*BLACK POPES AND SAINTS*

[BenzSl2]

:checkit: With all the hoopla about the new pope,and given the fact that there WAS a Black man in the running, I started looking for Black popes amd saints. Here are a few:

Pope St. Victor

African by birth, He condemned and excommunicated Theodore of Byzantium who denied the divinity of Jesus Christ. In a council held in Rome in 196, he fixed the Feast of Easter for the Sunday after the 14th day of the moon of March. He suffered martyrdom under Servus. He was the Church's 14th Pope.


Pope St. Gelasius

St. Gelasius was born in Africa and reigned as Pope from 492 to 496. He decreed the Canon of Scripture with which the Tridentine Canon agrees. His theory on the relations between the Church and the state are explained in the Gelasian Letter to the Byzantine Emperor Anastasius. Gelasius was active in rooting out the last vestiges of paganism in Rome.


St. Josephine Bakhita 1947

Sudanese slave girl born in 1869. She was later sold to an Italian Consul who took her to Italy where she eventually became free. She was baptized and later joined the Canossian Sisters in Vincenza, Italy, lived a holy life, and beatified May 17, 1992. She was canonized on October 1st 2000. Her feast is 8 February.

THEY EVEN HAD MAH MAN mARTIN LISTED AS A SAINT!

Martin Luther King, Jr.

1968

Civil Rights Leader, April 4 or January 15th
Had Dr. King lived, he would be turning 75 on January 15. Martin died at the hands of an assassin on April 4, 1968, a few months short of his fortieth birthday. Human history has forever been changed by the movement he headed. Our current level of sensitivity to human rights issues and inclusiveness can be traced to the strides gained by the Civil Rights Movements of the 1950's and 1960's. Martin Luther King, Jr., was a rare human being who sacrificed his life for a vision of equality for every person — not just African Americans. On November 2, 1983, both the Senate and the House of Representatives agreed that we should never forget Dr. King's contributions to the world: the third Monday in January was declared a national holiday.

I just wanted to bring this out, when you use the word "saint" you are refering to a black hebrew Israelite man. Thats who the term origionally applied to.


Psalms 148:14 "He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD."

The Children of Israel are the Holy people of God according to Deuteronomy the 7th chapter and the sixth verse.

As the brother Israelite Souljah explained in another post, the real Israelites, (Jews) are BLACK people.

Amo 9:7 "Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD...."

God compared the Nation of Israel to the Ethiopians in COLOR. The Ethiopians is a nation of Diverse colors ranging from a Dark Skinned brown to a light skinned brown just as the children of Israel are.

Another famous scripture that people like to blaspheme gives the color of the Jews (Judah)

Jer 14:2 "Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground..."

We on this side in America, So-called Negroes, West Indians, Haitians, Hispanics, Native American indians... Those of Negroid and Indian descent, are the Israelites. There are prophecies of the Bibvle that verify this, such as the famous Deuteronomy 28:68.

Deu 28:68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

There is only 1 people who were brought into any SLAVERY by ships. This specifically refers to the cargo slaves ships that our people were brought here in.

We are the people of God, we are the sons of God, we are the Holy people of God, and we are the SAINTS of God that the Bible speaks about.

It is important to know who we are and where we come from, because what we are going to find out is that all the promises of God that are recorded in the Bible pertain to US. We are being called to return to God.
