Most men are solution-oriented.

It’s not in our nature to sit and be lectured to about some feel-good shyt when the world is outside burning around us. That’s what Malcolm understood when he created two separate orgs after his spilt from the NOI. One of his orgs was more religious for those types and the other more secular for problem solving.

The Black Church needs to reimagine itself as a problem solver in the community, using scripture to guide.

Men will gravitate to the work being done.

But, asking men to show up so they can get their weekly dose of feel-good messaging is falling out of favor fast. Add the fact that we have to dress up for it and sit for hours. We’re good on that. Tradition has to evolve.
:wow: Couldn’t have said it better myself

A majority of the Catholic Church is a false church breh. It has too many similarities to Mystery Babylon.

There might be some real believers somewhere in the church but reality is they have a lot of pagan mixed with their teaching. This is why people need to read the scriptures for themselves.

Some of them teach praying to Mary like a goddess (Queen of Heaven). Some believe they are actually drinking the blood and eating the body of Christ in communion when it was meant to be symbolic and in remembrance of Christ.
Many other things they do.
Which sect of Christianity is the true one

Look at All of these dusty atheists talking down on the black church. When it the Black Church that provided safe haven for runaways, organized revolts, and taught them how to read. It was the Black Church that spearheaded the civil rights movement and many of the rights y'all currently enjoy. There should be constructive criticism in regards to the black church but going the atheist route is an expressway to dustiness. What worthy contributions have black atheists provided to the Black community?
Yeah but it doesnt do any of that shyt now. Its not needed anymore

This is interesting. I'm anti-religion but because it discourages critical thinking and has fukked up people for thousands of years, but these non-religious folks out here is going to the other extreme with no morals or discipline at all accepting homosexuality, and all kinds of fukkery..... :francis:

y’all love running with this narrative when churches have trustees to handle money.

Pastors aren’t even in charge of counting the money.
Coli militant atheists will ignore majority of pastors have regular 9-5 jobs just like their parishioners. Yall think every pastor is a TD Jakes, Creflo Dollar, Joyce Meyer etc.

My childhood pastor was a Greyhound bus mechanic during the week :russell:

They always want pastors to be broke. If a pastor is not taking advantage of his parishioners and has other sources of income, what's the problem? They don't have any problems when they buy jewelry from these Arabs and Indians who live in the lap of luxury. They don't have a problem with European designers being wealthy. They don't have a problem with all these European owned liquor companies getting paid while poisoning the community but they have a problem with a pastors who most are not living in luxury.
Do those guys claim to follow and represent a book that talks about how it's impossible for a rich man to enter heaven?

Not to mention that it was used by slavers to justify slavery.

I watched that movie Silence the other day and even though the movie is supposed to show the awful shyt the Japanese did to Christian missionaries during the 17th century, after I read more about the Portuguese attempts to bring Christianity to Japan before it was banned and they were prosecuted, I have to respect how the Japanese peeped game and unfortunately a lot of folks in African countries did not.

The Japanese didn't allow Christians to take hold because they viewed it as a way for European countries to try and colonize Asia. They already were in the Phillipines and parts of China at this point. The Shogun saw that folks would be more beholden to western Christian leaders like the Pope or christian societies instead of the Shogun and Japan. Other European countries even confirmed that Portugal had colonial intentions before kicking them out. Religion went hand in hand with enslavement and instituting another system of control outside of the leaders in your own country. Once you get the populace to be more faithful to your religion instead of their own country and leaders, they will welcome you carrying a gun in the name of Jesus to come and throw out their apostate leaders. The Bible always came before the gun.

Now look at us, we still have tons of folks in our community beholden to some religion from Europe.

The Abrahamic religions are not what YOU referred to as “religion from Europe”. Europeans adopted them, hijacked them, and utilized them for their evil agendas. We initially taught and educated them on it.
:what:

The Torah, The Bible, and The Quran all literally started/originated in Eastern Africa (Egypt etc.) and The Sinai Peninsula (which is still Africa).
:mjlol:

Smart/Dumb “militant” nikkas on TheColi are at it again. NEVER fails. Don’t be fooled by pictures of that phony white Jesus.
:pachaha:
