"The gospels demonstrate that Jesus, a charismatic leader regarded as a potential troublemaker, was executed on political charges."
Where the militants at? Raise a fist and show respect...
It would be irresponsible and ignorant of myself to ask you to just trust me that Jesus Christ is our Lord...
Irresponsible , due to the fact that I come here telling you that I will tell you the truth and do not give you proper information to make a decision for yourself...
That might be mistaken as me trying to take advantage of the people...I am not here to take advantage of anyone , Rather I am here to get you to realize YOU have advantages and untapped power through Jesus Christ.
AND it would be ignorant of me to assume anyone would blindly follow what I am telling you.
I will also never ask you to do anything I havent done or am willing to do myself....
So , with that being said , I would like YOU to read what I just read...
This is the diary of Jesus Christ..You think you know...But you have no idea.
For those of you in the south....You think you know...But you have no idea Patna...
For those of you in the east...You think you know...But you have no idea son...
I dont know if this link will be converted or not , SO if it's not , Please copy and paste it into your favorite browser...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_christ
Up above is an unbiased report on Jesus Christ...
I say unbiased because if I was trying to steer you in a certain direction , I could have easily pasted the parts I want you to know.
But no sir/mam...We seek truth , DO we not?
So follow the link and read the history , the contrasting views , the different religious views , The truth...
Get to know the man from a perspective you may have not previously known him by...
Then start talking to him...Building that PERSONAL relationship.
Like I said , I could copy and paste and quote and give YOU what I want YOU to read..
But all your doing then is absorbing what I feel is best for you....
There is aJapanese proverb that reads..
"Tell me - I will forget - Show me-I may remember-BUT INVOLVE ME and I WILL UNDERSTAND"
Do your research...Dont tell me you don't have time...In between Youtube videos and updating your status and taking quizzes...Get Involved.
Always do your research , Make sure what people are telling you is legit.
But ya'll already knew that right :)
Something came to me while I was reading on Christ....
If you believe all of this is made up , I have to challenge you from another angle now...I gotta new trail while reading...
Do you have any idea how genius you would have to be to make up the entire bible?
Things written over 2000 years ago still have relevance to our lives today...
Timeless knowledge is contained in these 66 books...
I know the Bible has been translated to this and that and easy to read and they even had a "Ghetto" version out at one point...
The wording may have gotten more eloquent or easier to read over the years but the core of it remains the same...
DOTH THOU FOLLOW ME?
10 years ago many of us thought the world was ending when the clock struck midnight in America.
So.....DO I even need to finish that?
How can something hold up and still be relevant that was written THAT many years ago?
The poetry-The life lessons-The knowledge and Wisdom concerning every issue that we face as a human race is included in this book....Consider the level of Psychology the authors would have to have... were supposed to be so "Evolved" yet we cant replicate something this timeless today...
All I am saying is , If it's fake , The dudes who wrote it originally were super genius and had vision none of us have seen....
Lastly ...
I wanna speak on emulation.
Alot of youth love to act like their favorite emcee or some prefer to be their favorite angry/depressed rocker .... You love rebellion ...
SOOOOOOO Many on the streets have the mentallity that if someone has been to prison or is in a gang or is extremely violent that they are idols...WHY?
What kills me is rappers make music describing a lifestyle they USED to live ( SOME OF THEM) to people living that lifestyle currently ...BUT , The rappers who claim to be so street , now have bodyguards and buisness to run...They are making huge profits and living a lifestyle that you more than likely wont...
You think they are going to risk their investments and actually do what they say?
and sometimes these dudes actually DO what they say and throw everything they have been blessed with away....When keeping it real goes wrong...
So these cats provide a soundtrack of violence and hate and ignorance and preach materilism and brag nonstop about how they will kill you -your crew and then bang your boo and then ..hop back in that black benz.. on 22's...and drop 100 thou on a peice of jewlery...etc...Need more info ? Turn on your radio.
While the listener is actually LIVING it...Their friends are actually dying , they are actually feeling the pain of this 'Scarface' Mentallity....They are dropping out of school and enrolling into the penal systems...While the rapper gets rich preaching a false and ignorant doctrine...They are false idols , Modern day golden cows.
Point is , their is a mentallity that intelligence is weak and that love is soft.
And when someone mentions JESUS to you , Your mental image is automatically that of the hollywood Jesus and the times you went to church and was bored out of your mind and anything else that is weak , You associate with christians or Love....
This is why I encourage you to read the history up above and I challenge you to show me where he was weak...
This man was EXECUTED for going against the Grain and challenging the very establshment.
READ and SEE from a different view...Forget what you have seen with the light skin and blue eyes...Research the history and get to know the man who was the definition of hardcore...YET , never through a fist.
Time to wake up ya'll.....
I've been stabbed and shot at and served 10 years probation and the majority of my friends have seen prison time...Is that enough "Street Cred" for you?
WE MUST CHANGE OUR MENTAL...
What is happening now is NOT working....
Please do your research so we can continue to progress in some way each day...
God bless
Peace
