The Nation of Gods and Earths

While in jail, I had a spiritual awakening. I met a positive brother by the name of Jamal who befriended me early at my stay in the Fort Bend County Jail. Jamal was well in his late fifty’s and he was one of the first inmates to speak to me when I entered the tank. Jamal was arrested and charged for aggravated assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon and received a fifteen-year sentence. He was currently waiting on chain to go to the Texas Department of Corrections also known as TDC. Jamal was deep into the black power movement and was a strong advocate for establishing a better way of thinking. We studied and talked about everything under the sun together from Christianity, The Nation of Islam, The Five Percent Nation, and The Nation of Yahweh to everyday current events. Jamal considered himself to be a political prisoner much like Geronimo Pratt, Stokely Carmichael or a Shaka Sankolfa. He claimed that he was innocent and was being held as a pawn in the system, especially in the County of…

The people of God have always been missional. God chose and led his people on a path that would bring him glory and bless the nations. God wills to be known as the one God of the universe, and he will use his people to do it. Though Israel often rejected the idea of blessing the nations, they are a tool in the hands of the almighty. “The mission of God is to preserve and maximize the blessing that is inherent in the multiplication and spread of the nations while removing the blight of human…

are not like the City of God supports an accurate illustration of a proper Christian understanding of “dual citizenship”. The United States is not an example of the City of God because of its lack of upholding Christian values. In “Excerpts from Augustine’s City of God”, Augustine displays the values of the two cities of “dual citizenship”: the City of God and the City of Man. He explains the faulty beliefs of the City of Man around the time of the fall of Rome: “…the earthly by the love of…

the main focus of this book, is the angelic view. The angelic view postulates that the sons of God were angels, although as previously mentioned they are not necessarily limited to just angels, more on that later. The phrase “sons of God” comes from the Hebrew words “beney elohim” or “beney ha-elohim”. “Beney” simply means “sons”. So what is an elohim?

The statement “The god of Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy and Joshua is best understood as the family god of Abraham and his lineal descendants.” is better understood to be a factual statement than the alternative. This is due to the relationship God has with the Abrahamic family in these books and what the definition of “family god” makes the most sense of being. With family god meaning a god that caters to a specific family it is plain to see that the God of Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, and…

Jesus came announcing that the kingdom of God was at hand (Matthew 3:2) and then preceded to demonstrate what God’s true kingdom on earth would look like. However, as Robert Stein points out, “Jesus never defined exactly what he meant by the kingdom of God/heaven” in his teachings (Stein 61). Instead, Jesus told John’s disciples “the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor” (Luke 7:22). In doing…
