Greetings
Brethren,
Will self, pride
and prejudiced thinking move aside and allow Truth to enter? What is Truth
FreedomJournal? Is your Truth my Truth? Do most people want Truth? Is there a
Black Truth and a White Truth? Will Truth reign Supreme? Why do you
(FreedomJournal) have some semblance of Truth? Do you know Truth?
Peace and Love,
Carl Patton
writing for the FreedomJournal on a mission of Truth in the year of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ September 28, 2002.
RACE AND GOD (BLACK NOR WHITE)
PART 6: BLACK IMAGES OF JESUS UNGODLY
In the name of Jehovah God, Master of the universe,
Ruler of the earth.
We continue to
pray brethren for the Holy Spirit to guide and direct us in Truth. Compassion
and love are noted in the righteous. There is no righteousness in those that
come with an attitude of hate, and malice. Nor can one claim that hate directed
upon them leads them to the stalls of hate. Does hate breed more hate? What
then are the reactions of those that have historically seen hate, degradation
and human bondage?
Dearly beloved
the answers to all of the problems among humankind are seen, and heard in the
Bible. However just reading the Bible will not automatically answer questions.
One has to have an on-going relationship with God. This relationship will cause you to embrace
the Messiah. The Holy Spirit will then guide you, and then you will be able to
grapple with the trials and tribulations of life.
It can be argued
that the move to note Black images of Jesus Christ and the Prophets/Apostles
stems from the equally blasphemous campaign to note Jesus and the Prophets as
White. So does White Supremacy produce and promote Black Supremacy? Does
oppression and suppression breed resistance? Will the denial of freedom to the
oppressed render an unrelenting cry for freedom? Will Censorship and the denial
of academic freedom only bring those Censored to greater levels of Truth and
critique that which they had not known previously? For example do Censors
motivate those Censored to bring up concepts for review that further indict and
incriminate the ungodly Censors?
Although there
are legitimate reasons for a reaction to White Supremacy it should be in a
manner to cause positive results. For example one negative should not render
another negative. White Supremacy that equals Black Supremacy is the negative
to the negative. What about the positive? The positive is found in the Godly
and knowledge of God. As we extend this thought, we will note a review of
certain Biblical scriptures later. Nevertheless, for now more on the precedents
of Black images and why.
Let the record
show that ingrained in the Black experience has been many negatives that many
claim to be positive. It is for sure that Black intellectuals have told lies
just like their White counterparts to suffice for and make for a rationale for
White racism and Black racism. Thus, the FreedomJournal will expose White
Supremacy and Black Supremacy.
"Yet how
pray tell us FreedomJournal do you combat the efforts of Economic/Racism and
the efforts to project a God that favors White people and lists Blacks as
second class believers? Are you implying that the Black reaction to note Jesus
as Black is justified because the White Jesus is a lie? What then is the
importance of the ethnic line of Jesus and the original Hebrew people? It is
understood that Jesus came as divine in the human. So we look at both but we do
not dwell on race, color. Why?"
The White Jesus
offends many Black people. It also does not offend some. Those offended by a
White Jesus are Afro-Centric scholars and theologians that claim that Jesus was
Black and wish to promote this concept. Others are offended because they
realize that Jesus should not be noted in a racial form thus all images of
Jesus and the Prophets should be removed. These people base their conclusions
on scripture and not from the world of misunderstanding motivated by greed and
unbelief.
There are also
Blacks that are not offended. Are there more positive qualities in those that
lean toward Black Supremacy than the Blacks that find no offense in a White
Jesus? Yes there are some Blacks for example those that ascribe to cults that
believe that they are the only Witnesses for God. These so-called Witnesses
believe that Jesus is White and should be depicted as such. So does those in
the various Churches of Christ. Can you believe in a White Jesus and be a
member of the Lord’s Church? Do you believe that Jesus ever promoted racism?
This leads us to
the time of the establishment of White Supremacy in the Western Hemisphere. Yes
the time in which they gave the Bible to the slave preachers who were told that
Blacks were cursed. Also ingrained in the slave time religion was the lie that
the master was ordained master by God and God ordained the Black slave to serve
the master.
Here again we
see the essence of Economic/Racism that mis-used God and the Bible to promote
an on-going philosophy that is still being developed. So it can be argued that
the Blacks rendered mind dead and brainwashed (a brain washed out of sense) are
more detrimental to Truth than the hate mongers who have some facts but have
not organized them.
Can we help
those that hopefully want Truth and understanding?
"FreedomJournal
is this the role of your efforts in your writings? Does the FreedomJournal
believe that they can promote the masses to mediation and thought regarding
certain questions? Can one really understand the reasoning for non-racial
images of Jesus and the Prophets?"
