When I pledged in college, I was an immature Christian and was uncomfortable during the ceremony but dismissed it because the members I knew and looked up to were really churchy. Years later when I had grown in Christ, I was convicted by God to look back at what we did and realized that we swore oaths on our knees before an altar to the sorority. The songs and oaths sounded scriptural because they took scripture and replaced God with the sorority. I also discovered that our secret handshake was the same as the mason's. I am an all-in kind of person, and it was an idol to me. I immediately left.
Regarding GREEK fraternities and sororities, many of those organizations try to downplay their requirements. One has to pledge their allegiance to them wholeheartedly. It is gang activity with a suite and tie (period). They are no different than Bloods and Crypts! The hazing alone should deter any Christian from joining sororities and fraternities. When I attended my HBCU, I was approached to become a Delta. I respectfully declined and shared my faith in Christ with the individual. Any literature or declaration that asks one to praise, glorify, worship, or the like something/someone other than Christ should be immediately denounced. Jehovah God said, “Thou shall have no other gods before ME.”💪🏽💯
I denounced AKA after over 25 years of membership. When I took those rituals out & compared w/the Bible, I was hurt by what I did to God. AKA has a false god, Atlas, God said there should be no other gods besides him. What ppl fail to realize is that ppl really worshipped those gods, Hellenism. Zeus and a few other Greek gods are mentioned in the Bible. The rituals also manipulated scripture, it was a whole mess. Ppl say legalism bc they want to stay involved with their false gods.
A couple of things: 1.) I know ladies who will DIE by the stance of, “I dress like that to impress my girls…it’s not about a man at all!” I don’t all the way agree with that narrative, but what do you say to that? 2.) I literally got off of IG and Twitter because the algorithm triggers my lust…and the Bible says that “if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out…” so I’ve had to delete the app in order to keep my heart with the Lord. So I would say that, instead of trying to change the ladies minds…we just need to log off…
1 John 3:7-8 “Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous. The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil”
The main moderator seems like he was going out of his way to refute everything the other guys had to contribute. That “I gotta be right spirit” was on full display during this episode..Geesh! I’ve been watching regularly and this behavior was really prevalent. That undercutting was real. Why even have others on if you going to act like that. Just do it solo, oh wait nobody would watch and you could not carry it. Show more grace, everybody had something of value to contribute!!! Blessings
I truly agree with the guy in the red at 14:49 regarding J Cole. And I do agree with everyone speaking about being double minded. But I'm so proud J Cole apologized, we need that type of humility in our community.
Im looking for new church because my pastor is in a greek organization. I'm praying for him to denounce. What are some biblically sound churches you recommend? ❤❤❤
Amen we’re called to practice righteousness not unrighteousness. What’s impossible with men or women is not impossible through God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.”
My momma taught me to never say the pledge or bow to anyone. She taught me to be set apart as a servant of Christ, that others should be seeing me and doing what I do. Following anyone besides Yeshua is a no go for me. Precept on precept
I think we need to stop trying to combat the evil and get so close to God that we do not get bothered by their antics. Address it when necessary but keep getting closer to Him.
There are lots of testimonies of ex Greek members talking about joining and Greek life. I think she has a point and people should judge and test those spirits.
Ryan ain’t leaving that fraternity. Just his answers to the questions asked let’s me know he gone be there! He deflects a lot! The truth of it all is Ryan is in an agreement/covenant with witchcraft! 💯
Black shirt black hat. I like him. He holds men accountable and this not the first time. Hold women accountable as well but like he said if the man don’t want it, not looking, not talking they won’t do it. Point blank. I personally feel to want the woman to make that move first is wanting her to lead you. And that’s the man’s job. Personally. As a man you recognize an issue and then say well she still doing it so I still want it, look at it, is her leading you. And that’s backwards.
Bring me on the show. Let's discuss Beyonce,R. Kelly, abortion, homosexuality, and Entertainment. Im a child of God entertainer/ creative turned award winning edutainer. I have a very unique perspective and testimony that knocks your socks off. Combine that with a love for the word and learning
Disobediance is why. Sin is why. When i recognized myself in the word i was humbled and more determined to not do what my ancestors did. Whoring after the idols of other ppls
For some reason this episode made me think of a movie I just watched called ALICE starring KeKe Palmer. If you haven't seen it please watch. I'd like to see it discussed.
Some churches are cultish and are responsible for a significant amount of church hurt. If we can point out that it's due to the people involved and not God, then the same should apply to certain people within the organizations who have made it their idol versus another vehicle to do the work of God in service of his people.
I wouldnt assume that these celebs are not under oath in order to get the fame and therefore are obligated to do stuff. Nuff celebs have talked about the doors that opened that lead to different levels.
1 Corinthians 5:9-11 King James Version 9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
It’s funny they’re saying “Culture Christian” when yall all over the place on this segment .. why are you even discussing “secular music” .. and I’m a huge Cole fan … and he’s far from wack… It’s no different than y’all bringing it up.., the dude with the red sweat shirt made the most sense ….
The word fan is a shortening of the word fanatic. This word has a negative connotation and is applied to religious leaders. If I'm fanatical about something it is Jesus. I'm in KC and when everyone wears their red shirt repping their Kingdom. I wear my kingdom clothes and when attacked I simply say this is the kingdom I'm repping
She has no idea what she's talking about. If you want to sin, please by all means go do it. But don't try to change what God called sin. She's trying to keep that community happy. But if you love them, you wouldn't want them to go to hell for practicing sin.
Y'all are outchea protecting Cole's feelings and morals whatever whereas he is not even Christian...meanwhile real Christians like LOSO, AWARD, TH3 SAGA are in the heart of lion's den(Battle Rap) going back and forth with the opps. That Cole apology was weak as F!!!! If he's an amcee, he must prove it...THIS IS HIP-HOP!!!

