"I WILL NOT BELIEVE "






                                                                                 

                                                                          

"Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I WILL NOT BELIEVE..................


Hebrew scripture records that one of the twelve disciples, the  one referred to as doubting Thomas, refused to believe that Christ had been resurrected from the grave by the power of the Holy Spirit.

In fact, he claimed that until he could thrust his hand into His side.....he would not believe. No matter who claimed that He was alive. For eight days Thomas adamantly refused to accept the truth until Christ appeared, thru a closed door, and opened up his dark and dull understanding.
                                                        
How unfortunate it is that, millions of Americans can not, or will not believe that the inordinate wealth distribution, combined with the systematic racism that plagues this country and the white privilege that most European Americans enjoy today is the direct result of "The Peculiar Institution" called slavery.

Apparently, just like doubting Thomas, it will take the appearance of Christ manifested in flesh - and not the word of His resurrection - to prompt the masses to  understand the truth concerning the damage caused by slavery in America.

 The return of Christ will usher in a new day and a new way of thinking.

His appearance will profess the truth that racism and white supremacy are cultural traits - learned behavior that started being practiced and instilled in the fabric of America over four centuries ago. The advent of Christ will confirm that God is a spirit, and the only way to know Him and worship Him is in spirit and truth.
                                                                          

On 20 June 1995, the Southern Baptist Convention(SBC) voted to adapt a resolution renouncing its racist roots and apologizing for its past defense of slavery.

More than 20,000 Southern Baptist registered for the meeting in Atlanta. The resolution declared that the SBC delegates "unwaveringly denounce racism, in all its forms, as deplorable sin" and lament and repudiate historic acts of evil such as slavery from which we (white Americans) continue to reap a bitter harvest."

The SBC offered an apology to all African-Americans for "condoning and/or perpetuating individual and systemic racism in our lifetime" and repentance for "racism of which we have been guilty, whether consciously or unconsciously."

The SBC has condemned racism in the past, however this was the first time the predominantly white convention had dealt specifically with the issue of slavery.


To date, several Fortune 500 Companies, have come forth and acknowledged and apologized for their involvement in the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. All of them have recorded enormous profits and growth based primarily on the "free labor" provided by the Africans they imported.
                                                                              
Lehman Brothers, a leader in financial services, is one of the culprits, along with Aetna Insurance, Inc., J.P. Morgan Chase, New York Life, Wachovia Corporation(now owned by Wells Fargo) and Norfolk & Southern Railroad Company which reported that they rented slaves to work for the railroad industry at the cost of $180.00($3,379.00 at today's market rate) apiece for a year at a time.




Economic historians estimate that during the four hundred plus years of slavery in America, between 6.7 and a whooping 19.7 million dollars a year funneled into the American economy via the companies listed above and others.

Recently, the Treasury Department announced that it would start printing the likeness of Harriet Tubman on the twenty dollar bill. The out-cry from the masses has been epic. One commentator relied like this:...............................
                                      

How ironic. That no matter how you deface American currency - we all - are still going to spend it.

Satan just flat-out refuses to give peace a chance.

Many Americans, at least the ones that promote hatred and bigotry, probably are not even aware that no matter whose face is on American currency - its just not worth much anymore. The value of the American dollar is rapidly declining. 

The U. S. Treasury Department recently admitted that it cost tax-payers 1 and 1/2 cent to manufacture and circulate 1 cent.

Honestly?

People cant we see where this is heading or are we comfortable sticking our head in the sand like we don't see what is happening to America from corruption within the system not terrorist from abroad.



                                                                         
Steve Jobs, February 24, 1955 - October 5, 2011, was an American information technology entrepreneur, inventory, college drop-out, and he practiced the religion of Zen Buddhism. He was the co-founder, chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of Apple Inc., and a member of The Walt Disney Company's board of directors.

Job's declassified FBI report says an acquaintance knew that Jobs used illegal drugs in college including marijuana and LSD. Jobs told a reporter once that taking LSD was "one of the two or three most important things he did in his life."

It has been said by many that LSD is a mind expanding drug.

Perhaps,  LSD helped Steve Jobs expand his mind enough to understand that you cannot love a God that you have never seen and hate your brother that you see everyday. Just like you cannot ride a bike with a square wheel, you cannot love and hate with the same heart - no matter how hard you try.

A total and complete change has got to take place.

Marvel not; ye must be born again.

                             "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 of Yeshua(Jesus) The Christ were in fear for the life of their son, it was only natural for them to take the well-traveled route of escape to Egypt in Af

 "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). G
