 INTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE (DISPENSATIONAL TRUTH)

 

RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF GOD.

 

The Fundamental Dortrines of Christian Faith are clearly outlined in numerous books on Theology, but they are not avialable to the average reader and were mainly wriiten for students. for this cause it is important that the reader study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman needeth not to be ashamed, rightly Dividing the word of truth. 2 Tim. 2:15.

 

And that this Ministry only purpose is to lead man to Christ and have a true knowledge of God's love and care for mankind," and to confirm in the faith those who are wavering, and to instruct those who have not been clearly taught the great cardinal Dortines of the Christian Faith.

 

The Holy Scriptures are not a systematic treaties on Theology, History. Science or any other topic. they are a REVELATION from God of his plan and purpose in the Ages as to the earth and the human race

 

The Bible may be viewed as the word of God and the words of the people of God. Its focus and center is that stream of history which emerged with Abraham and Sarah, and flowed through the subsequent centuries to reach a climax in Jesus of Nazareth, his life, death and resurrection.

 

The thoughtful interpreter approaches the Bible with humility, always open to Christian insights of the centuries. the interpreter should be sensitive to the literary composition of both the Old and New Testaments, their historical valve, and above all, their theological massage. Jesus Christ, the incanate Word, is the measure of all other words in the Bible.

 

THE WORD OF GOD AND THE WORDS OF THE PEOPLE OF GOD

 

The basic assumption is that the Bible is the Word of God and the words of the people of God. Although not encompassing the totality of God's Word, from a Christian perspective the central thrust of the Bible may be as that stream of history witnessed to in the Book of Genesis that began with the call of Abraham.

 

MyCell agree with this assumption, and that it is correct from the Jeo- Christian and Jewish viewed point. The account of Abraham's call is preceded by the narrative of creation and the disobedience of the first couple, which resulted in human estrangement from God and the break through of evil in the world.

 

This disobedience affected nature itself, as well as all human beings, who were not only estranged from God, but from one another. Abram's distiny under God was to become the father of a people with land, from whom would come a blessing for all the families of the earth.

 

In this special history, God is revealed as the creator, Holy, righteous, commanding, and loving. He is concerned with saving people from all earthly bondage, as witnessed particularly by the Exodus event, and the prophets of Old Testament, as well as from the deeper bondages of sin and death, proclaimed with power by the New testament. sin bondage is very differant from bondage place by humans on humans, bondage to sin is an act of disobedience to God, for sin is the violation of God's Law.

 

Bondage place by human's is an act of human violation of human laws, and because of sin human put other human in bondage as were seen in the Atlantic slave trade by the British North American colonies in 1619 in Virginia.

 

Slavery spreaded to Maryland, than to the Carolina's, and later Georgia where Africa slaves cultivated tobacco, rice, and indigo. South Carolina depended upon black labor to such an extent that by 1720 more Africans inhabited the colony than Europeans. These colonizers profess to be Christians, but their Christianity, their acts of hatred did not stop them from their sinful acts on slavery and the slave trade.

 

Sin is a damnation to any people. the greed of sin not only cause bondage to others but also causes bondage to oneself, to those who commits such acts of human indinity, but by enslaving others, you also enslave yourself. if your feet is on my back, I am not going anywhere, but as long as your feet is on my back, you can't go any where either, so we both are at a stand still and is bound as long as one holds the other down. slavery not only held back blacks African Ameicans but it also held back those who enslaved blacks. it kept this great nation from reaching its greatest potencials at its very conception. free blacks would have been able to contribute to science, technologies, math, inventions, medicine at a much greater rate, and the economy would have grown much faster because of free minds of both blacks and whites.

 

FREE LABOR

 

The Scripture say that a man is worthy of his labor, from the beginning, African slaves worked without pay in grueling conditions, freedom of movemnet, family disruption, ties to tribes, language, religion, and culture all yielded to the necessities of American slavery all in the name of greed free labor and hatred. no one can defend these so-called Christains sinful behavor toward mankind. the Bible stated without question that the love of money is the root and the motivating factor for this type of sin and evil in the world. it was for the love of money that these so-called Christain Europeans misguided interpretation of scriptures sail in and out of African for slaves that would bring them free labor. the historical record is living proof of that fact.

