I renounced AKA in 2015 and can witness to the freedom one will get. I was chaplain in the chapter too. But thankful to Yah for deliverance and freedom!🙏🏾🔥
wow im in kappa right now and dont feel comfortable in this at all.. so when u say freedom u mean on a mental health way or spiritually?? Any weight came off you?
@@jamesthomas2679 thinking about renouncing yes.. i have anxiety, depression, and maybe some trauma from it.. i didnt care to go through it at first.. as peer prssure and my curiosity got me caught up in it.. i have nothing against the people in it.. this stuff is just unhealthy for me mentally and spiritually
Thanks so much for sharing your spiritual journey of Freedom from the Fraternal order. My nephew is a member of this same Fraternity and I will be sharing your video with him and my niece who wants to pledge a sorority soon. I've listened to other videos but your scripture references combined with your real life experiences with the oaths, pledges and symbolism made your video intriguing and easy to follow. Thanks again and may the Most High Yah bless you and your family!
❤Awesome you made the right choice GOD & your higher self will lead you the rest of the way .I love seeing y’all wake up from that i know it was hard but It’s worth your life to live on this realm /earth 😊❤❤❤❤
Praise the LORD for your courage and wisdom. Most of the people in the comments section are sadly ignorant. I denounced A Phi A long before anyone came on youtube doing it. It seems that Jesus is waking up the true Body of Christ.
I dare you to look up the word "cult" and see if your response is relevant and if you practice Christianity youll definitely see where "cult" fits right in. Go ahead and be brave and look lol . you know what since you will be too proud to do it , ill do it for you lol. CULT - "a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object. let that sink in.
Thank you for being humble, surrending to the Spirit of God and being transparent with your story. I attended the Alpha Chapter HBCU. As an undergraduate student, I was surrounded by those who have taken an oath of some kind to a secret society/organization. I was never interested. I noticed the “privileges and favoritism”. As if you only mattered if you “pledged an Allegiance”. Knowing who I am and being clear of God’s purpose helped me avoid the witchcraft and ritualistic practices. Some of my classmates who took The Oath are clergy and Leaders in the community now. I never understood the need to assume another culture’s identity or hide behind idols. The “elitest” mindset is idolatry. This creates more division and exclusivity in the community. Doing Good doesn’t erase the loyalty to idols and false gods. I could say much more about the behaviors and the symbolism…but I won’t. Homecomings are saturated with the sorority and fraternity activities. The world desperately needs healing and it’s about an individual’s relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Here’s the scripture on branding: “In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces, the headdresses and anklets and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms, the fine robes and the capes and cloaks, the purses and mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras and shawls. Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-dressed hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, branding.” Isaiah 3:18, 20, 22-24 NIV isaiah.bible/isaiah-3-24 May God Bless you and give you clear instructions in your next chapter forward. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
You just said something. I strongly believe 99.9% of the black celebrities are into this organisations. They are also responsible for the device in the BLK community since they take orders from someone else. All this blk men ain't shit or BLK women ain't shit was started by underground agents from those organisations. They make u to hate ur own or anyone that is not in the brotherhood or sisterhood .
Good Scripture was written 3000 years ago. I think fraternities and Sororities came about a century ago. The stuff people make up and misuse scripture over is unbelievable. Police take oaths, doctors take oaths, Boyotts take oaths. This scripture has absolutely nothing to do with black fraternities and sororities. Notice nothing about white fraternities etc. People please know God for yourself and don't let anyone bring you into bondage again. If you a greek you unto God. If you are not a Greek you unto God. As long as you have by faith given your heart to Christ for what he did for you, not what you do for him. None of us are worthy. It's actually Blanatant ignorance to think we can do anything to earn salvation. No man can! It's the Gift of God to any who believes. Period! A Phyyyy. Loving Jesus! 06!
@@TheProphet-gc1pt The scripture on branding or damaging ones body as an act of loyalty to demonic convenants. Only the enemy rebukes God’s word by attempting to discredit the validity and plant a weed among the fertile soil of the God’s Holy Word! The ONE true living God, Creator of the Universe, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the same yesterday, today and forever. God does nothing in Secret. Police , Presidents , etc oaths”, are done in public do not include kneeling, hazing, idolization, blasphemy the scriptures, witchcraft, etc.. of any kind. God is no respect of persons. This applies to all secret societies of all kinds. You do not have to sell your soul and enter into demonic covenants to be successful, or do community service. Believers of Jesus Christ do all they in the NAME of Jesus. Anything else is from the evil one who wants the Pride and Glory for himself. It is deception to worship other gods, especially Greek, Roman and Egyptian gods. The WORD of God is very clear. The prophesy of God turning away from those with a reprobate mind is happening before our very eyes. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places. The Earth and everything in it will pass away, but the WORD of the One True and Living God will remain. There is a difference between reading the scripture and being led by the Spirit of God to STUDY and RECEIVE revelation knowledge. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. You have free will. I pray you go with God. At the very least go in Peace. Blessings to you. ✨🙏🏽✨
Thank you for your testimony.. I shared your story with my brother who is ignorant to what he is supporting. I used this for educational purposes… Thanks again and good luck in life brother…. Freedom
Ask him this When you're at the greek letter altars, Mason/eastern star altars, etc what god are you performing those rituals and ceremonies for? Yeshua Hamashiach (JESUS) is the true light, and we are to put the light on the lamp stand for the world to see. The sororities, fraternities, secret societies all say they have a light, but it's under the lamp stand with a veil. When you cross over what do you think you're crossing over to? When you get your new name who are you? When you take the oath who is it to? Think of the words you use while at ceremonies... being spiritually weak and spiritually d3ad are real, and it leads to falling into darkness. Repent and turn
Need to get rid of all the symbols paraphernalia etc any remnants of it! Even write a letter to the organizations revoking your membership affiliation or connection with it! Close that door/portal just to be safe you’ve covered all your bases! Yah bless! ♥️💯
Thank you. God Bless you! God says my people PARISH for the LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. (Hosea 4:6) We have a duty as CHRISTIANS to feast on God's word DAILY and LIVE by it so that we can Put on the Full Armor of God and stand against the Devil’s Schemes! (Ephesians 6:10-18)
God is touching your heart, and spirit, because the Word tells us, " greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world". He's letting you know, that those associations aren't for you, and you took that heed. Trust me I've been there, and when God is speaking to you, that's all you hear. Keep putting on your armor, and keep that contact line open, and let no one steer you wrong. Your doing what God wants, and that's all that counts.🙏🙏🙏
what does this have to do with being a service organization to our communities.....we pray that God gives us the right spirit to help someone....before we do anything....we pray after we sing our fraternity song.......stop proselytizing your religious beliefs!
@@rickywalkeraoa anything that has Greek, Roman, anything else outside of God and knowing him is a farce and cover for paganism. No matter how you want to put it. You stated sounds a lot like the masons. Anything outside of following the Way is not God related. You can argue all you want to, but those organizations only birth groups like the CBC, and they only do so much,just to say, "see look we are doing" and that's for a minute, and then they go back to doing what they do, and that's doing for themselves just to look good. If you have to tell me about all the good they are doing, then it's not done between them and God, and the Word says those things should be done between that individual and God. So they are not in line with the Word, and so they are out of line with God. So tell yourself what you want to and I'm not keep going back and forth with you. Bye.
Love the way you allowed the Holy Spirit to chip away at you…while providing you with the Word-He always testifies of Jesus (the Word). And, He gave you courage as He gave to Joshua - Josh 1:6-9, being strong and of good courage. Be blessed young brother and keep fighting the good fight of faith!
Great vid Michael! It’s interesting because young people, 18-21 are making decisions in undergrad while still trying to understand themselves. I’m thinking about doing a similar vid about being a Christian and still affiliated. I view it the same way as organizations that employ us, unless their 100% Bible based. The whole concept of coming to work at 8am, having a boss, submitting to the rules and vision of the job - is in a way ‘ritualistic’. Kudos to you for having the courage to share! 💪🏾🙌🏾
BELOVED THE LORD HAS OPENED YOUR EYES. AND YOU WILL RECEIVE LASG BACK FROM THE WORLD. HOWEVER Be Encouraged in the Lord. Let all that have an ear to hear...let them Hear. The gate is narrow. Praise the Lord for your eyes opening.
All praises be to God the Creator for you answering the call to repent and return unto him which required you to renounce and/or denounce your vows/oaths made with the devil which was is notated in the Initiation Rituals that it was unto Final Judgement. I truly believe and feel comfortable to say that God the Creator is merciful to forgive you all if you wholeheartedly repent and renounce the vows/oaths. As long as we all have breath, we have an opportunity to repent and return unto God the Creator and he will receive us! Again, I’m so thankful you adhered to God’s call! One (you) more up and many more to go (others)!
This is so great to hear that you denounce your fraternity and I know the devil is a lie, and I too denounce my fraternity kappa from the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff of spring of 1990. As I cross over I felt this demonic spirit come over me and I knew something was wrong and I just left and didn't look back at all i know God has a plan for you, I would like to to say welcome brother to family of Jesus Christ May the Most High God richly bless you 🙏
Well my walk was a little half and half, but the right half finally kick in and my spirit just said, this is not right and I just thank God I survived what I been through. Because me being half in the world, I wanted those letters so bad, but when I cross over it just didn't feel right at all.
@@Coolmike19 condemnation and desertion are the last two words in a true fraternity man’s vocabulary. If you’re a Christian I’ll desert you if you don’t line up with my beliefs. Oh yeah the devil makes it easy. God never promised it would be so.
I thought about Sororities and Fraternities while attending undergraduate school, but wasn't impressed with it, especially the whole humiliation rituals. It seemed counter productive. I did like the Ques, until I learned about their mindsets. Good for you, following God and your values. Also, why Africans join Greek organizations is also questionable.
Intense passion. I am totally confused about this modern day trend. I say modern day even though it started in the early 1900s. I have worked with many Greeks that actually came to Ellis Island from Greece. I met their children and grandchildren. They all told me these fraternities and sororities have nothing to do with their culture. They do not recognize them. I just shake my head. How can they hijack things from another culture that does not recognize them?
@@quietstorm1050 This is all Satanic worship. Just well organized. None of this ever had anything to do with the Lord but other gods. Jesus said HE WAS ALPHA AND OMEGA. So this would be an imitation, right?
All these videos tell me is that the world is full of people who join organizations for the wrong reasons. They just jump into things when they don’t even understand who they are.
You can’t lump everyone into that group. I knew who I was. I had a whole career in psychiatry. Many, just like me, ignored the red flags. The most important thing is that people turn back to the Most High. The rest of that stuff doesn’t even matter because we should ALL be ever evolving. Plus, none of the finger pointers can judge.
@@just_shaeee There's no judgment here, and if this person sees fit to confess on UA-cam, then anyone viewing it is free to make observations as s/he sees it. Even then, I'm not saying anyone is wrong or right; that's a personal decision, and I respect it. But too many people are posting videos that blame others for their bad choices or unfavorable outcomes. And God is not mocked.
What are you talking about? For myself and what I’m picking up from others is we didn’t understand scriptures and what TMH truly requires of his servants. That’s the focal point. He and others expressed how they enjoyed their time and their brothers and sisters. They sharing their stories to help others understand before jumping down that rabbit hole so relax.
Wow this was deep sharing ypur insights and experiences going through the whole fraternity process. What's to stop you from dispelling the secrets of the fraternity?

