When you have personal real evidence of your faith that is identical to the same experiences of those things written and recorded in Scripture and corroborated by the historical record you're not moved by other scientific or debatable historical information; especially with those who didn't do the actual research to see if the information they chose to believe is accurate. They'll challenge you with their information but they will never challenge their own information as to whether or not they believe a lie. The Bible is not a science or history book but contains both science and history that can be proven, and has stood the test of time. All of the challenges that you are seeing to your faith the Scriptures already spoke of them long ago in prophecy, which is history told in advance. This is where other accounts come up short by far in comparison.
ROMANS 1:19-22; "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools."
JUDE 1:10; "But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves."
When the Scriptures become a living part of your experiences that validate your faith you don't have to prove anything to anybody as to why you believe because YAH has already proven himself to you by his word. People without faith who reject it will never have those experiences, and because of their unbelief will always be quick to disbelieve the truth for a lie that deceives them. You can't believe in God based on just science or history, but you must have faith. God defies the wisdom and understanding of mankind, and cannot be disproved nor confined by science or man's inaccurate ability to record history.
HEBREWS 11:6; "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
1st CORINTHIANS 1:27; "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty."
The apostles of Yeshua Messiah believed in him because they had evidence of what he said as the truth including his resurrection. When they witnessed of these things to others who by faith also believed them then they too received the same evidence as the apostles by receiving the very promises that Christ made and fulfilled to them in the Scriptures. The same thing still happens today, and just like then the truth is always challenged by those who don't and won't believe. Keep your faith in Almighty God through Yeshua the Messiah and don't be swayed by those who don't have the faith yet seek to turn you from yours.
1st TIMOTHY 6:20-21; "O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21) Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen." #BABBLINGS #FOOLISH #OPPOSITIONS #HISTORY #SCIENCE
1st TIMOTHY 1:4; "Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do." #FABLES
2nd TIMOTHY 4:3-4; "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4) And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." #TRUTH

As for the question of Christianity being an appropriate or true religion for Black People, you will see a lot of very negative things posted to try and sway you from it for something else such as Islam, Kemetic Science (the religion and philosophy of ancient Egypt), Hebrew Israelite dogma, and others to include even atheism. The comedian "Chris Rock" was quoted as having said, "A Black Christian is like a Black person with no memory." To that many said in support and agreement that he was telling it like it is, but in truth he's telling it like it isn't because he doesn't know the true history of Christianity or the Holy Scriptures. The first Christians were Black & Brown skinned people.
The entire religion and it's scriptures are centered around a dark skinned Hebrew man of the tribe of Judah named Yeshua Moschiach (Jesus Christ) who was the Almighty God incarnate come into the world to save mankind from the curse of sin which is eternal death. This is why it isn't good to let celebrities be the source of your information or champions of truth. Half the time they are only heard because they have the spotlight, but they don't truly have "light". No matter how many times the plain truth is told many will not believe it because of a hardened heart of unbelief and for so long of buying into anything "anti-Christian" in trying to reconnect with their lost black heritage and ancestry. They become slaves to other false systems trying to find the truth that is right before them.

JOHN 12:39-40; "Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 40) He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them."
HEBREWS 3:12-14; "Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13) But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14) For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end." #UNBELIEF
Christianity is an Afro-Asiatic religion for all mankind in its origin. Roman Catholicism (paganism) and its offshoots are what is European and was taught to the slaves which is why the slaves weren't allowed to read so they couldn't discover the truth for themselves until well after their masters had conditioned and programmed them to believe a false doctrine. It is still a lot of what you see in primarily Western/European styled congregations of all ethnic groups today even down to the ceremonialism and structure. Every major religion given to the world was given through Black & Brown people so not one of them is "the white man's religion". Europe historically steals religions, history, and adapts cultures to try making them their own. Many who rail against it just don't do enough research to actually know the truth they claim to know, and condemn the truth they don't know while disowning a part of their heritage in the process.
