He’s right it’s a purge on America and along with that what he saying we need to get those Republicans out of office that’s one step and the Republicans in every other state they need to vacate their seats and get voted out because they have an agenda and that’s every Republican party in this United States because they’re not for the black and brown people at all And as far as the churches go to TD Jakes and this pastor Coleman and even Rev. Al Sharpton and in that Muslim preacher they all need to pitch in for the cause and get out front and center because we only have one choice other than Jesus Christ and that electing someone in office desk gonna do something for the people and that Biden for America
That’s true too and everything is equal in the relationship if that man is gonna have that role of tiller of the soil, and take care of his family with the help of that help mate. That’s the right way and that’s a grown man weigh
I thought my husband had to be a Jehovah's witness like i was, until Jehovah himself woke me up and graduated me out of my religious studies and brought me to a man in whom His spirit actually was dwelling in. Through our marriage I've learned to value spiritual people over religious ones... There ia a huge difference
Yeah... did you hear the part where he is telling blk women to settle since they have slim pickings? There's nothing wrong with wanting your future husband to be a man of God. Too many ungodly blk men who claim to be good but only live for themselves and what you can do for them...
Our uncles friend have some relatives that live in St Louis Mo. They said there is a church that have a grocery store inside the church. Also that church have a baby store and men store that sells clothing. A regular store. Sell women items too. It's all free of charge. All open to shop in. After Sunday worship. Open thru the week too. They say this church is located in Hazelwood Mo. Name of this church: " HOPE"located in St Louis Mills. And the grocery is fresh. There grocery store looks like a regular grocery store. Clothes all new. They say it's like you shopping at Macys Store. Blessings.
Wow, although I'm not calling you a liar because you said your uncle has a friend who said ? So id love to see it for myself and ask how they got to do all that it has to be a very large church where everyone pays dues and there are some wealthy people at this church That can't happen at every church every where.. I think I will try to look that up 💯♥️🙏
Awesome. I've heard of this place. You can actually see the stores online. Great job helping the community. Every church should at least have a food bank and donation center no matter the size..
That's Great but unfortunately why is that not being spread all across St.Louis, you would think other churches would come to your church to build with you all to help you all expand, like Dr. Umar said thats a lot to put on a regular church. I truly appreciate what you all are doing but we need more churches to follow you all example of being for the people. I will love to visit this church one day to donate my time, money, and love and respect.
@@pamelahenderson3166 dr Umar Johnson is asking the church to do what clearly falls under the portfolio he created for himself. The mission of the church is clearly outlined in the bible. That is not to say that the church should ignore social and economic issues. But we will be happy to assist dr Umar Johnson if he can find the time to launch a socio/economic program.
@pamelahenderson3166 Please explain how the Black church has let anyone down. People are the church, and the building is a place where we gather to worship. I tell people that if you're looking for a perfect church, then they should not show up. We're not perfect people, and God does not expect us to be. He has commissioned us to love One Another, which some find it difficult to do. Whatever God does for these prosperity preachers, He will do the same and more for us and more. We don't need the middleman to reach God.
Greetings to you 💃 in my opinion I grew up in church I understand that we are human and Mistakes will happen. I am disappointed in some churches who are leaders that speaks Gods word and who are not being truthful about their actions! Authenticity matters and morals and values should never be questioned. Black churches have lost its core values and now what is being presented is false hope and its integrity is in crises . Loving one another is beautiful it is the belief that its leadership should always lead by example not by what society says or what is trending absolutely not ! It is the responsibility of the Bishop , pastor or processor to lead authentically with an open heart ❤️ no matter what happens it is always good to understand the truth who is leading the church , not by what is trending or because of money only through God🙏🏾🌹💃
@pamelahenderson3166 That's why we must read, study, and know God's Word for ourselves. Church leaders can't save you, Obedience will, and God's grace. Church leaders are human, and some of them don't know Jesus. Don't be fooled by the person in the pulpit, so many are. If Black churches have lost their core values, then so have the people who are the church. God is our hope, not Church folks.
Proud to say the church I attend which is based on Recovery from drugs and alcohol has a free grocery store after service on Sunday. We also offer free meals on Monday before evening service. Investing in your local area is the heart and soul of a church in my opinion.
So happy to hear that. But I do not think your church is collecting a large percentage of the 3 million he just mentioned. There are megachurches out there (black mega churches) collecting half a mil a month in tithes. What are they doing?
@@wesleyterry8772 I understand your point. We are a small church, 1 of 3 campuses. We specifically are in a rough area with active drug addiction and homelessness. We absolutely do our best with what the Lord blesses us with. It is appalling that them churches collect that type of wealth and not benefit their congregation and local community.
Hotep. I remember when I was a child, and I called my mother's church to find work. They denied me because I wasn't a member of the church or wasn't baptized. Here, I was a young man trying to do the right thing. And the church led me to the streets!!! It is an institution of deceit!!!!🔥💯🎯✔️🕷🕸⚔️🦂🪘⚠️🔱
So why didn't you become a member of the Church? I can kinda understand though, if you doing the Lord's work, you should at least be versed in the scriptures and already be a member. Why would they hire an unbeliever anyway?
2 Corinthians 6: 14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
@@jbizzle1966lmfao. What are you talking about this has to do with worshipping not allowing someone to work at your establishment has nothing to do with this verse. If you’re using it to say don’t marry outside of your religion how does that work? Catholics can’t marry Protestants that can’t marry Baptist that can’t marry Eastern Orthodox that can’t marry Jews that believe in Christ. They all practice the religion completely different but what matters as unar said is the common belief in god. Jesus never prayed to his human body. None of his disciples ever prayed in Jesus name matter of fact Jesus taught them how to pray to the father yet Baptist pray in Jesus name and other denominations. Should I not date them because they do something opposite to how I pray? Muslims believe in god. Hebrews believe in god. Rastas believe in god. He literally said they all believe so why are we stopping ourselves from marrying another because their “denomination” is different. You missed the whole point and ran to the Bible yet the Bible doesn’t help you out in this one.
