Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden?

Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden?

Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden?

The only way to talk to God is in church?

Hah hah hah, you must be KIDDING

For years they kept God hidden

Look for God in self, not in what's written

Turn this up and listen

If your slavemaster wasn't a Christian you wouldn't be a Christian

*whip cracks*

If your slavemaster wasn't a Christian you wouldn't be a Christian

*whip cracks*

If your slavemaster wasn't a Christian YOU wouldn't be a Christian!!!

*whip cracks twice*

Your whole culture's missing

Hebrews are African, see they originated Judaism

The belief in one God is monotheism, see the truth is not hard

All you gotta know is the facts

When religion mixes with politics... it ALL GETS WACK

You gotta know your history, or they'll tell you that God is a mystery

And when you're born, you're born in sin

That's bullshit. That's BULLSHIT!

They're only saying you can't win

You can't succeed, you can't acheive

Don't ask about God, just sit there and believe

Well I ain't tryin to hear that lesson

Cause one thing I know

Cause one thing I know

Cause one thing I know is that the truth can always be questioned

YEAH that's how I'm livin

Ask and ye shall be given

When you're lyin, hah hah hah, you got no answers

You got handclappers and a WHOLE lotta dancers

in the church or sanctuary

They all forgot Jesus was a revolutionary

They all forgot Jesus was a revolutionary

They all forgot Jesus was a revolutionary!!!

that hung out with criminals

I would say read the Bible but it's not the original

So it's really misleading

If you don't know the history of the author you don't know what you're reading

If you DON'T know the history of the author you don't know what you've read

You can't taste the nectar

That answers the question on why I do lectures

Cause where every MC claims to be the teacher, I be DISSIN professors

Keep that Bible on your shelf

God helps those that help themselves

Stop reading from a dead book

Stop reading from a dead book for a live God!

You know how stupid you look!

God reads the Bible with you

You both read the language of the devil that's dissing you

What can the next man do

with a Bible in his hand that you yourself can't do?

Whether Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, or Jew

Burning candles don't get you down with the universal crew

So why you dress up on Easter and worship a false Mary

that looks like Mona Lisa? Hah hah, damn you lost

On Christ-mas, what's the purpose of Santa Claus? *bells jingle*

On Christ-mas, what's the purpose of Santa Claus? *bells keep jingling*

On Christmas what's the purpose of Santa Claus!!!

Or Saint Nickalaus, I'm sick of this wickedness

All revolutionaries check this

I'm not synthetic

I'm not anti-Christian, anti-Muslim, anti-Buddhist, or anti-Semetic

But I will set it off in the temple

Cause the real holy place is mental

The real holy place is mental

The real holy place is mental *starts echoing*

The real holy place is mental *echoing a lot*

The real holy place is mental!

The real holy place is mental!!!

Mental-physical, metaphysical