Take the attacks against Christianity as the "white man's religion" for an example. Many have now been so conditioned by that lie they don't even bother to research it and just willingly accept anything that looks remotely more Afrocentric in appearance or presentation when Christianity itself originated in the same area as Judaism, Islam, Kemetic Science, and in close proximity to Hinduism and Buddhism as well from Afro-Asiatic people. Yeah, "masta" psychologically and spiritually messed us Black folks up all kinds of ways and now uses your own supposed newly awakened consciousness against you to where you're still in the dark and don't know what you think you know and are just going in circles. All this supposed "awakening" or liberation but we're still clearly in natural, spiritual, and mental bondage. True faith in Yah through Christ is liberation and not bondage, but it starts spiritually by stepping out of the darkness of deception and into the light of truth. ~ I.J. West
JOHN 8:12; "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." #LIGHT #LIFE #YESHUA
It's funny to me as a Christian that Yah did all that he did to get his people out of Egypt by a mighty hand and today you see more Egyptian pictures and symbolism being posted and promoted by Black people than any other yet we wonder why we're still in bondage, and got the nerve to call each other "kings & queens" but still believe like slaves. You can't be free and come out of the wilderness into the "Promised Land" if you are still stuck in Egyptian Bondage. We're in a physical European/American bondage, and a spiritual Egyptian bondage condemning the very thing The Most High gave to get us out of both for lies in the name of other religions that are false and have been just as damaging as our enslavement. #EGYPT #BONDAGE
ReplyDeleteWe condemn the truth and call it a lie, and accept the lies calling them the truth. ISAIAH 5:20-21; "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21) Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!" We're too wise in our own eyes to see how dumb and lost we really are in our "identity displacement". A person can find whatever they set themselves to look for, but real truth is colorblind and must be allowed to color itself in. The problem is most folks already believe a predisposed bias and go searching for truth with their own color of magic marker and crayons in hand. That makes their research a lie before they even get started.
It is truly interesting to note how much of the early biblical narrative is spent on getting Yah's chosen people out of Egypt, but folks want to believe in African paganism in the form of Kemetic Science that teaches self worship and idolatry which are soundly condemned by Scripture in both the Bible and the Koran. Islam was actually created by the Roman Catholic church to uproot the true Christians and remaining Jews in Middle East Asia and Northern Africa to control the Holy Land. The Vatican sought to recruit the most charismatic Arab Bedouin leader they could find of which they did in the person of Muhammad. He was to raise up an army secretly loyal to them and financed by Rome as it's puppet, but Muhammad rebelled. #ISLAM #CATHOLIC
The plan backfired like the Frankenstein monster did against Dr. Frankenstein, and the Crusades would later come as a result of it under the false pretense of "holy war". This is actually a known thing kept on the hush by the Vatican, and former priest/Jesuits know it well. The ties between Rome and Mecca are stronger than most folks know, and certain aspects of Islam mirrors Catholicism in doctrine and practice. This is not a coincidence but a direct connection. The Trans-Saharan slave trade by Muslim slavers also killed and enslaved more Black Africans than the European Trans-Atlantic slave trade, but this is overlooked and not often discussed as an accurate point in true history. It is considered a "lie of the white man" by those who can't accept it. ~ I.J. West
We can be proud of any culture that contributed to civilization such as Egypt and other Afro-Asiatic civilizations, but don't repeat or promote their flaws, errors, and idolatry as part of our heritage. I celebrate their great achievements too because it has impacted the world, but all things must be put in their proper place so we don't repeat their mistakes.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the romanticized idea of ancient "Kemet" (Egypt), sometimes what was "first" is what was "worst". Black folks are being deceived by an African fantasy that was a perversion of spirituality and science in the eyes of Yah. It was a deviation from the original heavenly divine plan, but The Most High puts more stock in 2nd things which represents redemption that is necessary to recover humanity after the 1st things have failed and put us in a sinful state of separation from The Almighty. Before there was Kemet there was the Earth and the Heavens, and spiritual beings who transgressed against the creator and lost their former place. Before Kemet on the Earth there was also Babel which is known as Babylon, and there was also Kush which is known as Ethiopia. Kemet wasn't as original as some think but was full of their fallen and forbidden knowledge as well as the God given genius of man.
ReplyDeleteGod Almighty had to separate a people who would follow him from those who would only choose to continually fall further away from him in rebellion. They learned the science and wisdom of the ancient world, but He destroyed the power of every ancient false demonic god of Egypt with an exercise of his power in each of the 10 plagues that targeted one of their major deities. Even the mighty Kushites from whom Kemet took much of their innovations departed from the ways of ancient Egypt. Returning back to Kemet is returning back into idolatry and spiritual bondage to devilish spirits and influences trying to worship dead ancestors. That's what the Roman Catholic church does in what they call praying to their "saints" which is an amalgamation of ancient pagan idolatry from both Europe and Africa.
Kemet/Egypt isn't black liberation, knowledge of self, or any of those things. It is slavery of a different kind to a different oppressor from which God Almighty himself has already intervened once to get people delivered from. ~ I.J. West
Not sure many supporting Kemetic Science understand what they are doing. I am in conjunction with your thoughts concerning this but "Tradition" is leading most to continue promoting Kemetic Science just as "Tradition" in the Church has misled many Christians. Most don't promote Egyptian theology but rather the Kingship of the Asiatic. Wordly tradition do as much damage as Christian traditions.
