Try to read coran you Will not regret it Surah Al-Ikhlas In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. Say, “He is God, the One. 2. God, the Absolute. 3. He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4. And there is nothing comparable to Him.” This is a clear statement by God describing Himself to humanity without any room for confusion. God is One and is exalted above everything He creates. This chapter of the Quran is about the oneness of God. The concept of God has been presented here in its purest form, ridding it of all polluting associations which people of every age have brought to it. There is no plurality of gods. There is only one God. All are dependent upon Him, but He is not dependent on anybody. He Himself has power over everything. He is far above being the progeny of anybody or having any offspring. He is such a unique being that there is nobody like Him or equal to Him in any manner whatsoever. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5_JqHaDpKaMeMk

@@nanabediako2980 so if the African gods were stolen from us that logically presents a problem. How can a flesh and blood whiteman remove a powerful spirit from the hearts and minds of a people? Means those gods must have not been that powerful after all right? Jesus Christ endures because he is the truth. Your African gods couldn’t stand up against some poorly equipped red necks while Jesus Christ ultimately conquered the entire Roman Empire without violence? Explain that for me? Next question if the African Gods were so powerful and even existed why did they sit back and let the slavers arrive and take Africans from their continent? Why didn’t they cause the slave ships to sink from storms? Why didn’t they cause the animals to savagely attack their slave expeditions traveling to the African interior?

As I become more aware and conscious, I have developed a growing urge to learn more about my origins and it’s relationship to spirituality and divinity. I have taken it upon myself to become educated and search for my truth.

Maaaan, I couldn't have said it any better. I have been trying to figure out how to explain or put into words my spiritual journey recently. The more I read or listen to the Bible and put some real thought into it & religion, particularly Christianity, the more I feel like something is not right. There's a lot that doesn't make sense. There's something they're not telling us. Something they don't want us to know. The more I feel deceived and manipulated. Perhaps there's a lot they don't know but instead of saying they don't know they just made up some stuff to fill in the blanks. All of this leads me to want to know what was the religion, beliefs, traditions, culture, language and even diet of my people before the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.

💯 same here!

[@realdealholyfield-dx3bf]

I responded because I would like to reply about your comment about finding your own truth and ask, what good is that pursuit in your opinion if it does not lead to a proper faith and worship of God? Would you rather still choose an ancestral tradition or what is comfortable to you over what is true? History reveals what this looks like when we desire to establish our own faith and worship without proper knowledge of the Divine. From the OT times to the 20th century God has shown us we cannot do this and desires us to repent for having done so as the scripture tells us, ("Men of Athens i preceive you are very religious. For I passed along and observed the objects of your worship I found also an altar with the inscription, 'to the unknown God', What therefore you worship as unknown this i proclaim to you."). & ("the times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent because He has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead."). Though I agree God has made all men everywhere able to seek Him... ("That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:") ...and acknowledge God exists without knowing the Bible or being a 'Christian' or the practice of spiritualism...( "By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God so what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.") .... (" For His invisible attributes namely his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly perceived ever since the creation of the world in the things that have been made.."). But then there is still the question, what are we to do with this understanding of the Divine? Do we randomly call upon nature or spirits as we please to feel a 'connection' with our environment or Creator? Are we to follow our own ideology and/or traditions over what is natural? no. But there is good news, the good news is that we can know and align ourselves to the Divine in a way He calls for ...(Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the Father except through Me") & (Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit"). The Bible reveals that we are spiritually dead without Christ and stand before God as guilty sinners and that's where the good news of the Gospel comes in to reconcile us back to a relationship with our Divine Creator since God desire those who desire to worship Him must do so in Spirit and truth. That's only accomplished through faith in Jesus Christ.. "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” .. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."

