Letter to the Editor:
Overwhelming troubles facing racial group is evidence of broken covenant
with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
In The April 2010 issue of The Vine newspaper, Marquez D. Ball wrote on [the] controversy [sic] surrounding gays and holy laws governing the church.
("Same-sex Marriage and Church Constitutions".)
[The] article brought up fact that government of the District of Columbia issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples March 9th " despite the efforts of groups such as Stand4Marriage as well as many others to vote on the matter".
News account further disclosed the Supreme Court denied church leaders the right to bring the issue to a vote, and most importantly religious clergy have cited that " the Bible is the final authority on all church matters". The author's news account is a critical analysis in support of the Christian Church.
However, [the] reason why faith groups were not successful in keeping same-sex marriage out of the community is because the Black Christian Church is in controversey [sic] with that sacred authority---due to serving another God: "Jesus Christ".
Many troubles Blacks face in the United States and Africa are result of ignoring sacred laws, which is why Black churches must disband by becoming Jewish synogogues. [sic]
Christianity was taken from the Jewish faith. Five books of Moses---found from very beginning of the Old Testament---forbid [the] practice of “having", "serving", or "bowing down" to " other Gods". Having been raised in the Christian [faith], as a soon-to-be 45 year old Black man myself, it has dawned on me that I am actually Jewish and not Christian. My two first names are Hebew.
When Blacks in the world want respect they are going to have to get right with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
