To receive God's love doesn't require doing things in the dark, secret scripts, twisted scripts, let alone being screamed at. God wants you to have all his love. He's a jealous God.
Congratulations! I am so glad that so many of God's children are hearing His voice and coming out from among them. You have done the right thing regardless of what anyone says. Your LBs will not be standing with you when you have to give your account to the Lord on judgement day. All the work that you did for A Phi A is null and void and not recognized by God. Only what you do for the Lord will stand. Holy Spirit will never steer you wrong. Everything you are saying is facts. I pray more sister and brothers start to recognize God's voice because He is always talking to us and trying to get our attention. Only love to you and your family. Let Him use you. -Former member and current Denouncer of sgrho
Praise God for opening your eyes to this truth! Your life just received an upgrade. May others who hear your testimony follow in your footsteps. Blessings unto you!
Adrian - 22 years - it’s a very long time but your path to the Most High got very much shorter. May you continue along the narrow path in Jesus’ mighty name. 🙏🏿
Thank you for sharing. Section 15 hit me man as that is the part of the ritual that I have thought of first since I have began this journey to denouncing alpha. My wife denounced aka about a year ago. She did grad chapter and I did undergrad chapter. A big part of me feels so guilty for leading her to aka and almost making it seem like it was a rite of passage. God please forgive me for that. My wife has been very supportive and has allowed me to walk my path with Christ and yet has held me accountable for progress. The time is now for me, and I thank you so much for sharing your story and am very happy for the peace you have attained.
Brother, praise God! The part of the ritual before the actual ceremony portion where it talked about where the name A Phi A came from was another mind blowing thing. I’m super thankful you have your wife to walk through this with you. I too felt extremely convicted having led sooo many people to Alpha including my cousin and mentee just a couple months before I decided to walk away. But God will have the final say. Blessings
Absolutely & Amen my brother!! God is absolutely pleased and all of Heaven is rejoicing!!! Thank you for your boldness, humility and obedience my friend!!!! You have full support of the true body of Christ and God Himself!!!!! Trust me, you and so many others that are denouncing & renouncing, are helping to tear down satan’s deceptions and lies, and helping others be just as bold and serve Jesus in full!!!!!!
Amen brother! I give God all the praise! I’m one vessel striving to be obedient and to help reclaim souls for Christ! Keep covering me in prayer good brother!
Listen bro! Just did my video a few weeks ago, was very encouraged to hear your story and to see how similar they are. Came from a Greek family, but very proud to walk fully with my Kingdom family. Key point that I loved you made is that this is nothing against the individuals but the organization seemingly to be based on Christian principles. Dying at all the things you said was your response lolol that was me too, don’t send me no videos that’s their business 🤣🤣
That’s awesome sis! First and foremost praise God for your obedience!! TBH I used to dog the mess outta folks speaking against D9 and at the beginning of this year I wouldn’t watch a denouncing video because I didn’t feel like it related to me and that was those people’s issues they dealt with. But as I started to change my heart posture and to actually go deeper in Christ, the veil was torn and I was like 😬😩😭oh this ain’t good at all! Let me encourage you though that even through the “grief” of losing that “connectedness” with D9 folks I saw just how surface and out of touch I was and God has been surrounding me with like minded brothers and sisters that diligently love Him. I’m thankful for you and excited to support you on your journey to freedom sis. The peace is amazing here! 🙌🏽
It was the THEY ALL HAVE THEIR OWN gods for me. That alone is scary. God bless you and your family.. There's only ONE GOD. I also pray that God releases me from any binding covenant, belief, understanding, relationship and all that is not of God. Sometimes we don't even realize what we've allowed to enter into our lives. Be blessed
Saw you on the first Unveiling series in October. Thank you for sharing about your obedience and shedding light on how people often pledge in ignorance.
Thanks Adrian, your honesty and denouncement about your Alpha / Fraternity experience is reaching follow brothas and sistas out here. I have a good friend who I have known for over 16 years and we grew up in the same church as young adults and another ‘associate’ both who has been inviting me out to ‘public’ Alpha events for the past 5 years. Things appeared ‘on the level’ at first, but I started noticing things that did not sit well in my spirit, especially after attending both a probate as a guest and a co-Ed Alpha and AKA gala event. Let’s just say, me and 5 other ‘prospects’ were verbally hazed where the officials used the N Word and called us motherf*ckers because ‘we did not know all the knowledge of Alpha’ I shocked and stunned 😳 😳😳 for a ‘professional’ Black fraternity to use that type of toxic and hostile language against another fellow Black men. Mind you, there were other chapter officers in attendance of this hazing that did not correct nor hold other officers to an account who were trash talking at us. And mind you also that the gala was supposed to be fun event and not some ‘I’m on line or smoker interview’ That’s my experience and may not reflect everyone’s experience, but It is so sad to keep hearing similar offenses like this. I was so turned off, but ironically, some of the other ‘prospects’ were still interested in joining and I was like ‘nah bro, I’m good’ 😢
Wow! Thanks for your honesty as well. I can fully confirm that the type of rhetoric you experienced is not uncommon at all! Praise God you saw through it and were led to move on. I’ll be praying for the other brothers as well and pray that they get revelation behind the true essence behind these organizations. They all appear awesome on the surface but when spiritual eyes are opened it’s very clear it’s not of God. I urge you to continue seeking the Lord for clarity in other areas that may need to be revealed or exposed. At the end of the day, we all need to do all we can to ensure we’re in right alignment with our Heavenly Father. Blessings.
You mentioned you joined some 22 years ago, so I know your running with my generation. I must say this has been a very complete and analytical depiction of the D9 system and your testimony of powerful reflection. Thanks for sharing bro.
God bless you brother and your family in Jesus Name, Amen. BLESSINGS are coming just from your testimony. PLEASE make more videos! You are a great teacher and leader. Looking forward to seeing more from you! Blessings!
Adrian, long time no see! Thank you for recording your testimony for others to hear and process. I didn’t think that I would watch the whole thing, but I definitely heard you out and appreciate where you’re coming from. God bless you and your family, bro! Thank you for telling your story while pointing people to Jesus 🙏🏽. Next time I see you, we are still brothers!
Very interesting comment. Hadn’t thought about that. I do like teaching or more so empowering people in general so perhaps. Thank you for watching. I pray you found some relevance. Not sure if you’re a believer or not but I encourage you to seek a relationship or at least a deeper one with the Heavenly Father. He loves you and desires a relationship with you. Blessings
@@Atemple7 yes us seeking Christians would love to subscribe and learn from you. You have a good way of elaborating to the people. I’m a true believer .im writing a book and exposing frats and soros are one of my important topics. I’m from a city that’s engulfed in different kinds of Greeks. Growing up we all wanted to be frat because it’s all we saw but thanks to you Good Sheep Exposing the truth we chose the narrow road instead so thank you also ☦️
This was heartfelt, and thorough. Thank you for sharing your journey. Btw, I'm looking to attend OU for grad school. I'm all geeked up about it. Lol. I had thought about sharing my interest with one of the orgs in OKC, but perhaps I will reconsider all thinfs before moving forward. Thank you again for sharing.
