So your answer is no, not always, sometimes yes. Do I understand you correctly?
If it's something that is confirming to something that I've already looked at before, then I probably will not go back again to confirm. At least not until someone comes along to tell me I'm viewing it wrong, then I will go and check why they may disagree?

Yes. I agree. We try to live our life the way He would be happy to see, yet we still have to make our own decisions. This is why I fall back on the bible as reference; to when I'm not sure which path to take and am not feeling an answer is being given. I sort of say it's like my life's owner's manual. Oh and fyi, my wife calls those moments we mess up as a Jesus slap to the head as a reminder lol

Hopefully the Jesus slap comes before the wife slap!

I have no problem to listen to anyone for their perspective, but give me something specific for me to listen to first. If his message is one you have espoused on here though don't expect me to change my mind. It is going to take a lot for me to change my mind on "why" Jesus was sent to earth for starters

I don’t really see any good reason to listen to a racist, spew his propaganda, and pretend he’s a Christian.

“He is best known for his advocacy of black theology and black liberation theology. His 1969 book Black Theology and Black Powerprovided a new way to comprehensively define the distinctiveness of theology in the black church.[17] His message was that Black Power defined as black people asserting the humanity that white supremacy denied, was the gospel in America. Jesus came to liberate the oppressed, advocating the same thing as Black Power. He argued that white American churches preached a gospel based on white supremacy, antithetical to the gospel of Jesus.”
