Black Churches Need to RE-invest in Black People

Show me the religion that amasses money from the congretation and then provides loans to the congregation for the purpose of opening businesses, buying land, and building homes – SHOW ME THAT RELIGION

IF WE ARE “HEMMED UP” or thrown under the bus, or left by the wayside, or given to the wolves – BY OUR RELIGION

–THEN OUR RELIGION  –

– IS WORTHLESS –

ALL THREE OF THE ABRAHAMIC TRADITIONS TELL US/TEACH US NOT TO TAKE LOANS OUTSIDE OF OUR RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY – AND NOT TO DO INTEREST BASED LOANS –

so why is it that the ashkenazi are the only ones that work to keep their congregation-members out of the hands of the devil ?

–(and again the three abrahamic faiths all teach that usury, interest, debt is not of God’s decree, but of the devil’s system)
–giving money to its congregation?

So why is it that only the ashkenazi are the only ones that work to see that their members dont get TRAPPED by the capitalists vultures?

A synagogue in Pelham Parkway offered to pay $625 a month — for a total of $22,500 over three years — just for (the new family) to continue living and worshiping among its members. The money helps cover the family’s $1,750 monthly rent; if they had chosen to buy, they would have received a lump sum of $40,000. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/19/nyregion/jewish-groups-across-us-paying-families-to-relocate.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

Newsday recently ran a story on Dan and Atara Marzouk, who moved to Plainview, N.Y., last October, taking advantage of a $25,000 interest-free loan offered by the local Young Israel congregation.

In 2007, the synagogue rolled out a rich incentive program capped by a $30,000 interest-free loan that becomes a grant after 10 years. The first five couples that moved in that year got the full amount. The next five received $20,000, and the final cohort got $10,000.

Southfield, Mich., where the local Young Israel congregation is offering young couples a $7,200 five-year, interest-free loan toward a down payment on a home.

The Reform congregation in Dothan is one of several dozen synagogues nationwide offering loans, grants and a variety of other incentives to attract young families to their communities.

Granting an interest-free loan is mitzvah (Exodus 22:24).

For how much? If one is in need and goes to the trouble of asking (as most will suffer through to save respect, ego, and embarrassment, and you who are in position to assist (and especially those to whom much has been given) yet you turn him down, the suppliant’s cries (though deep within his soul, and never leak from his lips) are heard on high—and that’s an outrage to HIM WHOM WE ALL (MOST OF US ANYHOW) CLAIM TO WORSHIP.

On the other hand, give him that loan and “you shall call and G‑d will answer; you shall cry and He will say, ‘Here I am’” (Isaiah 58:9).

When will these houses of worship that are supported by Africans (Churches, Mosques, Temples) finally tithe BACK (zakat back) (maasrah back) to the black community’s resources from whom they pool (or should I say “fleece”)?

Harlem World – LiveSteez research shows that Black churches, in aggregate, have collected more than $420 billion in tithes and donations since 1980.

$14.5 billion per year

$14.5 billion per year

$14.5 billion per year

Now if we were to demand that THE BLACK CHURCH give back one tenth of such an aggregate amount of money – specifically to the HBCU’S in our communities – and designate that said money has to be used to provide free education or at the minimum tuition assistance – then the black community would not have  such barriers to obtaining a college education.

If we demanded that they donated that money, instead, to a national black investment agency so that black people could acquire home and business loans, there would be no unemployment in our community.

I can’t but help to reflect on what Dr. Umar Johnson Ifatunde has been speaking on, to force a new consciousness into the minds of the masses. –

LISTEN:

Love Thy Enemy…

You Want Me To What? 

I tend to take things rather literally – SO on that note – I have NO APPRECIATION for any element of the “LOVE THY ENEMY” CREED, which is encapsulated as follows:

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU READ

“I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.   If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you” (Luke 6:27-31).  

1)      Whilst you are busy “doing good” to those who hate you – those who love you are receiving NO GOOD WORKS that could benefit them

2)      Whilst you are turning the other cheek to be impacted by yet another fist or foot or bullet – you are forsaking your God given ability to defend yourself and to remain amongst the living so as to do SOMETHING good for you and your own people

3)      Once I am without cloak and tunic, I can but rely upon the kindness of strangers – and seeing as how I am being taught that “we all” should follow this teaching, then “we all” can but stand naked until the kind, enemy who took from us our cloak and tunic decides to give us back some of those goods – hopefully he will find it in his heartless chest to give us back the cloak and tunic before the cold winter freezes us or before the hot summer burns us to death – but if not – at least we will still have showed love (all be it up to the point of our own extinction) but then again there is always the unconfirmed heaven that we are mandated to believe in)

4)      While I might strive to give to everyone who asks of me – once they have asked me for my own food, clothing and shelter I think some self-analysis is due to kick in – if I am to go without – I much rather they ask someone else

5)      And anyone who takes from me what belongs to me – anyone who takes from us what belongs to us – knowledge of self, land/homeland/culture/religion (keep in mind nearly NONE of us were xtians prior to the transatlantic slave trade), valuables, jewels – again this IS the practice of my  people for over 400 years: we have refused to demand what was taken TO BE given back to us – and practicing this “love of the enemy” has gotten us exactly what we asked for – NOTHING!

On the contrary, here is what I say regarding enemies:

And those who, when tyranny strikes them, they …

 

 

 

 

 

defend themselves,

And the recompense of evil is punishment like it,but whoever FORGIVES and amends, he shall have his reward from GOD; surely He does not love the unjust.

And whoever avenges himself after having been wronged – those have not upon them any cause [for blame]. The way (of blame) is only against those who oppress mankind, and wrongfully rebel in the earth. For such there is a painful doom. (42:39-42)

 

“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for GOD  as witnesses to fair dealings and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice.
Be just, that is next to piety. Fear GOD, indeed GOD  is well-acquainted with all that you do.”(5:8)

IN OTHER WORDS:

Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: Mathew 16:23
