Hello Family,
We've all heard tell of the scripture that speaks about Jesus having feet like bronze and hair like wool ... right?
With this being the case, and if we believe those words, and we love God, and want to be like Him/Her ... wouldn't we all have wooly hair and be as dark as we could ... i mean ... so we could in fact, be in the image of God (that we've heard tell of)? Wouldn't we try to create children that look like God?
Wouldn't we embrace our wooly hair / dark skin, and flaunt it for the world to see?
I mean, we're the only people that have wooly hair and the darkest of skin, so shouldn't it be counted a blessing?
It seems that is the way things should be, based on the scripture given to us.
But that's not how it is.
In most cases, those of us who have wooly hair, straighten it. So much so, that our baby girls are subjected to pressing combs, relaxers, etc., at relatively young ages ... as soon as possible out of the womb ... to remove that wooly hair from their head ... the hair that is like God's hair. While simultaneously teaching our baby boys, that this is not what they should want for, that which is most like God. We live as though we are ashamed of the God in us.
Instead of us maintaining what we believe to be God-like in us, we opt to straighten, relax, and remove that wooly-ness from our bodies ... lighten / whiten our skin, and/or our children's skin ... by sleeping with those that most resemble the idol.
Is this a sign that we are actually worshipping an idol ... a white one with straight, thin, fine hair?
The fact that we run from our BLACKNESS, the darkness of our skin, doing all to lighten / whiten it ... is this a sign that we are actually worshipping a false idol in deed ... while we worship the Creator in word alone?
What if only those who maintained themselves in the image of God, wearing their wooly hair, doing nothing to lighten themselves or their children ... what if only those made it into "heaven" ... as all others were considered to be worshipping false idols, and found unworthy?
Would this make any difference to you?

ps ... i really don't believe they meant to leave that scripture in the Bible, about bronze and wooly. I think they'd already printed a trillion copies, before they realized their error. That scripture alone, gives us so much power. But unfortunately, we've not used it to our advantage, so to them ... no harm, no foul. Even though it says that, we still prefer to worship them.
Even if the scripture is not true, we know ... because they say ... that we are the original children of the garden ... our Ancestors ... made in the image of God ... yet that's the last thing we want to look like. Modern Day Eunuchs.
