The True Gospel of inclusion

November 2008

When I became a Muslim in 1989 I put away certain schools of thought. The first was the theory of heaven and hell. As a child I never fully understood that concept. I always use to ask in Sunday school, " How is a place six times hotter that the sun and its six feet below? Would it burn our feet?" My reply would be this "Baby that is the way the Lord designed it. You just need to have a little more faith."

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches and so do others state that heaven and hell are two planes that exists right here on earth. A life of debt, misery wickedness and strife is hell. A life of peace and tranquility is heaven. Simple philosophy, atleast I thought so. However, when I ventured out and posed the question it may suprise many of the responses and examples and parused upon.

I was working in a christian outreach program. I posed the question to one of my senior co-worker. This was her response. "I could not possibly believe how you believe I need the threat of hell." See, living and doing the right thing for the sake of doing it was not enough for her.

Here is another example. I happened to be watching a newcast on World Link TV. The newclip was about a 14 year old Palestinian boy blowing himself up in Israel. I thought to myself, this is a 14 year old kid. What was this child promissed? Was he promissed by some cleric that upon his death he would recieve 70 virgins in heaven? Think about that, if there were REALLY 70 virgins waiting don't you think that old cleric would have been strapping himself up as well.

What would you do if your Preacher, Teacher, Guide, Imam, or Cleric got in front of you during Sunday morning services or Friday night Jumah and stated that there is no physical place called heaven or hell? Would you reak havoc, rob, steal, cheat because you feel that there is real punishment? Would you do the right thing by others because it's the right thing to do?

Well I wrote this last year. Then I watched a documentary on a Minister lost everything doing just by just that. His name is Bishop Carlton Pearson. He is the most courageous person in the Ministry besides Minister Farrakhan.

Bishop Pearson was wealthy beyond belief. He had a huge congregation, power and prestige you name it he had it. Bishop Pearson had a revelation that shook the very core of his belief structure. He studied about the origins of Christianity and came to the realization that there was no HELL.

He could not continue to preach what he once believed nor could he Shepard his flock in that direction. Bishop Pearson began to share this new knowledge with his congregation. The Bishop thought that this would bring comfort to his congregation.

To say the least his most of his congregation left his church. He was ostracized by the Christian community. In short order he was persecuted. But truth always wins out. Even though he lost it all, he gained so much understanding and new life with a new mission. The Gospel of Inclusion.

I support you Bishop Pearson in all you do.
