community. MLK was not a Christian. I believe he was heretical and immoral. But God used him to end government sanctioned segregation while the White evangelical church assisted in maintaining the status quo. Had MLK not led the fight against segregation the US might've still been segregated today. Hopefully Walker will consider producing a video examining the racist pioneers of the Southern Baptist Convention who fought against Lincoln and the ending of slavery. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
@@kevinevans8892it was the same piece revisited from the previous year.
If Jonathan Edward’s held unorthodox beliefs believed to be Christian and we had a national holiday celebrating his accomplishments, rest assured I’d be making a video. The focus of my content here is orthodoxy. Note, it’s not morality (adultery, womanizing). I purposely addressed doctrine. If there’s a doctrine Edwards held that contradicts Scripture, I’m all ears. If you’re simply upset because MLK is black and your idea of fairness is for me to address someone white, I’m not the problem-ethnic idolatry is the issue.
@@kevinevans8892 Well said.
@VirgilWlkr well stated 👏
@@VirgilWlkr Thank you for taking the time to respond. All of your responses to provide clarity on this matter are greatly appreciated. Also, please offer corrections where I'm wrong.
In my opinion, it is not that Jonathan Edward's held to unorthodox beliefs but the efficacy of his orthodoxy to produce the call to human rights that the scriptures teach during his time as compared to MLK, who, despite his heretical beliefs and immorality, seemingly had a better grasp on the human rights taught by the scriptures than Jonathan Edward's did, or at least was used by God to cause folks at that time to elevate their understanding of it.
To clarify the point I was trying to make. The same level of fervor when addressing MLK doesn't seem to be applied when it comes to a Jonathan Edwards, who, although held to orthodox beliefs, in my opinion, failed to apply and uphold a subset of those beliefs as it relates to the issue of slavery and human rights as compared to MLK. Jonathan Edward's silence on the matter allowed for how many more atrocities related to slavery to continue?
If the goal is a holistic adherence to orthodox Christian beliefs, then I think the efficacy of those beliefs to produce biblical fidelity and address the sinful manifestations at the time also needs to be part of the discussion. In this case, I think MLK's beliefs, although heretical, were more effective at combating the dehumanization during his time.
Well done, brother. Thank you for this.
This explains a lot. Thanks for the enlightening video.
Thank you for informing us on this very important issue, and for standing up for the true teachings of the bible. There are so many things, beliefs, and affiliations that we must be willing to lay down so as to be a true follower of Christ.

What is sad is how the Evangelicals praise MLK jr as some great preacher and Christian. I think most Evangelicals have followed the social gospel which has nothing to do with Jesus Christ Lord and Savior. The road to destruction is wide and many will go the way of destruction. The road to salvation is narrow.

Wow. Great info. Feel like I just took a history class! Thank you for the information and high quality presentation.
He was a political man and Not a Godly man. He pleased man Not God.
Thank you for this video. Many people are completely unaware of his unfortunate unsound doctrines of Christianity and unbiblical understanding of the one true Gospel of Jesus Christ!
The social gospel (liberal theology) predominated in most if not all protestant churches in the US from the second half of the 19th century until at least the early 1970s. Liberal theology was an attempt to reconcile science - as it was then understood - with orthodox theology. It failed.
Thanks Virgil!
Excellent narration. Thanks
Thank you for this teaching brother. This was so informative but also sad in the fact that King was most likely not a true disciple of Christ Sadly the social justice gospel is still going strong today
It is the other side of the coin of the Prosperity Gospel.
I just love you Pastor, what a good man you are, I can just listen to you and know you love the Lord!
God bless Virgil Walker. God and good speed to you (2 John 11; Genesis 24.12)
An outstanding comprehensive critique.
This is very profound!
My Father met Dr King at a Civil Rights rally in 1963.
Thank you V. Walker for shedding light upon Dr King🙏
Then why did The Gospel Coalition split Evangelicalism by having MLK50 and endorsing him? Shameful.
Because TGC is largely a communist front group.

Excellent, ty.
Absolutely believe 🎉🎉 amen 🎉🎉
I'm a white European woman born in the US. This is so fascinating. I never connected with MLK as a teen, but wasn't sure why. I appreciate people who do good, inspire others and change the world. But, now, this explains my lack of connection with MLK. Great video.Thank you.

A most excellent observation.

