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.

At the end of the day it is celebration for our people.

Also, how do you Karenga really assualted these females?

You never know, he could've been framed and another thing, he created Kwanzaa in prison, what's the big deal?

@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

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.

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?

[kindezi1]

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.

[dixmoor1]

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

hear us? Only demons can.
