So you may be reading this and aren't too familiar with structured religion.
Who really was Jesus, while on earth? What was it like during his time?
- Jesus was born into Judaism: he was a Jew who practiced in the faith. Today, we would identify him as being a Jewish Christian.
- Jesus was smart--perhaps, today, he would have been classified a part of the gifted-and-talented. Remember: Only the Catholic and Jewish priests, or formal priests, were allowed to be taught how to read and write.
- Jesus was a homeless wanderer. Most financially challenged people and his followers had no consistent home style. They often slept outside (warm climate). Yet, they knew how to conduct themselves in other people's living quarters.
- Jesus was born to fulfill the first promise of the one and true living God. The second promise has yet to be fulfilled--the ending of the world as we know and the return of Jesus (See Holy Bible, Book of Revelation). It is all about this promise that we participate in Christianity. No humankind knows the day or the hour of Jesus's return--to fulfill the promise--yet, we must tell others and generational family member sets about the coming of the Lord (Jesus). Will generations of the future know the sound-like of a trumpet, if all music is taken out of our communities and public schools?
- During the times of God's chosen people, the Jews, the 12 tribes of Israel, the Jewish people were killing soo many people. At the Valley of Jehosophat and at Calvary and at the area perfectly named the area of Skulls, hundreds of people, daily, were put to death on a Jewish-inspired cross for some reason (sin) or another. There were so many crosses and dead bodies in the described areas that people could hardly walk in a single pathway. Jesus, the human man, was no different. He did something wrong in the land where you could do no sinful acts. "You can't do this; you can't do that--"
- It wasn't just about the financially "poor" that Jesus consistently said [to all social economic classes and diverse people] "Come unto me, all ye that labor (work in some kind), and (if you are) heavy laden, and I will give you rest." --Holy Bible, Book of Matthew 11:28
- The Romans and/or white people used to refer to themselves as apes in a negative way "you ape."
- Then there was also Atila the Hun.
- Serf board was not Beyonce's song but a board of people who were bound to the land for life--including their offspring upon generation upon generation. They weren't allowed to own land, or any type of property. Said individuals could not marry unless given permission from the person who owned them. A serf was not defined as person who was a slave. A serf was also exempt from serving in the military.
- Only people of the noble family could wear fur, or have fur on their garments.
- If you were not a part of the traditional denominations or religious sects, you were kindly identified as a secular priest. Secular priests were believed to not have the same religious power to provide assistance to people or their church members.
- The best church services, back in the day, were held in caves--whether preached by traditional or secular priests. Many preachers were forbidden to even have a temple or church; or an actual religious building.
