Egypt vs Yahusha's Identity

Image
Why So Many Embrace Egypt's Blackness But Not Yahusha's I posted two videos back-to-back. One said, "The real Egyptians were Black." Got 52 likes (at the time I began writing this). The next one basically said, "Hollywood & Racism, how it changed Yahusha's image ." Crickets. Not one like. That told me everything I needed to know. Before I go any further, let me be clear: I'm not claiming Egypt. I'm not a Hamite. I'm both Israelite and Ishmaelite, a seed of Abraham and descended from the people who were enslaved in this land starting in 1619. So when I say "we," I’m speaking broadly—about how the wider Black community in America and the diaspora tends to engage with history. Not all of us come from the same lineage, but we're affected by the same distortions. It’s easy to claim Egypt. It’s power. It’s pride. It’s Black royalty. We see the pyramids and feel something rise in our chest: a history of greatness t...

Yahusha (Jesus) Didn’t Die for Your Wood Idol

Stop worshipping symbols. Stop bowing to tradition. Look at the truth staring at you. He died for your soul, not a piece of wood. Let’s be real, the cross is a literal idol. That thing people hang on walls, wear around their necks, or bow to in churches? It’s just wood. Carved, polished, maybe even gilded, but at the end of the day—it doesn’t speak, it doesn’t see, it doesn’t save. God already called this out: “Woe to him who says to a tree, ‘You are my father’” (Habakkuk 2:18). That verse isn’t a suggestion, it’s a warning. Yahusha (Jesus) spent his life teaching against idol worship. Yet today, millions treat a piece of wood as holy, praying to the symbol instead of the God who created the universe. That cross? Powerless. Dead. Mute. People have built rituals, traditions, and entire belief systems around it, thinking reverence equals salvation. But it doesn’t. It’s human hands, human minds, human illusion. And here’s something most don’t question: did Yahusha even die on a cross? Som...

Unveiling Yahuah: Why the "Ineffable Name" Doctrine Misses the Mark

Image
For centuries, a pervasive doctrine has taken root in various religious traditions: the belief that the personal name of the Creator, YHWH, is too sacred to be uttered. Often referred to as the "ineffable name doctrine," this teaching has led to the substitution of the Divine Name with titles like "Lord" or "God." But what if this widespread tradition is a misunderstanding, one that actually obscures our understanding of and relationship with the Most High? This post will explore why the doctrine that the name Yahuah (YHWH) is too holy to be spoken is a human tradition, not a divine command, and ultimately diminishes our connection to the Creator. The Command to Proclaim, Not to Silence The very scriptures often cited for reverence actually contain direct contradictions to the idea of an unutterable name. Consider Exodus 3:15, a foundational verse where the  Creator reveals His identity to Moses: "And Elohim said moreover unto Moses, Thus ...

The Gospel According to Hollywood: How Racism Sneaked Into the Church’s Story

Image
Alright, let’s just say it: The Christian church has done some great things over the centuries—building communities, dropping wisdom, preaching love. But there’s a big shadow lurking in the background. Yeah, I’m talking about racism. It’s been deep, systemic, and sometimes quietly swept under the rug, but it’s always been there. 1. Yahusha (Jesus) Wasn’t Who Hollywood Painted Him To Be Every time you walk into a church or watch a biblical movie, who do you see? A pale, blonde-haired, blue-eyed Yahusha? That’s Hollywood’s version—safe, familiar, and frankly, way off. The truth? Yahusha was a Middle Eastern Jew, and by every historical and geographical account, he was darker-skinned, had textured hair, and all the rich melanin that comes with living under that Mediterranean sun. 2. The Prince of Egypt: The Subtle Art of Whitewashing I love The Prince of Egypt. The story is powerful, the music is iconic. But let’s be real—have you noticed Moses’s skin tone? He stays dark for m...
