To be fair, in this clip from a sermon preached by Mark Duke to the Dukites, he does say he had "so admired Dr. King as a civil rights leader." But, Duke couldn't stop there - no, he has to point out just how bad Dr. King was. Duke went on to preach that he "so disrespected him as a Baptist minister."
Duke claims again that Dr. King wasn't preaching spiritual rights because King wasn't living it. And in Duke's and the Dukite's eyes that is vital because spiritual rights are so important - "we don't need a civil rights movement, we need a spiritual rights movement." is what Duke preaches.
Since Duke and the Dukites put such stock in their spiritual rights movement and it is Duke who has been called by God to restore the Church and bring the spiritual rights movement - even to the point of giving their "blood on the bridge again," why would the House of God and the Freedom Foundation be honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?
Seems to me that would be offensive to God. What blatant hypocisy!
There are some other little tidbits in this clip...
Duke makes the statement "either it's the whole truth or not, you can't compromise on one thing and be strong in another..." Sounds good, but to borrow a dukism; they ain't living it!
Duke seems especially fond of using Jeremiah 23, or at least some derivation of it. (Jer 23:11 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.(KJV)) In my opinion he ought to find a mirror and keep reading - particularly verses 12-15.
The end is best - but he says it wrong... it should be, they've been DUKED, that's what the Devil did, he DUKED them!
