  32. So everybody went to rehearsal. They have shout rehearsals? Why are they all shouting alike? This is why preachers say church spirit vs Holyghost. A church spirit everyone mimics one anotherā€™s fongues (fake tongues) and shout. Even if they change one step itā€™s still a church spirit. Bible says flesh cannot please God (Rom8:8)nor would it glory in His presence. (1cor1:29).The Bible also says God must be worshipped in spirit and truth (jhn4:24). That God is not mocked (gal 6:7)Discernment is key in a world that do not have a true relationship with God. They donā€™t know Him. Heā€™s only relevant when they want him to be. Bibles lie on nightstands and corners dusty. Thatā€™s how the relationship is dusty. So donā€™t be fooled when you see much shouting. Know its a formality with no power.

    Acts 2:36-40 KJV
    Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. [37] Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? [38] Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. [39] For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. [40] And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

  34. +14 The American South from 1500 to the end of the civil rights movement was governed by systemic, legally enforced white supremacy. Enslaved people were stripped of all human rights and treated as property. After emancipation, terror, lynching, and convict leasing replaced chattel slavery, effectively denying Black Americans basic liberties until the mid-20th century.Slavery (1500s to 1865)The Southern economy was built entirely on the forced labor of millions of enslaved Black people.Complete Subjugation: Enslaved people were defined as chattel. They were subjected to horrific physical abuse, family separation, and total lack of autonomy.Legal Codes: Slave codes were aggressively enforced to prevent rebellion, making it illegal to educate Black individuals, assemble in groups without white supervision, or own property.Theology Used as Justification: White enslaver society utilized a perverted interpretation of Christianityā€”often cherry-picking scripture to argue that slavery was divinely ordained and that Black people were inherently inferiorā€”to ease their own conscience and justify brutal violence.Reconstruction and the Rise of Jim Crow (1865 to 1950s)Following the Civil War, the abolition of slavery briefly brought civil liberties for Black Americans, but this was violently dismantled.White Supremacist Terrorism: Groups like the Ku Klux Klan and paramilitary organizations engaged in a massive campaign of political assassination, arson, and massacres.Racial Terror Lynching: Between 1877 and 1950, over 4,400 African Americans were lynched in targeted acts of racial terrorism. Victims were hanged, burned, and mutilated by white mobs who acted with almost total impunity.Disenfranchisement & Segregation: Southern states enacted new constitutions and "Jim Crow" laws. Black Americans were stripped of the right to vote through poll taxes and literacy tests, and were legally barred from using the same public facilities, schools, and hospitals as white citizens.Incarceration as ControlWhen chattel slavery ended, the Southern penal system was rapidly adapted to maintain the exploitation of Black labor and enforce racial hierarchy.Convict Leasing: Black Codes were passed to criminalize petty, fabricated, or entirely legal actions (like "vagrancy," or being unemployed).Forced Labor: Convicted Black men, women, and children were leased to private corporations, plantations, and mines. They were forced into brutal labor under conditions that historians widely consider to have been "worse than slavery," resulting in massive death rates.The Complicity of ChristianityThroughout both the slavery and Jim Crow eras, white supremacy was deeply intertwined with religious institutions in the South.Divine Sanction: White ministers frequently preached that slavery was Godā€™s will, and that segregation was necessary to maintain the "purity" of the white race.The Fellowship of the Mob: Many lynchings and acts of racial terror were carried out by white Christians who viewed their actions as civic and religious duties to protect white superiority, actively blurring the lines between their faith and white supremacy.