Thank you Virgil!! Come quickly the REAL KING!!! KING JESUS!!!
Thank you for making this video.
"Don't judge people by their skin color but by the content of their character" is a double edged sword. Racism is indeed a sin that anyone can commit. However, since no one seeks for God (Romans 3L10-12) and our character comes directly from our hearts which are deceptively evil (Jeremiah 17: 9-10) we can't judge people by that either. No one's character seeks for God either. Only those whose character has been hijacked (in the best of ways) by the Holy Spirit can we judge and that's inside the Church. God judges those outside of the Chruch. 1 Corinthians 5: 13-13. We are to call everyone, everywhere to repentance like the Apostle Paul said. Acts 17:30. Do not follow the doctrines of men. Follow Scripture.
When you judge in the church judge rightly. And I do believe Paul taught to follow the doctrine of the Bible.
@@jameshines9330 Exactly what I said. Judge according to Scripture inside the Chruch not according to feelings or assumptions.
Denise, thank you. Your comment has given me something to really dwell on, in a good way of course.
"Racism" isn't a sin. Making distinctions based on race is basic pattern recognition that all intelligent people engage in. Hatred is a sin, but noticing racial differences and making decisions based on this differences is not inherently hateful
I have raised my children that only character counts and that man sees the outside of a person, but God sees the heart. But our hearts are deceitfully wicked above all things. So there is much balance to be found.
My people perish for a lack of knowledge… This is not the first time I heard of this even about his original name. It makes a lot of sense. I respect and appreciate the changes that may have come from this social justice adventure, however I have NEVER put any man above Christ… He has always held the first seat in my heart and mind. Good Content and Thanks for sharing TRUTH. Let’s start looking behind the veil…Amen 💯🫡🙌👏👏👊✌️

Wow! What an education I'm getting today! Sadly, most of us, blacks, will automatically dismiss this and angrily call this messenger as a sellout or Uncle Tom. Thank you, Sir, for enlightening us.
Your perspective is fair. Recognized the man’s accomplishments but also understand his world view. He had his role…
Dr. King's embrace of liberal heresy is certain and important to acknowledge.
However, just as Ben Franklin's unbelief and Thomas Jefferson's heretical beliefs do not negate their contributions to our nation's founding, King's serious theological errors do not negate his courage in leading nonviolent protests in order to help establish greater political equality in accordance with principles seen in the Declaration of Independence.
Sir, this is SO well said. THANK YOU!
This is distorting King's legacy to the max! I've read King's books, was aware of the accusations against King, but this man took every evil thing said about the man, and made a video about it!
King was a Christian, though an imperfect one!
@@hidden-treasures If he didn't believe in the truth about Jesus Christ how could he have been a christian? Did you watch the full video? And the contributions they made to society means nothing if they had no belief, they are in hell if they didn't repent and come to know the truth. The contributions they made to society has zero eternal value to them, they are temporary things in this temporary fallen world. I am not saying their contributions were not noble but in the long run what eternal purpose do they serve? The best thing you can receive is the tru gospel of Jesus Christ, the best thing and most important thing is to put all faith and trust in Jesus Christ. The point of the video is to highlight that he was not a true Christian despite his title as one and his contributions to society.
I have read King's books. He has not. I have listened to King's speeches. He has not. Just because someone speaks authoritatively does not mean they have any idea at all why they are talking about! Christianity Today rebuked John MacAuthor for his ignorant statements about King. But he speaks authoritatively, so people believe him.@@mckenziecolclough8547

Thank you sir
This information was eye-opening. speak the truth in love Ephesians 4:15
Nailed it, Virgil. It's a truth too sad to face for many. The good news, is nevertheless, true. Jesus died for us and for our salvation.

@@hidden-treasures You seemingly ignored the video! MLK denied orthodox views of the faith that are ESSENTIAL to believe! Please go back and re-watch. As for your comment and the scriptures, that you are quoting out of context, those NT passages refer to those in the church (brothers and sisters in Christ). That includes White AND Black saints of God. Jesus commands Christians to love their neighbor enough that when we see them in need, we do not shut-up our bowels of compassion (1 John 3:17), knowing that when we assist our brother or sister, to the best of our ability) in something that they need, we are doing it to Jesus (Matt 25:40). He also commands His followers to NOT be self seeking (Luke 9:23), and to work with your own hands (1 Thess 4:11). BUT, It is absolutely NOT referring to a system of government. All throughout scripture you see support of capitalism. Stop lying on God!
I believe you are Jewish, because you believe in Einstein's theories. You see, the video is deliberately deceptive, because it implies that believing in a man's legal theories, means you have taken on his religion! Which is ridiculous. Dr. King was a Christian, who used techniques of other Civil Rights activists. Is your Dentist a Nazi because he used prescriptions developed by Nazi doctors? BTW: I read King's books. They are Christian books! @@ptwevangelism