I appreciate you watching bro. I only ask that you don’t just take my word for it and find out for yourself (not joining one of the orgs but) by doing in depth research. I am willing to share any resources but the best resource is the word of God! Before you do anything, just pray and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to you. Blessings
I pursued alpha for over two years and it was the most humiliating experience of my life. The trauma and turmoil that I went through during intake was excruciating. The verbal and mental abuse that I went through is much worse than physical. Then to make matters worse I was voted out at the second to last week, then I was blackballed while trying to join another chapter. I’m realizing that this was probably Gods protection. As a grown man with a wife and child, the members didn’t care about the horrific way I was treated, even by the district director. My family suffered because of the time I spent in meeting with the line learning info and going to events. I’m still going through healing but I’m glad that I’ve realized that God is enough and I don’t need a fraternity to be validated. BTW the KING Movement is a great Christian based brotherhood founded on Godly principles that I’m thinking about joining.
@@jwilliams7554 Thanks for the vulnerability King. I agree with you that perhaps God protected you from joining in spite of the turmoil you experienced. If you haven’t done so already, I’d encourage you to renounce and denounce any covenants you did make as you were trying to join the organization. We enter into covenants all the time with things and people contrary to the word of God. I’d also caution you to take that other organization before the Lord and ask for direction to see if it’s something that lines up with who He is. Remember, Alpha and the other D9 orgs were “founded on Christian principles “. At least that’s what they all say. I also said the same thing for years. God sometimes has a way of getting our attention to remind us that He is all we truly need. Blessings to you and your family and I pray that God’s light shines brighter than any other. Clarity, healing & peace in Jesus’ name. 🙏🏽
I am not greek, but contemplating pursuing it. I have a few questions. Would you say organizations such as The Links, 100 Black Men, Jack and Jill, etc. also fall into this realm? Second question....do those of you denouncing also denounce the fact that you have, or maybe still do, pledge allegiance to the flag of the US? Have you asked for forgiveness for doing that?? Finally, for those of you in the military, the law field and even the medical fields....aren't you required to take oaths?? How do you get around each of these scenarios?? It doesn't all make sense to me. Many thanks
Great questions and hunger for knowledge is extremely vital for growth. Just make sure you vet the sources of truth. For me the primary source of truth has to come from the Word. As a believer, all truth should come from the true source, Jesus Christ. As for the Links, 100 Black Men, Jack & Jill, I can’t really speak on those as my knowledge base is very low when it comes to those orgs. As with anything, I urge you to ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to the truth of whatever org you are interested in. As a former member of D9 and having done a lot of research into them all, I would highly advise against pledging any part of yourself to those orgs as every single one has its identity & rituals tied to demonic things. When I pledged at 19, I had no real reference to spiritual warfare or demonic activity even though I had been in church my entire life. Sure, I googled info on the organization and talked to a few people but the info I gathered was purely surface. At the time, I knew of no one in my family that was “Greek” so I had very little to go on. I made decisions with the knowledge I had met with the longing for brotherhood I had due to my own blood brother had been locked up for a number of years. When going through our rituals, I recall several things that felt anti Christ- like but I also would fall back on the notion (lie) that the organization was founded on Christian principles, etc which is also something that I proudly spoke on for 22 yrs spouting the same misguided rhetoric. I was also busy tryna ‘live my best life’ so definitely was all the way bought into the things that being “Greek” afforded me. My entire identity was funneled through me being an Alpha. Thank God for his redemptive love and my spiritual awakening. To address the other things, when I denounced being an Alpha, I denounced any and everything that exalted itself against the knowledge of Christ and any spiritual covenants I had made. I’m in the medical field as a sales rep and an oath isn’t required. However, I have been apart of other organizations that didn’t necessarily require oaths but expressed honor and exaltation of other things and ancestral worship, etc which ultimately didn’t align with my spiritual beliefs so I parted ways and yes asked for forgiveness. I know this is long but I’m an open book and suggest you email me if you have further questions. I’ll give you all the resources I have so you can make the best decision for you. Atemple7@gmail.com.
I’m in the medical field and military. I’m also an ex OES member and ex AKA. The military & medical oaths are completely different. (Although your trees should be yes and no should be no.) We didn’t bow at altars, twist scriptures, learn secret handshakes, do rituals over dead bodies, pass candles in dark rooms etc. 😂 I don’t think y’all know what goes on behind closed doors. You need to listen to more denouncing videos and read more scriptures.
What's up sis! You know we go way back! Been growing a lot spiritually and gaining new perspectives as it relates to my my walk and realized D9 didn't fit in the equation for me any longer. You're my sista regardless and I luv ya!
Adrian, and other Alphas who are also denouncing, let me get y'all 'nalia then! Don't throw it away, send it to me. I'll cover shipping costs or you can hand em off to my people in the DFW! Let me know...
All of that stuff was disposed of. All 3 - 33 gallon trash bags full. It was important to me that anything that I owned and accumulated over the years ceased to exist as did any tie to Alpha. Handing it off to someone else, to me, felt like leaving remnants when God called all of me, not pieces of me. I pray that you are to able to search your heart and in submitting all of you, find a deeper level in Christ. Blessings good brother.
"When we complete community services who's getting glorified?" God shares his glory with no man/woman, false Greek god that don't exist, idols, graven images. Isaiah 42: 8 KJV 8 I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Amen! That’s my point. The orgs say they are doing good and even doing the Christian thing but the orgs get the credit more so than God thus creating another example of obvious idolatry.
I’m glad folks are following their hearts and leaving. The true works are for those that do the daily business of Alpha. I am a strong supporter of Alpha since 1997. Dr. MLK a doctor of theology was an Alpha and I know he wouldn’t do anything to dishonor God. As an OU grad and lifelong Alpha I say bye and best wishes to you.