John 14:6 Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” Jesus is god not separate. If you have faith in Jesus you then have what, faith in god. I don’t have faith in Jesus the man I have faith in god
Using our money unwisely is the root of our evils. Collectively we have the money, but since we have been integrated into the dominate society, we would rather spend our money as consumers rather than being producers. The Nation of Islam has given us the blue print, but we have been so brainwashed to believe they are evil that our so called leaders are scared to even mention them. Do you see violence in their community? Do you see promiscuity in their communities? Do you see drugs in their communities? Homelessness?, homosexuality? Unemployment? No! So why aren't we looking at one of the few African American communities that seem to have their shit together? It's about time for us to get our stuff together and stop looking for our historical enemies for help,cause it ain't coming
@@runoz2839Donation option is not the problem here. Instead what are you positively doing in your community development with that donation. FYI Dr Umar built and still building schools to educate our children rightly unlike the brainwashed education we have out there. We must learn how to grow with criticism. Black people must wake up and stop being the lowest of the lows
Thank you Dr. Umar. If Black churches would open companies, I would gladly seek employment with them. Black people are targeted at every company we are employed at. Open different types of businesses, that will also multiply the wealth in the Black churches and among our people.
Same here! Employment, volunteer and financial investment. I would have no problem supporting the Church in whatever way I could if it was an actual resource to the community that had outreach programs that addressed the needs of the people as opposed to being one big parasite like Umar said. The only thing I disagree with is Umar’s generational of all Churches because there are a small percentage of Churches in our community that do have outreach programs, but they are few and very very far in between.
Snowbunnies will have any brother in most cases & he may of wanted the easy road too. Not, someone holding him accountable. To tell sistas to settle, lessen their values is not an option to just have a man.
I totally agree! The black church use to be leaders in the black community. Now you don't get anything. It was the responsibility of the church. 1. The pastor would visit the hospitals 2. They would help you register to vote 3 We would visit the shut-in at their home with food 4 We didn't have homelessness DON'T BLAME THE WOMEN DR. THE BLACK MEN NEEDS TO STEP-UP IN HIS COMMUNITY. THEY HAVE BEEN MISSING FOR A LONG TIME!
The NAACP used to hold their meetings in the basements and in the evenings would plot the next step in the civil rights movement. NAACP, like many black churches have become useless.
My GOD !! I am 72 yrs old came through the South from 1952. To 1967. To the North from 1967 to 2023 ( Retired) !! Been in Churches since 1980.. This Brother knows exactly what He is Saying !!! He is absolutely CORRECT !! Not all … most Churches .. He is Correct !!!!
Black women raised Black men OUT OF WEDLOCK by Pookie and Ray Ray.These guys blew your back out and left you.Good men Black women do not want.Black women find good men boring.
That’s not the truth. If every parent would be involved in his/her child’s education, that would be be a game changer. Don’t expect teachers to perform miracles with your children. We work with what you send us, church school/public school. We are not miracle workers. You are your child’s first teacher.
To some degree we have failed ourselves. We engage in consumerism, we failed to invest in ourselves, and build wealth for others and failed to build wealth for ourselves. Mega churches should be doing mega ministry. I don’t agree about the husband ideology. Many black men don’t appear to engage black women on the level of wanting to be married to them.
Then you must make a list, pray for Yah to send your soulmate with these qualities and what you don't want in your life. Give up the life of the world, and have patience. Do what you gotta do as far as education, job, hustle. Bring your own dowery/skills. Have patience because your soulmate may be anywhere in the world, but Yah will bring him or her to you, and you must wait for that time. I, myself did 2 yrs celebrate and in prayer and phlebotomy school. I had 6 children when I met him and he 3. Two single headed households living in subsidized housing, going to construction school. Long story short, this man wanted to be free to work and provide while his children were home loved and safe. Beautiful still today after 23 yrs.
By and large, a great portion of what Dr. Umar refers to as the “black church” is really nothing more than small business operations striving to become bigger business. The leadership is exploiting their congregants to make that happen. These people are seldom educated at the level of higher learning, almost no divinity training and probably have nothing to offer in the corporate sector. So they are strategically growing a business under the guise of whatever religion they identify with but have little to no biblical depth of knowledge. They pretty much preach the basics of the New Testament with the inclusion of a brief scripture found in Malachi (Old Testament), since it deals with the tithe. And for the most part, black people are falling for it!
The government is still giving churches a hard time. Plenty of what could go into the community is going towards keeping the lights on and property payments.
For the last 5 years I’ve promoted an initial 90 day fast from all Black churches - and re-organize and/ or close if community issues are not addressed ( every Black community needs three things Food , Clothing , shelter.) Less Jesus freak and selling real estate in heaven to our mothers and grandmothers - address real issues that effect our day to day life.
Schools and seminars type learning about finance building is. Preaching to lost people that are not growing is not smart. But I understand. Change is the way.