It’s finally coming out!
I’ve read an Easter sermon from MLK and it was no better, in terms of the Gospel, than a Joel Osteen sermon.
Joel Osteen is nowhere as heretical as MLK . Not even close
yes he is..., he is a puppet.. @@kevinevans8892
About 13 years ago, after I became a born-again Christian, I read through the Bible. I came across Jeremiah 33:3 and started asking God questions. One question I asked was, if Psalm 91 is true, why didn't You, Lord protect MLK from getting murdered when he did so much good? Some weeks later, a man who had been an activist and photographer with MLK walked into my office. Long story short, I asked him what MLK really believed about Jesus. He told me what brother Virgil is expounding in this content. Later I researched and confirmed what the activist had said.
While I don't challenge your story of whether MLK was a true Christian, because I don't know, I do challenge your premise that the reason God didn't protect him, was for that reason.
God DOES protect His people as long as HE still has a purpose for them (see Psalm 138:8)
But when God's purpose is fulfilled, even men of God die, and sometimes, it's by murder.
Example:
John the Baptist was absolutely God's man.
His purpose was to go before Messiah, proclaiming His coming.
He did that, and then ended up in prison where he was beheaded.
(Read Matthew 11 and 14)
But the bible also says "Precious in the the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints" (Psalm 116:15)
And
"The wicked are destroyed when calamity comes, but even in death, the righteous have a refuge (Proverbs 14:32)
And
"1The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away,
and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.
2Those who walk uprightly enter into peace;they find rest as they lie in death." (Isaiah 57:1-2)
The difference between Christians and non Christians, is not that Christians don't die, even in horrific ways. God DOES watch over Chrisitans and the day of our death is "precious" in sight. But when Christians dies, he enters into "rest" and is "with Christ." (Philippians 1:23) because God's purpose for him is fulfilled!
@@rolysantos Have you read Hebrews 11? Some were killed for their faith, but many were also delivered even from the mouths of lions by their faith. Jesus also said that He could have called upon legions of angels to deliver Him from the cross. Paul chose to be delivered from death many times until he was done with his mission and wanted to depart. Whether we live or die, may it be for Christ.
@@minerva9273
Yes, I’ve read Hebrews 11.
I did not say God does not deliver His people.
I said you cannot determine that because God did not deliver someone from a horrible death, it’s because they’re weren’t Christian
Notice, in Hebrews 11 it says “some were killed.”
See the point???
@@rolysantos I didn't say that at all. I just reported the sequence of events that stood out after I asked God my question. I'm sure you've read Psalm 91. My concern was my own doubt whether I could believe God for such a great promise if I trusted His Word. If I don't believe Jesus was raised from the dead, as MLK didn't, how could I apply my faith to believe in Psalm 91?
@@minerva9273
I hear you but the way your comment is worded it sounds like you concluded that the reason God did not deliver MLK from assassination is because he wasn’t truly Christian.
This belief, whether it was your intention or not, is not biblical.
As I pointed out, and as Hebrews 11 confirms, God Does deliver His people but sometimes He allows them to die, even at the hands of wicked men. But the death of His saints is precious in His sight.
Also, when we truly trust The Lord, we accept His will; whether He chooses to deliver us from impending death OR not!
Like the three Hebrew children who refused to bow to the statue built by Nebuchadnezzar
Who said
“ 17If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand.
18But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” Daniel 3
It’s the “But even if He does not” mentality that is the mark of true faith!
We trust The Lord, no matter what!!!!
Wow, I had no idea. Thank you.
God Bless you for your courage.
This was great! Another name people don’t talk about is Howard Thurman. This man’s philosophy was inculcated in a lot of King’s teachings.
I heard this a few years ago and found it hard to beieve not because of who he was but because I honestly thought he was a Bible believing follower of Christ.
Thank you.
Interesting and well stated argument.
About ten years ago I read about what he really believed. He masqueraded as a Baptist preacher.
He was a Baptist preacher. He didn't need to masquerade that. What he did masquerade was his faith in Jesus Christ. He was obviously not a true Christian.
@@kevinevans8892
A Baptist preacher preaches the Word of God. Obviously he did not do that. Therefore, he masqueraded as a Baptist preacher.
@@janepatton8100 William Branham was most definitely a Pentecostal yet he was a full fledged heretic. Yet I know of no one who questions his Pentecostalism. No matter how you wanna slice it, MLK was a Baptist. A heretical Baptist, but a Baptist nonetheless
He also was immoral, cheating on his wife constantly. That's all you need to know to give you an insight to the man. "He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, because we are members of His body." (Ephesians 5:33)
I guess the real shame is someone with such troubling theology still managed to do more than most for the civil rights movement.
I agree. As someone mentioned here, there were several prominent Christian theologians mentioned in the comments that owned slaves. Are they saying these "godly men" will not be held accountable for this practice if they never repented of this wickedness? Worse, some of them even used scripture to justify this practice. The Southern Baptist Convention was organized to protect and preserve slave ownership. Don't let me even get into the despicable and wicked behavior of the former president. I'm sure some of the people in the discussion here love hearing this about MLK but unfortunately defend Trump's behavior and turn a blind eye and deaf ear to it. Extremely troubling. May God have mercy on our nation.
