The Bible does not condone slavery

What does the bible say about slavery?

The people who claim the bible condones slavery are wrong, yes Jesus said but the reason Jesus said these things is because slavery was the Law of the land. The people of Judea were independent for 100 years under the rule of the Maccabees but when Rome conquered the Maccabees the people were under bondage.  Jesus was telling his followers how to conduct themselves under this oppressive regime. 

The bible provides laws that govern slavery only because it was the culture of some ancient civilizations, but the bible does not condone slavery.  Noah/Noach (Hebrew) was called the comfort in Genesis 5 because the people were under oppression of a Lord. Noah was a preacher of righteousness (2nd Peter 2:5) and this word is defined as justice, (fairness in the way people are treated).

Liberty in the Old Testament 

We can see evidence of oppression and liberty throughout the Old Testament, I have provided text that include the word liberty. 

Leviticus 25:10 And proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof meaning the release of slaves - (Hebrew) deror, (Latin) remissionem)+

Isaiah 61:1 - proclaim liberty (latin-indulgentiam) (hebrew- drowr)  freedom  to the captives.

Jeremiah 34:16 - whom he had set at liberty ( latin - liberi ) chophshiy exempt from bondage tax or care chaphash to be free.

Luke 4:18  to set at liberty 

Acts 24:23 

Acts 26:32 

2 Cor 3:17 Now the Lord is that spirit and where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty (latin - libertas) 

Greek - eleutheria-unrestrained not a slave (whether freeborn manumitted), exempt (from oblgation or liability) free man/woman 2064

What is the definition of slavery? 

Slavery - the condition of being legally owned by someone else, forced to labor with no pay and owns nothing 

Servant - Volunteers to serve someone for free or for pay not owned by the master.

Indentured servant - bound to work for a specific amount of time for a variety of reason.

Sharecropper - renting land from an owner in exchange for giving the owner part of the crop.

Serf - bound to the land they occupy and serve a master. 

Effects of slavery

Deportation - a carrying away; a removal from one country to another, or a distant place.

Exiled - cut off, separate or thrust away, to drive from one's country by misfortune, necessity or distress, or forced removal by the government or separate by your own choice, for a limited time or forever. 

Genesis 9:25 And he said Cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

oiketes (servant of servants) Genesis 9:25

ebed/eved - bondman 

knecht - labourer

pais ( a child servant) to the God of Shem Genesis 9:26

bondman - ebed Genesis 9:25

ebed (eved) generic 

Examples of slavery

JACOB THE INDENTURED SERVANT 

 an indentured servant works for free until he has completed his agreement. 

                                                          Genesis 29 - 32

The first time we see an act type of slavery in the bible is Jacob who was sent to serve his uncle and that period of indentured servitude turned in to years of free labor to his uncle and extended stay of sorts. The lord (government) allowed Jacob to go free it was only until this Lord intervened that Jacob was freed, and we then see the name Israel.  This type of slavery is called servitude. 

The selling/trading of Joseph

Genesis 37 and 39                

Genesis 37:36 Joseph - The brothers of Joseph were planning to selling their brother to the Ishmaelites ( they were going to trade/sell their brother for a profit) Genesis 37:24-28 they were going to sell their brother to the the family of Ishmael. 

Sold/Traded  the Midianites family of Lot Abrams son, found Joseph and sold him to the family of Ishmael, son of Abraham. Now lets pay attention that these are family of Abram and his nephew/son Lot. They are practicing what is called selling humans to other humans. 

taken to Egypt- Joseph has now been taken to Egypt by Ishmaelites and purchased by the officer of a Pharoah named Potiphar, who was captain of the guard. (Genesis 39: 1-4 ) Potiphar was his master 

Obviously the tribes of the Nile did not belive in slavery because Joseph was not a slave in the land of Ham he became an employee for the officer but I don't know that he was getting a wage. 

Joseph created a system of servitude and eventually the native people lost their land and it seems Joseph gave the land of the natives to his family and enriched the Pharoah. Genesis whose land he took when he over taxed the people and then took care of his own family and gave them the land of the native people 

Israel somehow becomes the lower class and because in ancient times the warriors were taken from teh lower classes also they were building, ( just like they were building under the rule of Solomon) but I don't see that they were beaten. They had no free will. 

