Religion / Re: Is The Hebrew Monotheistic Belief A Product Of Religious Syncretism? by Pilgram: 7:04am On May 03, 2017
The black Hebrew Israelite movement is purely a CULT. It is not Christian, It is not Jewish, Hebrew, anything!..
They pick and choose scriptures as "proof-texts" to support their weak platform.
They believe in celebrating some Jewish feast days, and a strict Saturday sabbath, but that means nothing if all is not recognized--therefore no Jew in them. They mention Jesus, and his crucifixion, but it doesn't do anything--as they do not believe in redemption or the Triune God that Christians believe in.
They have no salvation message, no way to heaven/hell-except they are one of many cults that claim they are the "remnant" church. They read the Torah, but for some reason mention Jesus--who was not in the torah. Essentially there are no beliefs--only what they don't believe. An over emphasis on worrying about avoiding paganism. I find this "religion" to be purely made up--and a form of racist anti white, grasping of self-importance.


1. The Apocrypha is not an accepted section of the Bible. If you haven't read it--Do!! Absurd stories, especially the book of Thomas. So why do they find importance here, if this is a "new Testament" group of writings?

2. Their primary proof-text doesn't prove anything about European Slave trade. Deuteronomy 28:68 gives no hint of the future slaves taken to the west from Africa.

3. The Egyptians--slave holders of the Hebrews-- were of many races. Typically the Hebrew slaves were represented with Red hair, and Mediterranean Olive skin
not---not--black!!!!

There were other races mixed in, but Egyptians were not particularly concerned with skin color

4. The Southern Poverty Law center--a group that helps especially blacks in the south has warned against this group, that they are becoming militant and racist. Some action is brewing to be taken against them.

5. I am a Christian with Jews in my family..I know my Bible well, know Judaism well. It pains me to see my lost black friends latch on to this Cult for a place to belong. It preys on ignorance, and gullibility. It is sad--Just read the Bible--and read commentaries by scholars who have more education than you--in ancient languages, the Bible in context, etc. Read from various versions of the Bible (some Original translations aside from the KJV include the English Standard Version, The New American Standard Version, and I find so interesting, and Independent translation by a non-Christian translator--by Willis Barnstone--Title--The New Covenant, and title--Poetry of the Bible--covers it all in a translation that is original and not slanted in any way.

This post fits elsewhere, along with BHI writings, but is important to keep the many Cults in our midst strong in our minds--Morman, Jehova's Witness, Seventh Day Adventist, Some branches of Roman Catholic--Not all Roman Catholics---please!!!!! But the one which believes in a "Holy Quartet" (Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Mary) just to name a few.....

Come quickly, Lord Jesus!!!!