Good brother, what do you deem as the “true works”? Also, what do you consider to be the “daily business of Alpha”? Regarding the MLK comment, you can’t say what that man would or wouldn’t do. If the measure of that statement is the fact that he was a theologian, a Preacher and/or a Doctor, I strongly encourage you to look deeper. There is so much on the surface that people tend to gravitate to while being oblivious to the spirit behind things/individuals. I didn’t personally know MLK and as a former Alpha, I spoke very highly of him for years as an esteemed member of Alpha. But what I’ve learned over the last 15 months has taught me how to have a better understanding of spiritual things and I’ve been able to see just how many “esteemed” men/women lack spiritual depth for whatever reasons. When the Bible talks about the people perishing for a lack of knowledge I believe it was in reference to understanding how spiritual laws affect our daily lives. Perhaps this isn’t the platform to discuss this but please look deeper brother. And if you’re a fellow Sooner, than Boomer Sooner all day my guy! It’s all love and I just want to enlighten all of my brothers and sisters of what the Lord has shown me all so He can get the glory. Blessings
@@Atemple7 See this is my point. If you were a member for so long you should know the true works of Alpha are centered on MANLY DEEDS, SCHOLARSHIP, and LOVE for all mankind. Your position would make just about any organization ungodly. The purpose of most Greek organizations is to build a network of people who will promote service. Service to a school, to other brothers, and to the community. As for MLK it is a fact that he was an Alpha. It’s a fact he was a preacher. It’s a fact he was a Theologian. I’d imagine that most people would consider him a nobleman. Your stance would make being a lawyer, physician, military all ungodly because each took an oath and each have their own requirements for acceptance. God created us to build His Kingdom….social organizations is a way to reach others. I wholeheartedly respect your decision but I would offer you and anyone else to dig deeper into what these organizations truly stand for. God Speed and many blessings to you Sir.
@@billyclark4838 Bro I have dug deep which is what made me leave the organization 😎. No one and I mean NO ONE needs an organization to provide service to a school, service to any individual or to the community. Please let me know of 1 entity that requires affiliation in one of the “Greek organizations! I never discounted MLK as an Alpha, Preacher, etc. Yes those are facts but what isn’t a fact is your opinion on his level of spiritual understanding and knowledge. I know many pastors, bishops, etc that are members of the D9 orgs and I pray all of their eyes are opened to the deception that exists at the roots of their organization. Trust me, I’ve been in church my entire life and even when I was in undergrad smoking, drinking and sexing all over the place, I still got my butt up and went to church, served in the church, obviously served in the community, sang in the gospel choir and may other “manly deeds”. On top of that my dad is a pastor. And guess what my brother, I STILL was misinformed and it wasn’t until I truly started to get a deeper understanding of the things of God that it became abundantly clear that the oaths I took to the “spirit of Alpha” and simply to Alpha was in direct contradiction to the word of God that I profess to live by. There is absolutely no condemnation to anyone still in the orgs but for anyone that is a professed believer in Jesus Christ then we are to judge righteously according to the word/will of God. Just like the Lord allows us to make our own decision of whether or not to live for him, each member of the D9 orgs and ANY other secret society requiring memberships and oaths must decide whom they will serve according to the word of God, not society or man’s standards. Again, I will not condemn anyone as it literally took me 22 yrs to see for myself. The word does say that each man must work out his own salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12-13). All I can do is be a voice and a vessel which I will gladly and loudly do until my time here is done. There seems to be a sincerity in your position and I’d even welcome further discussion. I’m not a fan of lengthy discussion on social media platforms but also understand that transparency can be a blessing for others as well. Feel free to email me atemple7@gmail.com.
@@lancegolden8190 I’d first ask who or what gives you the right/authority to say what God needs to be doing or worrying about? TBH, God wants nothing more than to have a relationship with all of his created beings. Assuming you’re a believer in God and Jesus Christ, the word of God is what every believer should live by while using the Holy Spirit as the resource that sanctifies us. The word is also very clear on having any other Gods before him. That doesn’t just mean bowing down before physical statues. All D9 frats and sororities are founded on things absolutely contrary to scripture as well as any other organization that have rituals requiring oaths and allegiance to any other entity. If it doesn’t make sense to you than perhaps there’s another conversation that we should be having regarding what Jesus Christ really means to us as believers and what serving him really looks like. That’s the important part and the most valuable take away from this video. Willing to have a conversation with you. Either way, you be blessed and know that God loves ya! Blessings
@@Atemple7 Enjoy your day. I guess we all interpret that Bible book differently and that’s why thier are so many denominations within Christianity. Even Bible scholars don’t agree because if they did you would not have, COGIc, Baptist, Fundamentalist, SDA, Jehovah witness, Catholic and on and on. We even have the MAGA Christians trying to give us our first Authoritarian Dictatorship in USA.
It’s only shock for you. Lack of discipline, commitment and brotherly love is a great reason for you to move on…you won’t be missed. May God’s grace and mercy continue to bless your endeavors.
It’s okay to disagree. You are more than free to hold on to whatever opinion you choose just as you are free to actually walk with and follow the word of God or not. The only name I will answer to, in fact, the only name we will all answer to at some point is the Lord God almighty. I sincerely pray your heart and walk are in order when that day comes. Blessings good brother.
I haven't seen anyone in any of these denouncing videos apologize for abusing other black people to join their organizations. Did God not also say that was wrong as well?
It’s all wrong. My focus in this video was on the spiritual implications of being in the orgs. I’ve been on other podcasts/panels/videos where I have apologized for all the people I influenced into becoming a member which is a lot of people. I never really focused on apologizing for beating on other Black people and it wouldn’t matter if they were Black or any other races. TBH, while each org verbally and incessantly claims to not being a hazing org, it’s all a lie. Also the people that decide to join the orgs, including myself made a conscious, intentional decision to subject themselves to that type of harm. It is definitely one of the dumbest decisions I ever made although I felt completely justified and encouraged to join. But again, the spiritual implications are far worse than any of the physical or psychological effects in my opinion. I pray that you found it insightful. Blessings
I agree that it's all wrong. I understood the intent of the video, that's why I highlighted a pattern that I've noticed that wasn't specific to, but included your video. Physical and psychological abuse shouldn't be understated because of the way it didn't impact you, it could have a very different effect on someone else and impact their ability to be reached when you are looking to address their spiritual well being. Something to consider. Best of luck on your continued spiritual journey.😊
As a brother of Alpha Phi Alpha...I'm curious. How far are you willing to go and denounce not just the Fraternity but everything that has potential ties to anything similar to it that could affect your walk and lineage? Are you willing to denounce all of the money in your bank account? Checking, savings, retirement, wages from your employer/business...the same money you use to tithe with? Because the very dollar and money that forms the basis for your income is littered with Masonic/Egyptian symbols-on purpose, not accident. Are you willing to move to another country as the founding fathers of this country and the dollar bill were Masons? Do you wash it all "under the blood" and keep using money as well as continue to live in the U.S.?
