Denying Temptation (Iniquity)

                Denying Temptation (Iniquity)

Positive Christianity Series Episode #290

GOD Almighty tells us in the Scriptures that we can persevere living in serenity and obeying the commandments of Moses. We can avoid the practice of deceit and wickedness that occurs in idolatry. There are false doctrines of deceit that attempt to lead to envy, hate, coveting, and violence.

"No ill befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble."- Proverbs 12: 21

The story of Malcolm X describes that iniquity and crime does not help individuals. Malcolm X was a thief, drug user, and drug seller and was sent to prison. Malcolm X would learn about jihadi Islam in prison and believe that hate and racism were manners to improve and fight against hate and racism. Malcolm X believed that hate and violence could be used to fight oppression being that he was deceived into perpetuating hate and racism. (The Civil Rights Movement improved the lives of African Americans and minorities through genuine empathy, civil disobedience, and removing hate.)

"Whoever despises the instruction brings destruction upon himself, but he who reveres the commandment will be rewarded."- Proverbs 13: 13

Malcolm X was deceived into believing that there was no need to obey the commandments of Moses described in his "by any means necessary" remark. Malcolm X also said a lot of discouraging comments about the Civil Rights Movement. However, we know that the snake wants individuals to live in conflict, hate, and division so that the commandments of Moses are disobeyed. Malcolm X would join the Nation of Islam being an advocate of jihadi islam. Malcolm X would begin to question jihadi Islam and saw that not all white people are evil and began to change his mind about jihadi islam. 

Malcolm X saw that the leaders of the Nation of Islam in the 1960s were in agreement with racist socialists. Malcolm X would be excommunicated from the Nation of Islam for having changed his mind and thinking for himself. Instead of following orders, he began to believe in the need to remove racism and be a pacifist. Malcolm X began to instruct African Americans on the importance of being self-didactic and learning for oneself. Because he no longer advocated for racism and violence and instead encouraged the need to remove racism and violence, he was hated by jihadi muslims and also by racist socialists. It is noted that he was murdered after leaving the Nation of Islam and starting his own group to instruct self education without racism and violence. His new group was growing, and he was murdered a short time after. There are books that state that the jihadi muslims shot Malcolm X. He was not a Christian but did realize that violence and racism are not the answer to the problems that exist in the world. Malcolm X discovered that self-empowerment happens through education and removing violence and racism. He was hated by racist jihadi muslims for not hating whites and also by racist socialists for renouncing violence for pacifism. (There is the need to remain skeptical about Islam since the Qoran advocates for violence and envy. The Imams that have advocated for peace and have tried to reform the religion so that that the violent parts of the Qoran are removed have probably been persecuted and opposed. There was a story on the newspaper in the Wall Street Journal in the 2010s of clandestine CIA agents who attempted to illegaly kidnap an Imam in Italy, but the Imam was safeguarded after the police rescued him. We can be skeptical of racist socialists and racist jihadi muslims.)