Another thing no one is talking about is that when our ppl want to help our community by establishing organizations to help our community they are attacked by other communities, stating that our ppl are discriminating (not including other communities) even though these other communities have organizations that are helping them. Q: How can we resolve this noticeable agenda? I personally know someone from another community that was trying to help me put my child in a private school tell me that a friend of hers (their community) got their child in private school with the help of their community organization but stated that organization's funding and resources were only for their community. I was never given the name. Even when I called private schools I was told about the voucher program. I was told the deadline has passed and that they didn't know when the vouchers would be made available again. It's like everything is done in secret and or you have to know someone or be in their community bc they aren't going to give you a straight forward/honest answer. It's even like this for colleges - other communities (especially immigrants) are getting way more in scholarships funding & other benefits than those who are born in America. When it comes to our community if we don't include everybody, they won't let it happen even though they see our community is in dire need. How can we resolve this bc it definitely needs to be dealt with in order for churches and those who are in the position to help and trying to make moves to help our community?
In my opinion we have to be unapologetic about doing these strictly for us. But this would require unity which we don’t have because we don’t get along for the most part
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch not the unclean thing; And I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, And ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 KJV This is why!
I agree that our churches r NOT doing enough (given all the money given). We can do better. HOWEVER, ppl need to understand that: Men FAIL Politics FAIL Gov FAIL... But the word of God NEVER fails!!!
My people perish for a lack of knowledge. What God has put together let no man put asunder. After you've taken your vows, you're supposed to stay with your spouse even if they're not saved. It's further explained that the saved spouse could be the linchpin to the other person finding their way.
Absolutely! I know firsthand what happens when you marry someone who is not interested in a relationship with Yahweh. Didn't work. I would not make that mistake again.
We absolutely do and most of the time they don't appreciate it. They will use us to help build their table, then go eat with somebody else. This why we getting up from the table now before it's prepared.
I've updated a black man three (marriages ) times...And they were not bad guys, but they left...My love and loyalty to them meant very little...They were either afraid (or uncomfortable) of success, or their ego got in the way...But, I still love our black men ❤
Yeah The Nation of Islam hasn't failed us. Everything he talking about the Nation of Islam is doing! Put in the Time and what must be done part 30 and watch that video. And watch part 31 too! Minister Farrakhan in 2013 reintroduced back to us The Muhammad Economic program ending poverty and want. The problem with our people is that we are so wrapped up into what white people are doing rather than focusing on ourselves and listening and following the Leaders that God Himself as appointed for us to follow.
Put in or type in What is your role? What is your role? Address to the Married Couples. Watch that video by Minister Farrakhan. It is very Powerful! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 Tell me what you think.
These agents deleted my comment when I said that the Nation of Islam never let us down. Minister Farrakhan in 2013 reintroduced back to us the Muhammad Economic program ending poverty and want. Put in or type in The Time and what must be done part 30 and watch that video and watch part 31 as well. Our problem as Black Americans is that we are so wrapped up in what white people and what they are doing rather than focusing on us and doing for self.
Since we are the church, I guess we have failed ourselves. We have the greatest responsibility to participate in our own deliverance. Leaders in the church are held accountable to give us the information we need so we can apply it to our lives and help the next man. However, we don't even want to turn the pages, let alone pick up the book. I don't put no man or woman on a pedestal when it comes to leadership, but I'm keeping my eye on the one who created the tree, to build the podium that are so called leaders stand on. The failure is in us. Sorry to say that but we will not follow the instructions that lead us to an overcoming life.
This is my first time coming across this Web site and this young man is putting it all on the table, there is no excuse for us to be so far behind, we have nothing to show for our investing in the BLACK CHURCHES.
I agree with Dr. Umar’s stance on most Black churches. I disagree with his stance on Black women waiting to get married because a career comes first. White women support our Black men before they become successful? Really? Our Black women are not the preferred choice of many highly visible wealthy Black men-or most men for this matter. Many Black men want the forbidden fruit. Studies and experiments have shown this time and time again. So while we-Black women date Black men who don’t want to commit to monogamy, are sexual hobos, abusive, on the down low, etc., we as strong Black women attempt to remain focused on surviving out here. The average Black woman has the drive for success. I really wish a woman would have been invited to this segment. It’s disappointing to hear a brother bashing the Black woman. Dr. Umar can talk the talk, but he’s wrong on this one. He’s definitely not speaking from the true perspective of the Black woman. How can he? He’s speaking on assumptions and he’s definitely not a Black woman.
There is one Black Church (with a Black Pastor) that I know has an actual mall with a bank included. The name is Living Word Christian Center in Forest Park, Ill. I still agree there should be a lot more, but he did say "name me a Black Church".
Hello, I was listening to you on TH-cam. My question is... I grew up in church, I paid my Tithes, give my offerings, Christian. With churches on every corner, why don't we have a schools, and hospitals, and jobs! I'm in my sixty's now. My two children are grown. I give and give and give and don't see anything along these lines.
Wow. This blows my mind. After our Mother remarried and later divorced my stepdad, my Mother’s four brothers stepped up to the plate. Even though our fathers separated from our Mom they never stopped coming around. My Mother NEVER talked bad about them and they continued to be apart of our lives. Which is why we never felt we lacked good things… Although I don’t see much of that in this new generation I do see these relationships with my nephews with the next generations. Never thought about it being a part of our African heritage. Thank you 🙏🏾
God Bless you Dr. Umar. You truly understand the black woman. Every word you say applies to black women everywhere, not only in America. I think I'm falling in love with you! 😅😅😅😅😅😅 🇯🇲🇨🇦
Umar, that 60%, you better believe it. I actually thought it’d be a higher number! When I tell women I’m not Christian, it’s a dealbreaker for them. I don’t care what a woman’s religion is. I care about how you’re going to treat me.
I'm not a Christian, but I am a what...A Hebrew, Buddhist, Muslim, Witness, 7th Day Adv? What is your guiding principle or standard? What keeps you grounded? What do your morals stem from?
@timothyjenkins176 I can relate. I'm a secular/agnostic Black man, and Black women are my preference. The problem is, most Black women identify as Christian or hold some sort of religious/spiritual belief. This isn't an issue for me, but my beliefs and views have been a problem for the Black women I've dated. In my last relationship, I was with a devout Christian woman who couldn't accept my views. Despite my reassurances of not interfering with her religious beliefs, she often talked about not being 'equally yoked.' Even though we had a lot of chemistry, it became a constant point of contention. Funnily enough, the relationship ended for reasons completely unrelated to religion. I'm at a point where I still want to date and marry a Black woman, but I’m uncertain if I can find one who will be accepting of my worldview. I might need to consider dating women from other ethnicities. Sorry for the essay! 😅
He not lieing !!!! I’m Haitian and they recently inaugurated a huge Haitian church black people as a collective when we have churches it doesn’t heal nor address the issues that we have dealt with historically and globally across the African diaspora
I will agree that the Mega churches should do more. Back in the day there was the building funds etc to fix the roof, or pay the mortgage or other repairs and maintenance plus the preacher. But to buy jets, high end cars,and other luxuries, NO! The role of the church is to basically guide you in gods word and offer fellowship and comfort when needed. Anything else like we had in the day is surely needed and those churches should offer that type of leadership too, but that's on them.
Lets stop pushing and focusing on the failures Those who have broken the law Will receive the punishment for their actions It is time to focus our energy and attention On moving beyond our past Stepping into this present opportunity For change
Thank you brother for this topic and video. Thank you. I always like listening to Dr. Omar Johnson. I might not agree with everything he says but I pretty much agree with everything he says. But I want to say thank you for this video. Thank you brother over here on the big island of Hawaii.
Bring all the tithes into the store house so there will be meat/food in my house... Malachi 3:10..The church should be a place for blk community ppl to be built up. I am now dating a blk man who is not a Hebrew Israelite like me & he is 10yrs younger than me. Thank you Dr. Umar. 🙏🏽
“Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them. And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land. And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people. But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.” Jeremiah 12:14-17 KJV
Being a Hebrew is not a religion, now everything he's speaking about other than that is on point. Else we can say black is a religion and not a byword.
no, it's not... when guy on the left asked @ 2:41 is it the responsibility of the black church... and received an untruth answer in return & explanation of what church technically is a *meeting place* he's full of hot air that smells of 🐂~💩...
I agree wholeheartedly with you brother! We also need community centers in every community to provide education, resources, and entertainment to the populace.
This Guy is too smart to understand the Knowledge of God. There's no such thing as a Black Church. The True Church doesn't have a color. And the Church is not the building but the True Born-Again Believers Baptized in Christ Jesus. But so many people like him don't know how to explain the Word of God.
The first and most important order of the Black Church or any church is to save souls build godly character and the other items will fall in place. Seek ye first The kingdom of God and his righteousness and all of the things shall be added onto you. That is the sure path to success. Is God a liar
The church is supposed to provide spiritual guidance and teach members how to walk in God's grace. Religion has become a complicated twist of beliefs. There are major religions that have virtues of economic & religions domination. Dear brother, most everything you've said is small in thought. If you have the will to acknowledge new perspectives; you'll have a mountain of big thoughts. There are social dynamics that are outside of your purview. Your answers suit your thinking.
Wow! My husband had observed me in church before he ever approached me. When he told me things he observed, my mouth dropped. 😮 He gets me. He got me. Thank God we are equally yoked and same doctrine. We don't and won't allow any brainwashing. I am blessed with a strong black man. Glory to God!
All of them are teaching falsehood and nothing is going to get right until the people turn back to the true Mighty one...YAHWEH and His son YAHUSHUA...and start teaching the truth!!!! People open your bibles and read for yourself....red..yellow..black...white
Thank you Dr. Umar for continuing to pour your LOVE into the black community. My understanding of being equally yoke is, not being in a relationship with someone who shares the same religion as me, but someone who knows that GOD is REAL, no matter what religious path he is walking. The true is, we may be traveling on a different path, but the goal is to reach the same destination. Dr. U, your teachings compels me to look further, investigate and to seek the truth! Love you man...#fvicintheatl...
The man means 2 have the same belief, r how shall two walk together, except they r walking in the same direction. It's not the doctrine, it's the God u serve.
Saying we should marry anyone who believes in God is okay because we serve the same god, isn’t true. People serve the God of their understanding which is different for the Christian, Muslim, or Hebrew.
That lust of the flesh is just as strong in women as it is in men. I agree with u, but it's even more deeper than that. My young brother. Keep up the good work young brother.
That's why I can't accept the take-what-you-can-get " approach. The lust is the driving force, not the alignment of standards and principles. Lust will wear away, but the religion will or at least should keep it in tack!
He is absolutely right. I hear women say, "Jesus is my husband."
cuckoo cuckoo
He’s right it’s a purge on America and along with that what he saying we need to get those Republicans out of office that’s one step and the Republicans in every other state they need to vacate their seats and get voted out because they have an agenda and that’s every Republican party in this United States because they’re not for the black and brown people at all And as far as the churches go to TD Jakes and this pastor Coleman and even Rev. Al Sharpton and in that Muslim preacher they all need to pitch in for the cause and get out front and center because we only have one choice other than Jesus Christ and that electing someone in office desk gonna do something for the people and that Biden for America
That’s true too and everything is equal in the relationship if that man is gonna have that role of tiller of the soil, and take care of his family with the help of that help mate. That’s the right way and that’s a grown man weigh

Wow! This is the conversation many fathers did not have with us! Thank you Dr. Umar
I thought my husband had to be a Jehovah's witness like i was, until Jehovah himself woke me up and graduated me out of my religious studies and brought me to a man in whom His spirit actually was dwelling in. Through our marriage I've learned to value spiritual people over religious ones... There ia a huge difference
I’m familiar with your religion. They are the most indoctrinated and legalistic group of people. You’re in a high control cult.