They became slaves under David and Solomon                                                                                    

2nd Kings 17:23

swapped out and replaced.

23 until the Lord removed them from his presence, as he had warned through all his servants the prophets. So the people of Israel were taken from their homeland into exile in Assyria, and they are still there.

24 The king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Kuthah, Avva, Hamath and Sepharvaim and settled them in the towns of Samaria to replace the Israelites. They took over Samaria and lived in its towns. 25 When they first lived there, they did not worship the Lord; so he sent lions among them and they killed some of the people.

Daniel 1:4-3

Daniel 1:4 - 3 And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;

4 Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.

5 And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.

2nd Kings 24:1

10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.

12 And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.

13 And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, as the Lord had said.

14 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.

15 And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem

Slavery is a culture from the ancient world, it was not created by Europe it is older than that civilization and based the definition of slavery it seems it first appeared in Genesis chapter 2 The oppression of Adam and Eve by the Lord God or whom some would say is Shiva (of Hinduism).

Slavery is an attribute of the Anti-Christ, and there is a difference between slavery and servants. 

The miracle of the wine

DID JESUS DRINK WINE OR GRAPE JUICE?

JOHN 2 

Jesus of Nazareth drank wine and there is some debate about the type of wine he drank. Some people believe he drank unfermented wine, but the bible does not use the word unfermented, it simply uses the word wine. Let’s take a look at the story of the miracle at Cana in Galilee to determine if Jesus drank unfermented or fermented wine.

in John chapter 2 Jesus is attending a wedding and turns the water into wine but in order to determine if this wine was grape juice or wine let's look at the term water pots. The term water pots and the process of making wine is essential in understanding what Jesus drank. Take note Jesus said, "Fill the water pots with water".   Based on ancient text there were grapes in water pot. Something else we should consider is the ancient definition of the word Miracles used in this text. Why did the writer use the word miracle? Turning water into wine is only a miracle if the general population were unaware of the process of making wine. Let's take a look at the ancient definition of miracle. 

WHAT IS THE MIRACLE OF TURNING WATER INTO WINE

MARK 9:39

Why is making water into wine a miracle? There are a few ancient definitions for the word miracle, and because the New Testament is written in Greek, we should explore the Greek bible or ancient text for the definitions of the word miracle during biblical times. The Greek word for miracle in John 2:11 is semeion but the Greek word for miracles in Mark 9:39 is Dunamis which is defined as a wonder but the word  miracle  in John 2:11 in the Greek is semeion and it is defined as a sign or a token. 

The (sign) of turning water into wine had different meanings and the use of the jars means the wine was fermented (Alcohol) not grape juice but why was making the wine a sign? I will explore this in another blog. Now that we know Jesus is drinking alcohol; what do the books in the Bible say about drinking alcohol? Let’s begin with the book of Ephesians 5:18: 

I am using the King James Version of the Bible along with the Greek and Latin.

DOES THE BIBLE PROHIBIT DRINKING?

EPHESIANS 5:18

Ephesians 5:18, says and be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the spirit.

The bible does not forbid drinking alcohol, instead it denounces excess drinking, and we can find this text in the 5th chapter and 20 verse of the letter to the church of the Ephesians.  Notice the words used in the text are drunk and wine which indicates the wine could make one intoxicated.

Daylight Saving (s) Time

Is Psalm 55:17 evidence that daylight savings time could impact prayer hours! 

At noon the sun is at its hightest solar energy and people prayed outside Acts 10:9. If prayer hours are rooted in solar energy, then daylight savings time would have created chaos if the people used the time the rulers appointed as time as opposed to what the universe appoints as time. 

Psalm 55:17 is evidence that ancient people prayed morning, noon and evening and position of the sun determined these hours. What amazes me is that the people who didnt have electric lights managed to live without creating methods to increase the daylight. 

Why do we need daylight savings time and is it anti- Genesis 1:14 

Resurrections and Reincarnation in the bible

Resurrection  means to rise from the dead as a human. 