Valid questions sir. The reasoning for me denouncing my membership in the fraternity was way more than me choosing to leave an organization because it had ties to masonic/Egyptian things. The most important reason was because I, Adrian Templeton, took oaths and pledged my heart, soul to Alpha which in turn is a mere representation of the Sphinx which is a documented representation/symbol of the Egyptian Sun god. As a born again believer I stand on the word of God and take His word to heart. As stated in the video, starting at the beginning in Exodus 20:3 we are called to have no other gods ahead of my Heavenly father and creator. Since you are an Alpha you knelt/bowed before an alter representing Alpha which represents far more than we were initially told/taught. I, at the time didn’t have knowledge of alters and spiritual warfare but as the veil was torn from my eyes the Lord revealed all of the corruption and abominations I was committing in the name of “brotherhood”, “scholarship” and “service”. While those are commendable things they are detestable when exalted the way that D9 orgs and the culture okays this behavior; especially as it relates to not conforming to the pattern of this world (Romans 12:2). So my walking away was to dissolve the spiritual covenant that I created with fraternity and all the demonic forces connected to it. I didn’t have to actively bow and worship anyone or anything in order for my destiny to be altered; in order for portals to demonic activity to be opened; in order for spiritual control to be given over my life and my bloodline; in order for me to be out of alignment with who God created me to be. I can’t say that I’m a new creation nor that old things have passed away if they were very present with me - on my chest, on my clothing, on my vehicles, all over my house, all interwoven in my destiny. Furthermore, my oath and allegiance was to the fraternity and all that it encompassed. I never made oaths and covenants to money, nor to my employer, or to this country. In fact, since denouncing Alpha, I also had to learn to surrender my finances and all that I am to the Lord so that He can truly be the head of my life and it not just be a cliche to say around other Christians. Since walking away, I have experienced a peace like no other. My marriage is the healthiest it’s Ever been. My spiritual growth has been magnified as well. Whereas I felt afraid of losing my “identity” I know my real identity and the power/ authority attributed to me as a man of God. Now each man must work out his own salvation with fear and trembling but no brotherhood, organization, service, notoriety, or affiliation is worth my salvation. My brother, I pray that you continue to seek God for yourself and for the betterment of your family. I’m sure you’ve been aware of all of the scandals erupting from well known individuals. The grace of God will only extend so far. I pray that you find whatever it is that you searching for and that your views begin to align with my Father in heaven. I’m always willing to dialogue off here as well. Atemple7@gmail.com. Blessings brother 🙏🏽.
@@Atemple7 Thank you for your response. The pledges and oaths you speak to permeate in so many areas...if they don't tie directly to God, how can you trust it? Do you not go to an emergency room to see a Dr who took the Hypocratic Oath to save lives? Do you not entrust your safety to an officer or firefighter who took an oath to protect and serve you? Do you not vote for any politician who is sworn in to make life better for you as a citizen of your city, state, or country? Do you not support a person who takes an oath to protect our country in the armed forces? Are kids who say the Scout Oath putting their salvation at risk? Do you not say the pledge of allegiance at a sporting event? None of the oaths in the above scenarios are to God but to the service of people keeping God in mind. My point is, if you're gonna do introspection in one area, do it in all. And I still don't hear you denouncing that potentially tainted dollar (especially using it in church) or leaving the country with said secret fraternal connections lol Great conversation! God Bless!
@@chadjean3550 All you can do is what makes sense for your walk good brother. I assume you may be a believer and if so, I encourage you to look into understanding spiritual alters and spiritual warfare. I’m confident your views would be amended. But revelation comes from the Lord, not from myself or any other man. The knowledge you see is there. God said when we seek Him, we will find Him. I still pray you get to know God in a deeper way. Be blessed bro.
@@chadjean3550do we have to get on our knees in front of alter and bow to get money? I don’t think so! If you read your Bible you should be more concerned about not taking the 666 mark. You are sharing semantics and sewing confusion. Be blessed sir.
@taylorspastpresent1014 Best believe you get on your knees and bow before an altar to get money EVERY Sunday..it's called tithes and offerings-they sure ain't paying out blessings with cattle crops like back in the day lol. If you're ok with using the dollar bill, then the basis for denouncing african-based Greek lettered organizations is just as ridiculous. In the future, make sure you're able to defend what you don't understand. Be blessed.
A covenant is not a promise. A covenant is an agreement! Anyone can promise but it takes at least two parties to form an agreement or covenant. See people misinterpret the Bible All the time!
People do indeed misinterpret the Bible all the time. But one thing that doesn’t change is God’s word. There are 2 kingdoms: The Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of darkness. You’re serving one or the other. The things we form allegiance to is an oath/covenant. God isn’t playing with people. I just want to get the word out to people and encourage people to dig a little deeper than what lies on the surface. I pray you continue to grow and I aim to do the well. Blessings
The most important thing is the why. Why I/we denounced as it relates to our personal relationship with God and how those practices and oaths don’t align with the word of God. What you’re seeking is gossip type of info and I’m just tryna point people to God.
That’s a silly comment bro. That’s in essence saying people can’t change. I don’t know how old you are but were you as intelligent 20 yrs ago and knew as much as you know now? The presumable answer is no. That means that you have grown and acquired knowledge over time. That is no different than myself and many people choosing to leave the D9 and other deceptive organizations. Perhaps you don’t have any conviction for the things you do. We all have to start somewhere. What’s true and certain in any case is that Christ loves you and desires true covenant with you, regardless of what you’ve been attached to (in covenant with). He just won’t be 2nd to anyone or anything. My prayer is that you and anyone else who watches this video and any of the sort will truly self examine themselves and determine whose authority they live under: Satan’s or God. There’s no in between. Be blessed 🙏🏽
That is a very weird ask. I would ask yourself what is driving your desire to know that. I’ll just say you can literally find all the info you want on line.
Of course on judgement day our Heavenly Father is more concerned with you being paper than being souled out to Jesus. What a lie! I will pray for you Brotherhood99.
That’s sad to hear brother. Perhaps you’re not a believer or never had a chance to know Jesus. None of that matters. But know that He still loves you and desires a relationship with you. Blessings
After THIRTY years, I renounced and denounced my membership in Sigma Gamma Rho. I am thankful to God for forgiveness and freedom!
Praise God!!!
To receive God's love doesn't require doing things in the dark, secret scripts, twisted scripts, let alone being screamed at. God wants you to have all his love. He's a jealous God.
Why would a God that created everything be jealous? Make it make sense.
Congratulations! I am so glad that so many of God's children are hearing His voice and coming out from among them. You have done the right thing regardless of what anyone says. Your LBs will not be standing with you when you have to give your account to the Lord on judgement day. All the work that you did for A Phi A is null and void and not recognized by God. Only what you do for the Lord will stand. Holy Spirit will never steer you wrong. Everything you are saying is facts. I pray more sister and brothers start to recognize God's voice because He is always talking to us and trying to get our attention. Only love to you and your family. Let Him use you.

Absolutely! 🎯💯🩵🩵
Wow after 22 years ! That's a lot bro. Shocking. There's a surge in videos like these.
Adrian - 22 years - it’s a very long time but your path to the Most High got very much shorter. May you continue along the narrow path in Jesus’ mighty name. 🙏🏿
Thank you for sharing. Section 15 hit me man as that is the part of the ritual that I have thought of first since I have began this journey to denouncing alpha. My wife denounced aka about a year ago. She did grad chapter and I did undergrad chapter. A big part of me feels so guilty for leading her to aka and almost making it seem like it was a rite of passage. God please forgive me for that. My wife has been very supportive and has allowed me to walk my path with Christ and yet has held me accountable for progress. The time is now for me, and I thank you so much for sharing your story and am very happy for the peace you have attained.
