Advent Is About How We Treat The Poor Among Us, Because… Yeshua Was Poor

Wherever injustice thrives, there also will poverty. Because injustices pervade our world, the poor live among us all year long and not just at Christmas.

If Yeshua’s Mother Was Not a Virgin, Would You Still Believe He Is God?: The Implications of Women’s Sexuality for the Christian Religion.

What does it matter to Yeshua's claims to divinity that his mother was a pregnant virgin? What would it have mattered if he'd been birthed by a non-virgin woman? Would his divinity have been questioned, rejected or mattered less? If yes, then we are looking at a situation where salvation of humanity depends on women's sexuality.

Advent Post: God In The Changing Heart

"The most difficult part of making changes in our lives is that our communities do not always change with us. Our friends do not always change with us. Our family members do not always change with us." -Rev. April Emick Fiet

Man or Husband Does Not Mean or Translate as Protector, Provider, Defender, Etc..

Nowhere in the Scriptures is there mention of this term being translated to mean 'provider,' 'defender,' or 'protector.' Instead, what we see in Scripture is that people who are in covenant of commitment to one another deliberately practice and model these concepts regardless of their gender. -Oghene'tega Swann

"Women cooked
And cleaned up after husbands and after children
But Elizabeth didn't
So she wasn't woman enough"

When Our Skin Is Our Sin

"As the black community grapples with the effects of incarceration on generations of black men, we now have to grapple with the incarceration of black women and the fact that colorism and the disdain for blackness is a contributing factor to who enters prison and how long they stay there." -Onlielove Alston