@@myleescantfeelfacts ain't no way around it. Talked a good friend of mine out of doing it. I was like bruh...we were already dumb enough to swear and become Marines for a colonial nation that pushes colonialism with war.
Hummm! I never understood why black people joined GREEK fraternities anyway. The greeks said they went to school in africa. The greeks said they got all their knowledge from african.
because we don't join greek fraternities, we join black fraternities that have greek symbol letters. Do you say you joined an English Church because you use the english alphabet to spell out Baptist?
@@kam3410 - I suggest you do your research! What is called a black church in america is a shame! They are nothing more than franchises and controlled by the WHITE denomination headquarters who licensed them the franchise! Because white people control them they all preach/teach what the white people want them to preach despite what the bible actually says. Thats why you will see a picture of a white Jesus in a so called black church even though the Bible makes it clear he was a black man! Now lets talk about black greek organizations. It aint no accident that these so called black greek organizations are call themselves greek organizations. Their TRUE purpose is the same as the white greek organizations which is to worship the false white greek gods! Enough said!
@@purpleiris6489 I don't care what organization it is the letters are just like you using standard English to spell your name. Because they are just letters and do not mean we think we are Greek. I am 100% sure your name is spelled in English so I guess you are trying to be English.
@@kam3410 -First! My name is FRENCH! Secondly! this video is proof your wrong ,its not an organization that happens to have a greek name. There is reason behind the fact that the name is greek.
@@purpleiris6489 you literally havent said anything in this statement that is based in any logic. How you spell something is not the determining factor of what it is, you actually look at what the organization says it is and how it conducts itself and that is how you determine what it is. Nowhere in the constitution or any by laws does Alpha Phi Alpha say we are a greek organization or we are trying to be greek. What re you like 10 years old with that logic?
This is all Satanic worship. Just well organized. None of this ever had anything to do with the Lord but other gods. Jesus said HE WAS ALPHA AND OMEGA. So this would be an imitation, right?
What! They are of evil if they’re worshipping or serving the devil in making vows and oaths with the devil. Come on! Call it like it is and stop trying to justify and sugar-coat things. Has your wife renounced or denounced? If not, then I can see why you aren’t trying to fully call things as they are. SMH….
I am 20 minutes into the video and will comment again periodically. I do respect his decision! However, there are a lot of questions that go along with his decision to renounce a fraternity. Such as, does he renounce the commercialization of Christmas, especially with a Christmas tree? What about the commercialization of Easter, especially with a bunny rabbit? Mr. Storay, I appreciate your honesty; however, your details of secrecy and the appearance of something devious seem to be disingenuous. Now that you have renounced your membership, please reveal what was done in secrecy that appears so heinous and against Christian belief. I am curious to know about your experience. I have never had to renounce my Christian belief as a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. From a peripheral perspective, does one also renounce the teaching of Western Civilization in their school curriculum? Does this mean that those who renounce their membership also will renounce divorce, except as it is defined in the Bible? I am Pro-Choice; however, I despise abortion as a means of birth control. Again, I am not against your decision but am curious about how those who renounce their affiliation with a fraternity or sorority feel about other contradictories of life.
"I'm prochoice yet despise abortion" how quaint the irony is with this one. Why are we talking about the commercialization of Christmas as if that's going to change his testimony or challenging biblical teaching being taught in our school system? How can you even make that correlation and think that's a great counterargument to this video? Simply put, you despise this man for having more guts than the mindless sheep who are told nothing but "positive" things about these fraternities but all those who claim them and denounced them have all said the same things -- they went into it because they didn't feel they had purpose and even being in it, still felts purposeless and their spirit was empty. Manmade organizations can't bring you peace; only God can.
Freedom? Hazing someone else is freedom? Being envious and jealous of someone is having "freedom"? Being told to recite oaths that you don't know where they came from nor their true Intentions is somehow freedom? You're lost, sir.
All Christian denominations are factions of Satan! All 501c3, incorporated, publication 1828, creatures of the state, man made churches are controlled by Satan. Yes, there's true believers and saved folks there, but those churches are worldly. Sunday church, black Hebrew Israelite camps, SDA, catholic, etc and so forth are all man made. The word of God is true though
Young man I am glad you walked away. As someone that has worked extensively with people in the real Greek community. Some that came over during world War 2? These people, their children and grandchildren know nothing about these Greek fraternities nor sororities. Even if some join because they were born on Americansoil. They told me they think it's weird for the most part. I've been to their Orthodox church, these have nothing to do with their way of life. Maybe looking out for another Greek is the only thing they have on common.
@@lisacox3750 I understand it's cultural appropriation by a group of people that love to cry the same whenever other people borrow things from their culture because they appreciate thus. I understand quite well. I also understand the hypocrisy... Anything else?
That's a good question, Nick. Sometimes, I miss bonding with the men in the fraternity at different events and conferences, but overall, I don't miss it. I'm at peace with my decision and I know it was the right thing to do for me.
I'm 22 years old. As soon as I start reading the Bible I can't go 4 pages strong without yawning and getting sleepy. I believe in God but something about that book makes me very tired. Maybe I have poor reading skills idk.
you can listen online to feed and strengthen your spirit as well as worship. That helped me, until i was equipped to identify and call out the unclean spirits plaguing me.
@@jorrdiiii It's Your God discernment! The Bible holds truth but IS NOT the end all be all. Don't be fooled by hypocrites who REFUSE to open Their mind but most importantly THEIR HEARTS! 💜The confusion lies where the BIBLE PUSHERS totally negate the Egyptians who were Goddesses of LOVE & WAR but say anyone who believes in Them are SATAN but I digress!
Build your relationship with Christ more with prayer, fasting, & worship. Also make study habits, join Bible study groups. Pray & ask God for guidance & direction when reading His Word. Pray before then pray after & ask God to help you apply what you read or use it as He wants you to use it. Sometimes everyone starts that way when they just start out but the more you read, the more you grow on it.
Everyone who’s denounced uses the same cult like language. Listen if you pledged and thought that a Greek letter organization was intended to replace God then you never knew God. Also what you’re doing alienates you from the same folks you’re trying to lead to the kingdom or better yet you’re turning your back on folks that may help you see the Lord in a less cult like vision. Somebody convinced you that God will destroy you if you’re in a “secret society” yet you say in another breath that if you accept Christ as your savior you will be redeemed. Which one is it?
@@michaelstorayii7197 I have so many family members and friends that are BGLO and Free Masons and I want to share this with them. I always knew that something was not in order with them. I too was loving to see them stepping and what not but I knew something wasn't right behind the scenes. We all have our testimony. I come from drug addiction and the homosexual lifestyle. Glory to God for deliverance. My cousin who is still in the homosexual lifestyle asked me to join her BGLO lesbian frat. That's a mouthful huh. I blamed it on having poor recall but deep down I knew God was pulling on my spirit saying....I'm not going to let you get that deep into this even though I had been attracted to women from very very young age. Anyway, is it that your wife is afraid of the pushback or that she just doesn't feel anything is out of order? ❤️
Only a person with the spirit of the antiChrist could open their mouth to blaspheme and suggest that glorifying God is cultish. Then again, fools will say anything because ya'll refuse to ground yourself in truth or logic.
Or you need to study Satan and who he is. He is the author of confusion and mimics everything God does. The bible is very clear on this -- keep doing your research
Pledging was never my thing. I can’t imagine turning my back on an organization I did a lot to stay there. I don’t know if it’s right or wrong I never been in one. What i do know is that people use the Bible to justify things that they shouldn’t have done in the first place. It’s like being in a gang that’s for life.
Frats and sororities are not gangs but I get your point. Most of these folks are being shamed into turning on their organization so they can give to a cult disguised as a church/Christianity.

