Similarly, as Christians and black people, we do not need to try and seek a new expression of our religion but to deepen our existing faith and learn more. Africans were certainly meant to be Christians. The oldest Christian churches are still found in Africa. The Copts were African Christians and they have lived for nearly 2000 years as such. Should they be denied? We need to learn our true history. It is restorative.

Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

One more time for the record the lord came for one thing and one thing only”For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”Luke 19:10

We really do have some house cleaning to take care of, first. The scriptures teach that God will judge nations (that’s from the word ethnos, not nation states as we know it).

Those resources we’re seeding into another group could be just as well seeded in our own congregations. Not that the body of Christ shouldn’t join together, though.

Jesus sent the Jewish disciples to the lost sheep of Israel first. In fact, he commanded them, “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans; Go rather to the lost sheep of… .Matt. 10:5

Here’s a practical example: Isaiah 18:25 says, “Blessed be Egypt my people…” But if you listen to the average European preacher you would think that everything about Egypt is negative. GOD CALLS EGYPT HIS PEOPLE!

I have more to say on that, but it would tap into my book. But for the discerning, study the word Amen more deeply. In it is the answer to our religious connection with the Hebrews.

I will be doing a post on this whole issue in the near future. I think that this is an important move before this comment string goes into an unknown and uncontrollable direction. So I will be holding any additional comments for now.

2 Peter :1-3

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not

Just so that I am clear, no I am not saying that ALL Muslims are okay with terrorism. That would be a false statement. What I am saying is that in many (I mean MANY) pockets overseas, terrorising those that do not submit to Islam has become a form of policy.

We have some things such as drug addiction, low self esteem, lack of accountability to resolve before we can begin to co- worship on any large scale.

Can you support that with scipture? An arm cannot self heal. You need all the healing properties the body has to offer.

so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. (Romans 12:5)

So do we just omit this scripture and others like it in the case of “the black predicament?”

For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.”

King James version Romans 10:1-2

Paul’s people the Jews were ruled by the Romans, justice and equality were not more important then there relationship with God to him. He gave is hole life for the cause Christ.

What we need more than justice and equality is to know Jesus as lord and savor.

Justice and equality is a good thing and we should work hard to make it happen.

But all the money and freedom in world dose not mean any thing in eternity.

“For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”

King James version Matthew 16:26

Too many of our people really don’t espouse that mantra, however. (I’ll get to the multiracial churches in a moment.) They have a preconceived idea about how the liberation movement is supposed to take place. Like the Jews who thought Jesus would appear on a stallion as a great liberator, against the Romans. Instead, he came as a messiah of peace, teaching spiritual liberation which would inherently manifest in physical liberation.

Like the Jews of old, we’re focused, as a culture, on a myriad of avenues, purportedly, to advance liberation. But a spiritual changing of the heart is what is necessary.

Now, the crux to your post; Blacks attended White-run churches from this country’s inception. But we left to start our own because of institutional racism, in America.

My church, here in Minnesota, is quite integrated, but yes in most of the South and the rust-belt states, segregated churches prevail.

Meanwhile, in order for us to join together nationally with Whites, in the church, we’ll have to like Jeremiah 1:10 … uproot and tear down,” in order “to build and to plant.”

Study the Word Amen — and where it really derives from, and you’ll understand the solution to the Judeo-Christian-Muslim triad — and American racism. Hotep
