Hi Sherry,
D. Eric Harmon has a DVD that might be of some use, it's entitled "Bondage and The Bible" Copyright 2008, www.bondageandthebible.com. I hope this helps. Rob H.
Glad you're feeling better Ralph! I'm not that far from Regent University, I'll try to see if I can convince seven or eight students to actually read their holy texts and entertain a little uncertainty!!!
It is sad but the loss of friends and acquaintances over these philosophical differences is to be expected; especially when the believer's faith is rooted in emotions, fear and vanity. It is almost certain that the garden variety believer did…
Dele, I often wonder; why were our ancestors so gullible and inviting to these alien religious systems? When the first Europeans came to the shores of West Africa with this "holy book" in one hand a gun in the other; why didn't the…
I am always re-energized when I read the comments of brothers like Adebowale and Danladi; thank you gentlemen! Do either of you have any idea what percentage of Sub-Saharan Africans share the same perspectives regarding these…
Hi Monica,

I haven't posted anything new since July 25th but let me know what you think, I would value your opinion.
Best wishes,

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing author of "The Isis Papers", Dr. Na'im Akbar author of "The Chains and Images of Psychological Slavery" and other Black intellectuals have dealt with this issue extensively. I put my one and one…
I've had similar encounters with "E.M.S." Christians Adebowale. On my cell phone I have several images of the biosphere and the cosmos. What I've been asking the faithful when they've expressed their desire to…
Brother Adebowale has written an excellent book and it deserves a wide audience. I especially enjoyed the last chapter " Lamentation for Africa". His assessment of the African mindset throughout the diaspora is honest and scathing. I would…
Greetings my brother. John Smith, one of the members of this forum, recommended your book and I'm going through my first read. Thank you for your literary contribution (I'm sure there will be more) and commitment to reason and sanity. The…
Dr. King used "that word" at a time when "that word" was still in use. Had not that trash from southern Illinois obtained a clear shot at him, he would have lived into the 1970s and acquired usage of terms like 'Black'…
I agree such questions are ridiculous, but why did you refer to them as 'Negroes'? I doubt if adding insult to injury is constructive way to start a productive discussion; yet due to the fact that many of these people are brainwashed, such…
I just read it as being within the historic context of the topic. MLK routinely used the word "Negro".
On the other hand, I don't think it's all that appropriate for everyday use.
“The history of the American Negro is the history of this strife — this longing to attain self-conscious manhood, to merge his double self into a better and truer self. In this merging he wishes neither of the older selves to be lost. He…
Are you offended by the term "Negroes" Sarsippious Jackson? I've often wondered; where are the meetings or conventions held that discuss, debate and decide what nomenclature we're going use to identify ourselves for the next…
