Black Spirituality Religion : THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN BIBLE

[Dual Karnayn]

I believe a hadith from prophet Muhammad goes something like this:

If you see someone drinking a glass of filthy water...

Don't take it from them and toss the water out.

Just place a glass of clean water next to the dirty and allow them to decide for themselves.

((no it didn't originate with the Malcolm X movie....lol))



You don't have to go to extremes in order to get people to accept the Bible, all you have to do is present it as clearly and plainly as possible and let people decide for themselves.


I'd settle for a Bible that's translated as LITERAL as possble from the ancient Hebrew and Greek.

Instead of God....I want to see Elohim or the plural "gods".

Instead of Lord...I want to see Adonay or Yahoowa.

Instead of Barabas.....I want to see Yeshua Bar Abbas.

If Jesus said THIS GENERATION will not pass before all the signs are fullfilled and the end comes....don't try to spin it to explain why the end hasn't come yet.


We need to stop trying to re-invent things to fit our own beliefs and just accept things as they are and move on.

Hmmmm.

According to Brother Clyde, much of the Bible already is African. So, we wouldn't need an "African-American" Bible.
