Bingo, it is about community

[James and Terry Hamilton]

A member writes:"G-d gave us a brain, limbs, five senses to follow his way and teaching, including the Old Testament!!!

Black People Enrich Everyone except Themselves!!! I love the old way things were done and will hold dear to my heart--the community took care of one another. It is time that we Unite again in this fashion and enrich and empower our communities.

Ah...Bingo it is about community..( not colour-nor arrogance as some would teach).it is about your rich Hebrew based culture before the diaspora...when we were as a culture One in the Divine.~~~~~The Original TaNaKh which reads slightly different from your OT ~~
The English version....Misses the very nature of Ha'Shem and the giving of Torah to the Hebrew People and the stranger with them, not just for Israel but more-so for the seventy nations of the world. (Ref:Temple offerings for the Nations)

 IMHO, having explored thousands of writings of historical benefit; I suggest that before six generations of washing you from your original roots as slaves {Unless it was with a Hebrew Owner as they had to keep Torah correct as to the people they employed VS: those gentiles (mostly Portuguese and Dutch) who treated people like cargo and base creatures who initiated the slave trade}.

It is also my opinion that we are in a paradigm shift of greater knowledge...that HaShem is opening our eyes to hundreds of years of lies and in some cases a thousand years of misconstruted religious fabrications that continue to keep people en-slaved in their minds and failing to grow up into the full-stature of the one man / the Adam Qadmon or the Messiah within or as the Rabbi Yeshua tried to teach the king within.

Every man needs to become One with the Master. Yet, that place of intimacy is only revealed when all the idolatry is removed..all of the Idols.

There are ten main Mitzvot..Four are directly between you and G-d...the others are community:
The first one is HaShem stating His rightful place upon the seat of your heart.
Number two commandment is the hard one,... it is your responsibility to seek out that which G-d delights within you,... and those things He does not.
(Trust me in this my dear reader, in the season to root up and pluck out of your life,.. He will do just that...in order to plant His awesome truth.)
PaPa is tired of all the foolishness the colour divisions and all the arrogant ignorance as a human species all divided against one another...

To be a Jew, is not about color or any other trait. But rather to be part of the house of Israel, and to be part of a quarom, and pray / Daven along side of me, as my brother.

.Shalom and above all enjoy your journey.
