12 For all who do these things are an abomination to the LORD, and because of these abominations the LORD your God drives them out from before you. 13 You shall be blameless before the LORD your God. 14 For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not appointed such for you.
9 “When you come into the land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11 or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spirits, or one who calls up the dead.
Light does not fellowship with darkness and if anyone who claims they love God practices kwanza because of the 'good' principles then they are fooling themselves. You shouldn't even pick and choose what you like about kwanza and say ok well this part of it is ok for me to do. The Bible teaches us not to give a single foot hold to the devil. please read : Deuteronomy 18:9-14
They call forth spirits of their ancestors and have objects in front of them -idols- representing what gives them strength, unity and peace. We have all of those qualities from the Lord and NO ONE else. Yes there are good principles practiced within kwanza but as the devil is a deceiver and pulls you in to sin by looking good so are the principles in kwanza. We can as Christians learn good traits from our Savior.
Lastly, I do not believe there is anything wrong with giving gifts during the Christmas holiday because when Jesus was born He too received gifts (don't break your wallet and don't teach/believe that what Christmas is all about). Kwanza is WRONG!! I do not and will not like or take any part of any church who practices this holiday. I am highly taken back by those who claim to be in Jesus and in leadership who thinks this holiday should be practiced in God's house/place of worship.
Kwanzaa is the greatest African celebrated hoilday and we will always be in-tuned with our achievements of what our families left for us and in-order to advance and grow and grow as a people and as a family.
@peasah2005 I don't know about you, but I would be pretty ashamed of celebrating a holiday that was created by a man while he was in prison for torturing two women. Oh and the two women were in a cult that he had started(US which stands for United Slaves) What a joke
By the way, what exactly is communion where you drink the symbolic blood and eat the symbolic body of your so-called "spiritual father" in "rememberance" of him? Is that not LIBATIONS?
dixmoor1, you obviously do not understand libations. You obviously don't know the history of th the Bible nor of Jesus. The bible does not ONE TIME instruct ANYONE to worship Jesus. Not one iota of scripture anywhere in the bible can you find where either God, the disciples nor Jesus himself instructed anyone to worship him as a diety. You you have erroneously made a religion out of the practice of worshipping Jesus, and you demonize any one or any thing that does not hold to that belief.
Voodoo. Stay away from these practices from Africa. There is only one we worship and that is Yeshua (Jesus Christ). My people are destroyd for a lack of knowledge. This is whywe are still suffering under a curse of poverty. Jesus came to free us fro idols. Ancestos? Where are they? Are they with God? Then let the dead worry about the dead. This woman is in darkness. Better read your Bible people. We were NOT told to pour libations or honor dead "Spirits." Can they
