Ras Moses – Ask yourself
Clayon Buzz - but why did he not want us to read it and made it a crime punishable by death the bible is a collective of different books the KJ 1611 has story's the KJ bible don't have
Rochelle Williams - To control us !! and we still reading
Muhammad Rasheed - He DIDN'T give you the bible. He cherry-picked out of it what he wanted you to preach to each other, and told you what the interpretation was to be. He didn't want you to read it for yourself until you were fully indoctrinated with his twisted version of the message.
Ras Moses - Then where did we get the versions of the bible
Muhammad Rasheed - The various versions were still older than the American slave institution. That's why he had to cherry pick what he wanted you to know. Reading it for yourself as an enlightened independent scholar is liberating, not enslaving. 
But first you must empty your cup.
Ras Moses - The bible teaches hate, oppression, sexism and prejudice there is nothing liberating about that
Muhammad Rasheed - Why do you think that's what it teaches?
Ras Moses - That's what's written in it war bloodshed and predictions of more persecution, war and bloodshed
Muhammad Rasheed - Those things are in it, but in a context of behavioral instruction. It shows the history of the past peoples as a life lesson on how to correctly perform on the Path of God. Reading it and studying to show yourself approved is how you learn those lessons. That's why the slave, who only heard the isolated parts picked out by his enemy, was at such a disadvantage. Studying it for yourself gives you the big picture view, and reveals exactly what God wants of you so you have the opportunity to do it and prosper.
Ras Moses - If God wants us to prosper why would he say blessed are the poor and that it's impossible for rich people to get into heaven, the people in the bible had to be slaves to god or be exterminated
Muhammad Rasheed - He didn't say "blessed are the poor," He said "blessed are the meek." meaning that pride is what will keep you from your reward because it's one of the traits of unbelief. The rich are often very prideful, but it is possible to be a wealthy person and still walk in humbleness, recognizing that to God be the glory. 
Everything we have and are capable of attaining comes from the will of the One God that made us. It is those who recognize that who will prosper. God wants us to seek after His bounty in the earth and build up wealth, because the believer who blesses the poor for the love of doing good will win the highest reward. God is not against business & commerce. He is only against disbelief and the prideful, arrogant attitude that comes with it.
Ras Moses - Hmmmmm I see, then why are faithful Christians among the poorest people in the world and what is so wrong with pride aren't you proud to be a child of god
Muhammad Rasheed - My people suffer from a lack of knowledge. Prosperity comes directly from knowing. Education. Training. Practical application of correct technique. Correct stewardship.
Those who are unaware of this, and fail to seek it out for whatever reason, eat the bitter fruit of the lack of knowledge. 
"Faith without works is dead." And impoverished.
Ras Moses - You still didn't answer my question, stop speaking in parables. So basically what you are saying is that if people aren't under this biblical spell of belief then they are doomed?
Muhammad Rasheed - Ras Moses wrote: "You still didn't answer my question, stop speaking in parables."
I don't speak down, Ras. I only speak up. No one is worth coming down to a lower level. You should study more. Level up so you may understand.

I’m saying your traditional enemy knew its worth, and gave you just enough to control you.  But you already knew that book for yourself before you came to America as chattel, and in those days you were free.  Free under the One God.  I’m saying that without studying on your own, out from under someone else’s cherry-picked ideology – whosoever that someone else might be – you will only continue to suffer.

Ras Moses - Lol u funny bro, if your brother is lower than you shouldn't you reach down to safe him oh exalted one 
Ras Moses - There is no freedom under the biblical god only submission and those who fail to submit are doomed to condemnation, your god is a jihadist, dictator and warlord 
Muhammad Rasheed - My brother should have the initiative, drive, and motivation to want to better himself. I can only lead by example. If he truly believes other people should lessen themselves to be on his level, instead of him coming UP to be the best HE can be so that he may know a better quality of life, then I cannot help him. Only when he demonstrates the former state, with a solutions-driven will & determination, can I help him come up. 
Muhammad Rasheed - Submission under the One God is freedom indeed. The One God says that I am free to do whatever I want, learn whatever I want, BE whatever I want. He merely says that I should choose wisely because there will be an eventual accounting for my choices. 
It is other beings (the state, the white man, priests, etc.) that condemn and restrict me. Study on the Path of God grants me the Freedom to see things the way they really are, and the assurance to act accordingly.  Those who are unaware of this truth live their lives very differently, even when they shallowly claim to believe.  You know the people of God by the fruit they bear, but you won't recognize that fruit for what it is unless you study to show yourself approved.  First, you must KNOW.
The One God is none of those things you've named. Instead He is the All Knowing, the Most Merciful, The Most Compassionate, and the Best Guide. What facts can you supply that support your point of view? Tell me.
