Fair warning....there are several Native Americans on this board. I recommend keeping that in mind if you plan on making any more posts about Indian spirituality. They are all well-versed in the history and culture of their people and none are adverse to correcting errors/misconception/or fairy tale beliefs about NA's.

Right, and many Navajo Indians are well-versed in Scripture because they have Scripture in their own mother tongue, or native language.

Indeed they do.

Those well-meaning but spiritual-plague-bearing missionaries made sure your holy book was translated into every possible language -- for heathen-saving around the world.

I mean, killing.

Though predominantly French, I have NA blood in me as well from the New France area, now Quebec, and spent several over a month among some NA. I didn't say anything except to refer to a book I read. But thanks for the warning, anyway....Peace

Can you source this interesting tidbit with actual records? How touching you interacted with a group of oppressed and marginalized people and taught them how the great white god can provide more oppression if they reject that god.

Is there an equivalent to the DAWES ROLL that the great government organized to make monitoring and tracking indigeneous people so that future acts of genocide could be carried out easier?

You have no idea why I was there, but that doesn't stop you from your assuming and hate-spewing anti-Christian rhetoric, does it? That's one thing I like about you....you're consistent.

And my genealogy is really none of your business unless I choose to make it so, and I tend to only share personal things with friends, of which you are not. It was a casual comment, and even THAT, you want to duel with swords at dawn over. Pitiful. Peace

Israel has recognized the Cherokee Indians as many Indian traditions have much in common with Jewish traditions. They also found Jewish writing amongst ancient Indians and the idea is that around the time of Moses many Hebrews went into North America. Of course if a Cherokee wants to become a Jew, he can if he goes through the red tape.


People who never heard of Jesus is a good question, '' what happens to people who never heard of Jesus?''


I have no doubt that people don't go to hell because they never heard of Jesus. It is said that the Lord has written the law on the hearts of men and maybe this is what judges them. Maybe they know right from wrong and when they go against what is written on their heart, they are transgression their own laws.

I have always believed in a tribal heart, that God is looking for people of faith who have a heart of passion in seeking spiritual things like Indians and smoke. Jews and the smoke, there is something in the smoke. A priest would light the incense and pray as the smoke arose, and if he should ask a question, well then the smoke will answer him.


I think at the end of the day, passion rules, maybe even if a person is misguided in some way, I think passion means everything and this is to have a tribal heart.


Paul said of a Pagan God, '' Look, these are tutors to bring you to God.''

The Spirit of life has no particular form, it dwells within all living things.
