Christianity is not beneficial to black and brown people!
Christianity was forced into the lives of black and brown people as slavery was spreading. Colonialism still impacts the way non-White people look at the world; we continue to exist based on the concepts of colonizers. Christianity is one of many ways in which the slavemasters left their legacies...
-
Have black people benefitted from religions?
The answer is no. We are "stuck" in our oppressors' religions from Islam to Christianity. As black people, the historical information that would allow us to completely free ourselves from the "white savior" grip has been with-held. As a result, we have been worshipping God through the lens of...
-
Old Testament and misinformation
More reading on "We The Black Jews." Drawing some conclusions about the evidence in the book and connecting that to actual happenings. The Old Testament has many historical references, which are connected to other areas of history, which are not preached by religions. There is so much to learn,...

Introduction to the Old Testament and its messages
So much is written in the Old Testament, but is it the truth? In this podcast, I am focusing on a book called, We The Black Jews, by Yosef A.A. ben-Jochannan. In the book, Jochannan is debunking the claims which are known in religions. He is referencing the religion, Judaism, and its origin and…

Sorting through the good and the bad..
Focusing on dualism in life instead of being confined to the baseless claims of Adam-and-Eve's sins. In the practical world, no one is excluded from experiencing bad days regardless of their knowledge of the psalms. The physical world and all its atrocities will affect each of us. Recently, my…

Finale of 'Stolen Legacy' by George G.M James.
I am concluding from the various passages of the book. James is putting forth arguments about the Greeks using the Egyptian Mysteries System ideas to create narratives. Philosophy did not originate in Greece, but it was borrowed conclusions of ancient Africa. Through the plundering of...
-
Continuing to read from George G.M. James book called, Stolen Legacy.
In this segment, I am reading through the book called, Stolen Legacy. In the book, the discussion of the Egyptian Mysteries System and how ancient Egypt(Kemet) would contribute to Greece and Rome's conclusions about life. How the ancient people of Africa lived their lives through their...
-
Traveling Concepts which are featured in the bible.
Africa is the start of civilization and many African contributions were copied to the regions of Greece and Rome. Educator, G.M. James, wrote the book, Stolen Legacy, and he explained how "Greek Philosophy" has no history other than that it was stolen from Egypt's(KMT) history. So many of the...
-
The difference between spiritual concepts and religious ideologies..
Since leaving Christianity, I continue to focus on learning and growing instead of adhering to religious conclusions. It is life-changing to compare and contrast what my life was like back then to what it is now. I can say that many changes have occurred, and I am more at ease with life. I don't...
-
The ills of religion.
Religions offer a physical place to worship, but they can also cause distractions because they introduce rules and rituals. As the journey with God continues, continue to focus on you-mentally, spiritually, and physically.

The errors in Paul's writings!
Paul said a lot to the different churches. For example, according to Paul; we are just sinners who do not deserve God's love. Paul's confusion can be seen in his writings and it is causing people to think that their lives are just stuck in sins. Additionally, he said that our lives are cursed...
-
Going back-and-forth while claiming faith!
Paul also battled with his writings and preaching. He wrote a line where jesus told a disciple that Julius Caesar needed to be given what is due to him while God also needed to be given attention. What was that line about? How could jesus come to Earth to identify injustices but still…

You are not a sinner! You are God's creation.
According to Paul, we are sinners all the time, but that is an egregious message. We are worthy of God's love and that love is continuous. We must also understand that we are responsible for our actions in this world. That everything we do should be about learning and growing instead of thinking...
-
Anti-women sentiment is the theme of many religions!
Why would God only choose men to have conversations with? Did God really do that, or religions are preaching this destructive narrative on their own? It is important to differentiate between God's plan and human actions. God created man and woman for a purpose, but religions are separating the…
more -
Why, ALL this patriarchal mentioning in the Abrahamic religions?
My, oh my, so much of what we read in the bible comes from men to serve men on Earth. Is this God's idea, or human creation? Remember that God's creation ideas differ from religious conclusions. God put man-and-woman together for a purpose but religions have separated the man and the woman to…
more -
God is not a man!
Listen to a poem of how men ruin God's designs while women remain subservient to men. Did God create this concept, or did religion write this into their dogmas? Patriarchy is a system of western civilization, but not of God.
-
Patriarchy in religion(s)
Why does God only speak to men in the bible? Well, the stories in the bible are in dire need of critical assessment especially where men are the main characters. This is one of many red-flags in the bible where the stories are saturated with men being leaders of women. Women are fully capable of...
-
Solve problems practically and with spirituality!
The problems in our lives cannot be solved by the "Blood of Jesus" and by sending them to God. As believers in God, we are responsible for identifying issues and working to remedy those uncomfortable situations. We hold the strength, along with God's love to take on challenges. As believers, we...
-
Jesus and Horus!
Learn about the similarities of Horus and Jesus.
-
Discussing pyscho-dynamics in religion.
Listen in on how psychology influences our behaviors, and even our presence in the church.
-
Life before-and-after biblical christ!
Read the bible as though it is a history book, not a holy book.
-
Take a look at the evidence.
Be more aware of the history of Christianity instead of repeating verses which are told to you by the institution. There is so much more information to learn, and you, as the listener and reader, should seek more knowledge.
-
Act Spiritually!
As a believer in God, it is important for us to practice love and harmony with others. That is the gear we get in prayer- God equips us with understanding, empathy, and peace so that we can share with others. Avoid conforming to the ways of the world, and instead work to exclude yourself from the...
-
Open-mindedness!
Be more aware of the different civilizations in the bible.
-
Themes in the bible!
Themes of circumcision, leadership, and monarchies are not from God. They are from the designs of human beings and their tendencies to want power and notoriety.
-
Do some homework!
It is important for believers to learn to differentiate between pieces of information to gain a stronger conclusion of the bible. Simply following along in the ways of Christianity is not healthy. The bible is filled with violent stories, which are not God-breathed. God is about clarity and love,...
-
Evidence from different civilizations
This segment is about the connections between the Babylonian myths and the Christian bible stories. Also, referenced is the similar concepts of Vishnu and Christianity.
-
Storytelling
Who is telling the story and why? Find out why you, as the reader, or believer, must be aware of how stories are told in the bible.
-
Discernment is key!
The stories in the bible should be analyzed with the mindset that human beings were struggling to understand their environments and created ways to exist within those settings. The bible is more of a history book than it is a holy book.
-
Analyze- don't just repeat
Believers must take a different look at the messages in the bible.
-
Clarity
Clarity, discernment, and more clarity. Faith is not ignorant. Faith is knowing.
-
The importance of information
Do not be ignorant to new information. Keep an open-mind to information and respect it.
-
Do & Don't
Go to God, and seek God. Prophets cannot help you!
-
