Joe: They are wrong because you have a right to your political views. Politic and racism are not the same thing. Many Blacks are Conservative Republicans they do not go along with what's happening today also many White Conservative as well! I respect their ideology even though I made not completely agree! Cumming like me stood up for his friend against the young Congress lady from Senegal. No one should combine the two and I will stand along with you and tell them they are wrong. There are some Black myths that I do not accept at all. I have friends who thing that all Black were Hebrew, that is not true at all. Were Hebrews intimate with Afrikan, yes! I don't agree that all White people are evil or devils. If it wasn't for White people, I wouldn't be free and I thank them. You cannot hate even the ones who committed slavery! But we must realize that people do hate. Do Black people hate yes of course. Some hate for what happened to them by Whites when they were growing up. I have one here in my church, you know I lived in the south! I told him the other day, brother E you have to let that go and forgive them. The Bible said to love your enemies. It is hard but with prayer and faith things change, I did! What you need to do if you don't mind is to pray for them. Tell them you love them in spite of what they say! There are some you just have to move on! But you keep praying and YAHWEH will show you the way. Blessings!

There is a video titled "Evidence for the Exodus". It is available on amazon. One part of that video shows an archeological dig of a Hebrew "city" (in Goshen), from aprox that time period. The bones showed poor nutrition and early death. The bones showed stress marks of very heavy work. I believe the family of Joseph did eat well for a time, but then finally sold themselves to Pharaoh for food and became enslaved. Concerning slaves owned by the Israelites: The LORD said to Moses: "As for your male and female slaves whom you may have--from the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves. Moreover you may buy the children of the strangers who sojourn among you, and their families who are with you which they beget in your land; and they shall become your property. And you may take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them as a possession; they shall be your permanent slaves. But regarding your brethren, the children of Israel, you shall not rule over one another with rigor." Leviticus 25:44-46 This is the LORD telling Moses that Israelites could buy slaves, and those slaves would not be set free at 7 years, or at the Jubilee year. They could be "inherited" as a "possession". Only fellow Hebrews were to be set free at 7 years, or at the Jubilee. NOT slaves who were non-Hebrew. Interesting I think. Here is Yahweh allowing for slavery.

I think I've said that Joseph's family faired well in Egypt for many years. Only during the final years were they pushed into forced labor for the Egyptians. The Bible calls it "cruel bondage", Exodus 6:9 "So Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses on account of their despondency and cruel bondage." Exodus 13:3 "Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten." Exodus 13:14 "By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:" LXA Exodus 20:2 "I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage." Pharaoh (the Pharaoh of the Exodus) did not treat the Hebrews well at all. His soldiers threw baby boys to the crocodiles, as a cruel method of birth control. Hebrews could not just leave. They were held captive. They were forced to do hard labor, for little "wages" if any. Just because Aaron was able to sneak away to meet Moses, because the LORD had commanded him to, does not mean that Israel - in mass, could have vacated Egypt. Notice that Aaron's wife and family didn't go with him. LXA Exodus 5:2 "And Pharao said, 'Who is he that I should hearken to his voice, so that I should send away the children of Israel? I do not know the Lord, and I will not let Israel go." The Hebrews were held captive by the army of Pharaoh, and were forced to do hard labor. That's either slavery, or some cruel punishment for crimes committed.

Guess who own 9,000 apartments to include some owned in an area declared by President trump to be unfit for human habitation? https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/md-politics/jared-kushner-owns-lots-of-apartments-in-the-baltimore-area-some-infested-with-mice/2019/07/28/0d3cb754-b13b-11e9-8f6c-7828e68cb15f_story.html

The rich have always dominated and used the poor. Jesus railed against it back in His day. Called them hypocrites when they offered their sacrifices. "The poor you have with you always." Doesn't mean we should not try to help - but don't expect to cure the problem. We sympathize with the poor. We want to "fix" the problem. But ongoing handouts don't really help. They prolong the problem. They create dependency. And dependency opens the door for government control. Give a man a fish - he will be hungry the next day. Teach a man to fish (and give him a fishing pole). He will feed himself and his family. He may even teach others to fish. He may even start a business.

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." (Gal. 3:28) "Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all." Col. 3:11)

I will give a specific example of a criticism of The One Project that was either false in totality or in part: The Criticism: * Specific: Several of the founders of TOP obtained graduate degrees from an academic institution that was a Quaker school. * Implication: Those founders had been instructed in a belief system that differed from the truths that SDAs know and believe. The actual facts: * The school that those founders of TOP attended had been founded by the Quakers. However, at the time those TOP founders attended it, it was no longer Quaker. At that time it was owned and operated by a Protestant group. That change had taken place years prior to the TOP founders attending that school. * The academic program that those TOP founders took at that school was focused on helping them to understand how to reach people in our secular society today to convert to becoming a follower of Christ within the Biblical tradition of the ultimate authority of the Bible. Conclusion: You decide for yourself, whether this specific criticism was false in totality or in part. NOTE: The SDA denomination, to this day does not have an academic program designed to prepare people to convert secular members of our society to followers of Christ.

in my opinion, a response to your question may be summed by the following: * The One Project consisted of a two (2) or three (3) day conference. * The intended focus of this Conference was on Jesus Christ and building such a relationship. * "A Major criticism was that this conference did not consist of doctrinal presentations of SDA teachings that are not commonly shared by other Christians. This criticism was true as it was never intended by TOP founders to expand the focus beyond getting to know Christ better, as the conference was limited to two and three days. NOTE: In actual practice, those who attended the conferences were generally SDA members who had already been instructed in SDA doctrinal beliefs. * Other criticisms of TOP typically included statements that were false, either in totality or in part. The founders of TOP typically offered to personally meet with the major proponents of these criticisms and all to often, those people refused to meet with the founders of TOP. * In some actual cases, denominational leaders were actively prevented from meeting with the founders of TOP. In other cases denominational leaders were not able to meet with TOP founders. * In actual practice, as TOP developed, some changes were made in response to criticisms.

In due time 1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

Rachel: There is only one race! We are flesh beings and we ALL come from the Adam's! All YAHWEH did was make us like a rainbow or flowers, or grass etc. What is wrong with color all of us have color and all of us are related. You will not see me write mankind or hu-man or just men. Because the Bible in the original language does not say that. This man word has been a burden over ladies all over the world. We have been exploited, not equally paid, demar by sex and not respected at all and we birth them. YAHWEH made two beings equally, she was curse in child bearing and subject to her husband. Ever lady is not a married person! Just like there are no races! It is time to stand for all truth according to the Bible! Blessings!
