Afrikans understood that you do not come together to worship; since worship is: personal, private and individual, period.

Afrikans understood that coming together was for:


1. Fellowship
2. Instruction
3. Attaining victorious thought

Afrikans knew the house of GOD was themselves. They knew that the house of GOD did not reside in a building.

The Kingdom of Heaven is within you and whosoever shall know himself shall find the Kingdom of Heaven.

Seeking GOD or the Kingdom of Heaven in the sky sets you on a path outside of yourself; thus, you deny yourself and in addition you steal your own power from yourself.

Q. How in the world did this concept get away from my people?

these are some very good concepts fine.

if you knew anything about christianity you would know that the assembling is for those exact things: fellowship, instruction and understanding that we have the victory in Jesus Christ.

We are the temple of God if our spirit has been renewed. When it is He indwells us, he habitates within us.

I really don't know how anyone could seek God in the sky. He is not there. Tell me some more about this sky God fine....hehehehehe

Bickering is getting petty and childish.

That aside (as in without ''attacking'' anyones religion or faith) if people were to realize that God resides within them it would do away with the need for institutions in the same way the printing press took power away from the church and the priesthood, people wouldn't have a need to consult anyone other than themselves and could very realistically heal and solve their own problems.


I wanted to know if the Dagara elders could tell the diffrence between fiction and reality. The elders did not understand what a starship is, they did not understand what the fussy uniforms had to do with anything but they recognized in Spock a Kontomble of the seventh planet... they had never seen a Kontomble that big.

heal thyself from all infirmities --- physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Our ancestors knew we would slip into this dark mindless state as exhibited over and over by the day-to-day rhetoric that spews out of this persons' brain via this person's mouth. I love the way Shemsi categorized and marginalized this person's behavior?