Elijah - Raised widows' son from the dead (1 Kings 17:22)

Elisha - raised the son of the Shunamite woman (2 Kings 4:32,34,36)

Dead Bones of Elisha (2 kings 13:20-21)

 Resurrections were new to European theologians and the Protestant Churches of the new world and throughout the Old Testament people were resurrected. 

Resurrection - to rise from the dead is to die and come back with your own body

 ELIJAH AND ELISA ( Elisas)

Elisa and Elijah were both used to bring people from the dead in the old testaments. Their names are older than Hebrew and based on Judges 12:4-6 Elisha is pronounced Elisa or Eliseus, the ancient names for the God of resurrection, healing and reconciliation. The name Elisha first appears as Elisha in Genesis 10:4 as the great grandson of Noah through his son Japeth.  The symbols of the name Jesus and Elisa can also be seen in the name Methuselah one of our ancestors of Genesis 4 and 5. Both Cain and Seth gave this name to their sons. The name Methuselah includes the sound and symbols of the name Elisa, ancient words had meaning both ways and was translated by the Hebrews, Greeks and Romans. This means this spirit of resurrection & healing named Elisas was operating long before Jesus was born, and the reason John the Baptist was filled with the Holy ghost before he was born. 

ISAIS/ESAIS/ISAIAH/HESAIAS

Resurrection in the New Testament

Resurrection - to rise from the dead is to die and come back with your own body

The New Testament records 3 resurrections.

Lasarus/Lazarus was resurrected from the dead. John 11 

Jesus the son of the widow. Luke 7:11-16  

Jesus raised the man's daughter from the dead Luke 8:51-56

Reincarnation 

Luke 9:18-19 KJV - And it came to pass, as he was alone - Bible Gateway

This passage Jesus is asking who people say he is and the disciples say people believe he is the reincarnation of John the Baptist, Elisas  (Elisa) and some say one of the old prophets. The people of the ancient world obviously believed in reincarnation.  

Re-incarnation - Rebirth of the soul in another body,   

Incarnate - endowed with a human body, to give bodily form, to be the type or give embodiment to (collegiate dictionary) - to constitute an embodiment type.  websters dictionary -

Incarnation - the embodiment of a deity or a spirit in some earthly form, a person showing a trait or typical character

Possession by the devil 

The writer of Matthew 11 implied that Jesus believed John the Baptist was Elias

13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

14 And if ye will receive it, this is Eliasas (Elias) which was for to come.

Jesus response to the question makes me wonder what he really believed. His response was Elisha came and no one knew it was him. Was Jesus going along with this belief or did he really believe Elisha had come back through the body of John the Baptist?

The writer of Luke says John the Baptist would go forth in the power of Elias Luke 1:17

 Luke 1:17 KJV - And he shall go before him in the - Bible Gateway

The writer of the book of John said John the Baptist claimed to be Isaiah. 

John 1:21 -23 John the Baptist said I am not Elias I was sent to prepare the way! 

It seems to me that John is Elijah and Jesus is Elisas the Hebrew, Greek and Latin must be used when studying these names as they have been inpacted by translations. ( more to come)

Herod the tetrarch believed in reincarnation

The writer of Luke said Herod the tetrach believed one of the old prophets were risen again. 

Luke 9:7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed because that it was said of some that John was risen from the dead. (8) And of some that Alasa/Elias/Eliseus had appeared and of others that one of the old prophets were risen again.

Who were these people who believed Elisha was to return? The Pharisees and the Sadducees believed in reincarnation as did Hinduism. Did all of the religions of old and the descendants of Noah believe in reincarnation and resurrection? 

So far, we have three names Elias, Isaiah and Elijah that some believed were returning in the body of others, they also implied that the other prophets could return. Is this is reincarnation. How were their ministries different and which ones raising the dead. The Pharisees believed in the resurrection. The Sadducess in the books of the Pentateuch only. The Jews did not teach that the Messiah would be God incarnate

The Incarnate Messiah

Pharisees that believed in the Incarnate Messiah because Nicodemus was a Pharisee, and he seemed to believe.

Is it possible the commoners believed one thing about Reincarnation and the Elites (priestly class & nobles) believed another.

The transfiguration

Matthew 17:1-3 the writer says Jesus was talking to Moses and Elias on the mountain. 