[@brendaphillips6379]

thechosenfew…I like your tag line. It speaks volumes. I feel that there are a few who think as I do, with the exception of a few. This world system is designed to make the masses believe in a one world society when it comes to everything we have been taught. As I get older I am learning to question many things . When you are seen as a person that does not conform to the system you become a target to be ridiculed , mocked, and punished. The system has brainwashed the masses and therefore one can stick out very easily. I have been this way for as long as I can recall. I thank the Most High for his devine works in me. I have stumbled and fallen. However, by the grace of Yah, I regain a pathway back to the truth. I have aways desired knowledge and truth. I rejected what is wrong. Therefore because of my views I am usually alone in my stance. This is because I do not think, act and behave as the majority. The majority of people are sick, sad, envious, and evil people. That goes for the variety of hues among us. Therefore, you can’t assume that someone that looks like you is in agreement with your beliefs. I just hope and pray that the will of the Most High prevails in the end. That one day that all this mayhem is never no more. We are living in crucial times. May the will of Yah’s be done. May a peaceful and loving future come into existence for the sake of humanity. 🙏🏽😢

A grotesque product of the age of darkness we live in currently. Let me break it down for you so there might be some light in the void of you mind. What the ancient peoples called gods are forces that are the foundation of the living reality we all share. If you believe in them or not doesnt really matter, do you think the sun cares what you believe, or the wind or the rain? The gods are just isolated aspects of the ONE LIFE. This ONE UNIVERSAL LIFE INTELLIGENCE was called GOD as an abstract concept like you would call a collection of trees a forest. But somone who knows the forest intimately knows the specific type of trees, their function and character and knows how to interact with them...

Dr. Smalls, I asked the question as a 13 year old, what did AFRICANS know before the missionaries came? I had a gut feeling but you just confirmed my thoughts. It is who I AM and what I AM. Couldn't ever lose it, as long as TRUTH was/is my aim; It comprises my DNA. Thanks. Love it.

Teach! ...to those of us who are seekers. I missed your lecture when you were in Houston.

[@chambersinternational7347]

I’m also a seeker too and I realized quite recently that your spirituality has a lot to do with your environment, culture and tradition. We were deceived by those who colonized us that our traditions were fetish and their religion was superior to our traditions. Come to think of it, the same people that brought us Christianity were the same people that enslaved us, how can we trust this people? I come from a place in Nigeria where people can stop the rain from Falling if there is an important occasion. They just need say a few words and make some Incantations and in no time the rain would stop if it was already falling. So how is this practice fetish? Since my years of being a Christian I never saw a pastor or a bishop stop a rain from falling even with all the anointing they claim to have.. so I know that something is wrong somewhere. We were being fooled! This same people stole a lot of our ancestral artifacts which they claim was fetish. Lately I’ve been trying to reconnect with my roots. I come from a place surrounded by water, so I think my Orishas dwell in the water.

To illustrate the point Africa is home to 60% of the most expensive imported cars in the world, the only continent without a single vehicle production factory and without a single Urban Mass Transport Systems, which is a must in big cities. While Africa is home to some of the biggest cities in the world, Cairo 22 million, Lagos 20 million, Kinshasa 18 million and other twenty cities with over 5 million.

And there is nothing comparable to Him.” This is a clear statement by God describing Himself to humanity without any room for confusion. God is One and is exalted above everything He creates. This chapter of the Quran is about the oneness of God. The concept of God has been presented here in its purest form, ridding it of all polluting associations which people of every age have brought to it. There is no plurality of gods. There is only one God. All are dependent upon Him, but He is not dependent on anybody. He Himself has power over everything. He is far above being the progeny of anybody or having any offspring. He is such a unique being that there is nobody like Him or equal to Him in any manner whatsoever. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5_JqHaDpKaMeMk

Even if some knew they did not dwell on things as this modern day society does because it can lead to bitterness and hatred. Therefore, they focussed on THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Kofi, I hope you now know that was a false Jesus. How many times have you read that people follow a humans calling themselves ‘Jesus’ then that same person killed them all. I leave you with this passage amen from 2 Corinthians 11: 13-15 KJV 13 “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” So, you see The Bible provides the answer.