Amen! There ia a Great difference! 💥
And Jehovah's Witnesses have their share of divorces. That's says a lot in itself.
I grew up a Jehovah's Witness as well.
Spirituality is the ESSENCE.
For Centuries These various RELIGIOUS organizations have been about control of Humans.

well keep that to yourself don't put this crap into other females head. Dr Umar is talk clown shit.
Yeah... did you hear the part where he is telling blk women to settle since they have slim pickings? There's nothing wrong with wanting your future husband to be a man of God. Too many ungodly blk men who claim to be good but only live for themselves and what you can do for them...

Greetings to you 💃 in my opinion I grew up in church I understand that we are human and Mistakes will happen. I am disappointed in some churches who are leaders that speaks Gods word and who are not being truthful about their actions!
Authenticity matters and morals and values should never be questioned. Black churches have lost its core values and now what is being presented is false hope and its integrity is in crises .
Loving one another is beautiful it is the belief that its leadership should always lead by example not by what society says or what is trending absolutely not !
It is the responsibility of the Bishop , pastor or processor to lead authentically with an open heart ❤️ no matter what happens it is always good to understand the truth who is leading the church , not by what is trending or because of money only through God🙏🏾🌹💃
@pamelahenderson3166 That's why we must read, study, and know God's Word for ourselves. Church leaders can't save you, Obedience will, and God's grace. Church leaders are human, and some of them don't know Jesus. Don't be fooled by the person in the pulpit, so many are. If Black churches have lost their core values, then so have the people who are the church. God is our hope, not Church folks.
🙏🏾
Proud to say the church I attend which is based on Recovery from drugs and alcohol has a free grocery store after service on Sunday. We also offer free meals on Monday before evening service. Investing in your local area is the heart and soul of a church in my opinion.
And speaking TRUTH.
So happy to hear that. But I do not think your church is collecting a large percentage of the 3 million he just mentioned. There are megachurches out there (black mega churches) collecting half a mil a month in tithes. What are they doing?
Please
@@wesleyterry8772 I understand your point. We are a small church, 1 of 3 campuses. We specifically are in a rough area with active drug addiction and homelessness. We absolutely do our best with what the Lord blesses us with. It is appalling that them churches collect that type of wealth and not benefit their congregation and local community.
The problem is,your church is a minority in the black community.
Dr. Umar was 1000 percent correct❤
Truth 100%
❤ this young black man
Cause he speaks up for the
Rights of black people!

Hotep. I remember when I was a child, and I called my mother's church to find work. They denied me because I wasn't a member of the church or wasn't baptized. Here, I was a young man trying to do the right thing. And the church led me to the streets!!! It is an institution of deceit!!!!🔥💯🎯✔️🕷🕸⚔️🦂🪘⚠️🔱
So why didn't you become a member of the Church? I can kinda understand though, if you doing the Lord's work, you should at least be versed in the scriptures and already be a member. Why would they hire an unbeliever anyway?
2 Corinthians 6:
14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
@@jbizzle1966lmfao. What are you talking about this has to do with worshipping not allowing someone to work at your establishment has nothing to do with this verse. If you’re using it to say don’t marry outside of your religion how does that work? Catholics can’t marry Protestants that can’t marry Baptist that can’t marry Eastern Orthodox that can’t marry Jews that believe in Christ. They all practice the religion completely different but what matters as unar said is the common belief in god.
Jesus never prayed to his human body. None of his disciples ever prayed in Jesus name matter of fact Jesus taught them how to pray to the father yet Baptist pray in Jesus name and other denominations. Should I not date them because they do something opposite to how I pray? Muslims believe in god. Hebrews believe in god. Rastas believe in god. He literally said they all believe so why are we stopping ourselves from marrying another because their “denomination” is different. You missed the whole point and ran to the Bible yet the Bible doesn’t help you out in this one.
John 14:6 Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”
Jesus is god not separate. If you have faith in Jesus you then have what, faith in god. I don’t have faith in Jesus the man I have faith in god
@bpavilion8994 Jesus turn no one away. The lost are in the streets.
The Church has become a CLOWN SHOW now
Not necessarily a clown show, although some are. But many are all about entertaining the congregation and enriching leadership.
The average church now looks like the BET AWARDS SHOW!!
@@jonathansmith2466 yep
What church y'all going to. We praise the Lord in our church I've never heard so much negativity about the church and as always black people.
A great many of them but there's many that are not
Mr Umar, you are 100 percent correct. We have been brain washed, the greed of money is the root of all evil.
right 🤨which is the same reason he has a donation option🙄
Dr. Umar!
Using our money unwisely is the root of our evils. Collectively we have the money, but since we have been integrated into the dominate society, we would rather spend our money as consumers rather than being producers. The Nation of Islam has given us the blue print, but we have been so brainwashed to believe they are evil that our so called leaders are scared to even mention them. Do you see violence in their community? Do you see promiscuity in their communities? Do you see drugs in their communities? Homelessness?, homosexuality? Unemployment? No! So why aren't we looking at one of the few African American communities that seem to have their shit together? It's about time for us to get our stuff together and stop looking for our historical enemies for help,cause it ain't coming
Nah, the root of all evil, is OUR own stupidity and gullibility..
REPENT..!!!
