RELIGION.....Past and Present

This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me........



Considering the lack of peace in the world today its almost ridicules to believe that " modern day preachers, divines, priests, ministers, what-have-you " truly honor and worship God. The effectual fervent pray of a righteous man availeth  much. Righteous thoughts, deeds, and actions breed righteousness into the atmosphere. Righteousness is the main element of peace. Therefore, it is vain for men to think that peace can be achieved if there is no effort to change their evil ways. Its absurd to constantly preach peace without any righteous deeds to manifest it.


Thank God for real men who would rather die on their feet than to keep living on their knees. Members of The Clergy....... many are called..... but only a few are chosen.

Fredrick Douglass,
 may have said it best when he said many, many, many years ago that,
                                                                        
 "The church regards religion simply as a form of worship, an empty ceremony, and not a vital principle, requiring active benevolence, justice, love, and good will towards man. It esteems sacrifice above mercy; psalm-singing above right doing; solemn meetings above practical righteousness.

 A worship that can be conducted by persons who refuse to give shelter to the homeless, to give bread to the hungry, clothing to the naked, and who enjoin obedience to a law forbidding these acts of mercy is a curse, not a blessing to mankind.

The Bible addresses all such persons as "scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites, who pay tithe of mint, anise, and cumin, and have omitted the weightier matters of  the law, judgment, mercy, and faith.

But the church of this country is not only indifferent to the wrongs of the slave, it actually takes sides with the oppressors. Many of its most eloquent Divines, who stand as the very lights of the church, have shamelessly given the sanction of religion and the Bible to the whole slave system.


 They have taught that man may, properly, be a slave; that the relation of master and slave is ordained of God; that to send back an escaped slave to his master is clearly the duty of all the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ; and this horrible blasphemy is palmed off upon the world for Christianity.

For my part, I would say, welcome infidelity! welcome atheism! welcome anything! in preference to the gospel, as preached by these Divines.

These ministers make religion a cold and filthy-hearted thing, having neither principles of right action nor bowels of compassion.
                                                               
They strip the love of God of its beauty and leave the throne of religion a huge, horrible, repulsive form.

 It is a religion for oppressors, tyrants, man-stealers, and thugs.

 A religion which favors the rich against the poor, which exalts the proud above the humble; which divides mankind into two classes, tyrants and slaves; which says to the man in chains, stay there; and to the oppressor, oppress on; it is a religion which may be professed and enjoyed by all the robbers and enslavers of mankind; it makes God a respecter of persons, denies his fatherhood of the race, and tramples in the dust the great truth of the brotherhood of man.

" Members of the clergy, if this doesn't describe you; then I'm not talking about you, however, if this is you, then I'm taking directly to you"

Marvel not; ye must be born again!!!!!

CANAAN U.S.P.

                             "Out of Egypt have I called my son" USA........Most people when they hear or see the word Canaan they are reminded of the Biblical Hebrew account of the land promised by God to Abraham. Eventually, God delivers - the land flowing with milk and honey - to the descendants of Abraham, the Israelites.   Canaan was a region in the Ancient Near East during the late 2nd millennium BC. Typically, Western biblical scholarship has included ancient Canaan as part of a so called Middle East. However, the ancient authors of the Bible had no such racial bias against Africa and ancient Canaan was generally understood in antiquity to be an extension of the continent of Africa. (There was no Suez Canal artificially separating Africa from those lands to the East). So, when the parents...

 "Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?" The Hebrew Bible and the Qur'an record the story of judgement against the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.   The children of God, because of their willing separation from God, evident by their grievous, continuous, deviate, sexual orientation, and rebellion ------- were about to pay for their disobedience. God said, " I will go down now and see. " Abraham - Gods man of that time -  saw God coming and intervened with God on humanities behalf.  He inquired if God would spare the city if 50 righteous could be found within the city? God agreed. He would not destroy the city if 50 righteous could be found. Abraham then inquired of God, "What about 45? What if 45 righteous can be found? Again, God agreed. He would not destroy the city if 45 righteous could be found. Abraham then inquired  of God for " mercy " at lower numbers( 40, then 30, then 20, and finally 10). ...
