FYI on Blacks in the BibleI am a voice crying in the wilderness. I am a writer and a researcher who used to live in Ethiopia, and I am contacting my friends, new and old, to share my research, which I believe shows at least a good chance that Jesus was/is black.....[more]
Believe it or not – and many will not – racism is making a serious come back in American society, and even more so in Europe, where racism is almost medieval - and we do mean evil; racial hate and prejudice among whites of the euro-stock against every other color and race on the earth, especially Blacks, is mounting....[more]
1. Yes, we are counting down to Armageddon's Prophetic Holy World War III. The United States of (racist white supremacist) America is creating the horrible conditions for this to happen. And real soon! Especially by the repeated dropping of heavy bombs, destroying other racial and ethnic groups homes, and the murderous killing of innocent Middle East Asian civilians; Iraqi & Afghanistan women and children....[more]
The beginning of time and humanity is a phenomena mankind will never know, despite what science or religious relics document or proclaim. The profound mysteries of life are hidden deep within the cosmos of time and existence and we, as a people, can only grow into its revelation. One thing is for sure and cannot be disputed, nothing is absolute, and that is a fact, (pun intended)....[more]
Logic, reasoning, or whatever else defines the absolute thought process of basic common sense was extremely defied when church leaders decided to classify their religious organization as non-denominational, which is an idiom if there ever was one. The concept, supposedly, is to distinguish themselves from all religious organizations and sects by claiming not to be of any religious denomination. However, that is exactly what they are, a religious denomination........[more]
Bi-Sect-Uality (The Churches) I am guilty, guilty, guilty, and I would be the first, middle, and last to stand against homosexuality. I heard there are many believers who are against bi-sexually, and are in constant prayer to bring about change. Um! It serves absolutely no purpose, and praying will not make this change.......[more]
Religion is Deeper Than Culture: On Being An African-American Buddhist Almost 13 years ago I emerged from a life of hellish suffering. I had been in and out of battles with eating disorders, suicidal depression and substance abuse, and I had dropped out of college. I found unshakable happiness within myself by embracing Nichiren Buddhism as a member of the Soka Gakkai International (SGI-USA).....[more]
Buddhism has been significant not only in India but also in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), and Laos, where Theravada has been dominant; Mahayana has had its greatest impact in China, Japan, Taiwan, Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia, Korea, and Vietnam, as well as in India. The number of Buddhists worldwide has been estimated at between 150 and 300 million. The reasons for such a range are twofold: Throughout much of Asia religious affiliation has tended to be nonexclusive; and it is especially difficult to estimate the continuing influence of Buddhism in Communist countries such as China.

I had a Vision some three years ago, and that Vision was not a pretty sight. Those of us who see with the Third eye understand Visions. Some people are ready to rebuke such a Vision and say that it is the devil. How is it when those Visions comes to past? Sounds like Truth and Reality to me.......[more]
Sun Myung Moon is the founder of the Unification Church (established on May 1, 1954, in Seoul, South Korea). With his wife Hak Ja Han, he is co-leader of the Unification Movement........[more]
The Bible mentions another Jesus - besides the one born as the Savior - that will be worshipped by a people misguided in the overall concept of the gospel of Christ, the message of religion, and the purpose of salvation. The passage is in the New Testament book of 2 Corinthians 11:4, and reads, "For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him".......[more]
Are you or a Family Member a Victim? The following statements, compiled by Dr. Michael Langone, editor of Cultic Studies Journal, often characterize manipulative groups. Comparing these statements to the group with which you or a family member is involved may help you determine if this involvement is cause for concern....[more]
A cult does not necessarily have to be a group of people that leads followers into suicidal destinies, but can be a local church or community organization that indoctrinates people's minds to believe in unnatural, immoral, and unrighteous acts and ideas. To understand the teachings of cultic groups, a person has to have a concrete knowledge of life and its workings, where humanity, justice, truth, and love are the foundation.
A moral sense is inborn in man and, through the ages, it has served as the common man's standard of moral behavior, approving certain qualities and condemning others. While this instinctive faculty may very from person to person, human conscience has consistently declared certain moral qualities to be good and others to be bad......[more]
One of the Islamic traditions, which will affect the way in which Muslim women respond to feminist ideas, is the advocacy in Islamic culture of an extended rather than a nuclear family system. Some Muslim families are "residentially extended" - that is, their members live communally with three or more generations of relatives (grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, and their offspring) in a single building or compound.....[more]
Katie Couric - co-anchor of the Today Show - did a report on the cultural lives of Iraqi women on the January 13, 2003 broadcast. Then she interviewed an Iraqi anchorwoman of supposedly equal status to herself. The report focused on the every day lives of Iraqi women pertaining to fashion, career, education and social freedoms. And the interview with the Iraqi anchorwoman, in which the anchorwoman was obviously on the defensive of her country's culture, consisted of a type of social "peer-pressure" questioning from Ms. Couric......[more]
The Arabic name for God, Allah, refers to the same God worshiped by Jews and Christians. Islam's central teaching is that there is only one all-powerful, all-knowing God, and this God created the universe. This rigorous monotheism, as well as the Islamic teaching that all Muslims are equal before God, provides the basis for a collective sense of loyalty to God that transcends class, race, nationality, and even differences in religious practice. Thus, all Muslims belong to one community, the umma, irrespective of their ethnic or national background. Within two centuries after its rise in the 7th century, Islam spread from its original home in Arabia into Syria, Egypt, North Africa, and Spain to the west, and into Persia, India, and, by the end of the 10th century, beyond to the east . In the following centuries, Islam also spread into Anatolia and the Balkans to the north, and sub-Saharan Africa to the south. The Muslim community comprises about 1 billion followers on all five continents, and Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world. The most populous Muslim country is Indonesia, followed by Pakistan and Bangladesh. Beyond the Middle East, large numbers of Muslims live in India, Nigeria, the former republics of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), and China.