 

The white man sowed the seed of slavery in America.

 

The Bible say that whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Gal. 6:7 It is undeniable and historical evidential fact that many in the white sociaty of America reap the benifits that was sowed in slavery. this is a fact that cannot be disputed and is still on going as of today. do this mean that all white people in America are the benificiaries of the slave trade in America? no, not at all, but this does not change facts." and so it is incompetent on all Good will whites who are call to be servants of Christ to speak out against all injustices no matter who commit them.

JUBILEE.....THE AFRICAN AMERICAN JUBILEE

 

As we study the African American Jubilee of the Word of God, its important to understand the mirits of the Word of God as to the African Jubilee. Salvation comes by Jesus Christ alone, The only Son of God, Redemption now, and to every one that love his Holy Word.

 

In Jubilee, the though is to bridge the teachings of the Bible with the realities of African American day to day living. to teach Scripture in a way that will make Scriptures relevant to the African American community. MyCell believe this will better serve the black Church in understanding its religious culture and historical and spiritual roots.

 

In so much as the challenges of today, African Americans should move beyound religious rhetoric to more communal relationships. it encourages them to look within the sacred pages and unanimously define themselves as God defines them, not by some church or religious standard but by God who wonderfully made us.

 

As members of the body of Christ, we need to know one another's story, we embrace this opportunity to share the African story as part of the restoration and healing that is needed to bring all of us into the Jubilee community. it is the story that bears repeating, its our story of our bondage in America and our pain and suffering to only God could help us to long induer.

 

This is our story of with sacred history​ of a people and their engagement with God of liberation.

 

This interpersonal engagment, or interpretation of the Scriptures were aften done through songs of freedom, freedom songs, Images drawn from the Bible were wedded to music, and the songs represented a voice against institutionalized slavery, songs such as

 

                GO DOWN, MOSES...WAY DOWN IN EGYPT LAND,

                        TELL OLE PHARAOH, TO

                 LET MY PEOPLE GO. DEY CRUCIFIED MY LORD,

                         AN' HE NEVER SAID A

                 MUMBLIN' WORD. DEY CRUCIFIED MY LORD, AN'

                          HE NEVER SAID A MUMBLIN'

               WORD, NOT A WORD.. NOT A WORD..NOT A WORD.

These were the cries of the African slaves who in their sufferings sing songs to relieved their pain, songs like I' AM COMING UP YOUNDER,

AND I AM COMING UP SOON. old negro spirituals as they were call, coded songs they song in the cotton fields of the south,to let their fellow African slaves no that they will soon run away to go up younder, meaning the north. SONGS SUCH AS STILL AWAY, STILL AWAY HOME, I ANT GOT LONG TO STAY HERE, GOING TO MEET MY LORD," and when the roll is call up younder, I will be there, I am running, running, I can't tary. if you see my brothers or my sisters, tell them I will be there soon.  the slave owners hear them sing these songs in were happy to hear them sing, not understand they were codes massages.  Their masters believed that their slaves were happy as the songs they song were inspiring and joyful to their masters ears. The masters would tell their neighbors, my slaves are good neggers, they are happy and satified with their lives, not having any ideal as to what were really going on with their slaves conditions. Many of these songs are still being song today in many black and white churches across this nation in are known as old nigro-Spiriturals.

JUBILEE (CHRISTIANITY)

 

ANNIVERSARIES AND CELEBRATIONS, A SPECIAL YEAR FOR THE REMISSION OF SIN AND UNIVERSAL PARDON.

 

Growing up in the south at an early age, mothers would take their children to Church offtime not willing to go, and I remember as a child setting on the pew and hearing the songs. one particalar song come to mind. SIGN ME UP FOR THE CHRISTIAN JUBILEE, WANT TO BE READY, READY WHEN JESUS COME. over and over, sunday after sunday they would sing that song and rejoyce with praises unto God. the Christian Jubilee as it were, many who song had no ideal of the historic meaning or value of Jubilee.

