RELIGION AND SLAVES By: RABBI EDWARD WASHINGTON THE TEACHINGS OF BISHOP DAVID HILL/THE LORD ELIJAH.PLEASE LISTEN TO OUR GOSPEL ON YOUTUBE. @ youtu.be/294t2Dssj2k Someone has said that ‘’the time is now ripe for the true religion to come to the top’’. But before we move to determine which is the true religion a question worthy of consideration may very well be asked. Can religion help mankind, or what has religion done for mankind? The creator, who is form everlasting to everlasting, is the only one who can establish a true religion: ’’Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.’’(Psalm 127:1)He is the creator of only one religion (Ephesians 4:5-6, Isaiah 43:1).’’Every man is brutish in his knowledge every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.’’(Jeremiah 10:14) ‘’The gods that that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens, (Jeremiah 10:11) ’’The Portion of Jacob is not like them, for he is the former on all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name. ‘’Jeremiah 10’’16. If we are to investigate the monotheistic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Muhammadism, and in that order we will see that the Jewish religion is first. (Exodus 4:22; Romans 1:16) History teaches us that the pope in his bull of demarcation in 1493 debarred Spain from African possessions and compelled her to contact with other nations for slaves. This contract was in the hands of the Portuguese in 1600; in the hands of the Dutch in 1640 and in 1701, the French. The war of the Spanish succession brought this monopoly to England. The English trade in black souls began with Sir John Hawking’s voyage in 1762 and later, his good ship ‘’played a leading part in one of the world greatest in justices by man to man. So it was that the slave trade which was begun by the Portuguese, enlarged by the Dutch, and carried to its culmination by the English, was centered on the West coast near the seat of perhaps the oldest and most interesting culture of Africa (W.E.B.Du Boils, The Negro, pages 91 and 92). Religion was vicious to the African race and still is even unto this day. As we look at the Negro in his present confused state we are forced to consider what happened to the African people or what caused them to descend from the highest place to the lowest among the people of the world. It will come as news and even as a shock not only to the unlearned but also to educated Negroes to realize that the black race were once the leading people on earth; that Egypt constitutes a part of the black race; that the blacks are the true pioneers in the sciences, medicine, architecture and writing; and the first builders in stone. But even though I have told you these things, the big question comes up again – WHAT HAPPENED? How was it possible that civilization which had its birth in Africa is not only passed away but is unknown to the majority of black people. As I preach black theology daily, I get many letters asking questions such as this one: If it is true that we were once at the top, how did we fall so low? What happened was simple! First, a white man turned us away from our God (Deut 6:14-15; Deut 11:16; Deut 13:12-15). Secondly, they change our names (Daniel 1:1-4) and that was the beginning of the end. The Lord did say we would ‘’become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee’’ (Deut 28:37). ‘’The stranger (the white man) that is within thee shall get up above thee very high, and thou shall come down very low. He shall lend to thee, and thou shall not lend him; he shall be the head, and thou shall be the tail. Deut 28:43-44). If Egypt was once all black, then how did it become all white. The answer to this question will reveal the great master plan. Africans were divided up and become Africans, coloreds, and mulattoes. It is almost incomprehensible to realize that when we are reading about the Arabs we are reading about black people, or when we are reading about the Asians that we are also reading about black people. At one time, all Africans were known as Ethiopians, and naturally all Ethiopians were Africans. The white historians have not only made Egypt white, they have taken Egypt out of Africa. The result of the white man changing the names of black people and black countries is the difficulty. Experience today in tracing black history (Psalm 83:3-4) But to answer the big question – what happened? The white man wrote the history of black people and every white historian craftily used his falsified accounts to spread Christianity and western culture and to dehumanize the African race.For more information please call-592-231-5546/592-676-6798, after reading please SHARE.