INVOKING THE SPIRITS OF THE DECEASED 

1st Samuel 28 chapter

The woman called on the deceased Samuel for Saul

It is said that Saul spoke to the deceased Samuel I don't know if its true but this is what the writer recorded. 

The ancient people believed their ancestors gave them access to the God upon the death of another ancestor. We are past the days when people used human sacrifice, reincarnation, resurrection and animal spirits for power and control over each other but what did the resurrection mean to the people of Judea? Resurrection, reincarnation and invoking the spirits of the deceased were practiced in the Old Testament but what was the origin of these practices and did Jesus speak about them? 

All of these events took place before the crucifixion and some before Jesus of Nazereth was born. This means Jesus of Nazareth was real and was also the re-incarnation or return of an ancient spirit from the beginning. The reason he has so much in common with an ancestor or God of Noah or Adam is because he could have been carrying the mantle. It is possible that his ministry has nothing to do with Judaism but the ministry dates back to the book of Genesis and the story of Noach and through the books of the Old Testament.  

Where can we find the original name of Elisa, Elijah, Isaiah in the book of Genesis. These are not Hebrew names and should be in the Old Testament but because Europe replaced the names of God with generic words where can we find the names or symbols of these three ancient spirits that people believed would return? 

African roots in the bible

        For most of my life I listened to many sermons where the minister proclaimed Jesus was in the beginning but I found that theory to be confusing and when asking questions about the origins of Jesus I was told to have faith. This was a common answer among many teachers, preachers, and in the messages of old. Another common quote was "there are some things God does not want us to know," another is  "there are some things that are a mystery." I was disappointed with those answers because one of the passages in the old testament says the exact opposite "My people perish for lack of knowledge" and therefore I believed if I look for answers and found evidence to support my answers I would gain the knowledge that the sages of old said I needed in order to be whole. 

    I grew up in a country among people of European descent with roots in the traditions of Christianity of which I felt comfortable with but as a descendant of the African diaspora, I had no ancestral connection and I began to feel disconnected from the church, that is until I read some books about the ancestral land of Africa, Masa-raim, called Egypt by the historians. The traditions of these African tribes reminded me of some of churches I have attended through out my life but I had no biblical evidence until I read a certain passage in the book of Exodus. Could the study of the scriptures and Judaism provide evidence of African roots in Christianity? This video will provide a text that I believe is a good place to start or you can get any book about Egypt, from a library or book store and start your own research.

Women and the Lord

 

Misogyny is defined as - "dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women."

First Timothy 2:11 -12

 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

Paul says that a woman he said, I suffered not a woman to teach Lord to observe authority over the man, but to be in silence.

The first thing to take note of his Paul said I he did not say the Lord he did not say God he said I and then he goes into his opinion of what happened to Adam and Eve his theory is not in line with the events of Genesis because not only was Punished, but Adam was punished as well ? Therefore, when Paul says that a woman should not teach or serve authority or man, we want to keep in mind that he was trained as a Pharisee and he was also a I believe a teacher of the law secondly, we want to keep in mind that he was a persecutor of Christians and he was a reformed persecutor of Christians and during that time in efficient where Timothy Man wrote the letter to the man wrote the letter was preaching Christians were being persecuted.  

Paul would know what the identifiers were Paul would know how to identify Christian and we should consider that during this period. He may have been trying to keep the Christians under the radar in order for the Romans to consider them Jews. We read the history books. it says that the Romans were confused. They did not know how to determine the difference between the Jews and the Christians and the very well could be that the Christians were hiding in plain sight, I do believe that one of the identifiers of the Christians were the great and this is why Paul said do not allow the women to braid their hair. Do not allow these women to wear gold. Do not allow these women to wear pearls because the women, the women of Judea  Were not allowed to wear them. ?

We want to keep in mind that join this. The candies were ruling in Ethiopia. We also want to keep in mind that Cleopatra was a queen and very probable is very probable that she was a queen of Judah because Greek on that region, so Paul’s views about women May have been rooted in what he was taught by Gail as a Pharisee ?

