I'm sorry but no where in the Bible I own does it say anything about punishing the good and loving and rewarding the **** and venegeful. Was that what you were trying to say? That is says that in the Bible? Cuz i feel a tad bit off track here :? And I apologize in advance because I may not be as up to par on translation history of the Bible and what not but i dont know....that just aint sittin to right with me...i gotta do a lil research. but yea i dont know about all that european, ****, hypocritical god who saved from being "unholy savages" stuff. I believe there is one supreme God who is the color or water. I believe in the God that my great great great grandparents called on in their times of need during slavery. A merciful and all-knowing God who has been good to me and everyone on this board just for allowing us to wake up this morning. I dont know about the rest of that mess, but thats the God that I beileve in.
man i got class and ish, and yall want me to explain ish :lol: .....ok......here we gooooo...this may not make sense to any of yall, but i find it quite hypocritical that the bible will punish a man to eternal damnation for loving another man but yet as in today's current events....ok following me now...bush thinks by following the bible he is following god's word by killing innocent iraquis overseas and other people feel this way as well, especially other republicans...which i do not believe god meant when he said to "spread his word....folllllowwinnng me??...believe me i ramble so stop me if ya dont understand :lol: ...the god that bush and others seem to follow in america is a god who kills and is severly judgemental and is **** because of differences...and i dont believe in that type of god....now as i said before ethiopians were the first africans to practice the religion before the mid atlantic **** trade was even THOUGHT OF...and their bible that they received from the middle east and their god were a tad different than the one we were taught, well thats what historians said.....reason being, i dont know...but due to translation the european bible we hold so dear, that has been edited by the different european popes throughout the centuries with entire stories thrown out is the bible we cherish so dearly.....and i refuse to listen to something that may be potentially false and that has been interpreted and translated in so many different ways by the very people that meant to enslave our minds in the first place.....if i want gods word, ill hear it when i pray but i refuse to read the scripture to find his word besides its not necessary....another thing......i refuse to adapt the text that was forced upon us that has been edited so clearly to make slavery look as though "it was our destiny so we could receive his word" as automatically "good"...the only reason slaves embraced the bible was because we didnt have anything left of the remnants of our culture and different religions, and because we were told we were stupid, savage beasts for thinking of anything besides christ...i mean its not like we could practice voodoo freely in public especially since we could automatically be **** or whipped on the spot......ok maybe that didnt explain anything cause like im rambling :wink: but the point is...that with the way the religion is now with the war on **** and all this religious conservatism these days, its teaching us to hate and discriminate and i dont believe that the original purpose of the bible was to do that..and i believe it was tainted as soon as europeans touched their filthy hands upon it...until i know the 'true" original bible, im believing what god tells me in prayer
