A slave and a slave master CAN NOT pray to the same god. -John Henrik Clarke Christianity is a far bigger shackle than slavery ever was.

[@Esoteric.Autochthon]

Along with Islam, Judaism and every other religion.

[@MinistryB4Industry]

That's a lie from the pit of hell. The slave masters were NOT following scripture. They twisted scripture, and lied to keep people enslaved. The bible, in the Book of Numbers expressly condemns the kidnapping of people and sellin them into slavery. In fact the Bible says that people who do that, should be put to death . That's how God feels about it. This is why slaves weren't allowed to read and write. Because they would actually find out what the Bible says. And they would have known the wicked slave masters we're lying to them the whole time. Christianity itself has never enslaved people, it liberated people. Only the evil people who were in control, chose to enslaved people. That's not the Bible's fault, and it certainly isn't Jesus's fault. And no I'm not talking about the white jesus either, any student of the Bible knows, that Jesus was not white blonde hair with blue eyes. That's old news to us

I'm not talking about watching a few KZbin videos either. Im talking REAL research long before there was an internet, or KZbin. There's more historical evidence that proves the Jesus of the Bible existed, then there is to prove Julius Caesar, or any other ancient historical figure ever existed. FACTS!!!. And people may have killed in the name of Christianity in the past, but they certainly were not following the teachings of Jesus , and they were not Christians. People can call themselves anything. Now Islam? Yes, Muhammad was a mass killer and Islam was spread by the sword. But NOT Christianity, so don't even try it. You've been watching way too many KZbin videos. Christianity is not about religion, it's about relationship with God through Christ the risen savior. This is not even up for debate bruh. I've spent the majority of my life studying this stuff, so you best quit while you're not ahead.

The slaves where forced to pray. The Master convinced the slaves that their god is right. They forced them to change their names as well. In order to keep slaves in check they brainwashed the slaves to see their god as #1 one. 400 plus years later we still haven't found our way back to reality. Reason we fail because deep down we lost. Dont have tradition, culture, religion and last names. Thanksgiving we eat slave food: corn bread, collard greens, mac and cheese these items are left overs they fed to slaves but we make it great but never changed. Tradition: isn't ours its what they trained us to do. A black family and white family mirror each other just we have more life more excitement but better have your folk and knife. Ummm but every other minority eats with thier hands and have a more appreciation for their food better connection? White washed as a slave till this day. Culture: Slave culture mixed with how the Master has trained us. Kept last names. Lol Religion: well no need to explain we didn't pray to jesus before slavery but forced beat until we prayed and believed the mastered god will save us. Reason I tell people to be self educate then gain the experience In order to speak with wisdom and understanding.

[@DoggieNYC]

It was always Christianities goal to spread the gospel and make people, slaves or otherwise, conform to 1 god. Its known as monotheism. Its what monotheist religions do. Before the Romans became Christians, when they were polytheists, they didn't care what religion you were So when . Neither did the Greeks or the Aztecs for that matter. They took over another city state or empire and you could keep your god/gods, your religion they didn't care. As long as you did what they said you could go and worship whoever you wanted. Only after christinity spread did it become an issue to be anything other than christian. And for the most part we are still living in a christian society. If you r not a christian your a sinner and must be converted.

[@paultrought267]

@Beast Mode That was Beautiful.

[@biaccagreen7157]

Beast Mode please don’t jump down my throat but I have a question, so much of everyone’s opinions on God and the Bible seem to cross the same line. Yess everything you said was correct, but the Masters were manipulators they lied they told bits and pieces of the Bible and kept the slaves uneducated, why is the Bible blamed for what the white man did. They used that lie about the cursed tribe of Ham when I thought we were the original people, and also is t the Bible the same book that said Jesus was a black man hair of wool skin of bronze, hell if that’s not a black man I don’t know what is. What do you think am I wrong, I have my own personal relationship with the lord, not because I read it in a book, it was that way once when I was a child, but as an adult. Now I honestly had to come back I agree with you on the food issue, the chitterlings and all that kind of stuff. I stopped eating that mess years ago again not because someone influenced me but because I saw for myself how disgusting it was to o clean them and then the reality that I have basically been eating tubes full of caca, just didn’t sit well with me. I’m glad when I was younger I started my own traditions, and you know what else that is why so many black people feel they have to have bling this and bling that, they feel like they lost out on something, or better yet they are trying to play catch up not realizing that are really digging a hole for themselves.

[@rarespecies83]

I used to feel the same way as Aries but I realized God is like a parent and we're his kids.. if you go to your parent and tell them that you're being bullied, as parent your first reaction is to fuck the bully up. But, if your kid doesn't learn to handle it themselves they'll always be looking for a bail out and will become weak as a people

[@sonofaangel1]

You're right! We are God's children. A parent would only ALLOW there children to be punished if there children were bad and not following the parents rules.

Peace. With all due respect, that's complete non-sense. Spirit is the sub-stance of existence on the sub-atomic plane manifested in, thru or as material reality (anatomical). Anything else is spookism, illusion and/or pseudo science. Spirit (breath of Life) is energy vibrating or moving in a spiraling formation, clockwise is considered as ascending energy (9) and counter clockwise is considered as descending energy (6)...relatively speaking. Everything is connected to everything (holistic), the only difference is the vibratory rate or frequency in which things are expressed on or as...there is no separation, separation is a Eurocentric ideology/concept.

[@KingIzKash]

My foundation isn't any of the above mentioned ideologies which are Eurocentric ideologies of compartmentalization. I base it on the ancient Sacred Science(s) of Original People which is holistic. Everything is everything. You are your parents, they are their parents and so on and so on. That is Truth and can be readily proven. That doesn't need philosophical debate or in depth scientific studies to come to that conclusion...its basic common sense. Spirit is no different from matter except in vibrational rates, relatively speaking. Gas is Liquid and Liquid is Solid...simple!

400 years to God could be the equivalent to a few days for us here in our mortal understanding of time. We were being punished for our disobedience that's why we were in chains. When bad things happen to the innocent it's not God's fault. Its mans. Either for not properly serving the Lord and following his laws and commandments or parents not spiritually safeguarding their children by praying over them and serving the Lord with all their hearts. Too often we look for God to just do everything for us but we do NOTHING for Him. The greatest gift we have been giving is life with the opportunity to obtain eternal life with the creator in the afterlife. The devil is the Father of lies. Religion is a device. People are ignorant as to how to serve The Most High.

[@LawlessLIVE]

@Suave JAE It is not a matter of religion. Simply put. If you get caught up in "labels" or in this case religions, you will be limited to such. Take Islam for example, The Prophet Muhammad received the Quran, divine insight and instruction from the angel Jibril (or Gabriel). The same angel who brought news of Yeshua's birth as well as gave Daniel messages. This goes to show you that religion is irrelevant to The Most High. He deals with whom he pleases. The Most High could never be constricted or boxed into any religion created by man. He is above all of that.
