How Do Y'all Feel About Religion?

I don't literally believe Jesus is the Messiah, but if you read the OT and NT like Lord of the Rings, it makes perfect sense

Otherwise, what's wrong with the cultural things I've mentioned? Aren't you proud of those?

Straight down? How long have you been able to speak Igbo?

I never said I wasn't proud of those.

That's pride in your nation breh, that feeling is centuries of ancestors behind you

Our peoples whether in North or South America, are the products of betrayal and survival in the West

We share one race but it's made up of a hundred flags, I love our people's differences

One who fulfilled the law and he's the one bringing up Igbos, are they teaching him? Can he talk to them?

the term just means "anointed" like with oil

the association with "savior" is actually a falsehood


In his work on Genesis, and in the Vulgate, Jerome gives as the Latin translation salvator mundi "saviour of the world".[12] This Christian interpretation (reinforcing the ancient concept of Joseph as a type of Christ) is influenced by the Greek form of the name, Ψονθομφανήχ Psonthomphanḗkh and Ψομθομφανήχ Psomthomphanḗkh in the Septuagint and the Hexaplaric version, respectively. This, at least, is the suggestion made by Wilhelm Gesenius in his Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon.[13] Early Egyptologists have interpreted the name as equivalent to Coptic ⲡⲥⲟⲧⲙⲫⲉⲛⲉϩ psotmpheneh or ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲫⲉⲛⲉϩ psōtm pheneh meaning "the salvation of the age".[14]

Since the decipherment of hieroglyphics, Egyptologists have interpreted the final element of the name (-ʿnêaḫ, -anḗkh) as containing the Egyptian word ꜥnḫ "life"; notably, Georg Steindorff in 1889 offered a full reconstruction of ḏd pꜣ nṯr iw.f ꜥnḫ "the god speaks [and] he lives" (Middle Egyptian pronunciation: ṣa pīr nata yuVf[n 1] anaḫ).[15] Egyptologist Kenneth Kitchen, however, has pointed out this interpretation's shortcomings; namely, this name-type is unattested prior to the 11th century BCE while Joseph lived much earlier, and that this name type always mentioned a specific deity, never 'the god'.[16]

there is no such thing as "fulfilling the law" or "fulfilling the prophets testimonies"

thats like saying, i have brought to pass the fruit of a tree. It simply becomes fruit, ripens and then is eaten for sustenance

so when Jesus says "this is my body, broken for you as a new covenant. this is my blood shed for you as a new covenant" is metaphysical

and a new lense to contemplation and nearness to the divine.

i wouldn't because theres a problem that isnt understood by most christians, catholics included

and thats the "image of God"

because it says that God made "Adam" in his own image, after his likeness, male and female created he them

its implying that the image is both of them joined together (coitus)

so when someone says "anointed" they are trying to be in that place.

The intangible thing I have faith in and base my personal morals are is my race and ethnicity, I'm not religious

If I had to take Pascal's Wager, I'd finally get baptized and take the Eucharist instead of doing 🙅🏿‍♂️, I've made my theological bed breh; Black Catholics helped me appreciate the New Testament as a unique scripture

I'm back in school and all day, even during night class there's Moonies lurking about

I've been talking to one and I've heard a similar statement about God being yang and yin (her order, male and female obv) and their anointed being the "universal parents" (the late Rev. Moon and his recently arrested wife for bribery charges)

It's funny, last time I talked to one of them, they were complaining about Chinese immigrants in Japan and Korea, all while giving me some bootleg Hong Xiuquan bs :skip:

It doesn't because I don't believe in God

I get similar reasoning from lovebombers, my question is, if Black people believed in your findings, where would my children's children be?

did you believe in anything when you were born?

God simply said be, and you were.

thats why the term "Lord of Hosts" is used

in the old belief, God could be whoever he could be (and realistically should still be the same belief)

its only when you are on your way out that this becomes increasingly apparent, but likewise when you are just entering the world it is as this way too

in either case im not trying to berate you, just trying to open your heart and mind to what the Abrahmic belief should be construed as IMO

from my perspective none of the religions are far off its in its practice...its how often you are "God facing" that differs. Thats why the "fear of God" is the main thing people dwell on because thats often the only way people consider him but its probably not the way God would like to be always considered

IE if you only considered God just in mirror relationships that causes its own issue internally, but if you only consider God as a static idea that has its own problem but this is answered in this line allegorically

This is gibberish. I'm Jewish because of my ancestors and wanting to have a relationship with G-d. That's different from worldly affairs. I stand up for my people and donate to social causes. G-d is what helped me become a better rounded person. Just admit, you have a bias against Abrahamic religion. I used to be the same way

You can nation build and have religion.

Why shouldn't we have a bias against abrahamic faiths?

It was used to justify our enslavement.