Brother, praise God! The part of the ritual before the actual ceremony portion where it talked about where the name A Phi A came from was another mind blowing thing. I’m super thankful you have your wife to walk through this with you. I too felt extremely convicted having led sooo many people to Alpha including my cousin and mentee just a couple months before I decided to walk away. But God will have the final say. Blessings
Absolutely & Amen my brother!! God is absolutely pleased and all of Heaven is rejoicing!!! Thank you for your boldness, humility and obedience my friend!!!! You have full support of the true body of Christ and God Himself!!!!! Trust me, you and so many others that are denouncing & renouncing, are helping to tear down satan’s deceptions and lies, and helping others be just as bold and serve Jesus in full!!!!!!
Amen brother! I give God all the praise! I’m one vessel striving to be obedient and to help reclaim souls for Christ! Keep covering me in prayer good brother!
Listen bro! Just did my video a few weeks ago, was very encouraged to hear your story and to see how similar they are.
Came from a Greek family, but very proud to walk fully with my Kingdom family. Key point that I loved you made is that this is nothing against the individuals but the organization seemingly to be based on Christian principles.
Dying at all the things you said was your response lolol that was me too, don’t send me no videos that’s their business 🤣🤣
That’s awesome sis! First and foremost praise God for your obedience!! TBH I used to dog the mess outta folks speaking against D9 and at the beginning of this year I wouldn’t watch a denouncing video because I didn’t feel like it related to me and that was those people’s issues they dealt with. But as I started to change my heart posture and to actually go deeper in Christ, the veil was torn and I was like 😬😩😭oh this ain’t good at all! Let me encourage you though that even through the “grief” of losing that “connectedness” with D9 folks I saw just how surface and out of touch I was and God has been surrounding me with like minded brothers and sisters that diligently love Him. I’m thankful for you and excited to support you on your journey to freedom sis. The peace is amazing here! 🙌🏽
It was the THEY ALL HAVE THEIR OWN gods for me. That alone is scary. God bless you and your family.. There's only ONE GOD. I also pray that God releases me from any binding covenant, belief, understanding, relationship and all that is not of God. Sometimes we don't even realize what we've allowed to enter into our lives. Be blessed
@@TishaRicksblessings upon you, in Jesus'name, Amen
Congratulations! God bless you I know this was hard for you! All glory to God 🙏🏾✨
Thank you bro! It was indeed hard but I also know that I have a bigger reward! Blessings
Saw you on the first Unveiling series in October. Thank you for sharing about your obedience and shedding light on how people often pledge in ignorance.
The righteous are indeed as bold as a lion. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ. Much love big bro!
All praises be to God the Creator for calling you all out and for you all answering God’s call to repentance. Way to go! 🩵🩵
Your honesty means everything!❤ Thank you 😊
Praise God. It’s all for His Glory.
Thanks Adrian, your honesty and denouncement about your Alpha / Fraternity experience is reaching follow brothas and sistas out here.
I have a good friend who I have known for over 16 years and we grew up in the same church as young adults and another ‘associate’ both who has been inviting me out to ‘public’ Alpha events for the past 5 years. Things appeared ‘on the level’ at first, but I started noticing things that did not sit well in my spirit, especially after attending both a probate as a guest and a co-Ed Alpha and AKA gala event. Let’s just say, me and 5 other ‘prospects’ were verbally hazed where the officials used the N Word and called us motherf*ckers because ‘we did not know all the knowledge of Alpha’ I shocked and stunned 😳 😳😳 for a ‘professional’ Black fraternity to use that type of toxic and hostile language against another fellow Black men. Mind you, there were other chapter officers in attendance of this hazing that did not correct nor hold other officers to an account who were trash talking at us. And mind you also that the gala was supposed to be fun event and not some ‘I’m on line or smoker interview’
That’s my experience and may not reflect everyone’s experience, but It is so sad to keep hearing similar offenses like this. I was so turned off, but ironically, some of the other ‘prospects’ were still interested in joining and I was like ‘nah bro, I’m good’ 😢
Wow! Thanks for your honesty as well. I can fully confirm that the type of rhetoric you experienced is not uncommon at all! Praise God you saw through it and were led to move on. I’ll be praying for the other brothers as well and pray that they get revelation behind the true essence behind these organizations. They all appear awesome on the surface but when spiritual eyes are opened it’s very clear it’s not of God. I urge you to continue seeking the Lord for clarity in other areas that may need to be revealed or exposed. At the end of the day, we all need to do all we can to ensure we’re in right alignment with our Heavenly Father. Blessings.
@@Atemple7 Amen brother, thanks!🙏🏾
You mentioned you joined some 22 years ago, so I know your running with my generation. I must say this has been a very complete and analytical depiction of the D9 system and your testimony of powerful reflection. Thanks for sharing bro.
Proud of you. Jesus Loves you ❤
Definitely don't need to be hazed to receive God's love and protection. Yahweh/Christ never said that.
God bless you brother and your family in Jesus Name, Amen. BLESSINGS are coming just from your testimony. PLEASE make more videos! You are a great teacher and leader. Looking forward to seeing more from you! Blessings!
Thank you! The Lord has been dealing with me on a few things. I will definitely have more to say/teach on soon. Blessings
Adrian, long time no see! Thank you for recording your testimony for others to hear and process. I didn’t think that I would watch the whole thing, but I definitely heard you out and appreciate where you’re coming from. God bless you and your family, bro! Thank you for telling your story while pointing people to Jesus 🙏🏽. Next time I see you, we are still brothers!
Mos def bro! Would love to chop it up some time soon. You’re definitely my brother in Christ and I cherish that relationship bro!
I’m a nerd , you sound like a pretty awesome teacher..you should definitely try it
Very interesting comment. Hadn’t thought about that. I do like teaching or more so empowering people in general so perhaps. Thank you for watching. I pray you found some relevance. Not sure if you’re a believer or not but I encourage you to seek a relationship or at least a deeper one with the Heavenly Father. He loves you and desires a relationship with you. Blessings
@@Atemple7 yes us seeking Christians would love to subscribe and learn from you. You have a good way of elaborating to the people. I’m a true believer .im writing a book and exposing frats and soros are one of my important topics. I’m from a city that’s engulfed in different kinds of Greeks. Growing up we all wanted to be frat because it’s all we saw but thanks to you Good Sheep Exposing the truth we chose the narrow road instead so thank you also ☦️
@@chaserbrinks praise God!!!
I also hope that you continue to progress down your spiritual journey now with God at your side
Blessings brother! 🙏🏽
Congratulations, 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thank you sis! To God be the Glory!
@@Atemple7 amen, may others come out as well. God surely do answer prayer.
