Shingai Rukwata Ndoro Chiseling the Debris
FROM last week’s article, “Mwari” is similar to “Elohim” and “YaHoVaH” as being the harmonious union of three impersonal and cosmic powers – metaphysical (sub-conscious and conscious), psychological (masculine and feminine energies) and physiological (male and female). The terms “Mwari,” Elohim and YaHoVaH refer to an impersonal life force, itself a
composite actuality made up of the breath (“mweya” that is life bearer), intellect (“njere”) and physical power (“simba”).
These are all aspects found within and for every human being in different measures. “Mwari,” Elohim and YHVH are also figurative terms for the sexual energy in the creation of a new life. Without a balanced relationship of masculine and feminine metaphysically, psychologically and biologically, there is no harmony, creation and innovation.
If Abraham was alive today and told anyone that he wanted to slice the neck of his son after hearing a voice, he would be put in a mental institution and his son would be taken into protective custody. Saul/Paul foolishly claims that was a sign of righteousness (Romans 4:3).
In Genesis 22:1-13, the God of Abraham gave an order to Abraham wanting to know if Abraham feared him (God). He then stopped him when he said he was joking and he should kill an animal near to appease his thirst for blood.
As any rational mere human mind knows, this type of behaviour on the part of the Abrahamic God and on the part of Abraham is insane and criminal. Is this proof for the kind of the Abrahamic God?
A teaching in the Scriptures that is not good for children nor for the parents, as commanded in Deuteronomy 21:18-21, is when sons should be stoned to death for transgressions. There are other scriptural verses which call for the killing of children who curse their mother or father such as Exodus 21:17 among others.
According to 2 Kings 2:23-24, the Abrahamic God sent two bears to tear-up 42 little boys who were teasing the bald headed “prophet” Elisha about his bald head! Will stories like this improve your children? Or will they just put fear in them?
In Leviticus 27:3-7, the Abrahamic God lets little girls and women know they are not worth much.
How do you explain to innocent impressionable children that their Abrahamic God has put a monetary value on them? And that Abrahamic God thinks girls are worth only about half as much as boys! Also, infants younger than one month and unborn babies are of no value according to the Abrahamic God.
How do you tell your children that the Abrahamic God favoured one group of people “above all people that are upon the face of the earth” as Deuteronomy 7:6 claims about the Caucasian Hebrews/Jews? You are doing a great disservice to your children by propagating this shameful lie and teaching this nonsense.
One scary thought for children would be the validation of slavery and servitude as in Leviticus 25:44-46. In Matthew we see that “Iesous” (Jesus) said he is not only against the unreasonable and cruel laws of the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament), but that he came to fulfil them.
“Iesous”came for strife not peace and love. “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil” (Matthew 5:17).
And in Matthew 15:4-6,“Iesous” condemns the Jews for not following the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) which required them to kill their children if they cursed their parents. This paints quite a different picture of Jesus than the one used on most children’s Bibles!
Children have a very bad lesson in Luke 14:26, which claims that “Iesous” said, “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” This could only cause confusion and fear in the minds of children and adults that they may cause their father to lose his own life.
It also sets them up to be victims of socially deviant groups in addition to Abrahamic faiths by belittling their own lives! It sets up a mindset of hating your own life in order to please the religious leader. That is sick and very unnatural.
Zombies are a product of human imagination and are always a scare to children! In Matthew 27:52-53 we read about what can only be described as zombies or the living dead.
It states: “And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”
Based on this tall tale when “Iesous” died the “saints” arose from the dead but stayed put at their graves until about 45 hours later when “Iesous”supposedly came back to life and came out of his tomb. At that time they strolled into Jerusalem “and appeared unto many.”
No adult in his or her right mind would ever believe this kind of a narrative and it’s frightening to children. There are many more stories of this nature in the scriptures which are instructive for one to be crudely and aggressively hateful, discriminatory, violent, murderous, genocidal, vengeful and bloodthirsty.
Are you against these abhorrent actions but at the same time you are affiliated to and have affinity to the Abrahamic God whose nature is made up of all these? This is the same Abrahamic God who was pleased with himself when he was conceived in a human womb and then grew up to be tortured as a sacrifice to himself.
If the cruel, sadistic and narcissist Abrahamic God really exists, then “he” is not the same as “Mwari.” Source: paraphrased “Protect children from the Bible”, www.deism.com/childbible.htm