@@runoz2839Donation option is not the problem here. Instead what are you positively doing in your community development with that donation. FYI Dr Umar built and still building schools to educate our children rightly unlike the brainwashed education we have out there. We must learn how to grow with criticism. Black people must wake up and stop being the lowest of the lows
I agree with Dr. Umar Johnson.
as u should my beautiful blk sistah @ least u are woke unlike a lot of are loss culture.
I'm so grateful that we are ALL starting to get on the same page. We have a lot of work to do.
He's actually right he's not lying 🇩🇴🇨🇺🇨🇴🇲🇽🇵🇦🇵🇭🇵🇷🇻🇪🇺🇾🇺🇸✊🏼
WOW!!! Thank you for such commentary, speaking TRUTH 2 POWER!!!
Thank you Dr. Umar. If Black churches would open companies, I would gladly seek employment with them. Black people are targeted at every company we are employed at. Open different types of businesses, that will also multiply the wealth in the Black churches and among our people.
Same here! Employment, volunteer and financial investment. I would have no problem supporting the Church in whatever way I could if it was an actual resource to the community that had outreach programs that addressed the needs of the people as opposed to being one big parasite like Umar said.
The only thing I disagree with is Umar’s generational of all Churches because there are a small percentage of Churches in our community that do have outreach programs, but they are few and very very far in between.
I would not. They don’t know how run business
Snowbunnies will have any brother in most cases & he may of wanted the easy road too. Not, someone holding him accountable. To tell sistas to settle, lessen their values is not an option to just have a man.
Having GOD, being a man of God is a prerequisite or should be first & foremost. Talk to the brothers more brother.
I’m not a fan of Umar Johnson’s at all, but I do agree with what he saying about the black church
While accusing others, UJ is guilty of the same. 🤡
U dont gotta be a fan he speaks the truth with fact behind it why not be a fan
U should know that
Everybody please pray for black Chicago right now
Chicago is cursed by the BULL GOD
Pray?? That’s magic
I will.
What is going on in
We been praying since 2008
I agree with him all the way about the black church. 😢
LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD. THE TRUTH ALWAYS HURTS. WE ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMY. 😢😢😢😢😢
I totally agree! The black church use to be leaders in the black community. Now you don't get anything. It was the responsibility of the church.
1. The pastor would visit the hospitals
2. They would help you register to vote
3 We would visit the shut-in at their home with food
4 We didn't have homelessness
DON'T BLAME THE WOMEN DR.
THE BLACK MEN NEEDS TO STEP-UP IN HIS COMMUNITY. THEY HAVE BEEN MISSING FOR A LONG TIME!
He's blaming women for having children by these men, when they are not married to them.
The NAACP used to hold their meetings in the basements and in the evenings would plot the next step in the civil rights movement. NAACP, like many black churches have become useless.
They have been missing because the women ran them off. You can’t lead somebody that don’t wanna be led.
My GOD !! I am 72 yrs old came through the South from 1952. To 1967. To the North from 1967 to 2023 ( Retired) !! Been in Churches since 1980.. This Brother knows exactly what He is Saying !!! He is absolutely CORRECT !! Not all … most Churches .. He is Correct !!!!
Black women raised Black men OUT OF WEDLOCK by Pookie and Ray Ray.These guys blew your back out and left you.Good men Black women do not want.Black women find good men boring.
He ain't lying.
If every church would open a school , Black children would be taught correctly.
Listen ,Listen, Listen speak Black Prince
you sure what make you think black will do better
That’s not the truth. If every parent would be involved in his/her child’s education, that would be be a game changer. Don’t expect teachers to perform miracles with your children. We work with what you send us, church school/public school. We are not miracle workers. You are your child’s first teacher.
@@jeanglover9062 facts
Taught what ?
To some degree we have failed ourselves. We engage in consumerism, we failed to invest in ourselves, and build wealth for others and failed to build wealth for ourselves. Mega churches should be doing mega ministry. I don’t agree about the husband ideology. Many black men don’t appear to engage black women on the level of wanting to be married to them.
The yoke of yt supremacy was still about our neck until Holy Spirit woke us. I thank those with courage to speak truth to power.
Then you must make a list, pray for Yah to send your soulmate with these qualities and what you don't want in your life. Give up the life of the world, and have patience. Do what you gotta do as far as education, job, hustle. Bring your own dowery/skills. Have patience because your soulmate may be anywhere in the world, but Yah will bring him or her to you, and you must wait for that time. I, myself did 2 yrs celebrate and in prayer and phlebotomy school. I had 6 children when I met him and he 3. Two single headed households living in subsidized housing, going to construction school. Long story short, this man wanted to be free to work and provide while his children were home loved and safe. Beautiful still today after 23 yrs.
By and large, a great portion of what Dr. Umar refers to as the “black church” is really nothing more than small business operations striving to become bigger business. The leadership is exploiting their congregants to make that happen. These people are seldom educated at the level of higher learning, almost no divinity training and probably have nothing to offer in the corporate sector. So they are strategically growing a business under the guise of whatever religion they identify with but have little to no biblical depth of knowledge. They pretty much preach the basics of the New Testament with the inclusion of a brief scripture found in Malachi (Old Testament), since it deals with the tithe. And for the most part, black people are falling for it!
Having different doctrinal beliefs can cause division from the start.
100% right, no institutions but these white catholic schools are ahead with private education for their people
Our churches in the south does not invest.
They do in the pastor's Lexi and Benz.😂😂😂😂😂
"don't"
The government is still giving churches a hard time. Plenty of what could go into the community is going towards keeping the lights on and property payments.