This was heartfelt, and thorough. Thank you for sharing your journey. Btw, I'm looking to attend OU for grad school. I'm all geeked up about it. Lol. I had thought about sharing my interest with one of the orgs in OKC, but perhaps I will reconsider all thinfs before moving forward. Thank you again for sharing.
I appreciate you watching bro. I only ask that you don’t just take my word for it and find out for yourself (not joining one of the orgs but) by doing in depth research. I am willing to share any resources but the best resource is the word of God! Before you do anything, just pray and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to you. Blessings
@@Atemple7 👌🏽👊🏾
PRAISES BE TO GOD THE CREATOR!
I pursued alpha for over two years and it was the most humiliating experience of my life. The trauma and turmoil that I went through during intake was excruciating. The verbal and mental abuse that I went through is much worse than physical. Then to make matters worse I was voted out at the second to last week, then I was blackballed while trying to join another chapter. I’m realizing that this was probably Gods protection. As a grown man with a wife and child, the members didn’t care about the horrific way I was treated, even by the district director. My family suffered because of the time I spent in meeting with the line learning info and going to events. I’m still going through healing but I’m glad that I’ve realized that God is enough and I don’t need a fraternity to be validated. BTW the KING Movement is a great Christian based brotherhood founded on Godly principles that I’m thinking about joining.
@@jwilliams7554 Thanks for the vulnerability King. I agree with you that perhaps God protected you from joining in spite of the turmoil you experienced. If you haven’t done so already, I’d encourage you to renounce and denounce any covenants you did make as you were trying to join the organization. We enter into covenants all the time with things and people contrary to the word of God. I’d also caution you to take that other organization before the Lord and ask for direction to see if it’s something that lines up with who He is. Remember, Alpha and the other D9 orgs were “founded on Christian principles “. At least that’s what they all say. I also said the same thing for years. God sometimes has a way of getting our attention to remind us that He is all we truly need. Blessings to you and your family and I pray that God’s light shines brighter than any other. Clarity, healing & peace in Jesus’ name. 🙏🏽
@@Atemple7 thanks I sure will denounce because I did become a sphinxman and that right there was a covenant.
I am not greek, but contemplating pursuing it. I have a few questions. Would you say organizations such as The Links, 100 Black Men, Jack and Jill, etc. also fall into this realm? Second question....do those of you denouncing also denounce the fact that you have, or maybe still do, pledge allegiance to the flag of the US? Have you asked for forgiveness for doing that?? Finally, for those of you in the military, the law field and even the medical fields....aren't you required to take oaths?? How do you get around each of these scenarios?? It doesn't all make sense to me. Many thanks
Great questions and hunger for knowledge is extremely vital for growth. Just make sure you vet the sources of truth.
For me the primary source of truth has to come from the Word. As a believer, all truth should come from the true source, Jesus Christ.
As for the Links, 100 Black Men, Jack & Jill, I can’t really speak on those as my knowledge base is very low when it comes to those orgs. As with anything, I urge you to ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to the truth of whatever org you are interested in. As a former member of D9 and having done a lot of research into them all, I would highly advise against pledging any part of yourself to those orgs as every single one has its identity & rituals tied to demonic things. When I pledged at 19, I had no real reference to spiritual warfare or demonic activity even though I had been in church my entire life. Sure, I googled info on the organization and talked to a few people but the info I gathered was purely surface. At the time, I knew of no one in my family that was “Greek” so I had very little to go on. I made decisions with the knowledge I had met with the longing for brotherhood I had due to my own blood brother had been locked up for a number of years. When going through our rituals, I recall several things that felt anti Christ- like but I also would fall back on the notion (lie) that the organization was founded on Christian principles, etc which is also something that I proudly spoke on for 22 yrs spouting the same misguided rhetoric. I was also busy tryna ‘live my best life’ so definitely was all the way bought into the things that being “Greek” afforded me. My entire identity was funneled through me being an Alpha. Thank God for his redemptive love and my spiritual awakening.
To address the other things, when I denounced being an Alpha, I denounced any and everything that exalted itself against the knowledge of Christ and any spiritual covenants I had made. I’m in the medical field as a sales rep and an oath isn’t required. However, I have been apart of other organizations that didn’t necessarily require oaths but expressed honor and exaltation of other things and ancestral worship, etc which ultimately didn’t align with my spiritual beliefs so I parted ways and yes asked for forgiveness. I know this is long but I’m an open book and suggest you email me if you have further questions. I’ll give you all the resources I have so you can make the best decision for you. Atemple7@gmail.com.
I’m in the medical field and military. I’m also an ex OES member and ex AKA. The military & medical oaths are completely different. (Although your trees should be yes and no should be no.) We didn’t bow at altars, twist scriptures, learn secret handshakes, do rituals over dead bodies, pass candles in dark rooms etc. 😂 I don’t think y’all know what goes on behind closed doors. You need to listen to more denouncing videos and read more scriptures.
Respect!!!!!!
Praise the Lord 🙌🏾🙌🏾
God bless you ❤
Petey! What you doing? I get it you have to do what’s best for you and your mental and spiritual wellbeing. God bless you sir.
What's up sis! You know we go way back! Been growing a lot spiritually and gaining new perspectives as it relates to my my walk and realized D9 didn't fit in the equation for me any longer. You're my sista regardless and I luv ya!
Adrian, and other Alphas who are also denouncing, let me get y'all 'nalia then! Don't throw it away, send it to me. I'll cover shipping costs or you can hand em off to my people in the DFW! Let me know...
All of that stuff was disposed of. All 3 - 33 gallon trash bags full. It was important to me that anything that I owned and accumulated over the years ceased to exist as did any tie to Alpha. Handing it off to someone else, to me, felt like leaving remnants when God called all of me, not pieces of me. I pray that you are to able to search your heart and in submitting all of you, find a deeper level in Christ. Blessings good brother.
I’d say the same thing to any Nupes I knew who were denouncing, can I get your ‘nalia on your way out lol
Glory!
"When we complete community services who's getting glorified?"
God shares his glory with no man/woman, false Greek god that don't exist, idols, graven images.
Isaiah 42: 8 KJV
8 I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Amen! That’s my point. The orgs say they are doing good and even doing the Christian thing but the orgs get the credit more so than God thus creating another example of obvious idolatry.
Amen 🙏🏼❤🙏🏼
I’m glad folks are following their hearts and leaving. The true works are for those that do the daily business of Alpha. I am a strong supporter of Alpha since 1997. Dr. MLK a doctor of theology was an Alpha and I know he wouldn’t do anything to dishonor God. As an OU grad and lifelong Alpha I say bye and best wishes to you.