 

In Judaism and Christianity, the concept of the Jubilee is a special year of remission of sin and universal pardon. In the biblical book of Leviticus, a Jubilee year is mentioned to occur every fiftieth year, in which slaves and prisoners would be freed, debts would be forgiven and the mercies of God would be particularly manifest.

 

In Leviticus 25-8-13. the bible states, and you shall number seven sabbaths of years unto you, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of the year shall be unto you forty and nine years. Then shall you cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall you make the trumpet sound throughout all your land unto all the inhabitants thereof.

 

It shall be a Jubilee unto you, and you shall return every man unto his possession, and every man unto his family.

 

A Jubilee shall that fifieth year be unto you shall sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it your vine undressed. For it is the Jubilee; it shall be Holy unto you; you shall eat the increase of it out of the field. in the year of this Jubilee you shall return every man unto his possession.

 

Truthly the Jews nor Christians who proclaim rightousness have live up to these and other biblical principals set forth in the Word of God. given the fact that the so-called European Christians and the Church were unwilling to practice what that were preaching about Christian values speaks volumes.

 

as many a day Jews and Christians alike say one thing and practice something difference. Politicians have pefected the act of deception and lies. they have taking their lies to another level. the art of lieing with a straight face have become common place in todays political arena.

 

We have the Pre-History" of the Christian Jubilee, the first Christian Jubilee, The Jubilee of 1350, The Jubilee of 1390 and 1423 the Subsequent Jubilee and the Great Jubilee" of 2000.

 

Today Jubilee is rarely celebrated by both Jew or Christians, and it is good to note that history often changes but the Word of God stay the same.

In the year of Jubilee, the Isrealites were commanded by God to atone for their sins by setting free any slaves or prisoner that they had capture in war. they were to free them and give back thier possessions and return them to their families.

 

It was well excepted in the Jewish tradition and also African tradition if you capture your enimies in war that you would keep them seven years as prisoners or slaves and afterward return them to their land. 

 

The Europeans had none of these traditions. the Romans who capture their prisoners\slaves would keep them for life or until they pardon them for favor or they ran away and escape. For the Isrealites to free their prisoner\slaves during Jubilee celebration were consider Holy unto them; for it was a command from their Holy God to do so, in the year of Jubilee after the return of their prisoners to their families they were to eat the increase of their fields and proclaim liberty throughout all the land Leviticus 25-8-13.

 

The Jubilee year is currently not observed or commemorated because the Jewish people believed that all twelve tribes must be present in order to celebrated Jubilee. In the 6th century BCE, the

Assyrians conquered the Northern Kindom of Isreal and sent the majority of the population into exile. those who were deported are historically known as theTen lost tribes. at that point regularly observants of Jubilee was no longer commemorated or observed.

 

The Jubilee year was no longer marked in any form. biblical law indicates that Jubilee is only observed when all twelve tribes are living in Isreal. Leviticus 25...10 however,some Isrealites are of the opinion that the Jubilee is observed as long as there is a partial representation of each tribe.

Judas as a betrayer of Jesus Christ who delivered Him up to the authorities for crucifixion in exchange for money.

 

These are some of the recorded Books that have been banned from the Bible Canon. MyCell believe that in order for us to get a complete understanding of Biblical history as given to us when found by Achaeologist is vital in our search for Biblical truths.

 

The Holy Scriptures are not a systematic treatise on Theology, History, Science or any other topic. They are a REVELATION from God of his plan and purpose in the Ages as to the earth and the human race. They were given to us piecemeal (Seperately) at SUNDRY TIMES and in DIVERS MANNERS. Heb, 1.1 Holy men of God spake as they were move by the Holy Spirit during a period of 1600 years, extending from B.C 1492 to A.D. 100.

 

Why King James comission that was chosen by King James to put together the Bible canon, and translate them into the Kings english left out these known canons at to time of translation is not completely explain? there have been many explanations given by Biblical historians, but no one can say that all of these books were not inspired by the Holy Spirit no more than they can say that the excepted Bible canon that we have today were not inspired.
