African spirituality & history is empowering & actually impacts how you eat,live,learn&grow to know the truth & not a lie everything they gave us is seeded with lies & made for us to be docile & victims waiting for someone or something that's not going to come & save us collectively we have to save ourselves
This is a great topic and conversation and Lisa the way you introduced personhood, power, prosperity, provision and peace is simply amazing.
This is REALLY needed
Thank you for this topic of series
Honestly my own problem with Christianity is how we put so much emphasis on worshipping Jesus when he said “Do not call me Good. Only our Father in Heaven is Good.” He put himself on equal footing while asserting that his way is THE way to God and ending suffering and achieving salvation - what the Buddha called Enlightenment. But somehow some of the early apostles misconstrued that to worshipping Jesus.
He didn't say, "don't call me good." He says, "why do you call me good?" (See Mark 10:18). Jesus didn't say that He wasn't good, he was making the point that because only God is good, and He was good, therefore He is God.
Jesus then goes on to answer the question of the man who called him "good teacher." To summarize, Jesus says if the man wants to have eternal life he should obey the commandments. Jesus lists the commandments about loving others (don't murder, don't steal, honor your mother and father, etc.) then He wraps up the commandments related to loving God by saying "sell all your possessions and follow me." Jesus saw that the man wasn't loving God and had made his money his god. Instead of saying "love God" Jesus says, "follow me." Following Jesus equals loving God. Not because Jesus was some guru, but because Jesus is God.
These tags like millennial don't even make sense we are individuals the crazy part about it is spirituality came before religion
We are who we are because they were. Other people call them saints and we call them ancestors. We all pray to the one above and we call him in different names.
That is why Jesus never came to establish another religion. He’s a King that brought a Kingdom ( that mirrors Heaven ). He is not equal with any other religious leader. He never called His followers “Christians.” We were labeled that by non-believers. When you label something, you limit the purpose of that thing. We were called to have Dominion in the all the earth, not just attend weekly gatherings.
Actually in the Bible people were called Christians it just means followed of Christ
What are you talking about ? Is there evidence for what your saying?
@@rickithelovingspirit6829 yea read the Bible specifically the book of Acts. Christian is in the Bible
Did Christ call us that or did man? He gave us power to become sons, not Christians. My point is that Jesus Christ was not sent by the Father to make us Christians. His focus was always the Kingdom.
@@brianford6309 you must not know what Christian means and Paul under the inspiration of the spirit called himself a Christian.
Open up the comments to “exclusivity vs inclusivity”
Nice
Had a problem viewing, but I agree with what I heard...
If Kemeticism is included in African spirituality, the fact that obvious similarities between ancient African concepts and those of Christianity are not being addressed, may have something to do with it...
The way Christianity has been presented in the West has tended to neglect the uniquely identifiable nature of it in the midst of common concepts, in my opinion...and excluded its relevance to the everyday life problems of minorities, if taken separately, living in America...
There are several ways to gain deeper access into the spiritual world, but that doesn’t mean they’re all right in the eyes of YAH. All I’m hearing in this video is “I don’t feel”, and selfish connotations. YAH didn’t make us for our own pleasures and glory, but for His and not only just to glorify Him but that we may find ALL things pertaining to life and godliness in Him. The Church has failed society, I don’t doubt that one bit, well let’s fix it a be examples of what we’re supposed to be instead of running to something else that “makes me feel good”. The easiest way to trick someone into to doing something u know they wouldn’t want to do is to falsely make them believe they benefit from it.
Yah is a mythological character. That is why you believe in him. Belief and faith are needed to accept mythology.. There is no use in telling us what yah did without first proving yah's existence. If you cant prove that yah existed or exists then no need in telling us what he did.
@@DJ-uc8mk do your thing homie.
@@ZoY33 Christians rather not deal with facts. Yall quick to give faith and mythology but when its time for yall to put them facts down, yall step aside... Yeah ima do my thing homie.
@@DJ-uc8mk 1. I don’t subscribe to Christianity
2. I choose not to pointlessly go back and forth with someone I don’t know, don’t have a relationship with, can care less about their opinions and thoughts, and someone I may NEVER even meet in my entire life. The facts are in the evidence and people choose to believe what they want to believe based on their perspectives of that evidence. Peace bro.
@@ZoY33 Peace and Love
Alot of what black people are calling African spirituality or kemitic has nothing to do with black people. Calling African people black is a modern term. Not used in ancient times. It's a term from the Spanish word for black. But they are not the color of black. The rich soil of the Nile actually is that's what the reference is too. If people are going to look for true African American teachings we'll do that. Stop coping of white occultist then giving it a new name.
Why does a tree have roots, to grow. Learn your roots and watch how you grow.
Sorry I absolutely agree that African Americans and Africans should return to West African spirituality. Also, sorry I don’t understand what race has anything to do with this. The race card is constantly jumped to. While race played the central role as to why African spirituality was taken away. Unfortunately evangelical Christianity lacks the logistics and theological capacity to address this topic which is clearly evident in this video.
Don’t judge people for something you don’t care to understand. Evangelicalism is just full of hot air. West African spirituality and Voudoun is 10,000+ years okd
All the people in the group never had a personal experience with Christ; they only went another way because they were never connected 🤓. I have had a couple of experiences; and I would be very stupid to turn and say, my relationship with Christ doesn’t fit my skin nationality 🤪! It’s like growing up with parents from different countries- relationship is not who you or they are- it’s about what is between you all.
Its difficult to speak on other people's experiences. This is why we deal with facts. Everyone has personal experiences and their interpretation of their personal experience. Kids even have personal experiences with santa.
I guess forcing people of a different Race to follow a religion forcefully was building a connection.
Even if there culture was based on respecting nature and helping others. 🤷♂️

The bible speaks 9of God's chosen people returning to the faith of their ancestors in the last days so it's all God's will
Religion freaksp
Any spiritual experience that does not have its origin and foundation in Christ, is antichrist.
1 John 4 1-5
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
You sound like a european
Amen brother
Anothen Williams. Afrikan people should ask ourselves question. What were black people doing before the bible. We're directly connected to the divine.
Amen
Amen.
You guys do the same thing everywhere you go you impose things on people do not lie it doesn’t worship the same way
No I understand it all too well !
