BLACK CHURCH IN DISTRESS: TEACHING FOOLISH DOCTRINES OF FORGIVENESS!

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

How can it be a religion if there's no central divine being?

Breh, religion doesn't have to have a divine being. Buddhism doesn't have a divine being neither does scientology

Buddhism is a philosophy too (unless you're talking about Shinto Buddhism which definitely has gods). Scientology has the "8th Dynamic" as it's supreme being. I wish I was kidding.

Don't worry, church sermons get tossed in the bushes after service is over

 

[Dameon Farrow]

The thing about the anti-religious argument that is most troubling, we supposed to feel Atheist are more credible than Christians. All you guys are doing is arguing to change one belief system for another.

One is generally based more around logic and understanding in relation to what one actively experiences. One wants you to take it all at a certain preordained face value. If it really was a simple as you are trying to make it out to be, there would never actually be room for discourse.

 

[Midrash]

The turn the other cheek thing is taken out of context from it's original meaning in Judiasm and 1st Century Jewish culture.

The scholar Walter Wink, in his book Engaging the Powers: Discernment and Resistance in a World of Domination, interprets the passage as ways to subvert the power structures of the time.[2] He says that at the time of Jesus, striking someone deemed to be of a lower class with the back of the hand was used to assert authority and dominance. If the persecuted person "turned the other cheek," the discipliner was faced with a dilemma. The left hand was used for unclean purposes, so a back-hand strike on the opposite cheek would not be performed. An alternative would be a slap with the open hand as a challenge or to punch the person, but this was seen as a statement of equality. Thus, by turning the other cheek the persecuted was demanding equality.

Wink continues with an interpretation of handing over one's cloak in addition to one's tunic. The debtor has given the shirt off his back, a situation forbidden by Hebrew law as stated in Deuteronomy (24:10–13). By giving the lender the cloak as well the debtor was reduced to nakedness. He notes that public nudity was viewed as bringing shame on the viewer, not just the naked, as seen in Noah's case (Genesis 9:20–23).

Wink interprets the succeeding verse from the Sermon on the Mount as a method for making the oppressor break the law. The commonly invoked Roman law of Angaria allowed the Roman authorities to demand that inhabitants of occupied territories carry messages and equipment the distance of one mile post, but prohibited forcing an individual to go further than a single mile, at the risk of suffering disciplinary actions.[3] In this example, the nonviolent interpretation sees Jesus as placing criticism on an unjust and hated Roman law as well as clarifying the teaching to extend beyond Jewish law.[4]

Religion culture and history is cool as shyt brehs, even if you're an atheist, a lot of it is worth checking out just for the fukkery alone. That shyt is BETTER than Game of Thrones. Cereal.

Anyone see Melissa Harris-Perry show where they discussed this topic? They spoke about how too soon the media was pushing this forgiveness video from the family

But what was interesting was that a panelist compared both Christianity and Judaism views of forgiveness. She said that Christianity request forgiveness for others who have done you wrong, without any restitution

While Judaism demands forms of restitution before forgiveness is considered. The panelist also mentioned that the "default forgiveness" stance of Christianity was an argument given to former slave owners as to why they shouldn't be afraid to free their slaves

Christianity seems to be a bunch of horse shyt

 

[SirShaktus]

Never believed in forgiveness of someone who maliciously hurt a person I care about.

No, I don't forgive you.

I hope you get ALS, Stage 4 prostate cancer and a ruptured nutsack.
I wish you Death by a Thousand Cuts.
I hope you die screaming.

At the very least, hope I don't get to you first.

The Bible isn't keeping negroes from doing what they want to do. Somehow it's not keeping some of these brothas from smashing women, smoking, drinking, or shooting up other blacks on the block or at the club, but now all of a sudden everyone is a strict Christian now. Considering that it's mostly women in black churches now, somehow they are now so powerful as to prevent anyone from doing anything. Yeah, aight.

Black folks aren't doing anything because they KNOW they are outmanned and outgunned, and really, what are you supposed to do against one lunatic who decided to kill multiple people? Shoot white folks who aren't affiliated with him?

 

[Medicate]

The problem is being religious in general.

I mean, as long as people think some divine arbiter of "justice" will come down and fix things, they're always going to be misled.

Our people have to learn still to this day that being Spiritual and Religious are two different things....Your "spirit" or "soul" will tell you to whip ass and get angry....your religion will tell you to bow down and forgive............

 

[kevm3]

Yeah, go ahead right into the Buzzsaw, because they've been WAITING for a race war for a long time. Them white boys have been taking their kids to the shooting range in the south and letting them get practice firing for a long time. These white boys, especially esotericists, have been wanting a race war for a LONG TIME. Even this shooter wanted a race war.

Why do you think there is such a vast disparity in reactions to riots, where black riots are met with military style police forces? They've been preparing for a race war for a long time and are encouraging it.



Look at who gets arrested in this training video

This is just common sense.... so the posters spitting otherwise may not even fraternize with the so called black community, even if they are black..... the irony is that if they came talking this same shyt in a hood near them, more than likely they'll get their teeth knocked down their throat from a so called Christian.....
