Anyway my personal beliefs as umntu who subscribes to African spirituality, while actively studying Kabbalah...

I COMPLETELY REJECT THE BIBLE.

But I don't doubt the fact that the majority of what its says is TRUE.

Hear me out...

For most part this book takes from iTorah which in essence takes from ancient Kabbalistic laws. Which are laws of Spirit-Science ezingaxhomekekanga on whether we believe them or not because ziyinyani in the physical and metaphysical realm.

Ezazibhalo zokuqala zifana neTextbook. (For example, a maths text book. Ayikwazi uba neFiction. Ixela iiLaws zamanani including what will happen if those numbers & mathematical signs are moved/manipulated in certain ways). Ukuyiphikisa kwethu won't turn 1+1 into anything other than 2.

The problem starts kwiTranslation. Because kwasekuqaleni the original words used were a REPRESENTATION, not literal. (E.g. "Israel" doesn't mean the literal country kwezazibhalo zokuqala. It means a period in one's life where they've collected enough wisdom to be as in tune as possible with God's plan for their destiny).

"It took 40 years for 'israelites' to find the promised land."

Xa ujongile does it not really take someone about 40 years to shed all the nonsense the world has tried to groom her with, ibe kungona eqala ukuphila impilo on his/her own terms. Hence the phrase "life begins at 40." Nevermind the fact that for some it's a bit later or earlier than others. The average age really is 40.

Now xa kuzawthathwa amagama afana na la amele ukuba yiRepresentation njeee, ajikwe enziwe as if aLiteral, obviously it will sound like fiction. Hence iBible ingathi ngamabali nje, and amabali aContradict'anayo.

The above is problem number one yeTorah, before Constantine even got involved.

Then we get to the real reason why I reject the bible even though I know it's mainly filled with truth.

Indawo yokuqala, it would take years of research and fluency in ancient languages to decode ezona meanings zezaFigurative words zibhalwe pha.

Black people have no business studying all that when we're the most spiritual beings alive. We have the capability to access this information directly from its source, God.

Okwesibini, the fact that ibhalwe with the intention yokusikhohlisa. And those who did so were highly intelligent because bambamba with one of two things umntu omnyama.

It's either:

1. You believe this exaggerated version and subscribe to modern day Christianity le ikususayo kwiingcambu zakho,

Or;

2. You figure out that the book is smoke, mirrors and think it's all "lies." And spend your time more concerned with researching facts that back up your claims and concerned with proving to others that ayinabunyani leDoctrine and kufuneka baguquke away from yona.

Both these acts hold you back from the most important aspect of spirituality: Practicing/trusting/growing in nothing other than eziSpiritual powers that wena nabantu bakokwenu nabeRace yakho nanizombathiswe at birth.

If you want to see examples of that look at other religions. They're very well aware that Christian doctrine bububhanxa but have you ever heard them preach that?

You won't.

They're too concerned with growing in their own Spiritual beliefs that they identify with, not caring who outside of themselves/their households believes religion's lies or truths. THIS IS WHY THEY PROSPER.

You win at everything in life xa uhoye only lePath uyibekelweyo by your Creator.

Then still... As an African Spiritual, I am forced by my natural being to believe in nothing other than what I've seen manifest in my own life. Ukugcinwa yiForce that makes sure that as long as ndithemba ithongo/icamagu/iHigher Self/natural instict, which over the years since childhood has led me (via the things I'm naturally inclined to love and be curious about) into safety, prosperity, peace, healing both physically and spiritually, love, support systems and alternative education.

There's no book, priest, gobela, or outside influence who can give me this.

In fact it is at the instances where I've trusted my personal spiritual inclinations, that I've been led to the correct books, priests, gogos who are equipped to guide me at certain stages of my journey.

Now where does this put others of my race and those who share certain aspects of my conviction?

As I chat with Khwezi I'm more convinced than ever that we are our own answer to everything qha uninzi lethu doubt our own potential nale yokuba we're born legends.

Here I speak with someone who, intellectually, is probably a million times more qualified to write Izibhalo Ezingcwele than the so-called scholars who rewrote ancient scrolls baziguqula into this nonsensical doctrine ikhoyo.

Someone who knows very well that he caries the blood of the founders zenkolo eAfrica ngokuba his ancestors ezidabuka eEthiopia were right in the thick of things at the beginning, therefore spiritually amandla akuye wonke as well.

Lest we forget that if Jesus or a character like Him indeed existed, then during his lifetime he was just being. Living his daily life, doing nothing special, not being intentional about leaving a legacy, but ended up becoming a legend spoken of for thousands of years.

Nathi ke, ezizinto sizenzayo, nesizaziyo, esicingba we're just being and we're nothing special, could potentially be weapons of mass-awakening.

We need just to be brave. First at a simple level. Where we openly refuse to follow iinto ezifana neChristianity.

Singayikholelwa just because aspects of it stem from a watered down version of what our ancestors tried to live out and preach. If yona neTools zayo ezifana neBible don't fully serve us, then singoyiki ukuthatha a stand sibhale le isiServe'ayo into. Le siyibone in researching, experiencing, travelling, manifesting.

Limkile ixesha lokulinda abanye abantu basikhulule emakhamandeleni, regardless of what their titles in society and religious circles might be. We're our own last hope. Our ONLY last hope.

SIDE NOTE:

It would be in our best interests to have unwavering belief in the only two things I've taken from the Bible and incorporated into my life.

1. uThixo wakho unawe, akuswelanga nto.

2. We're created in the Image and Likeness of God.

AYIKHO iBuffer phakathi kwethu noThixo. We're equal parts God, and "of" God.

Soon enough kuzawfuneka siyiyeke lento yokucingba something plays the role of ukusithethelela kwiQamata.

I cherish the day that true spiritual leaders will get rid of "isithunywa, ilizwi, iAngel, into ebambekayo ethile, isinyanya" says "uthi uThixo mandithi..."

Nguwe mntase. Not those invisible voices. Unamandla. Own amandla owaphiweyo because aDivine. As impossible as it is to believe, UNAMANDLA okuyenza intando kaThixo without being guided by anything other than yona iQamata ubuqu.

Uthe omnye umfana "if we debated the possibility of ukuba fake kwayo leForce called Jesus in 1995 besingazomanyelwa, but today, siyavakala. Maybe in 2040 we'll discuss not placing as much emphasis on isinyanya as we currently do."

Looking at the *current quality of your decisions*, will your children and grandchildren be able to rely on high possibilities that they'll get jobs, marriage, peace xa benqula wena, or will there be little to no return on the snuif, candles and time they will have invested?