Something else that we should consider is that Jesus said that there will be no males or females in his kingdom. Paul said I said this OK and their times went in his writing. He was very clear. I say this not the Lord so we want to know the reason he said he said the letter was written to the church of and this church received the warning from Jesus in the book of Revelation. The church did exist. They’re no longer there. That’s one of the reasons we believe that Jesus came back already, but with that said, we want to take a look at Dorcas and Tabatha.

The events in Isaiah took place between 740 bce and 680 bce during the rise of Pharoahs of  Kush, the rule of the 23rd dynasty of Pharoahs in Herakaleopolis or Harasalapolis and the rule of the kings of  Judah and Israel after they were divided.  

   This stance about women in verse 16 could only come from a priesthood or rulers from biblical Arabia or West Asia because the children of Kama (Ham) had  women rulers and warriors as did some tribes of East Asia. It is possible the concept of Wonder Woman and her sister Nubia are based on the dispensation of the African God Sothis (Greek translation) combined with the dispensation of the spirit of the God called Ase, Asis or Assisi-ye. According to many books about this region in pre-historic Africa the women owned land and had rights. 

   During 600 Bce Buddhism rose in Asia and there were no woman priest, however biblical Israel did allow women to serve as priest but that seemed to  change after the death of Miriam. Is there evidence of female priest in Israel before the New Testament? Were there female rulers in biblical Arabia, where Moses answered the call? This text causes me to wonder if Moses was heard the call of a priesthood of a diety of Arabia or another biblical draconian based society. Most cultures that are under a lunar calendar have the same feeling about women as the Lord in Verse 16 of the 19th chapter of the book of Isaiah, but do you believe this is the Christ?

Sacred Mountains in the bible and the world

   Holy mountains and mountains of God are not limited to the children of Israel or the Hebrews. Most tribes of the ancient world had holy mountains, sacred lands. There are holy mountains or sacred lands in America, Asia not sure about Europe but we will explore that. Is it possible that the tribes of America and Africa honored the same Gods and did they name the mountains for those Gods? 

What purpose did those mountains serve for the first people? 

Ancient tribes and America

• 
  
• 

Ancient tribes that could have migrated to America

The year 1900 BC

Genesis 14:

From Exodus 17:8-16 to 2nd Samuel 30 the servants of the Lord carried out a 700-year battle against the Amalekites. 

Exodus 17:8-16 For he said, Because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. 

Deuteronomy 25:19 

1 Samuel 15:3,7 Saul destroyed the Amalekites but took the king alive

1 Samuel 30:1,17 Means the Amalakites did not die then David fought them but some escaped.

Some modern theologians believe the Amalekites are descendants of Esau (Genesis 36:12) but the Amalekites could be an older tribe.   

The name Amalak and they seem to be associated to human sacrifice as were the indigenous people of Mexico. The altars are proof of this. 

  

Did the Amalakites migrate from Asia to America?

The serpent in the final image of this video, resembles a symbol of the 2 ancestor dieties of Japan named Izanagi and Izanami or symbols of the Hindu spiritual system

  In Acts 7 Stephen said Israel was worshipping Rephidem or Madawakafara (fire?) but it this could be the name of a location in the Sinai Peninsuala where the Amalak ruled.  I believe the Olmec were priestly, or priest kings because they wrote in hieroglyphics, a priestly writing of indigenous Africans of Masa-ram (called Egypt). Mexico has pyramids just like the cities of the Nile and based on their biblical characteristics the Amalakites practiced human sacrifice. The act of human sacrifice was common for some the indigenous world but the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazereth as the last human sacrifice would end this practice in many places. 

We don't know for sure if the Olmecs were the Amalakites but their traditions and practices seem to be simular but where they the good guys or the bad guys. Why did the Lord of the Hebrews hate the Amalakites and want to destroy them from the face of the earth?

Mary and the word handmaid

DEFINITION OF HANDMAID

The bible refers to Mary mother of Jesus as a handmaid but what does this mean? Through the lense of the churches of Europe the word defines a young girl, but the bible provides a different definition for handmaid. There are variations of ancient terms for handmaid and one of them is Shifchato, from the Orthodox Jewish Bible.

