Jürgen Moltmann lists four differences between Jesus of Nazareth and John the Baptist in the Way of Jesus Christ p. 89
#1. In the way they proclaimed the kingdom of god.

JOHN: A judgement of wrath on this unrepentant generation.

JESUS: A previent grace to the poor and sinners.
#2. Where they did their prophetic work:

JOHN: left the civilized world and went to live in the desert.

JESUS: left the desert and went to the busy villages of Galilee
#3. What they ate and drank:

JOHN: an ascetic that lived on a starvation diet from what the desert provided.

JESUS: a 'glutton and a drunkard' that ate bread and wine with the poor and sinners of people.
#4 On baptism:

JOHN: baptized for repentance

JESUS: did not baptize anyone but he forgave many sinners.

A thread on #Moltmann and @SpaceForceDoD: In 1989, Jürgen Moltmann prophetically announced that the advent of the nuclear age heralded the impending end of humanity and all life on earth. (The Way of Jesus Christ)
At that time Moltmann lamented that "It has been calculated that more than 50% of scientific intelligence and technical resources is at the disposal of the military and industrial complexes of the highly industrialized countries of the First World, for 'security' purposes."
A nationalist race for global domination has begun through the stockpiling of nuclear weapons that allowed nations to deter all other nations.

Strong #moltmann vibes in this meme!
Where was god in the lynching of #GeorgeFlyod? Moltmann would answer, that Jesus was there suffering with George Flyod, calling out "I can't breathe" and "mom, I"m scared" with him.
Jesus most likely died from asphyxiation, because crucifixion causes the victim to suffocate slowly. And Jesus called out with his last breathe, my god, my god, why have you forsaken me?

James H. Cone argues that Black Liberation Theology developed independently from Liberation Theology in his book "For My People: Black Theology and the Black Church. Where have we been and where are we going."
James H. Cone studied Karl Barth and did his doctoral dissertation on Karl Barth's theology. Cone went on to develop Black Liberation Theology.
Cone argues that the seminaries and theological academia was entrenched in white supremacy, which had been a mechanism for keeping blacks surpressed in a long history from the American slave trade.
