CONFRONTING TRUMP FEARS

CONFRONTING TRUMP FEARS Fear is vanquished by power and love and a sound mind. "Power" means to possess the capacity to destroy. "Love" means to express empathy. "Sound mind" means wisdom and discretion in the exercise of these. Absence of them all spawns fear. But "God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind." https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.biblegateway.com/passage/%3Fsearch%3D2%2BTimothy%2B1%253A7%26version%3DKJV%26interface%3Damp?client=safari If not God, then, whence fear? Ask yourself this question as our unwarranted hysteria of President-Elect Donald Trump darkens our senses, plugs our ears, numbs our feelings, neuters our taste buds, stifles our scents and impairs our intuitions, with January 20, 2017, looming but days away from now. Gut check! Fear check! History check! Abnormal fear defies faith. Hold on to your God-given power, love, especially to sound minds!

WELL DONE, OBAMA!

United States Presidential legacies cannot be assessed in a vacuum. They must be compared to others' legacies. It would seem that Obama's gay marriage and Obamacare triumphs distinguish him from Bill Clinton's "Don't Ask Don't Tell." win and health care failure. In comparison to the Bushes' jingoism in Iraq and Afghanistan, and failed attempt to kill Osama ben Laden, Obama killed ben Laden; but, failed to completely withdraw from Iraq or Afghanistan and saw Syria, ignite, Qadaffi fall in Libya, and ISIS/ISIL/DAESH, emerge dramatically. Domestically, no black person was appointed to the Supreme Court by Obama, although Justice Sotomayor has blossomed. His cabinet appointments and federal judgeships have been reasonably fair when compared to his predecessors'. But, Obama's biggest achievement was rescuing the economy from 2008's mortgage meltdown scandals, brought on by baby-Bush's regulatory fiascos . But, despite Obama having had two black attorneys general, no one went to jail from among that lily-white executive-claque who caused the crash, So, family symbolism and rhetorical eloquence apart, he was a President with a good heart, more liberal than 'black," more collegial than ascerbic, who was not the President of nor for black America, but of all America, as he has said, even of those who hate his Africanity. But, adding back in his family symbolism, rhetorical eloquence, and historical singularity, he is unprecedentedly best!

BLACK PEOPLE AND DIVINITY

UNTIL ENOUGH BLACK PEOPLE KNOW, SENSE, EMBODY, THAT INNER DIVINITY THAT IS INNATE WITHIN THEMSELVES, OUTSIDE OF THEMSELVES, IN EVERY WALK OF LIFE, THEN ALL OF THE BLACK HISTORY, HOLIDAYS, AND MUSEUMS, ARE FOR NAUGHT. DIVINITY PRECEDES HISTORY, HOLIDAYS, MUSEUMS, AND LIFE.

CHRISTIAN APOSTOLIC TRADITION LEGITIMATES AFRICAN ORAL TRADITION

Is not "the apostolic tradition" itself an oral tradition , exemplary of those yet extant in Africa, beside their written transcriptions? YES! http://www.bible.ca/sola-scriptura-tradition-5-types-2-oral.htm A. The Bible texts that support oral revelation as tradition: "Then the Lord stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me, "Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. Jeremiah 1:9. This is a classic Bible verse on oral inspiration, even though Jeremiah also wrote a book. Like the Apostles, even though Jeremiah had an oral tradition, all we know of his work, is what scripture records. Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you. 1 Corinthians 11:2. Paul delivered these traditions (the gospel) on his second missionary journey in Acts 18:1. This was before any books of the Bible were written so it must refer exclusively to oral tradition. "So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us." 2 Thessalonians 2:15. Both oral and scripture are called traditions. "Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us." 2 Thessalonians 3:6. This verse likely includes both oral and scripture tradition as a summary of 2 Thess 2:15. The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. 2 Timothy 2:2. Here we have the famous 4 generation discipleship passage: 1. Paul 2. Timothy 3. Faithful men 4. Others. However that which is taught is identical with scripture, even if it was revealed originally as an oral tradition. What was taught within these four generations may have included oral revelation, but this oral doctrine was also taught in scripture. For Roman Catholic and Orthodox defenders who see the succession of Bishops or the Pope, look elsewhere! First, the one's who were to be entrusted were, "faithful", not Bishops. Timothy was not a Bishop, was he to chose the next bishops to entrust the oral tradition to them? Second, the office of one bishop over the presbytery, did not exist until after 150 AD. Diocesan bishops, where one bishop was over another did not exist until 250. (Click here for proof.) So to suggest this passage teaches succession in any Catholic or Orthodox way, is vacuous. "You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them" 2 Timothy 3:14. This verse would likely refer to oral revelation from Paul's inspired mouth to Timothy. "I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute", Luke 21:12-15 is proves that oral tradition was the norm for the first 20 years of the church. The "with many other words" in Acts 2:40 represent inspired oral traditions that are lost forever. Yet for some time these specific words were likely remembered by many who heard them. There are literally thousands of inspired sermons that the Holy Spirit. "They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching". (Acts 2:42) Although we do not know specifically what the apostles taught at this time, we can be sure it did not differ from what we have in scripture."

VOTING

People who knowingly vote against their own self-interests are suicidal or insane. Worse are they who do neither: know nor vote.

SESHAT AND THOTH: FEMALE AND MALE: WISDOM, WRITING, MATHEMATICS, ASTRONOMY

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seshat# Meet our primeval "hidden figure," Kemetic Sheshat, consort of Thoth, woman of the South , goddess of writing, mathematics, astronomy, astrology. She preceded THOT in Kemetic (Egyptian) cosmology. They are allied as female and male forces or gods. "The ancient Egyptians credited Jehwty (Thoth) the ibis-headed moon god, also symbolized by a baboon, with the invention of hieroglyphics, 'divine words.' This totemic god was the patron of intellectual life. He was the patron of writers, collectively referred to as his companions. Jehwty was also lord of statistics, responsible for all that needed counting , such as months, years, etc. Lastly, he was the god of magicians....  "Scribes (literally, those who write, the incorporation of all those skilled in the use of the pen), whether they were priests or not, were the pillars of pharaonic society, the foundation of the state system. They shaped Egyptian philosophy , and for three thousand years maintained the moral, intellectual, cultural, spiritual, scientific, and other values of pharaonic society. "That is why the scribes profession was considered superior to other occupations... "Intellectual pursuits were the very fabric of life in pharaonic society."

Year 2019 prophesy for black Americans

Core of the 2019 prophesy for black Americans. 1619-2019 Genesis 15:12-14English Standard Version (ESV) 12 As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. And behold, dreadful and great darkness fell upon him. 13 Then the Lord said to Abram, “Know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years. 14 But I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward they shall come out with great possessions.
