It’s been a long complicated twisted road since that alleged “allegory” about Adam and Eve and a serpent in the Garden of Eden, and it came to a decided head with the onset of the European Americanized version of racist Christianity on slave plantations, and also with the installation of a “white” Catholic Jesus dressed in Roman garb and criss-crossed sandals.

When one particular female asked me how I dared to compare Christianity to all of the other “false” religions out there, I gave her a blow-by-blow explanation about why I saw it that way. Forget the differences, because they are so minor and dense and undetectable that they can’t be seen even if you used a 100,000,000x magnifier scope.

Ponder this…

1) The setup of false idols who were used to replace the One and Only True Son of God and Messiah–the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. They ranged all the way from Buddha, Muhammad, Yogi, the Dalia Lama, William J. Seymour, Charles Taze Russell, Joseph Smith, and White Roman Jesus along with all others, who really are all one and the same as far as historic mythology goes.

2) The fact that ALL religions are man-made and NONE of them were mandated by any scriptures of The Holy Bible or any other version of it. Yet, Black Americans who call themselves Christians have not set the appropriate boundaries between themselves and what is false in the world, which means it does indeed condone those actions and behaviors through acceptance of them.

Where there is scripture that says “God is no respecter of persons,” there is no reason to believe that He did not mean just that.

There are no scriptural foundations or mandates for any religious enterprise or venture in the world, Christianity included. That the converted “Jews” [BEGAN TO CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS] in Antioch, Greece, was not a stable foundation upon which to build a religion of any kind. It was a name, or a title, of a group of people who gathered there and called themselves that–it was not a set of scriptural instructions with which to start building factious churches upon sandcastles and houses made of cards.

3) All religions are a little bit of truth mixed in with about 9/10ths human error and fallacy regarding the Spirit (Father), Nature (Son), and Wisdom of God (Holy Spirit), who created ALL humanity beginning with some very Black folks in the Garden of Eden that we now know as “Adam and Eve”.

If anyone can prove that our Lord and God was a murderous racist who believes that nothing trumps rich white people and material riches and self-serving vanity and who believes in the starvation of families and children, the prosperity gospel, and that no one except rich whites are entitled to federal and state tax money and medical assistance, then Christianity American-style is, in fact, the be-all end-all of ‘godliness’ in the world. The truth of it is “Atheism is preferable” to that mess.

Note: You can forget about the ones who say “you can’t judge all Christians by the bad ones.” Well, the so-called ‘bad ones’ are controlling the narrative and doing all of the talking and acting, and that says all it needs to. Those who do nothing about it agree with and endorse it.

4) True Christianity, as it was founded during ancient times, came out of Hebrew converts in Jerusalem, now known as “Jews” in the American vernacular.
These “Jews” were not European-born nor European bred, and they most assuredly were not a white-skinned people by any stretch of the imagination. The original scriptural version of the religion called Christianity was already firmly in place long before Saul’s conversion on the road to Damascus (Syria).

It is said that Saul, l/k/a the “Apostle Paul”, writer of the letters of the Bible called ‘the Pauline epistles’, was the cornerstone and founder of the Roman Catholic Church. In turn, the Catholic church was the foundation of all of the protestant churches (any church that was not Catholic), which was the foundation of all of the inter- and non-denominational churches who now claim a complete “disconnect” from the Church of Rome. They can lie about their origins, but they can’t change history.

The Apostle Paul was not, in fact, the founder of the Roman Catholic church. It was founded and rooted in pagan belief systems and heretical superstitions that were constants and ‘the norm’ in Rome prior to its fall. Though many say that Christianity was one of the prime 10/ten factors of the fall of the Roman Empire, others say Rome never fell completely, but melded into the Byzantine Empire that grew out of Rome later, but was never quite as powerful nor influential in human dealings.

Either way, true Christianity did not come from Rome, it was a title given to converted Hebrews from Jerusalem long before Paul came along. Paul was just one of many of those converted Jews. He was raised as a traditional Jewish man in Tarsus and educated in Rome, where he also worked. He was, therefore, the most logical choice we can think of to begin the spread of the gospel of the Messiah throughout Europe beginning in Greece and Rome. He was spiritually and physically and educably connected to all of it in many ways, and his own life formed a “bridge” of sorts between two worlds — that of the Jew and the Gentile. However, that did not make him the founder of the Catholic religion. He founded no religions at all. None of them. And he ultimately died the way he lived, beheaded while spreading what the Roman empire considered to be a form of heresy against their various “gods” at the time.