HANDMAIDS OF THE BIBLE 

Laban father in-law to Jacob gave to his daughters Leah and Rachel handmaids named Zilpah and Bilhah, who became surrogate mothers of some of the tribes of Israel.

 Apparently, handmaids had no rights to their own bodies. in the ancient world the word handmaid means concubine or a participant in what is called a morganatic marriage? The marriage of Boaz in the book Ruth represents a morganatic marriage, which is defined as a tradition when a noble or elite marries a person of a lesser class and this is something Mary, mother of Jesus could have experienced.

HISTORY OF HANDMAIDS

 Deuteronomy 21:10-14 KJV - When thou goest forth to war against - Bible Gateway

Between the old and New Testament, the land of Judea was captured by the Romans under the Julio-Claudian dynasty during a war and Herod was appointed as the ruler.  Deuteronomy 21:10-14 is crucial in understanding the culture of the handmaid. Based on my interpretation of the text, a woman captured during war, and desired by a ruler or noble, would be delivered to the noble and returned to her tribe or her people upon his discretion. Please read the NIV for clarification.

This is similar to circumstances surrounding Hagar the handmaid of Sarah and could be a reason for Joseph being permitted to marry, the pregnant Mary, who identified herself as a handmaid. 

The laws of Deuteronomy 21:10-17 seems to be common for the tribes of Asia but was this custom worldwide? Does this practice still exist in certain religions and regions in the world today? We should consider the marriage of Prince Harry and Megan Markle as an example of ancient classism. Most important this theory about morganatic marriage makes the birth of Jesus practical and applies the immaculate conception to the trinities of African mythology and the Greek church.

SUMMARY

View my video above to compare my list to yours and click subscribe to see more videos about nontraditional bible topics. 

If Mary were impregnated by a human what does this mean about the origins of salvation?  There are many books that claim the story of salvation is older than Jesus of Nasareth and recorded in pyramid text, but before we jump to any conclusions let's understand the Greek, Hebrew and Roman definitions of the word handmaid. 

This is an evidence-based study and information is subject to change..

Arrows, Spears, Bullets & Clubs

 Is deadly force and extreme policing as old as time ? When did the man of African descent become a symbol of danger to the European rulers? What could have happened to cause such extreme behavior towards the descendants of indigenous Africans? 

  The story of Jesus, whether you believe it to be real or fictional provides a peek into  into ancient manipulation of the judicial system. How many people came to arrest him? What crime did he commit and why did the thieves get the death sentence. 

 So many people want to get past race how can we if we don't understand origins.  When I look at what happened to Jesus it reminds me of what happens to black men in todays time. There has to be a reason for this reaction toward the Negro people. Did this fear originate with ancient teaching of the people of Europe? It just so happens the Church of Rome was their first teacher. 

   How many arrows did ancient police need in order to stop a violent person or a group of people? How many body blows does it take to subdue a violent person?  How many bullets does it take to stop a violent person?  

What did everyday policing look like during biblical times? What type of governance has the world been under for 2000 years and what was it like before Alexander the Great entered the world stage? What did ancient people do about oppressive laws and rulers that brutalized the people. When did the man of African descent become a symbol of fear? 

   What ancient priesthood treated people in such a harsh manner? Certainly it was not the Christ! When I think about ancient policing I think about Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities of the plain, "Would the Christ blow up a whole town for breaking the law ?" Would the Christ chop off the fingers of a thief? If the Christ was in the beginning are we saying he had two names and two personalities? Why is this harsh treatment of humans especially people of African descent continuing through out the world. 

  When Jesus said "Those that live by the sword die by the sword," we know this is not a literal statement because history has proven that many of the people who live by the sword and their descendants go on to live fabulous lives. We need only to look at the Native Americans and the injustices they faced for this same policing and just look at what happened to them, they lost the land and millions died. 

There are times that I wonder what the Europeans found in the pyramids and libraries of Ancient Africa that made them so afraid of people of African descent. Why they felt the need to divide these people and disperse them all over the world and then oppress the ones that remained. 

Does this have anything to do with the stories that one of their ancestors was divine? Who are the ancestors of the Africans of the diaspora and their families that were left behind in Africa and how is it linked to Genesis 9 and extreme policing in modern times?

