Is it true that the Ku Klux Klan are/were Christians?

Question

if so, why would some Christians do that? do they follow any scripture of the Bible to practice their rituals and stuff?

is it true that KKK means 666?

share your thoughts

Answer 1

yes they are and people claimed Islam=terrorism when most Muslims live peacefully

Answer 2

The Klan were never Christian. One of the most important commandments that Christ gave was love your neighbor as you love yourself.

How can you love yourself when you are killing and burning crosses? They used the Christian religion as a cover up for their cruel and evil ways in order to feel justified for their actions.  

Answer 3

KKK is just another Cult!

Answer 4

Christ preached forgiveness.  Always remember that when comparing any group to being Christians.

Answer 5

Yes Protestant Christians..........

Protestant hate is entrenched in this country just look at Chris & Lion of Judah

The ONLY point of unity of the Protestant churches is in their hatred of the Catholic Church. Unity in hate

Answer 6

Yes. It is the sound of the rifle being loaded. This was the pirates organisation.

Answer 7

I am not up on all there history, but I have it said that the KKK are christians. However, no true Christian would behave in the manner in which these individuals behaved and they most certainly would not have had God's seal of approval upon there vile acts.

As for the number 666, I have no idea.  

Answer 8

It takes more than being seen at church to be Christian. If they are behind things like the KKK, they simply aren't reading their bible.

Answer 9

Yes, the Ku Klux Klan consider themselves to be Christian.  Whether they actually behave as Christians is obviously debatable.

Answer 10

I'm from Italy, so I much to learn about America, but my room mate said Ku Klux Klan men burn crosses on people's lawns. Sadly, I say that I've seen Christians do many evil things in several countries in which I've lived. Some of them are self-righteous hypocrites and believe they're right whatever they do. I'm sure some people can distort Bible verses to justify anything they do. KKK isn't 666 by any stretch of the imagination. K is the eleventh letter in the Roman alphabet. Three K's are 33, not 666. Nero is symbolized by 666.

Answer 11

Living in the South, I know a few things about the Klan. They claim to be Christians and they base their reasoning on the "mixing of races" not only racially,  but religiously. Here in the South, they don't like Catholics.  

Answer 12

Christinaity is an evil religion,,Don't you find It interesting the jesus,was white,and male.I honestly don't understand why blacks are Christian.Especially the women.

Answer 13

I the same sense that Hitler did.

When I was in Alabama, I came across a KKK group called the "White Knights" by accident - I used to be involved with an exhibition military drill team that went by the same name.

I learned that they twist many many scriptures to come up with their viewpoints.  They don't come close to believing the Bible for what it says as it stands in the context.  For instance, there are figurative passages that compare savage armies to "brute beasts" ect...  They take these literally to say that people of other races are just animals.

The Bible is clear on these matters:

Romans 12:18

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

The KKK is in direct violation of multiple clear and plain scriptures.  The fact that they call themselves Christian bears to weight in the issue.  Jim Jones said he was a Christian.  Whoopty-doo!

Answer 14

Yes they did claim to be christians... so do a lot of people that do wrong unfortunately... people can be christians and sin... there are backsliders as well... The people that attacked us on 9/11 were of Islam.. so let that show you that people with religion ANY religion can go psycho--- they think they are hearing from god when they probably are not.

Answer 15

yes, KKK members are christians and many of them are practising.  

Answer 16

Just another way to exploit and discriminate against others using the name of God.  Used as an excuse for their deplorable behavior.  I have no idea on the relation of kkk to the numbers.  Love one another...God Bless

Answer 17

They are false christians, like the fundies.

Answer 18

Christians have respect for the cross and would never burn it.  Scripture says Jesus gave us 2 commands, love God and love each other.  That gives no allowance for hatred, which racism is.    

Galatians 3:28

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

We will know them by their fruits.  KKK are not Christians.  

Answer 19

Ku Klux Klan is the name of a group of secret terrorists.

KKK is not = 666

Answer 20

just another example of evil in christianity!

Answer 21

They are fundamental southern christians.  The bible is a racially intolerant book, and they used the passages they needed to support their world view.  All chrisitians still do this, but thankfully most sect's world view has evolved a bit, from the biblical time of racial mistrust.

Answer 22

Yes, but they were not very good Christians.

There're many things wrong with Christianity, but racism is not one of them.

"How many crosses do those guys have to burn before Christians admit that they are indeed Christians."

I'd say that BURNING a cross is a pretty good way to assert you're NOT a Christian.

I mean, if you burn the stars & stripes, most people'd say you probably hate the USA.

Answer 23

They claim to be Christians and so did Hitler.  Actions speak louder than words.

Just more people killing under the guise of a religion.

Answer 24

Yes, specifically Protestant.  Yes they use bible scriptures on slavery and others to "justify" their actions.

No, the KKK does not mean 666.  

Answer 25

Yes, if you were to trace your families history back far enough there might have been a family member who was a devout Christian that was part of the Klan.

The reason I am telling you this is my ex-wife did a Genealogy on her family and on her Dad's side she found out that his Grandfather was a Baptist minister who was a Klan member and his friends who were prominent business men in a little town in Iowa would burn crosses on a hillside.

If you go back to the 30's 40's and even the 50's you will find that many members met in caves for national conventions too.

My ex wife had her Great Grandmas history book from School that taught the black race was inferior to the white race.

Answer 26

anyone who has that much hate in their hearts towards another race of people left no room for Jesus to live there.

Answer 27

They claim to be Christians.  They are actually protestants who are ultra rightist.  They hate blacks, Jews and Catholics.  

Answer 28

The Ku Klux Klan claimed to be Christian but in public, so did Hitler. That does ont mean they were Christian. I am Jewish, not Christian but I understand the concept of Christianity and the KKK said it, but didn't act it. I am Jewish but can call myself a Hindu if I want. That does not mean I have the concept of Hinduism.

I think the KKK didn't follow any Christian concepts and probably didn't understand them. Their motivator was hate and they hid beyind a perverted sense of religion to fulfill their creed of hate and destruction.

666 does not mean the KKK. It actually stood for Nero, not an "anti-Christ"

Answer 29

Christian or not...they all need to be "done away with"...they aren't wanted

Rascist morons have no place in the world

Yes, I have strong feelings on these "people"

Answer 30

I dunno look it up because it seems to me that you have been told a load of sh*t from some one  

Answer 31

How many crosses do those guys have to burn before Christians admit that they are indeed Christians.