Those pagan Roman gods got mixed up in the Roman Catholic form of Christianity and that is what was passed on to Black America through slavery in the form of lies and superstitions; not the real deal that came “Straight Outta Jerusalem”.

5) Black people from out of Northern Africa and the Far East are the founders of all of the five major religions of the world with following believing populations of at least one million to over a billion people. Those include: Christianity, Judaism, Hindu, Buddhism and Islam.

Back in the 1980s, I watched as Black people began to fall away from traditional churches and started to latch on to heresies that had more to do with gnosticism than faith in God. Money and the getting of material goods through a philosophy about “tithing” became the religious scheme theme of nearly every service that got caught up in this charismatic teaching. How would I be watching? I got caught up in it, too; and have since returned to a Black historical traditional church after 25 years.

T.D. Jakes ministry, as well as the many MANY before him where he learned these theories, grew out of biblical distortions at Rhema in Broken Arrow and Tulsa, Oklahoma, (Kenneth Hagin and Kenneth Copeland and Marilyn Hickey, Kathryn Kuhlman, et al) regarding physical “healing” and the giving of money and financial resources in order to get personal favors and cash benefit blessings from God, as if the Bible itself had suddenly become a Holy Vending Machine and the Word of God a pair of no-lose die to be tossed in Vegas. Dr. Charles Stanley, Norman Vincente Peale, and all of these others bought into these erroneous teachings that are starting to fall apart in this day and age and sink like the Titanic.

The history of all of those pentecostal/non-denominational teachings can be traced back to the early to mid-1800s and found rooted in the heretical teachings of Smith Wigglesworth and before him, a woman by the name of Florence Scovel Shinn “The Game of Life and How to Play It.”

Of course, what would a white christian fallacy be without a Black faction to copy it from, especially since Black folks are the originators of everything the world knows, even the Arabic numerical chain and the Sumerian alphabets that comprise any and all languages the world over?

The entire “snake-dancing coals of fire on the feet and tongues of fire” religious tradition that backed the Pentecostal movement from which these earlier philosophers rooted began at what is now known as a movement out of the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles, California in the early 1900s.

There is, in fact, a real Son of God –a man who called Himself “the Son of God”–and He is discussed in several OTHER texts that were not part of nor written to be part of the Bible; however, as the world prepares itself to be purged of false teachings and the worship of pagan gods, as well as catholicism and superstitions, it behooves us to take heed.

The Lord God Most High is throwing these false “christian” prophets and other false religions, including modern-day Judaism and all others, underneath one bus after another.

They are falling apart, and the world is becoming more atheist by the moment, with more Black people now adhering to atheism than ever in the history of America. With these religious throwaways goes the superficial teachings that have somehow surfaced under the guise of being “godly christian” belief systems. Those systems are based on “revivals” of what was one-time events descibed in the scriptures that were never again repeated in the history of mankind. Dredging them up for repeat ritual command performances does not make them real.

None of them were instituted by God, and too many people are being victim-shamed into these false beliefs, and far too many more than that are also being told how “weak” their faith is when they try out these magical spiritual machinations, like “seed faith manifestations,” and discover they don’t work because they aren’t supposed to.

Ask yourself how today’s christianity could end up being largely represented by money-changer in the temple salesmanship-spawned pastors who can merge “eff you” into their sermons and laugh off President Baby Christian, who has fantasies about screwing his own daughter and talks publicly about grabbing women’s lower female parts and then still feel perfectly alright with their position in the Gospel of Christ.

They are excusing this behavior and laughing it off as “human nature,” but the Word of God says “Be ye perfect as I am Perfect,” thus saith the Lord God of Hosts. There IS no excuse for any of it–even for those who say “I stand in no position to judge others.” Many who dare to walk into a room and declare themselves “Christians” will soon be found to be anything BUT, because a real Christian doesn’t have to announce it to anyone. The real deal never has to announce itself to a room full of people, or even to one other human being.

The root is known by the fruit , so a person perfected in Christ is easy to spot in a crowd without them having to say a mumbling word about it. Watch what they DO and not what they say. Believe people when they SHOW you who they are; all who appear to the naked eye to be “weak” in their faith are not.

Many people inside the “charismatic christian movement”, before fault-finding with folks whose beliefs don’t match theirs exactly and note for note, need to take a good long hard look in the mirror.

The enemy within is something to behold.