I wonder why most of these renouncements seem like a lot of these people got into fraternities/sororities did it for the "fun stuff" and walked away because they didn't want to be financial anymore but didn't want to say that. Most of them say "I was financially active until I graduated", never mention anything about community service, or what the primary goal of community service means in being in an organization. Just tell the truth, you didn't get into it for the people; you did it for the clout.
Why he did it doesn’t matter. What matters is the organization itself directly contradicts his religious belief, even those many of the organizations claim to be Christian founded. So he left. That simple.
People do it for different reasons: family, prestige, clout, respect, acceptance, a feeling of community and access to, yes, parties. But these groups prey on young people who do not have a very high sense of self and identity and while they are exploring make them pretty much beg for it and they accept all kinds of demeaning treatment trying to get in. Community, respect and belonging are things that we have when we belong to Christ, but when we are not walking closely with Him we don't realize what we already have.
I'm confused. Plenty of Christian were fraternity members without having to renounce their membership. I think individually people lost sight of what the organization is really about. That happens with any group.
Yes and they were all set up to remove you away from the true one and only God. Why are you worshiping Greek gods when you have the real one. Religion was set up by Satan. You’re to study to show yourself approved. Do you actually think you’re oppressors are going to lead you in the right direction? No they never will
Deuteronomy 21: 18 “If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

As a member of a D9 Fraternity, I can say that my Frat were founded heavily on Christian principles. Without a doubt bar none! I can't give too much information but understanding of Greek and Egyptian Mythology and that it's allegorical will surely help many have clarity on different components of their org!