Divination and Prophecy

    After watching the video do you wonder what exactly was going on between the Lord and Abraham? It appears the priest of the temple were using Augury - (interpreting omens from the behavior of birds) to determine the future but were these birds also used in Luke 2:20 to give a prediction about Jesus.   LUKE 2:20-23 speaks of Jesus being presented as a child but verse 24 states the type of birds that were used; turtledoves and pigeons.  24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. Were the turtle doves and pigeons used for divination? What roll did these birds play in this type of a sacrifice?  

25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation (comfort after a loss) of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

26 -27 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ, and he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, then he took him up in his arms ( in the verses 28-32 he is expressing his views)

 

33 Mary and Joseph are seemingly surprised at what they heard but did they receive a divination, prophecy or prediction.  The text describes the words that Simeon used as things that were spoken of. What does that mean?

34 Simon then begins to speak of things to come. Are the turtle doves and pigeons used for divination or prophecy? Which one is it? 

When Noah released the raven and the dove was this also augury? 

Did every ancient tribe of the world practice this ritual called augury ?

Culture assimilation and the bible

Add caption

I believe Rome created something new. They adopted the traditions and rituals of the priest and Pharoahs of Africa replaced equality with patriarchy and applied a Lunar Calendar to it. It seems they applied the festivals that apply to Jesus to a Lunar Calendar and the other days of African ancestors to a solar calender and replaced their In the Hebrew calendar the year 2020 is represented by the year 5780. The month we call May is Sivan or Aswan on the Hebrew calendar but did the Hebrews created a calendar or discover a calendar?  The original priestly writing was in the form of Hieroglyphics called the language of God and that writing belonged to African priest.  Unless someone can show me why I should believe this calendar dated 5780 was created by the Ancient Hebrews I stand on the belief that the creators were of African origin long before Abraham. 

The calendars of the festivals of the ancient church are rooted in the ancient festivals of the African Saints and deities that were a part of the creative elements of the universe. When we look at the origins of the religion of the biblical people of Judea we have to consider that it's origins are rooted in the tribes of the ancient civilizations of the Nile river. 

When reading the bible keeping in mind who the children of Israel were prior to moving into the Nile civilization is of great importance in attempting to understanding the root of their culture and traditions.  I am reminded that they were welcomed into a culture that existed for over thousands of years. They moved into a settled civilization city states, villages who utilized, irrigation, aqueducts, canals, roads, temples, governed by elders, priests, princes, doctors etc... centered around a philosophy or principle named Ma'at possibly Mitzvot.

Mitzvot - 613 commandments 

365 - negative confessions for the solar years ( an African calendar) 

248 - positive confessions the number of bones in the body ( Egyptians were the only people who embalmed people)  

Moses, as a member of the African royal family (a prince) was trained by the African priest   He either received these laws from the spirit realm or he used the knowledge he was taught from the Africa priest or wise men and gave it to the descendants of Jacob and the multitude that left Africa with them.  One thing he was unfamiliar with that his brother was familiar with is snake charming or illusions. 

Something else to consider is Moses could have been given the African laws of Ma'at mixed with draconian (harsh) unfair, undiplomatic consequences. 

                                                 

If the origins of Judaism and Islam are rooted in some portion of African tradition I believe they might be a part of the Amun, or branch of deities; a more draconian (oppressive rule with charity at the core of its teaching). If true then what is missing from this dynamic is the agricultural calendar of which the Hebrew calendar is rooted. This agricultural calendar also represents the fertility or solar cults of which Ashura or the Christ (Karys) are associated.  The Ashura and Karys or the Horus represents what some would call a Adamakryse (Damakrisee) a combination of  Adam & Christ. I believe the Amun and YHW were related to something with harsher governing.

Does the bible denounce homosexuality?

The word homosexuality was added to European bible in 1946

The bible was translated into English and when studying, it is important to understand the ancient languages. According to the various internet sites the word homosexuality was added to a Protestant bible in 1946. The English bibles are a translation of ancient text from of the continents of Africa and Asia.  

Events of the bible take place in Africa and Asia, the culture of the people who translated the original text into the Protestant bibles did not understand the ways of the people of Africa or Asia. The first European teachers and translators identify these cultures as pagan, but the definition of this word pagan is European just as the word homosexuality and neither words are included in the first bibles.