Good brother, what do you deem as the “true works”? Also, what do you consider to be the “daily business of Alpha”? Regarding the MLK comment, you can’t say what that man would or wouldn’t do. If the measure of that statement is the fact that he was a theologian, a Preacher and/or a Doctor, I strongly encourage you to look deeper. There is so much on the surface that people tend to gravitate to while being oblivious to the spirit behind things/individuals. I didn’t personally know MLK and as a former Alpha, I spoke very highly of him for years as an esteemed member of Alpha. But what I’ve learned over the last 15 months has taught me how to have a better understanding of spiritual things and I’ve been able to see just how many “esteemed” men/women lack spiritual depth for whatever reasons. When the Bible talks about the people perishing for a lack of knowledge I believe it was in reference to understanding how spiritual laws affect our daily lives. Perhaps this isn’t the platform to discuss this but please look deeper brother. And if you’re a fellow Sooner, than Boomer Sooner all day my guy! It’s all love and I just want to enlighten all of my brothers and sisters of what the Lord has shown me all so He can get the glory. Blessings
@@Atemple7 See this is my point. If you were a member for so long you should know the true works of Alpha are centered on MANLY DEEDS, SCHOLARSHIP, and LOVE for all mankind. Your position would make just about any organization ungodly. The purpose of most Greek organizations is to build a network of people who will promote service. Service to a school, to other brothers, and to the community. As for MLK it is a fact that he was an Alpha. It’s a fact he was a preacher. It’s a fact he was a Theologian. I’d imagine that most people would consider him a nobleman. Your stance would make being a lawyer, physician, military all ungodly because each took an oath and each have their own requirements for acceptance. God created us to build His Kingdom….social organizations is a way to reach others. I wholeheartedly respect your decision but I would offer you and anyone else to dig deeper into what these organizations truly stand for. God Speed and many blessings to you Sir.
@@billyclark4838 Bro I have dug deep which is what made me leave the organization 😎. No one and I mean NO ONE needs an organization to provide service to a school, service to any individual or to the community. Please let me know of 1 entity that requires affiliation in one of the “Greek organizations!
I never discounted MLK as an Alpha, Preacher, etc. Yes those are facts but what isn’t a fact is your opinion on his level of spiritual understanding and knowledge. I know many pastors, bishops, etc that are members of the D9 orgs and I pray all of their eyes are opened to the deception that exists at the roots of their organization. Trust me, I’ve been in church my entire life and even when I was in undergrad smoking, drinking and sexing all over the place, I still got my butt up and went to church, served in the church, obviously served in the community, sang in the gospel choir and may other “manly deeds”. On top of that my dad is a pastor. And guess what my brother, I STILL was misinformed and it wasn’t until I truly started to get a deeper understanding of the things of God that it became abundantly clear that the oaths I took to the “spirit of Alpha” and simply to Alpha was in direct contradiction to the word of God that I profess to live by. There is absolutely no condemnation to anyone still in the orgs but for anyone that is a professed believer in Jesus Christ then we are to judge righteously according to the word/will of God. Just like the Lord allows us to make our own decision of whether or not to live for him, each member of the D9 orgs and ANY other secret society requiring memberships and oaths must decide whom they will serve according to the word of God, not society or man’s standards. Again, I will not condemn anyone as it literally took me 22 yrs to see for myself. The word does say that each man must work out his own salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12-13). All I can do is be a voice and a vessel which I will gladly and loudly do until my time here is done. There seems to be a sincerity in your position and I’d even welcome further discussion. I’m not a fan of lengthy discussion on social media platforms but also understand that transparency can be a blessing for others as well. Feel free to email me atemple7@gmail.com.
God should be healing those kids in the cancer wards. He has no time to worry about anyone being in a fraternity Make it make sense.
@@lancegolden8190 I’d first ask who or what gives you the right/authority to say what God needs to be doing or worrying about? TBH, God wants nothing more than to have a relationship with all of his created beings. Assuming you’re a believer in God and Jesus Christ, the word of God is what every believer should live by while using the Holy Spirit as the resource that sanctifies us. The word is also very clear on having any other Gods before him. That doesn’t just mean bowing down before physical statues. All D9 frats and sororities are founded on things absolutely contrary to scripture as well as any other organization that have rituals requiring oaths and allegiance to any other entity. If it doesn’t make sense to you than perhaps there’s another conversation that we should be having regarding what Jesus Christ really means to us as believers and what serving him really looks like. That’s the important part and the most valuable take away from this video. Willing to have a conversation with you. Either way, you be blessed and know that God loves ya! Blessings
@@Atemple7 Enjoy your day. I guess we all interpret that Bible book differently and that’s why thier are so many denominations within Christianity. Even Bible scholars don’t agree because if they did you would not have, COGIc, Baptist, Fundamentalist, SDA, Jehovah witness, Catholic and on and on. We even have the MAGA Christians trying to give us our first Authoritarian Dictatorship in USA.
AMEN 🙏🏾
Good for you letting that stuff go it’s not of the Lord
It’s only shock for you. Lack of discipline, commitment and brotherly love is a great reason for you to move on…you won’t be missed. May God’s grace and mercy continue to bless your endeavors.
It’s okay to disagree. You are more than free to hold on to whatever opinion you choose just as you are free to actually walk with and follow the word of God or not. The only name I will answer to, in fact, the only name we will all answer to at some point is the Lord God almighty. I sincerely pray your heart and walk are in order when that day comes. Blessings good brother.
I haven't seen anyone in any of these denouncing videos apologize for abusing other black people to join their organizations. Did God not also say that was wrong as well?
It’s all wrong. My focus in this video was on the spiritual implications of being in the orgs. I’ve been on other podcasts/panels/videos where I have apologized for all the people I influenced into becoming a member which is a lot of people. I never really focused on apologizing for beating on other Black people and it wouldn’t matter if they were Black or any other races. TBH, while each org verbally and incessantly claims to not being a hazing org, it’s all a lie. Also the people that decide to join the orgs, including myself made a conscious, intentional decision to subject themselves to that type of harm. It is definitely one of the dumbest decisions I ever made although I felt completely justified and encouraged to join. But again, the spiritual implications are far worse than any of the physical or psychological effects in my opinion. I pray that you found it insightful. Blessings
I agree that it's all wrong. I understood the intent of the video, that's why I highlighted a pattern that I've noticed that wasn't specific to, but included your video. Physical and psychological abuse shouldn't be understated because of the way it didn't impact you, it could have a very different effect on someone else and impact their ability to be reached when you are looking to address their spiritual well being. Something to consider. Best of luck on your continued spiritual journey.😊
As a brother of Alpha Phi Alpha...I'm curious. How far are you willing to go and denounce not just the Fraternity but everything that has potential ties to anything similar to it that could affect your walk and lineage? Are you willing to denounce all of the money in your bank account? Checking, savings, retirement, wages from your employer/business...the same money you use to tithe with? Because the very dollar and money that forms the basis for your income is littered with Masonic/Egyptian symbols-on purpose, not accident. Are you willing to move to another country as the founding fathers of this country and the dollar bill were Masons?