Exodus 21 “Now these are the rules that you shall set before them. 2 When you buy a Hebrew slave,[a] he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. 3 If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. 4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out alone. 5 But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’ 6 then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall be his slave forever. 7 “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. 8 If she does not please her master, who has designated her[b] for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has broken faith with her. 9 If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter. 10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or her marital rights. 11 And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money.
I know your Mind-Set. Unfortunately you can't understand what you just stated until you HUMBLY Submit to JESUS. Before The Fall of man it was not so. After The Correction of The Fall It is no longer so. Man's sell-out to Satan in The Garden (Genesis 3) complicates life for man. The Coming of JESUS Christ solves The Problem. Be Born Again: Holy Bible John 1-3, 2Corinthians 6:14-18, Acts 2:1-42, John 15:1-7. Finally, meditate on Ecclesiastes 7:29, 12:11-14.
This is some bs. Most brothers are not active because the fraternity requires a lot of the members but don't really do shit for them. We don't have a credit card, a bank, a credit union, no national list of professionals to give the black community. Nothing. The fraternity doesn't build you up...but it will take credit for you if you have some success. Look at the Governor of Maryland. People leave the fraternity because all it does is take. There is no major conflict with Alpha and Christianity. In fact, Alpha is the only Black Greek organization that recognize Jesus. We have 3 prongs. The Greeks. The Egyptians, and Jesus.
@@AJHGR1ND31-YT Alpha is no the temple of Christ. Your body is the temple of Christ. The organization does not worship Jesus as the son of God, but does recognize the teachings of Christ.

@@JohnDoe-yi4xd YES I AGREE YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF GOD, BUT IF YOUR ORGANIZATION DENIES JESUS AS THE SON OF GOD THEN IT IS NOT OF CHRIST. THEN YOU ACKNOWLEDGE OTHER DEITYS TO YOUR TEMPLE ( BODY) then it is not of God. YOU CANNOT SERVE 2 MASTERS.
True our body is the Temple...Yes Jesus dwells in the US !! However, He will NOT share His Glory with any other who claims to have some kind of deity...
All this misunderstanding of symbolism, spirituality, and religious faith are very strange. When you pray, where or how do you pray? (In secret) The instructions of God are to know wisdom, knowledge, and DISCRETION. Pledging to be a member of an organization is exactly that, pledging. If you loved your org more than God then just say that. As for me, I love my AKA 💚 God was with me before letters and he’s with me now. You are the master of your fate, God gave us all free will. There’s always a choice to make. You made yours and I hear ya, but you’re REACHING!
GOD of Heaven is the master of all. Man is allowed to operate within the permissive will of God. Pledging, promises, oaths,agreements, etc what are you agreeing to? Why? God provided his word as your example to follow and to guide you. What does your Bible say about covenant agreements?
He was mega reaching. "YOu cross the burning sands and have a bond with your brothers that last forever. Well the only thing that is forever is eternal life." like what!!! broo! mega reach.
Bro I'm an Alpha. And I love the Frat and God. If you dont want to be a member no more just move on. This message is for you not us. God is dealing with you for whatever reason. My heart belongs to God and when i see frat i acknowledge them because there are wonderful things that the frat do and i always enjoy the brotherhood of many of my dear brothers in Christ and out of Christ. But these videos across some channels to me are stupid because there is so much sin in this world that will get you and you make it about the frat. SMH....Be blessed young brother keep your heart pure for the lord. Whatever it takes.
@@thulani2640 okay bruh! Sin is sin. And thank God Christ forgave it so that we can be free in him in or out of a fraternity. I know too many hood brothers doing great things for posts like this. So enjoy your renouncing I'm enjoying the Frat and still loving God. Zero conviction! That was for you and your life. SMH all these UA-cam "preachers" for getting their own issues.
@@thulani2640 Dude get lost! God forgave sin when you were in sin. While you were yet sinners scripturr reads. Actually God is In a frat hrs Alpha and Omega. Keep posting videos to try to cover your own inadequies because you weren't accepted in your time in some way. These videos only point out some flaws in certain frat and as usual fail to show positive things these sisters and brothers are doing. Stop Bible thumping and wrinhky dividing the word actually making yourself look foolish and reading amen comments by some who are of zeal but not free. Like I said all these suppose to be UA-cam preachers smh. I know God and I know spirits like you. Your Religious and dint know the true God at all. Thanks I'll pass...
@@VivaciousVirgO Live your life and let others live theirs. I lnow my salvation. You actually sound like a fool! He said have no others God's before me. Indicatunv that he is the most high and second to none. And that is the case. People have other things important to them as long as they don't become their God. And these black fraternity videos are stupid.vDint see white ones and it's only less than 1 percent if a percent of black Greeks in the church. These videos sound like haters to me hiding behind God! Period!
@@VivaciousVirgO He gets what he gets for him. Who's serving two masters? That doesn't make no sense at all. It's only one God. He said to have no other Gods before me. Your problem and his problem it seems to me yall had other Gods before him. All these new UA-cam preachers pick and choose what their sin is that they want to denounce while still struggling with others' sin that they have. while trying to tell other people what's is their idolatry. You can't make this stuff up!
In a fraternity myself i consider myself a religious person-- i dont have to denounce my frat to feel or be more religious .not living a lie but if u just need or want more subscribers then i feel the money game but the rest of what u are talking about is complete bullshhtt bro. Fact

@@blackthought6133 Nah. I do what you do all the time. Don’t try to back track. I said the Bible stated not to take oaths and that’s what you doing. All that volunteering is not the point. Lol
You aren't fooling God doing that. You are still a member of the fraternity even though you are not active until you renounce it/repent. You have through the process placed them at the forefront of your life instead of Father Yahweh until renounced.
@@mahoganyblack8218 Get lost you religious nut. You don't have a heaven nor hell to put nobody in. You need to worry about your own fleshy sins and you have many. Yes I'm still Alpha not renouncing Jack and yes still live God and live for him. So you can miss me with all these stupid UA-cam videos about fraternity just because you couldn't get into one. But I'm good here. So go on with your life and try and find Christ because obviously like many religious people you haven't met him!!
This is what the devil says when he’s trying to deceive and keep that stronghold. Tricks and lies of the enemy. Renounce AND denounce otherwise you’re still in covenant.
Just say you couldn't handle being one just say it wasn't in your heart to be one I'm not one but I do realize your reason not making sense at for example like dat part where I said about da poem I am da master of my faith the captain of my soul everyone one earth is the master of their faith and the captain of their soul, and I'm a christen tell you this God give I free will to worship him so it's up to you if you worship him or not wat his a captain think so if God was da captain of your soul so eat is free will then captain gives orders so it's up to you where your soul go like I said before I'm not saying it's wrong to be in an alpha but like I said the things y'all use to make your claim don't make sense you gone have to tell da hole or you just want help with this water down message
God said put no other gods before him. These organization quite literally makes you sign away your servitude to the organization, saying that it must be above all things. So, as someone who isn’t affiliated with Greek life maybe you shouldn’t tell others how to feel.
I renounced AKA in 2015 and can witness to the freedom one will get. I was chaplain in the chapter too. But thankful to Yah for deliverance and freedom!🙏🏾🔥

