Al Sharpton Talks About ‘Fake Christians’ — Rick Santorum, Rev. Franklin Graham

While Christians, at least according to the holy book they embrace, are commanded to help those in need, they are also commanded to share their faith. Take, for instance, Matthew 28:16-20, which reads:

Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Regardless of whether one believes Biblical doctrines, Sharpton’s take on the matter — that one doesn’t need “to talk about it” does seem to run somewhat contrary to Christianity’s central tenets. Additionally, his definition of healing and helping people is starkly different some others who may embrace more right-leaning ideologies.
While Graham spoke about being able to discern Christians’ faith from both their stated words and actions, Sharpton seems more concerned with seeing actions and allowing them to showcase, on their own, one’s faith. This is by no means a defense of Graham’s comments about Obama and the other presidential contenders, but it is necessary to differentiate the areas of focus that each individual pinpoints when defining Christianity.
“I think you have to ask President Obama…I think people have to ask Barack Obama — he‘s come out saying he’s a Christian. So, I think the question is ‘What is a Christian?,’” Graham said when asked about Obama’s faith yesterday.
It is this question — “What is a Christian?” — that seems to starkly divide people like Graham and Sharpton.