This was a great show and I love the rapid fire segments.
"Culture Christian" is a thing. Be a real Biblical standing, God fearing Christian

Loving the og Plain James in here on a weekly!
I like the male perspectives on women's topics my brothas! Keep it up yall!
I truly agree with the guy in the red at 14:49 regarding J Cole. And I do agree with everyone speaking about being double minded. But I'm so proud J Cole apologized, we need that type of humility in our community.
My first thought when I heard about OJ was, "I hope he found Jesus."
I love this show
Thank you!!

YOOOO Black Jesus' intro had me rollin 🤣🤣🤣
DJ is making me crack up!

Wait. Alcott changed the pace of his cadence as the beat changed. That’s dope!!
“I’m so cold I can see my own breath.” This kid Alcott is special!
I think we need to stop trying to combat the evil and get so close to God that we do not get bothered by their antics. Address it when necessary but keep getting closer to Him.
Amen, don’t honor or revere celebrities like a man of God Pastors. And idolize (no one) including Pastors.

If Jesus was a black man, does this now mean black people will become christian now? I doubt it very much. So I'm with Sean, so what?
For some reason this episode made me think of a movie I just watched called ALICE starring KeKe Palmer. If you haven't seen it please watch. I'd like to see it discussed.

You guys didn’t see them Mocking Jesus Christ in the cartoon trailer
I wish I could talk to K. Michelle
The Good Times cartoon 😡😡😡😡 that is a straight black stereotype
Where in the world does the Bible say He had locs, thats much more than a reach.
Rappidy Rap thing 😂
I wonder how yall Greek pledged Christian’s feel about pledging to the flag 🤔.
Are we putting out the truth and calling it fake news
I wouldnt assume that these celebs are not under oath in order to get the fame and therefore are obligated to do stuff. Nuff celebs have talked about the doors that opened that lead to different levels.
Right, humiliation rituals
@@ebangoosa I should have been clearer in my comment as I was referring to Rihanna. But yh it could apply to cole aswell😅😅.
Rihana ain’t doin nothin new. Madonna was doing this kinda foolishness YEARS ago. It is definitely disturbing tho
The ONLY right thing she said was that, no sin is bigger than another. Sin is sin.
Only.
What was Adam and Eve? What was Moses?
1 Corinthians 5:9-11

9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

Pretty sure this was a 2hr show🤔
We have to take line 4 line out
It’s a CULT 💯

I agree with sis I'm red. Thought the outfit was attractive. The skin that was showing was not intimate. I saw shoulders, not even cleavage.
J cole apologizing to the alphabet mafia? I guess he ain't the thug he claims to be hahaha
That's why I stopped following her a long time ago.
Y'all are outchea protecting Cole's feelings and morals whatever whereas he is not even Christian...meanwhile real Christians like LOSO, AWARD, TH3 SAGA are in the heart of lion's den(Battle Rap) going back and forth with the opps. That Cole apology was weak as F!!!! If he's an amcee, he must prove it...THIS IS HIP-HOP!!!
EI think you’re great for bigging up the Jesus emcees, but saying the letter implies the cursing. IJS. Why do that?