Thanks so much for sharing your spiritual journey of Freedom from the Fraternal order. My nephew is a member of this same Fraternity and I will be sharing your video with him and my niece who wants to pledge a sorority soon. I've listened to other videos but your scripture references combined with your real life experiences with the oaths, pledges and symbolism made your video intriguing and easy to follow. Thanks again and may the Most High Yah bless you and your family!
God bless you my young brother for coming out. All the denouncing video's will bring many more people out. Keep up the good work 🙏
Many are called, but few are chosen. Thanks for sharing my dude 🙏🏾
I denounced/ renounced my org spiritually & on paper not even one week ago. 🙌🏽 The angels are rejoicing!
❤Awesome you made the right choice GOD & your higher self will lead you the rest of the way .I love seeing y’all wake up from that i know it was hard but It’s worth your life to live on this realm /earth 😊❤❤❤❤
Praise the LORD for your courage and wisdom. Most of the people in the comments section are sadly ignorant. I denounced A Phi A long before anyone came on youtube doing it. It seems that Jesus is waking up the true Body of Christ.
That fraternity shit is definitely a cult, im glad you found peace.
I dare you to look up the word "cult" and see if your response is relevant and if you practice Christianity youll definitely see where "cult" fits right in. Go ahead and be brave and look lol . you know what since you will be too proud to do it , ill do it for you lol. CULT - "a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object. let that sink in.
Keep going brother! Peace and love. 🙏🏽
Thank you for being humble, surrending to the Spirit of God and being transparent with your story. I attended the Alpha Chapter HBCU. As an undergraduate student, I was surrounded by those who have taken an oath of some kind to a secret society/organization. I was never interested. I noticed the “privileges and favoritism”. As if you only mattered if you “pledged an Allegiance”. Knowing who I am and being clear of God’s purpose helped me avoid the witchcraft and ritualistic practices. Some of my classmates who took The Oath are clergy and Leaders in the community now. I never understood the need to assume another culture’s identity or hide behind idols. The “elitest” mindset is idolatry. This creates more division and exclusivity in the community. Doing Good doesn’t erase the loyalty to idols and false gods. I could say much more about the behaviors and the symbolism…but I won’t. Homecomings are saturated with the sorority and fraternity activities. The world desperately needs healing and it’s about an individual’s relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Here’s the scripture on branding:
“In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces, the headdresses and anklets and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms, the fine robes and the capes and cloaks, the purses and mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras and shawls. Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-dressed hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, branding.”
Isaiah 3:18, 20, 22-24 NIV

Thank you , have just posted this on my what's app status.
You just said something. I strongly believe 99.9% of the black celebrities are into this organisations. They are also responsible for the device in the BLK community since they take orders from someone else. All this blk men ain't shit or BLK women ain't shit was started by underground agents from those organisations. They make u to hate ur own or anyone that is not in the brotherhood or sisterhood .
Good Scripture was written 3000 years ago. I think fraternities and Sororities came about a century ago. The stuff people make up and misuse scripture over is unbelievable. Police take oaths, doctors take oaths, Boyotts take oaths. This scripture has absolutely nothing to do with black fraternities and sororities. Notice nothing about white fraternities etc. People please know God for yourself and don't let anyone bring you into bondage again. If you a greek you unto God. If you are not a Greek you unto God. As long as you have by faith given your heart to Christ for what he did for you, not what you do for him. None of us are worthy. It's actually Blanatant ignorance to think we can do anything to earn salvation. No man can! It's the Gift of God to any who believes. Period! A Phyyyy. Loving Jesus! 06!
@@TheProphet-gc1pt The scripture on branding or damaging ones body as an act of loyalty to demonic convenants. Only the enemy rebukes God’s word by attempting to discredit the validity and plant a weed among the fertile soil of the God’s Holy Word!
The ONE true living God, Creator of the Universe, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the same yesterday, today and forever. God does nothing in Secret. Police , Presidents , etc oaths”, are done in public do not include kneeling, hazing, idolization, blasphemy the scriptures, witchcraft, etc.. of any kind. God is no respect of persons. This applies to all secret societies of all kinds. You do not have to sell your soul and enter into demonic covenants to be successful, or do community service. Believers of Jesus Christ do all they in the NAME of Jesus. Anything else is from the evil one who wants the Pride and Glory for himself. It is deception to worship other gods, especially Greek, Roman and Egyptian gods. The WORD of God is very clear. The prophesy of God turning away from those with a reprobate mind is happening before our very eyes. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places. The Earth and everything in it will pass away, but the WORD of the One True and Living God will remain. There is a difference between reading the scripture and being led by the Spirit of God to STUDY and RECEIVE revelation knowledge. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. You have free will. I pray you go with God. At the very least go in Peace. Blessings to you. ✨🙏🏽✨
Thank you for your testimony.. I shared your story with my brother who is ignorant to what he is supporting. I used this for educational purposes… Thanks again and good luck in life brother…. Freedom
Ask him this
When you're at the greek letter altars, Mason/eastern star altars, etc what god are you performing those rituals and ceremonies for? Yeshua Hamashiach (JESUS) is the true light, and we are to put the light on the lamp stand for the world to see. The sororities, fraternities, secret societies all say they have a light, but it's under the lamp stand with a veil. When you cross over what do you think you're crossing over to? When you get your new name who are you? When you take the oath who is it to? Think of the words you use while at ceremonies... being spiritually weak and spiritually d3ad are real, and it leads to falling into darkness. Repent and turn

He's letting you know, that those associations aren't for you, and you took that heed. Trust me I've been there, and when God is speaking to you, that's all you hear. Keep putting on your armor, and keep that contact line open, and let no one steer you wrong. Your doing what God wants, and that's all that counts.🙏🙏🙏

