The Bible is Black History Quotes

“Further proof of this is that an alarming number of Black millennials are weakening the Black church by disassociating from it and renouncing Jesus Christ. However, they ignore how their existence in America has been enhanced because of the witness of the Black church. They enjoy privileges and opportunities that their recent fore parents, some of whom are still alive today, never dreamed of having. These prizes were won by the struggle of the Black church and handed to this current generation. They are enjoying the fruits from a tree that they did not plant; yet, while their lips, dripping with the sweet nectar of the fruit, many of them seem to be the most vocal and hardened critics of the same Black church that sowed the seed.”

“If these apostles would have encouraged a slave rebellion it would have proved counterproductive to their cause because it would have only intensified their suffering. The rationale was, “why heap more suffering upon ourselves when Jesus’ return is close at hand?” These passages were not validations of slavery any more than they were prohibitions of marriage, or mandates to stay in troubled, abusive marriages. But these passages were encouragement to the Christians in slavery or in any troubled situation, to persevere because the end of the age is near when they will be freed from the pain of the troubles of this world to enjoy eternal bliss with Christ.”
