Black Hebrew Israelites
by Ryan Turner
edited by Matt Slick

Founder: Various leaders for different sects. There is no primary leader today. First started in the United States before the Civil War.

Headquarters: Various major cities across the United States with state chapters. There does not appear to be a central headquarter of leadership for the movement.

Membership: Approximately 200,000 among the dozens of offshoot branches.

Approximately 50,000 Black Hebrews, while the number who follow some form of Judaism (broadly defined) could be up to 200,000. There is a vast amount of diversity amongst various groups who claim to be descendants of the ancient Israelites. It is difficult to distinguish between all the various offshoots and movements within the broad movement of "Black Jewish Identity." Therefore, the range of possible adherents could be between 40,000-200,000.

Origins: One sect originated before the Civil War. There was another sect founded later in 1896, the Church of God and Saints of Christ, by William Crowdy. In the 1980s other sects began to appear, such as those lead by Yahweh Ben Yahweh (1935 - 2007), or Hulon Mitchell, Jr. There are a number of other sects of this broad Hebrew Israelite movement known as the Commandment Keepers, The Law Keepers, House of Judah, and the African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem, just to name a few.¹

Total madness. Reading things like this shows that we don't take God who is Jesus seriously.

People are full of hate for each oher forgetting everything Jesus taught and stood for. It's all abt who is superior and who is not.

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

Matthew:18:1

But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

Matthew 20 26-27atthew:20:26

Jesus who died for the whole world seek not to control men and be superior over them, He calls us His friends and brethren. But look ar what satan has turn us into.

No one is interested in what the Head of his Hohsehold says.

They believe in God but don't believe in Heaven or hell lolzzzzz.

Racism is demonic. God is not interested.

So.many of them.

They totally undermine why Jesus died, and fixate on the colour of their skin. I find this annoying

They need to know that God is a Spirit who is not limited to whatever shade of the skin.

Besides, have they forgotten that the original Israelites were the descendants of Abraham from Ur of the Chaldees, in Mesopotamia? were the Mesopotamians black skinned?

What is wrong with these racist black people?

Practices:

1. Some groups stand on the street corners of major cities and condemn people for their allegedly false beliefs while using vulgar language.² The Hebrew Israelites are very combative and generally do not want to listen when their views are challenged.³
2. They frequently use Hebrew words such as Yah [the name of God, Yahweh, shortened as Yah], Yahoshua [Jesus], Shabbat [Sabbath], etc.
3. They keep the Jewish Sabbath and many other Jewish customs including circumcision, dietary laws, and the observance of certain Jewish holidays and festivals like Yom Kippur and Passover.
4. They use the Old and New Testament to support their teachings, especially the five books of Moses (Genesis to Deuteronomy).
5. They do not consider themselves to be Jews in the modern sense of the term as associated with Orthodox, Reformed, Conservative, or Hasidic Judaism.

Source of Authority: It is difficult to determine where these Hebrew Israelites get their ultimate source of authority since they do not have any official writings. They apparently view the Bible (both the Old and New Testaments), preferably the King James Version, as an authoritative source, but they just argue that there have been a number of mistranslations. Nevertheless, some hint that the canon of the Bible is not fixed. They apparently use other writings outside of the Bible to support their ideas, such as the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha (meaning literally "false writings" ).

Teachings:
Generally, the Black Hebrew Israelites teach that certain groups of black are the descendants of ancient Israelites and that white people (especially those in Israel today) are not true descendants. Some BHI's adhere to the Talmud (Jewish collection of teachings, laws, and interpretations based on Genesis through Deuteronomy) while others do not. A very small faction is racist and considers white people to be evil. Most Black Hebrew Israelites are peaceable and oppose racism.

Following are some of the teachings that many Black Hebrew Israelites affirm. However, there is no universal consensus on all of these points, nor is this an exhaustive summary of all their beliefs. Not all divisions within the movement hold to all these teaching since there is vast diversity in the movement that has no official creed.

1. God

The Trinity is a false teaching.
God's true name is Yah as found in Psalm 68:4.

Emmanystone:

Dey tin tire me.

Besides, have they forgotten that the original Israelites were the descendants of Abraham from Ur of the Chaldees, in Mesopotamia? were the Mesopotamians black skinned?

What is wrong with these racist black people?

The israelites are black scattered all over the world. the proves n signs are in the scriptures.

Yahawashi Hamasciach whom you called Jesus Christ has a dark skin. Isaac Black, Jacob black, david fair, solomon dark skin, Mary black , daughters of Jerusalem Black. Samson Black with DADA hair (7 locks on his head) only black people has DADA (locks) Ezekiel Black with DADA hair (locks) the Angels Black.

2. Jesus

1. There is no consensus on who the Messiah is: The true name of the Messiah in the New Testament is Yahshuah Ben Yah (Yahshuah the son of Yah). According to their website, there is no universal agreement regarding who the Messiah is. It is not a central component of what defines them as Hebrew Israelites.⁴
2. Virgin Birth: "Yahshuah the Messiah was an Israelite but He had no earthly father, so what made him an Israelite? He was born through the womb of an Israelite woman."⁵

3. Salvation

1. Salvation is only possible by calling on the true name of Jesus in Hebrew, which is Yahshuah Ben Yah (Yahshuah the son of Yah). "You have to call upon him by his Yah given Hebrew name, as it states in Acts 4:12 no other name can be a substitute, no translation of his name. Only his true name given from Heaven which can be spoken in every language, is your key to salvation."⁶
2. Also, John 3:18 says that you are condemned if you do not believe in the name of the only begotten Son.

4. Relationship to Judaism

1. It is necessary to keep the Sabbath and observe various Jewish laws.
2. The Talmud is not God's revelation.

Yes my sister.

The race of Jesus doesn't matter, this is why he's a white man that needs sunscreen.

Hallelujah.

The race of Adam and Eve don't matter too, this is why they are white too.

White skin is the default because white is right.

Jehovah be praised.

What is wrong with these racist black people?

Racism was created by white people, just so you know.

There is strong evidence that the ancient Mesopotamians were black people. A king of Mesopotamia was called Chushanrishathaim Judges 3:8. the meaning of Chushanrishathaim is Cush of double wickedness

At least you know that cush refers to black people, don't you?

Abraham came from Ur of the Chaldees, in Mesopotamia.

2. The Talmud is not God's revelation.

5. Hell

1. Hell is a metaphor and is not a literal place where people suffer.
2. There is no heaven and hell. There is no place where people burn. We are in the caucasian heaven now⁷.

6. Black People

1. Black people are the true Israelites from the tribe of Judah. They argue this from various passages in the Old Testament including Deuteronomy 28 (cf. Leviticus 26) which references ships (Deut. 28:68), serving in bondage (Deut. 28:48), mockery (28:37), and being defeated before one's enemies (28:25). Also, Lamentations 5:10 describes the Israelites who had skin as black as an oven. Therefore, to the Hebrew Israelites, this is conclusive proof that the original Israelites were black.

2. Hispanics, Native Americans, and Negroes are the real Israelites


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI1Zdt031r8.

The Jews are the Negros in America. The Jews are one tribe of people from Judah. The Twelve Tribes of Israel are divided up into various ethnic groups in amongst Hispanics, Native Americans, and Negroes.

3. Many of the popular people in history were black, including Moses, Pharoah, certain Roman emperors, etc.⁸

4. Jesus was black.

But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