You stated sounds a lot like the masons. Anything outside of following the Way is not God related. You can argue all you want to, but those organizations only birth groups like the CBC, and they only do so much,just to say, "see look we are doing" and that's for a minute, and then they go back to doing what they do, and that's doing for themselves just to look good. If you have to tell me about all the good they are doing, then it's not done between them and God, and the Word says those things should be done between that individual and God. So they are not in line with the Word, and so they are out of line with God. So tell yourself what you want to and I'm not keep going back and forth with you. Bye.
Love the way you allowed the Holy Spirit to chip away at you…while providing you with the Word-He always testifies of Jesus (the Word). And, He gave you courage as He gave to Joshua - Josh 1:6-9, being strong and of good courage. Be blessed young brother and keep fighting the good fight of faith!
Great video, well details and straight to the point.
Thank you Brother for sharing.
Brother you made the right choice
I've wondered about the oath scripture when it comes to the military and testifying in court.
Matthew 5:37 says no. Not even to the American flag
I just figured this out 😢
Great vid Michael! It’s interesting because young people, 18-21 are making decisions in undergrad while still trying to understand themselves.
I’m thinking about doing a similar vid about being a Christian and still affiliated. I view it the same way as organizations that employ us, unless their 100% Bible based. The whole concept of coming to work at 8am, having a boss, submitting to the rules and vision of the job - is in a way ‘ritualistic’.
Kudos to you for having the courage to share! 💪🏾🙌🏾
Hi Daniel, thanks for watching and the feedback. If you make the video, let me know and I'll check it out.

All praises be to God the Creator for you answering the call to repent and return unto him which required you to renounce and/or denounce your vows/oaths made with the devil which was is notated in the Initiation Rituals that it was unto Final Judgement.
I truly believe and feel comfortable to say that God the Creator is merciful to forgive you all if you wholeheartedly repent and renounce the vows/oaths. As long as we all have breath, we have an opportunity to repent and return unto
God the Creator and he will receive us!
Again, I’m so thankful you adhered to God’s call! One (you) more up and many more to go (others)!

This is so great to hear that you denounce your fraternity and I know the devil is a lie, and I too denounce my fraternity kappa from the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff of spring of 1990. As I cross over I felt this demonic spirit come over me and I knew something was wrong and I just left and didn't look back at all i know God has a plan for you, I would like to to say welcome brother to family of Jesus Christ May the Most High God richly bless you 🙏
Honest question for you … Before you made that decision to pledge how was your walk with Christ?
Well my walk was a little half and half, but the right half finally kick in and my spirit just said, this is not right and I just thank God I survived what I been through. Because me being half in the world, I wanted those letters so bad, but when I cross over it just didn't feel right at all.
@@Coolmike19 condemnation and desertion are the last two words in a true fraternity man’s vocabulary. If you’re a Christian I’ll desert you if you don’t line up with my beliefs. Oh yeah the devil makes it easy. God never promised it would be so.

I thought about Sororities and Fraternities while attending undergraduate school, but wasn't impressed with it, especially the whole humiliation rituals. It seemed counter productive. I did like the Ques, until I learned about their mindsets. Good for you, following God and your values. Also, why Africans join Greek organizations is also questionable.
Deep..
I'm glad you made the best decision for you using your discernment and wisdom. Thank you!
Intense passion. I am totally confused about this modern day trend. I say modern day even though it started in the early 1900s. I have worked with many Greeks that actually came to Ellis Island from Greece. I met their children and grandchildren. They all told me these fraternities and sororities have nothing to do with their culture. They do not recognize them. I just shake my head. How can they hijack things from another culture that does not recognize them?
Christ stopped me right before I tried
@@quietstorm1050 This is all Satanic worship. Just well organized. None of this ever had anything to do with the Lord but other gods. Jesus said HE WAS ALPHA AND OMEGA. So this would be an imitation, right?
All these videos tell me is that the world is full of people who join organizations for the wrong reasons. They just jump into things when they don’t even understand who they are.
Yup. Greek life ain't for EVERYBODY.
You can’t lump everyone into that group. I knew who I was. I had a whole career in psychiatry. Many, just like me, ignored the red flags. The most important thing is that people turn back to the Most High. The rest of that stuff doesn’t even matter because we should ALL be ever evolving. Plus, none of the finger pointers can judge.
@@just_shaeee There's no judgment here, and if this person sees fit to confess on UA-cam, then anyone viewing it is free to make observations as s/he sees it.
Even then, I'm not saying anyone is wrong or right; that's a personal decision, and I respect it. But too many people are posting videos that blame others for their bad choices or unfavorable outcomes. And God is not mocked.
Exactly so foolish and dumb!! Anybody with half a brain can see that Greek orgs have certain beliefs and ways about them.
What are you talking about? For myself and what I’m picking up from others is we didn’t understand scriptures and what TMH truly requires of his servants. That’s the focal point. He and others expressed how they enjoyed their time and their brothers and sisters. They sharing their stories to help others understand before jumping down that rabbit hole so relax.
Great Research on the ongoing divine nine (worshiping more than one god) ... young brother.

@@kam3410 - I suggest you do your research! What is called a black church in america is a shame! They are nothing more than franchises and controlled by the WHITE denomination headquarters who licensed them the franchise! Because white people control them they all preach/teach what the white people want them to preach despite what the bible actually says. Thats why you will see a picture of a white Jesus in a so called black church even though the Bible makes it clear he was a black man! Now lets talk about black greek organizations. It aint no accident that these so called black greek organizations are call themselves greek organizations. Their TRUE purpose is the same as the white greek organizations which is to worship the false white greek gods!

I am 20 minutes into the video and will comment again periodically. I do respect his decision! However, there are a lot of questions that go along with his decision to renounce a fraternity. Such as, does he renounce the commercialization of Christmas, especially with a Christmas tree? What about the commercialization of Easter, especially with a bunny rabbit?
Mr. Storay, I appreciate your honesty; however, your details of secrecy and the appearance of something devious seem to be disingenuous. Now that you have renounced your membership, please reveal what was done in secrecy that appears so heinous and against Christian belief. I am curious to know about your experience. I have never had to renounce my Christian belief as a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. From a peripheral perspective, does one also renounce the teaching of Western Civilization in their school curriculum? Does this mean that those who renounce their membership also will renounce divorce, except as it is defined in the Bible? I am Pro-Choice; however, I despise abortion as a means of birth control. Again, I am not against your decision but am curious about how those who renounce their affiliation with a fraternity or sorority feel about other contradictories of life.
It’s funny to me. He left one organization of freedom and joined one in bondage 👀😂😂
Well said brother
"I'm prochoice yet despise abortion" how quaint the irony is with this one. Why are we talking about the commercialization of Christmas as if that's going to change his testimony or challenging biblical teaching being taught in our school system? How can you even make that correlation and think that's a great counterargument to this video?
Simply put, you despise this man for having more guts than the mindless sheep who are told nothing but "positive" things about these fraternities but all those who claim them and denounced them have all said the same things -- they went into it because they didn't feel they had purpose and even being in it, still felts purposeless and their spirit was empty. Manmade organizations can't bring you peace; only God can.
Freedom? Hazing someone else is freedom? Being envious and jealous of someone is having "freedom"? Being told to recite oaths that you don't know where they came from nor their true Intentions is somehow freedom? You're lost, sir.
All Christian denominations are factions of Satan! All 501c3, incorporated, publication 1828, creatures of the state, man made churches are controlled by Satan. Yes, there's true believers and saved folks there, but those churches are worldly. Sunday church, black Hebrew Israelite camps, SDA, catholic, etc and so forth are all man made.
The word of God is true though
Young man I am glad you walked away. As someone that has worked extensively with people in the real Greek community. Some that came over during world War 2? These people, their children and grandchildren know nothing about these Greek fraternities nor sororities. Even if some join because they were born on Americansoil. They told me they think it's weird for the most part. I've been to their Orthodox church, these have nothing to do with their way of life. Maybe looking out for another Greek is the only thing they have on common.
This has nothing to do with Greek people. Not sure you understand the difference.

