Part 12: The Ungodly Control of Black Preachers (Updated 11 August 2006. Editors note: all information in this series is taken from a Doctoral Dissertation that was rejected by the Political Science Department at Atlanta University now know as Clark AU in Atlanta, GA)
In the name of God, Master of the universe, Ruler of the earth.
Once again the FreedomJournal as a servant of Almighty God has been commissioned to bring the Believers a Word from God. We bear witness that we act only as an empty vessel, as a tool and instrument of Almighty God. As we walk in the Spirit, this power has called upon us to render these words. Therefore, for the record be wise and kind, for your disagreements, anger and/or refutations are in vain. We have no control over our conclusions, our direction, destiny and our purpose has been predestined by the Creator.
As man has sought to defile the planet earth, he has had a special interest in the Ministers of the Gospel. In this instance we are speaking of the Christians. Let the record also show that man has also sought to defile Islam, Judaism, African Traditional Religions and all other religions that exist on the planet earth.
The FreedomJournal as a Christian Free News Source has a primary responsibility to make an analysis of Christianity. Therefore as we look at Christianity from a Black perspective we see that Christianity has played an integral part in the exploitation of Black people. The early and/or the initial attempts to defile Christianity in Africa and the Western Hemisphere were done by those that sought to exploit the labor power of the Black man and woman.
For example the slave ship Jesus had a captain that read the Bible, prayed and fixed in his mind that God and the Bible sanctioned the enslavement of the people from "The Land of The Blacks." This wicked philosophy also became an important tool by which the slave master sought to control his slaves. Thus we see a wicked philosophy inspired by Satan and his Demons being used not to Uplift God but to inflate man's pocketbook. To do this they taught the slaves to honor their slave master. By honoring the slave master the slave was also taught an abnormal behavior that maintained respect for oppression and self-hatred.
An example of the impact and results of this philosophy is gleaned from an analysis of the life of Josiah Henson. Josiah Henson was the real life character that Uncle Tom was modeled after. For the record: "It is a lie that Josiah Henson was a positive character." Josiah Henson as a loyal so- called Christian slave led his fellow slaves through free territory back to slavery. He refused freedom for himself and other slaves because he had been taught a slave time Christian ethic of loyalty to the slave master.
Meanwhile many of you are probably asking yourself the question How and Why? The Why is for control and economic gain? How is found in the bosom of the first ungodly mis-led Black Preacher? The slave master hand-picked house Negroes like Josiah Henson as slave Preachers. Thus, House Negroes were told what to Preach and what to say to the other slaves. To get them to accept slave time ungodly Christian ethics the House Negroes had already been groomed to accept slavery and be thankful that they had a kind master. The story is told that this Christian slave time ethic was so powerful and real that the following is not an exaggeration. As the mysteries of our past unfold many stories are handed down due to the African tradition of oral history.
"Once upon a time on a plantation deep in the South lived a Master and Slave. When this Master laid upon his death bed, he called upon his loyal Slave. He said Toby I want you to promise me that you will join me in Hell. Toby replied Yes suh Master whatever you wants. Sho, Masser I will join you in Hell if that will please you."
Now, Toby was a Christian Slave. He had been taught to obey his Master because that was his Christian duty. However, the Bible says that one should prepare himself for the Kingdom which is Peace and Paradise. So for Toby to honor the slave master's request to join him in Hell is the classic example of Man putting Man before God. This is not the Christian way but the way of those that have defiled Christianity for material gain and to control and exploit other people.
From our analysis slavery has ended and the plantation system has been laid to rest. Yet the philosophy of control still resides in the hearts and minds of Satan's people. Many of these ungodly people continue to solicit people in the Black community to carry out the ungodly attack on the people of God. It is a crying shame that many of these people are so-called Preachers.
What is God's role for Preachers? How can a Preacher come to know his role? God's role is quite simple. The call to the ministry is a very special calling. This calling has few parallels with, for example, the professions of medicine and law. The most important distinction is that man calls himself to become a lawyer. Regarding the ministry the calling comes from on High. We don't expect the non-believers to grasp the call of God. However, those that have been under the Word that realize the essence of accepting God as the Ruler and Master of Heaven and earth understand what we are saying.
Therefore when the call of God comes, it comes for everlasting. God did not call Preachers to march for a few years during the Civil Rights Movement. Nor did God call the Preacher to become a politician or professional Civil Rights Pimp, Opportunist or a Charlatan who uses the Lord's name in vain.