@@prodigalson103 Never Heard of them

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
For the last 5 years I’ve promoted an initial 90 day fast from all Black churches - and re-organize and/ or close if community issues are not addressed ( every Black community needs three things Food , Clothing , shelter.) Less Jesus freak and selling real estate in heaven to our mothers and grandmothers - address real issues that effect our day to day life.
He is preaching it.
We Are Taking Heed To These Truths.
The true church isn't a business Matthew 16:13-18
Schools and seminars type learning about finance building is. Preaching to lost people that are not growing is not smart. But I understand. Change is the way.
Church 👎
You are living 2000 years ago
Another thing no one is talking about is that when our ppl want to help our community by establishing organizations to help our community they are attacked by other communities, stating that our ppl are discriminating (not including other communities) even though these other communities have organizations that are helping them. Q: How can we resolve this noticeable agenda? I personally know someone from another community that was trying to help me put my child in a private school tell me that a friend of hers (their community) got their child in private school with the help of their community organization but stated that organization's funding and resources were only for their community. I was never given the name. Even when I called private schools I was told about the voucher program. I was told the deadline has passed and that they didn't know when the vouchers would be made available again. It's like everything is done in secret and or you have to know someone or be in their community bc they aren't going to give you a straight forward/honest answer. It's even like this for colleges - other communities (especially immigrants) are getting way more in scholarships funding & other benefits than those who are born in America. When it comes to our community if we don't include everybody, they won't let it happen even though they see our community is in dire need. How can we resolve this bc it definitely needs to be dealt with in order for churches and those who are in the position to help and trying to make moves to help our community?
In my opinion we have to be unapologetic about doing these strictly for us. But this would require unity which we don’t have because we don’t get along for the most part
It's called activism, how many of us attend city council meetings, read the minutes of the state assembly and/or things of that nature.
All BIGFACTS 🌎1965 to🖤 Now‼️🤷🏾♂️
Dr . Umar is the embodiment of truth
He isn't even a real doctor. He is a con artist and a scammer who rips off Black people.
Is that so? Where is your black wife dr Umar? Where are the children that you are raising? What legacy are you leaving behind?
Truth is not what you say but what you actually do? Umar is a talker not a doer.
Facts!!!!!!💯
Am a black man n I rather be with latina women n they don't do that to Thier men . Y'all blk women are not better than Mexican women

Thank you!🙌🏾
I agree that our churches r NOT doing enough (given all the money given). We can do better. HOWEVER, ppl need to understand that:
Men FAIL
Politics FAIL
Gov FAIL...
But the word of God NEVER fails!!!
My people perish for a lack of knowledge. What God has put together let no man put asunder. After you've taken your vows, you're supposed to stay with your spouse even if they're not saved. It's further explained that the saved spouse could be the linchpin to the other person finding their way.
Absolutely! I know firsthand what happens when you marry someone who is not interested in a relationship with Yahweh. Didn't work. I would not make that mistake again.
Black women date Dusty Men and build them up all the time Dr Umar.
We absolutely do and most of the time they don't appreciate it. They will use us to help build their table, then go eat with somebody else. This why we getting up from the table now before it's prepared.
@jagthediva351 your totally off
I've updated a black man three (marriages ) times...And they were not bad guys, but they left...My love and loyalty to them meant very little...They were either afraid (or uncomfortable) of success, or their ego got in the way...But, I still love our black men ❤
I been saying this about the black church for years !!!
Brother is on point
YES MY BROTHER YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH...THESE SISTERS here are a trip
If you can't question something, then you need to ask yourself why it can"'t be questioned.
Can anyone name an entity in our community that has not FAILED us?
It's really sad...
Yeah The Nation of Islam hasn't failed us. Everything he talking about the Nation of Islam is doing! Put in the Time and what must be done part 30 and watch that video. And watch part 31 too! Minister Farrakhan in 2013 reintroduced back to us The Muhammad Economic program ending poverty and want. The problem with our people is that we are so wrapped up into what white people are doing rather than focusing on ourselves and listening and following the Leaders that God Himself as appointed for us to follow.
Put in or type in What is your role? What is your role? Address to the Married Couples. Watch that video by Minister Farrakhan. It is very Powerful! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 Tell me what you think.
Drugs
These agents deleted my comment when I said that the Nation of Islam never let us down. Minister Farrakhan in 2013 reintroduced back to us the Muhammad Economic program ending poverty and want. Put in or type in The Time and what must be done part 30 and watch that video and watch part 31 as well. Our problem as Black Americans is that we are so wrapped up in what white people and what they are doing rather than focusing on us and doing for self.
Since we are the church, I guess we have failed ourselves. We have the greatest responsibility to participate in our own deliverance. Leaders in the church are held accountable to give us the information we need so we can apply it to our lives and help the next man. However, we don't even want to turn the pages, let alone pick up the book. I don't put no man or woman on a pedestal when it comes to leadership, but I'm keeping my eye on the one who created the tree, to build the podium that are so called leaders stand on. The failure is in us. Sorry to say that but we will not follow the instructions that lead us to an overcoming life.
Bless you for that word..

This is my first time coming across this Web site and this young man is putting it all on the table, there is no excuse for us to be so far behind, we have nothing to show for our investing in the BLACK CHURCHES.
I agree with Dr. Umar’s stance on most Black churches. I disagree with his stance on Black women waiting to get married because a career comes first. White women support our Black men before they become successful? Really? Our Black women are not the preferred choice of many highly visible wealthy Black men-or most men for this matter. Many Black men want the forbidden fruit. Studies and experiments have shown this time and time again. So while we-Black women date Black men who don’t want to commit to monogamy, are sexual hobos, abusive, on the down low, etc., we as strong Black women attempt to remain focused on surviving out here. The average Black woman has the drive for success. I really wish a woman would have been invited to this segment. It’s disappointing to hear a brother bashing the Black woman. Dr. Umar can talk the talk, but he’s wrong on this one. He’s definitely not speaking from the true perspective of the Black woman. How can he? He’s speaking on assumptions and he’s definitely not a Black woman.
