confirms, Today I have given you the choice between life
and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on
heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh,
that you would choose life, so that you and your
descendants might live! Galatians 5:1 further confirms;
So, CHRIST has truly set us free. Now make sure that you
stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the
law. The Absolute Truth is that this assertion is the
height of arrogance and is eternally dangerous. Romans
9:20 (MSG) warns us; Who in the world do you think you
are to second-guess GOD? Do you for one moment
suppose any of us knows enough to call GOD into
question? GOD grants humankind free will to do, think
and speak as he/she chooses. Yes, our choices do have
consequences. But no human being has the authority to
deny what GOD has granted.
Fact – They don’t understand us: This assertion is
underpinned by the largely held position that most
white people do not understand the African American
experience. Sociologist, psychologist, and a host of
learned professionals could produce mounds of research
supporting this belief. Understandably, this void in
understanding lends itself to pervasive distrust and
suspension.
