Absolutely! Because these conversations have evolved. And much of what came out in these discussions will come up again. But there is so much more to discuss.

[@elijahirvin5911]

The number one problem in the church is we must get the church together first then build strong families talk about sex talk about the role of the husband and the family talk about the role of wife and the family.

They don't qualify nor can they relate to our inequalities, injustice and continued enslavements into currently 2025. . . . .

JOHN 8:7b > IT IS WRITTEN, "He or She that is WITHOUT SIN among u, Let HIM or HER CAST THE FIRST STONE". Meaning, IF Ms. Hampton has NOTHING IN YOUR LIFE that GOD or JESUS CHRIST DOES NOT DISAPPROVE OF then Ms. Hampton can THROW THE FIRST & YOU may cry loud & spare not. Amen. I commend all that PASSES JUDGMENT & Criticism of others that THEY read 1st. Cor. 10:12. IF You THINK You are so STRONG. "Be careful that YOU DO NOT be over come by Temptations & Fault Finding. "I AM NOT DEFENDING BISHOP EDDIE L. LONG". I AM STANDING STRONG ON THE WORD OF GOD. (King Saul was in the cave relieving himself & David's men tried to tempt David to harm King Saul. David refused to harm to King Saul. God TOLD Laban "DO NOT SAY ANYTHING GOOD OR BAD). It is therefore also written "SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES". Ms. Hampton, I RECOMMEND YOU to "Weep & repent" before YOU FIND YOURSELF in the JUDGMENT of God's Wrath. Amen. With love & kindness do I recommend that Ms. Caroline Hampton EXAMINE HER OWN SELF, in Jesus Name. Amen. Signed, Someone That Cares

This was taped at New Birth Cathedral which was a brand new building . it even smelled new ! I think Coretta Scott King died this same year or in 2006. Left Eye of TLC had her homegoing service here in 2003 . New Birth was in Lithonia but the city has switched names and municipality . its Woodrow Ga now .

Well, scholars, don’t holla! I know! God gave real women like her the leverage to empower lil women like me to respond! Adam of the Book of Genesis said a woman is bone of his bones! The Pharaohs called us Queens of the Nile where Moses was drawn with grace and mercy, the prophets feared us a an evil Spirt, but Jesus exalted us as the mother of pearls, but it was God who commanded the earth to help us! It is the Church who extols us as a good thing, and redeemable by faith! Why, cause God knows what is a woman fa sho! Peace, scholars! Forward James! Copyrights by TELawrence (all rights reserved)!