Do you wash it all "under the blood" and keep using money as well as continue to live in the U.S.?
Valid questions sir. The reasoning for me denouncing my membership in the fraternity was way more than me choosing to leave an organization because it had ties to masonic/Egyptian things. The most important reason was because I, Adrian Templeton, took oaths and pledged my heart, soul to Alpha which in turn is a mere representation of the Sphinx which is a documented representation/symbol of the Egyptian Sun god. As a born again believer I stand on the word of God and take His word to heart. As stated in the video, starting at the beginning in Exodus 20:3 we are called to have no other gods ahead of my Heavenly father and creator. Since you are an Alpha you knelt/bowed before an alter representing Alpha which represents far more than we were initially told/taught. I, at the time didn’t have knowledge of alters and spiritual warfare but as the veil was torn from my eyes the Lord revealed all of the corruption and abominations I was committing in the name of “brotherhood”, “scholarship” and “service”. While those are commendable things they are detestable when exalted the way that D9 orgs and the culture okays this behavior; especially as it relates to not conforming to the pattern of this world (Romans 12:2).
So my walking away was to dissolve the spiritual covenant that I created with fraternity and all the demonic forces connected to it. I didn’t have to actively bow and worship anyone or anything in order for my destiny to be altered; in order for portals to demonic activity to be opened; in order for spiritual control to be given over my life and my bloodline; in order for me to be out of alignment with who God created me to be. I can’t say that I’m a new creation nor that old things have passed away if they were very present with me - on my chest, on my clothing, on my vehicles, all over my house, all interwoven in my destiny.
Furthermore, my oath and allegiance was to the fraternity and all that it encompassed. I never made oaths and covenants to money, nor to my employer, or to this country. In fact, since denouncing Alpha, I also had to learn to surrender my finances and all that I am to the Lord so that He can truly be the head of my life and it not just be a cliche to say around other Christians.
Since walking away, I have experienced a peace like no other. My marriage is the healthiest it’s Ever been. My spiritual growth has been magnified as well. Whereas I felt afraid of losing my “identity” I know my real identity and the power/ authority attributed to me as a man of God.
Now each man must work out his own salvation with fear and trembling but no brotherhood, organization, service, notoriety, or affiliation is worth my salvation.
My brother, I pray that you continue to seek God for yourself and for the betterment of your family. I’m sure you’ve been aware of all of the scandals erupting from well known individuals. The grace of God will only extend so far. I pray that you find whatever it is that you searching for and that your views begin to align with my Father in heaven. I’m always willing to dialogue off here as well. Atemple7@gmail.com.
Blessings brother 🙏🏽.
@@Atemple7 Thank you for your response.
The pledges and oaths you speak to permeate in so many areas...if they don't tie directly to God, how can you trust it? Do you not go to an emergency room to see a Dr who took the Hypocratic Oath to save lives? Do you not entrust your safety to an officer or firefighter who took an oath to protect and serve you? Do you not vote for any politician who is sworn in to make life better for you as a citizen of your city, state, or country? Do you not support a person who takes an oath to protect our country in the armed forces? Are kids who say the Scout Oath putting their salvation at risk? Do you not say the pledge of allegiance at a sporting event? None of the oaths in the above scenarios are to God but to the service of people keeping God in mind. My point is, if you're gonna do introspection in one area, do it in all.
And I still don't hear you denouncing that potentially tainted dollar (especially using it in church) or leaving the country with said secret fraternal connections lol
Great conversation! God Bless!
@@chadjean3550 All you can do is what makes sense for your walk good brother. I assume you may be a believer and if so, I encourage you to look into understanding spiritual alters and spiritual warfare. I’m confident your views would be amended. But revelation comes from the Lord, not from myself or any other man. The knowledge you see is there. God said when we seek Him, we will find Him. I still pray you get to know God in a deeper way. Be blessed bro.
@@chadjean3550do we have to get on our knees in front of alter and bow to get money? I don’t think so! If you read your Bible you should be more concerned about not taking the 666 mark. You are sharing semantics and sewing confusion. Be blessed sir.
@taylorspastpresent1014 Best believe you get on your knees and bow before an altar to get money EVERY Sunday..it's called tithes and offerings-they sure ain't paying out blessings with cattle crops like back in the day lol. If you're ok with using the dollar bill, then the basis for denouncing african-based Greek lettered organizations is just as ridiculous. In the future, make sure you're able to defend what you don't understand. Be blessed.
A covenant is not a promise. A covenant is an agreement! Anyone can promise but it takes at least two parties to form an agreement or covenant. See people misinterpret the Bible All the time!
People do indeed misinterpret the Bible all the time. But one thing that doesn’t change is God’s word. There are 2 kingdoms: The Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of darkness. You’re serving one or the other. The things we form allegiance to is an oath/covenant. God isn’t playing with people. I just want to get the word out to people and encourage people to dig a little deeper than what lies on the surface. I pray you continue to grow and I aim to do the well. Blessings
everyone is telling the same stories. tell what you witnessed and what was unchrist like. tell us the secrets and demonic rituals. say it all!
The most important thing is the why. Why I/we denounced as it relates to our personal relationship with God and how those practices and oaths don’t align with the word of God. What you’re seeking is gossip type of info and I’m just tryna point people to God.
Are all the renouncers and denouncers gonna support VP Harris? She is still an enthusiastic member of Alpha Kappa Alpha.
I personally won’t be supporting her. I didn’t really trust her before I decided to denounce.
Y’all just jumping on the bandwagon. If you wasn’t right before joining you won’t be right during or after
That’s a silly comment bro. That’s in essence saying people can’t change. I don’t know how old you are but were you as intelligent 20 yrs ago and knew as much as you know now? The presumable answer is no. That means that you have grown and acquired knowledge over time. That is no different than myself and many people choosing to leave the D9 and other deceptive organizations. Perhaps you don’t have any conviction for the things you do. We all have to start somewhere. What’s true and certain in any case is that Christ loves you and desires true covenant with you, regardless of what you’ve been attached to (in covenant with). He just won’t be 2nd to anyone or anything. My prayer is that you and anyone else who watches this video and any of the sort will truly self examine themselves and determine whose authority they live under: Satan’s or God. There’s no in between. Be blessed 🙏🏽
i know this is a weird ask but may i know the grip for alpha phi alpha
That is a very weird ask. I would ask yourself what is driving your desire to know that. I’ll just say you can literally find all the info you want on line.
Paper
God bless you brother
Of course on judgement day our Heavenly Father is more concerned with you being paper than being souled out to Jesus. What a lie! I will pray for you Brotherhood99.
Jesus himself couldn't make me denounce the brotherhood
That’s sad to hear brother. Perhaps you’re not a believer or never had a chance to know Jesus. None of that matters. But know that He still loves you and desires a relationship with you. Blessings