SODOM AND GOMORRAH - INCEST& RAPE

Genesis 19:1-28

1) Sodom & Gomorrah were destroyed but there was no homosexual act in this text. The only act of sex mentioned in this story is rape and incest. Lot was raped by his daughters. we don't know if this was their stepfather or natural father. The focus of the story is not homosexuality it is incest, non-consentual sex and Forced fatherhood.  Lots daughters were aware that they were ovulating and planned their pregnancy with their legal Father ( possible step father). 

We know this act was a sin (against natural law) because they raped their father while he was intoxicated.  If Lot had been sober this rape would not have happened. Using this text to denounce consensual same sex relations (homosexuality) is an error and a tradition that needs to end. 

Sodom, Gomorrah and the cities of the plain were destroyed but the scriptures say Sodom was destroyed because of greed and selfishness. 

Ezekiel 16: 49 - 50 

Ezekiel 16:49-50 KJV - Behold, this was the iniquity of thy - Bible Gateway

Ezekiel 16:49-50 states the reason Sodom were destroyed was because of Greed and selfishness. Gomorrah and the cities of the plain were also destroyed. Search the scriptures to determine why and get more details about these cities.

SODOM AND GOMORRAH ARE NOT HEBREW WORDS

Israel colonized Canaan and many of the names of the cities remained. Genesis 14 shows the cities were named prior to the arrival of Abram/Abraham and Canaan was a child of Ham, therefore it the names are African in origin. The name Sodom and Gomorrah are names of ancient ancestors. If you look at the Greek or Hebrew, you will see these names are not rooted in sexual activity. These names include the symbols in the ancestors named Adam and Kam or Ham. The was no act of homosexuality in this story of Sodom and Gomorrah.

What is Natural and Nature

NATURE - NATURAL 

(Greek - PHUSIS)

Prior to reading this ask yourself, to whom in Rome did Paul write this letter and why? The ancient meaning of the words natural, nature is very important when studying this text.

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

What is the meaning of nature? 

Bible hub uses the term Phusis (5449) - it means natural law or nature, inherent nature, origin, birth.

The Greek/Hebrew Bible concordance - defines nature as lineal descent, (this is referring to descendants, blood relatives and if he were referring to an orgy how would one know who the father of the children are?  There is no order in an orgy; another definition is disposition or constitution.

Disposition - the way in which something is arranged. Arrangement, placement.

Constitution- the state or other organization; something that is acknowledged to be governed or to govern. Both words are defined under the word natural in the Greek/Hebrew Bible Concordance.

   

In biblical times it was natural for the chief wife to give consent for her husband to marry or have sex with another woman. Genesis and the interaction between Sarah, Hagar and the wives and concubines of Jacob is evidence that there was order in sexual relations. Genesis also lets us know that the women were aware of the menstrual cycles. Having sex without order is against nature. I would assume orgies were unnatural for the native people, but it was common among the Romans. Was this passage about orgies or is the topic about adults indulging in same sex relations?

This text also seems to reinforce laws regarding hierarchy and equality something the Pharonic Egyptians practiced long before Rome and Greece came along. We want to consider that if there were orgies taking place in Rome the rich, poor and slaves could have engaged in these acts and conceiving children would upset the order of the society. 

                                 1 Corinthians 6:9 - Effeminate  

In the concordance is the word effeminate is defined as Malakos 

which means fine clothing or Catamite

Catamite - means pederest.

Pederest - is a lover of boys.

All of these definitions combined can be defined as having an order/rules/laws to relationships, but the scholars have presented this text as same sexual relations.        

Jude 7   the word homosexuality was not mentioned in the early bibles such as King James Version instead the word fornication was used. How did this word homosexuality get into the bible. 


Strange flesh - does this mean same sex, dead bodies or strangers?

1 Timothy 1:8-10 defile themselves with mankind.  Again the original King James version of the bible does not mention the word homosexuality.

The Latin version is Masulorum Concubitoribus and this means authoritative command, equal rights, violating boys & the lesser class. The lines up with the rest of the bible about
