Arnold Murray (pastor)
Pastor Arnold Murray is a fundamentalist Christian American televangelist Bible-teacher, commonly associated with the racist white-supremacyist Christian Identity movement.
Murray preaches a chapter by chapter, verse by verse approach to teaching the Bible, and routinely excoriates "false preachers" who he claims know little of the Bible's wisdom.
Only on rare occasions does Murray comment on current events. His daily program consists of one hour Bible study, and one additional hour of questions via mail. He declines to answer questions about particular denominations within Christianity, and other religions, saying "lets just stick to studying God's word." Murray does however object to several conventions within various aspects of mainstream Christianity, such as the use of the term "reverend", which he says no one is entitled to.
Murray comes under considerable scrutint for his extremist views, which he terms right-wing. He is admired by the racist white-supremacist Christian Identity movement. He claims to disagree with racist views, and uses the terms "tribes" as a euphemism for "races". When he refers to a "tribe of Cain", for example, his wording is ambiguous as to whether he means 'murderers all belong to Cain's tribe', or 'such a tribe, decended from Cain, is predispositioned to murder.'
