preaching (2K)Blacks, Homosexuality, and the Church


Growing up on the west side of Detroit in the 70s and 80s, there was one gay guy that we knew of and maybe one tom boy in a 5 mile radius, which contained 1 high school, 3 middle schools, and close to 10 elementary schools. Today, there is an epidemic of gay lifestyle reaching kids as young as 6 years old all across the nation. Something is wrong.....[more]



churchmoney (2K)The Church and Money


There is concern as to the methods the church uses to collect and spend money. Popular opinion is split on the enforcement of tithing and various fund-raising methods such as book, CD, and cassette tape selling by the church, in addition to conference admission, prayer line fees, and even indirect membership fees to some mega-churches. When these methods are questioned, many defend such practices as needed for the expense of church operation. But let us weigh the cost....[more]



Speaking Truth About Truth
By CyberRev.com

It takes boldness to speak the TRUTH; though not popular, it rules colorlessly and peacefully in love, over all. Imagine the greatest discovery of the world is Greco-Romanism has been finally uncovered as the culprit that "fooled the world" creating the top three hoax's:...[more]



churchdivided (3K)Religious Division: Segregation Amongst Ourselves
By Jeremiah Camara

Malcolm X once said, "the most segregated hour in America is high-noon Sunday morning." Of course, Brother Malcolm was referring to the segregation between the races. High noon on Sundays, unfortunately, finds the vast majority of Black people segregated amongst themselves....[more]



The Time To Build!
By Bro. Elijah Moses

As much as I try to suppress the feeling of resentment toward my own people, I am constantly supplied with another scenario to make me embrace my sentiment. There have been two occasions as of recent that has lit the match to propel me to pen this article. As devastating a disaster as the recent Hurricane Katrina was, I find it annoying that we again seek an opportunity to complain against the "system"....[more]



blkjesus (3K)What Jesus says about Tithing

Let us address the biggest untruth that any false preacher has ever told; that when Jesus was here on earth He was rich. Jesus was not rich when He walked the earth. The reason preachers tell people this is that Christianity means Christ-like, and Christians strive to be like Jesus, so preachers say this to get people to start thinking about how to get rich, as they claim Jesus was....[more]



WARNING - NOT MEANT FOR BABES IN CHRIST.


Tithing: In the Age of Grace
By C.R. Hamilton


Tithing in the age of Grace searches each phase of tithing throughout the bible. As the giving of a tenth to Melchezedek by Abraham, as an inheritance to the tribe of Levi during the period of the Law, these two theories cover the Old Testament. The coming of Christ and his standpoint on tithing, the early church and their methods of receiving money, up unto today's church and in what ways it practices tithing.........[more]



Know the Truth About Salvation

With so many religions in the world today, and numerous denominations in the United States alone, the chances of finding the absolute truth comes down to those who sincerely want it. An open mind is not the only thing needed in a search for the truth but an open heart that holds a desire for the knowledge of God, and a simple belief in the words that have been recorded about Him.

Know the Truth rightly divides the precepts of the Holy Bible in order to render a clearer picture of the will of God for everyone's soul salvation. Without complicated theories or hype about how to be saved, the booklet remains simple enough for even a child to understand. Again, all that is required on the part of the reader is faith in the word and promises of God, not in the author......[more]



Defiling the Temple

Christians are quick to tell someone who drinks, smokes, or does drugs that they should not defile the temple; the temple being their bodies, because God does not dwell in no unclean thing. In fact, Christians use this theory in this respect only, not entirely understanding what they are saying, nor what the Bible really means by defiling the temple. True, the body is the temple, but the body of who, the individual person or the church body of Christ. Most would say both, but let's look at the scriptures and search for the truth......[more]