Don't be fooled by hypocrites who REFUSE to open Their mind but most importantly THEIR HEARTS! 💜The confusion lies where the BIBLE PUSHERS totally negate the Egyptians who were Goddesses of LOVE & WAR but say anyone who believes in Them are SATAN but I digress!
Build your relationship with Christ more with prayer, fasting, & worship. Also make study habits, join Bible study groups. Pray & ask God for guidance & direction when reading His Word. Pray before then pray after & ask God to help you apply what you read or use it as He wants you to use it.
Sometimes everyone starts that way when they just start out but the more you read, the more you grow on it.
Bro from farm whst high school u go to?
Aman
Everyone who’s denounced uses the same cult like language. Listen if you pledged and thought that a Greek letter organization was intended to replace God then you never knew God. Also what you’re doing alienates you from the same folks you’re trying to lead to the kingdom or better yet you’re turning your back on folks that may help you see the Lord in a less cult like vision. Somebody convinced you that God will destroy you if you’re in a “secret society” yet you say in another breath that if you accept Christ as your savior you will be redeemed. Which one is it?
Glory to God. I would like to know if your wife renounced also.
Thank you. No she has not…yet
@@michaelstorayii7197 I have so many family members and friends that are BGLO and Free Masons and I want to share this with them. I always knew that something was not in order with them. I too was loving to see them stepping and what not but I knew something wasn't right behind the scenes. We all have our testimony. I come from drug addiction and the homosexual lifestyle. Glory to God for deliverance. My cousin who is still in the homosexual lifestyle asked me to join her BGLO lesbian frat. That's a mouthful huh. I blamed it on having poor recall but deep down I knew God was pulling on my spirit saying....I'm not going to let you get that deep into this even though I had been attracted to women from very very young age. Anyway, is it that your wife is afraid of the pushback or that she just doesn't feel anything is out of order? ❤️
You really should do an in-depth study on Christianity and Religion, speaking of CULTS...🤔
Only a person with the spirit of the antiChrist could open their mouth to blaspheme and suggest that glorifying God is cultish. Then again, fools will say anything because ya'll refuse to ground yourself in truth or logic.
Or you need to study Satan and who he is. He is the author of confusion and mimics everything God does. The bible is very clear on this -- keep doing your research
Pledging was never my thing. I can’t imagine turning my back on an organization I did a lot to stay there. I don’t know if it’s right or wrong I never been in one. What i do know is that people use the Bible to justify things that they shouldn’t have done in the first place. It’s like being in a gang that’s for life.
Frats and sororities are not gangs but I get your point. Most of these folks are being shamed into turning on their organization so they can give to a cult disguised as a church/Christianity.
Rite bro and then he don't make sense he just weak or it just wasn't for him so he want to down dem
@@anthony3-dq9vq if he was weak most likely he would not have made it through the pledging process.
Clara that’s what the Bible is for… to repent of your sins and change your life. A fraternity and sorority are not for life if they denounce it.
40:10 ok you gotta be trolling now. That was a mega stretch.
Why do you have on earrings? And thanks for the video

I wonder why most of these renouncements seem like a lot of these people got into fraternities/sororities did it for the "fun stuff" and walked away because they didn't want to be financial anymore but didn't want to say that. Most of them say "I was financially active until I graduated", never mention anything about community service, or what the primary goal of community service means in being in an organization. Just tell the truth, you didn't get into it for the people; you did it for the clout.
Why he did it doesn’t matter. What matters is the organization itself directly contradicts his religious belief, even those many of the organizations claim to be Christian founded. So he left. That simple.
People do it for different reasons: family, prestige, clout, respect, acceptance, a feeling of community and access to, yes, parties. But these groups prey on young people who do not have a very high sense of self and identity and while they are exploring make them pretty much beg for it and they accept all kinds of demeaning treatment trying to get in. Community, respect and belonging are things that we have when we belong to Christ, but when we are not walking closely with Him we don't realize what we already have.
I'm confused. Plenty of Christian were fraternity members without having to renounce their membership. I think individually people lost sight of what the organization is really about. That happens with any group.
Can't serve two masters
Yes and they were all set up to remove you away from the true one and only God. Why are you worshiping Greek gods when you have the real one. Religion was set up by Satan. You’re to study to show yourself approved. Do you actually think you’re oppressors are going to lead you in the right direction? No they never will
Deuteronomy 21: 18 “If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
Wow and these young people want to be coddled given hot chocolate and a safe room because those adults train them to be passive so they'll be compliant for their sick indoctrination agenda.
This young brother is amongst the "Chosen".

@@michaelstorayii7197 she need to denounce
@@jamesthomas2679 so happy for her. she gets some heritage of where she is from. its so funny how the saints of the christian world look down on anything thats not up to what they understand but if you challenge them to do the research on the foundation of Christianity its a ghost town. The baby and mut of all previously existing spiritual systems but look down on them as if they are not interwoven within the Organization . Catholic Priest, Constantine , and the lies of "Paul" really has done them in. sad day. We are the only culture that praise a diety that looks nothing like us due to a lack of understanding. We hated everything about slavery except Christianity . we will keep that. lol sad.
@@brandonlewis357 what you saying are you Greek
I don't think it was necessary for you to leave. However, if this was your conviction, then it's best that you severed ties.
What is unnecessary about it?
Humanity has been formed to worship Wether Christian Atheist Buddhist Muslim we all are worshiping something even if we don’t know it. Greek orgs are called Greek for a reason it has roots influence from Greek Mystery Cults from Greek Roman Times also Masonry influenced by the same things. Many times Greek Organizations are pathways that pique interest and guide folks right into masonry. Catholic Church has written lengthy papers on Masonry and denounced it being something Christian’s should associate with long ago.
Are you speaking about the Catholic Church most protestant churches find not christain?
these religion people who talk about service Greek organizations are proselytizing,
Please explain ❤
17:23 Honestly, you could use the bible to justify leaving anything.
Deuteronomy 22:11 “You shall not wear a garment of different sorts, such as wool and linen mixed together." Gotta quit this sewing club because it isnt bringing me closer to God.
They only want to use logic when it's convenient. They don't have a problem when the bible says slavery is okay and stoning your kids or wearing mixed fabrics, same logic as evangelical christian nationalist.
@@kam3410 The Bible doesn't say "slavery is okay", the slaves it speaks of are criminals etc. It wasn't talking about slavery itself. Stoning your kids wasn't by the MOST HIGH God.
I'm just here for the comments. LOL.
What's funny? Worshiping God?
@@MSALL-co8bf pretty much, that is hilarious. Believing in a religion by people who didn't even know where the sun went at night in 2022. That is funny as hell.