Women Preachers

The once controversial issue of women as preachers and church leaders is no longer a controversy, but an accepted part of church organization. Because of society's paranoia of sexism in mainstream lifestyle and the forced hand of government policy, women have taken on many more leadership positions in the church in every denomination, despite what the Bible says on the issue. This is a classic case of the church's transformation to the standards of the world. Those who have infiltrated the church with such beliefs have twisted the words of the Bible to fit society's standards and their own desires.....[more]



churchdoor (3K)Inside the Black Church

Inside the Black Church is a brief look at the moral foundations and structuring upon which the new Black church is built. In today's society, the rapid growth of immorality that besieges our families, our youth, and our social relations as a nation seems to have crept deeper into the sermons of our pastors and has bled into the ears and minds of those who seek salvation. The churches are more and more practicing secular traditions and trends in order to capture the attention of anyone who may be a potential, paying customer in their huge, new mega-churches.....[more]



The Poverty Spirit

Many pastors have proclaimed the definition of the "poverty spirit" from the pulpits into the ears of their congregations, especially over the past 10 years. However, is there such a thing as the poverty spirit in the eyes of God, or is it a man-made doctrine pronounced upon church members?......[more]


Divine Propaganda

What a contradiction in terms! (I think!) When you consider the King James Version of the Holy Bible, describes the words of Christ Jesus the Nazarene as having been directly quoted: "My kingdom is not of this world:" (John 18:36) to then solicit "the world," through its very secular media (in advertising and commercial) outlets, to "attract" potential "church goers," just seems a little "misguided.".......[more]


whitesonly (2K)A Church Divided

Society is divided into factions primarily based on culture and racial background because by nature people who share similarities will collectively associate. Color, class, and educational background are subcultures in the nation, which proves this theory of nature. Whether we want to acknowledge it or not, these same variables divide the churches in the nation also, with denominational beliefs as an added factor. Is this wrong as in sinful, or is it ok as a law of nature?.......[more]


Pastor Pays for Integration


Below is an article found on USA Today about a pastor who extended an invitation to whites to attend his church for money. This is not a productive solution to religious integration for a number of reasons......[more]


Women Bishops


Because today's Christendom world has become caught up in the secularism of society, church leaders teach contradictory doctrine to unlearned believers which will eventually lead thousands of souls toward the darkness of Hell. One main contradiction of these teachings is the church's ordination of women as Bishops, which is a definite contradiction of the Holy Bible......[more]



How We Came To Be: - The Story of America's Black Nation

The greatest myth circulating through the minds of many people, both black and white, is that slavery was ordained as a benefit to the black man because it introduced him to Christianity. However, it is evident that the black man, during the time of correlated rule of Egyptian and Ethiopian nations along side the Roman and Israeli nations, already knew of Christ; therefore, there is no way Christianity was new to the black man nor slavery as a benefit for him. Slavery is for the benefit of the oppressor, never the oppressed.......[more]



Fried Chicken, Cadillac's, and Lipstick
By C.R. Hamilton

At the turn of the century throughout to the nineteen thirties and 40's, Afro-Americans relocated from southern plantations to urban ghetto's of northern cities. There they found a temporal paradise in which many strove to success through education, factory jobs, organized community and church affiliations.....[more]



Revelations on the Rapture

The Rapture is an event Christians regard as the day when the Lord Jesus Christ returns for His church, the body of Christ. The event unfolds like this: it will be a normal day and the world will be operating as any other day, when suddenly all Christians will disappear from the very spot they are standing before the eyes and to the amazement of anyone around them.

If the Christian happens to be driving a car, the car will veer out of control after it is abandoned. If two people are standing at a water cooler and one is a Christian, the Christian will miraculously disappear and their clothes will drop to the floor.

This event is a widely held belief throughout the Christian world; however, there are some things to consider....[more]



God and Country: Serving Two Masters
By CR Hamilton

The historical American slogan "God and Country" is an example of a double standard if there ever was one, especially in the context of American religious and political ideology. Understandably, countries like Israel, India, or China can claim this type slogan because they base their religious and political ideologies on the acknowledgment of an ancient Supreme Being; but America, in its current Christian religious and Capitalists political system cannot......[more]



Church Layoffs?

[The following article was found while Afromerica researchers were drifting the Internet. Afromerica will analytically dissect this article in an attempt to prove that American religion has gone totally secular. When you see Afro Interpretation that is us talking.]