As a member of a D9 Fraternity, I can say that my Frat were founded heavily on Christian principles. Without a doubt bar none! I can't give too much information but understanding of Greek and Egyptian Mythology and that it's allegorical will surely help many have clarity on different components of their org!
Pastor Fred Price Jr did a great sermon on idolatry. All surround the d9. I encourage you to view it. They were founded on “christian” principles. Little “c” nothing to do with Yahshua.
@@mswarren112 AND you should view the foundation of Christianity .lol see if your pastor will speak on that .
@@brandonlewis357 I’ll check it out Brandon thx. But I don’t have a pastor. I don’t belong to a church.
If you’re referring to Constantine & the Roman Catholic church’s Christianity I’m already aware.
@@mswarren112 ok good. you refereed to a "pastor" which is why I said that. however yes it goes beyond Constantine and roman Catholic Church lies but its good you know that. If you can find Kemet's history twisted , stolen, and manufactured in there you're golden.
Exodus 21 “Now these are the rules that you shall set before them. 2 When you buy a Hebrew slave,[a] he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. 3 If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. 4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out alone. 5 But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’ 6 then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall be his slave forever. 7 “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. 8 If she does not please her master, who has designated her[b] for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has broken faith with her. 9 If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter. 10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or her marital rights. 11 And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money.
I know your Mind-Set. Unfortunately you can't understand what you just stated until you HUMBLY Submit to JESUS. Before The Fall of man it was not so. After The Correction of The Fall It is no longer so. Man's sell-out to Satan in The Garden (Genesis 3) complicates life for man. The Coming of JESUS Christ solves The Problem. Be Born Again: Holy Bible John 1-3, 2Corinthians 6:14-18, Acts 2:1-42, John 15:1-7. Finally, meditate on Ecclesiastes 7:29, 12:11-14.
This is some bs. Most brothers are not active because the fraternity requires a lot of the members but don't really do shit for them. We don't have a credit card, a bank, a credit union, no national list of professionals to give the black community. Nothing. The fraternity doesn't build you up...but it will take credit for you if you have some success. Look at the Governor of Maryland. People leave the fraternity because all it does is take. There is no major conflict with Alpha and Christianity. In fact, Alpha is the only Black Greek organization that recognize Jesus. We have 3 prongs. The Greeks. The Egyptians, and Jesus.
SIR JESUS DOES NOT WANT HIS TEMPLE SHARED. THE FACT THAT YOU NAMED OTHERS IS A DIRECT CONTRADICTION TO THE WORDS OF JESUS.
@@AJHGR1ND31-YT Alpha is no the temple of Christ. Your body is the temple of Christ. The organization does not worship Jesus as the son of God, but does recognize the teachings of Christ. His accomplishments and his greatness as a man in history, just as we recognize the contribution of the Greeks and the Egyptians to the world.
@@JohnDoe-yi4xd YES I AGREE YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF GOD, BUT IF YOUR ORGANIZATION DENIES JESUS AS THE SON OF GOD THEN IT IS NOT OF CHRIST. THEN YOU ACKNOWLEDGE OTHER DEITYS TO YOUR TEMPLE ( BODY) then it is not of God. YOU CANNOT SERVE 2 MASTERS.
lol, you are the one who has a hardened heart! That’s why you can’t see that this is idolatry! I pray you’ve seen the light.
True our body is the Temple...Yes Jesus dwells in the US !! However, He will NOT share His Glory with any other who claims to have some kind of deity...
Bro you denounced, no reason to switch now… you in or you out..
APA till day that I die! 🤙🏾
U sound brainwashed.
All this misunderstanding of symbolism, spirituality, and religious faith are very strange. When you pray, where or how do you pray? (In secret) The instructions of God are to know wisdom, knowledge, and DISCRETION.
Pledging to be a member of an organization is exactly that, pledging. If you loved your org more than God then just say that.
As for me, I love my AKA 💚
God was with me before letters and he’s with me now. You are the master of your fate, God gave us all free will. There’s always a choice to make.
You made yours and I hear ya, but you’re REACHING!
GOD of Heaven is the master of all. Man is allowed to operate within the permissive will of God. Pledging, promises, oaths,agreements, etc what are you agreeing to? Why?
God provided his word as your example to follow and to guide you. What does your Bible say about covenant agreements?

Bro I'm an Alpha. And I love the Frat and God. If you dont want to be a member no more just move on. This message is for you not us. God is dealing with you for whatever reason. My heart belongs to God and when i see frat i acknowledge them because there are wonderful things that the frat do and i always enjoy the brotherhood of many of my dear brothers in Christ and out of Christ.

These videos only point out some flaws in certain frat and as usual fail to show positive things these sisters and brothers are doing. Stop Bible thumping and wrinhky dividing the word actually making yourself look foolish and reading amen comments by some who are of zeal but not free.

You aren't fooling God doing that. You are still a member of the fraternity even though you are not active until you renounce it/repent. You have through the process placed them at the forefront of your life instead of Father Yahweh until renounced.

Just say you couldn't handle being one just say it wasn't in your heart to be one I'm not one but I do realize your reason not making sense at for example like dat part where I said about da poem I am da master of my faith the captain of my soul everyone one earth is the master of their faith and the captain of their soul, and I'm a christen tell you this God give I free will to worship him so it's up to you if you worship him or not wat his a captain think so if God was da captain of your soul so eat is free will then captain gives orders so it's up to you where your soul go like I said before I'm not saying it's wrong to be in an alpha but like I said the things y'all use to make your claim don't make sense you gone have to tell da hole or you just want help with this water down message
God said put no other gods before him. These organization quite literally makes you sign away your servitude to the organization, saying that it must be above all things. So, as someone who isn’t affiliated with Greek life maybe you shouldn’t tell others how to feel.
Mad ass
The devil is always lurking.