There is one Black Church (with a Black Pastor) that I know has an actual mall with a bank included. The name is Living Word Christian Center in Forest Park, Ill. I still agree there should be a lot more, but he did say "name me a Black Church".
Hello, I was listening to you on TH-cam. My question is... I grew up in church, I paid my Tithes, give my offerings, Christian. With churches on every corner, why don't we have a schools, and hospitals, and jobs! I'm in my sixty's now. My two children are grown. I give and give and give and don't see anything along these lines.
BIG TIME!!!. He’s right.
Very True
Wow. This blows my mind. After our Mother remarried and later divorced my stepdad, my Mother’s four brothers stepped up to the plate. Even though our fathers separated from our Mom they never stopped coming around. My Mother NEVER talked bad about them and they continued to be apart of our lives. Which is why we never felt we lacked good things… Although I don’t see much of that in this new generation I do see these relationships with my nephews with the next generations. Never thought about it being a part of our African heritage. Thank you 🙏🏾
5:21 sad yet so true
God Bless you Dr. Umar. You truly understand the black woman. Every word you say applies to black women everywhere, not only in America. I think I'm falling in love with you! 😅😅😅😅😅😅
🇯🇲🇨🇦
Umar, that 60%, you better believe it. I actually thought it’d be a higher number! When I tell women I’m not Christian, it’s a dealbreaker for them. I don’t care what a woman’s religion is. I care about how you’re going to treat me.
I'm not a Christian, but I am a what...A Hebrew, Buddhist, Muslim, Witness, 7th Day Adv? What is your guiding principle or standard? What keeps you grounded? What do your morals stem from?
@timothyjenkins176 I can relate. I'm a secular/agnostic Black man, and Black women are my preference. The problem is, most Black women identify as Christian or hold some sort of religious/spiritual belief. This isn't an issue for me, but my beliefs and views have been a problem for the Black women I've dated.
In my last relationship, I was with a devout Christian woman who couldn't accept my views. Despite my reassurances of not interfering with her religious beliefs, she often talked about not being 'equally yoked.' Even though we had a lot of chemistry, it became a constant point of contention. Funnily enough, the relationship ended for reasons completely unrelated to religion.
I'm at a point where I still want to date and marry a Black woman, but I’m uncertain if I can find one who will be accepting of my worldview. I might need to consider dating women from other ethnicities. Sorry for the essay! 😅
This Brotha is 💯 percent right all other races are doing for their people except for us
True
This podcast was so juicy. Dr Umar, you hardly disappoint
He not lieing !!!! I’m Haitian and they recently inaugurated a huge Haitian church black people as a collective when we have churches it doesn’t heal nor address the issues that we have dealt with historically and globally across the African diaspora
You are so right dat is very true
I will agree that the Mega churches should do more. Back in the day there was the building funds etc to fix the roof, or pay the mortgage or other repairs and maintenance plus the preacher. But to buy jets, high end cars,and other luxuries, NO! The role of the church is to basically guide you in gods word and offer fellowship and comfort when needed. Anything else like we had in the day is surely needed and those churches should offer that type of leadership too, but that's on them.
Teach Dr.Umar Teach🔥🔥🔥hurt piece, as a believer, and a church goer, I know this to be true!!!!!💯💯💯💔💔💔
Well stated!😢😢😢😢
Say it, Dr. Umar👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾‼️

Thank you brother for this topic and video. Thank you. I always like listening to Dr. Omar Johnson. I might not agree with everything he says but I pretty much agree with everything he says. But I want to say thank you for this video. Thank you brother over here on the big island of Hawaii.
I understand 🙏🏾
Bring all the tithes into the store house so there will be meat/food in my house... Malachi 3:10..The church should be a place for blk community ppl to be built up. I am now dating a blk man who is not a Hebrew Israelite like me & he is 10yrs younger than me. Thank you Dr. Umar. 🙏🏽
Umar has great truth!!!! What is he doing to change things????? I want to be part of the changes we can make based on these truths!!!!
“Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them. And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land. And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people. But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.”
Jeremiah 12:14-17 KJV
Wow thank for educating us on black culture just thinking lest start a black panther group.
Being a Hebrew is not a religion, now everything he's speaking about other than that is on point. Else we can say black is a religion and not a byword.
Hebrew is a byward used by the ancient Egyptians like n###er is used today bt whyte folks.
no, it's not...
when guy on the left asked @ 2:41 is it the responsibility of the black church...
and received an untruth answer in return & explanation of what church technically is a *meeting place*
he's full of hot air that smells of 🐂~💩...
So being Herbew is a race ?
Some are Hebrew..some are Indians..I'm a foundational black American!!! Here in America before any other race ..
@firelanefaulty4877 Foundational Black American here too . Ok I got you and thanks
I agree wholeheartedly with you brother! We also need community centers in every community to provide education, resources, and entertainment to the populace.
This Guy is too smart to understand the Knowledge of God. There's no such thing as a Black Church. The True Church doesn't have a color. And the Church is not the building but the True Born-Again Believers Baptized in Christ Jesus. But so many people like him don't know how to explain the Word of God.
Yea say that when it’s time to pay tithes
Yes Sir!!! Don't have to be the same religion!!
It is not the same, but what and where is your moral standard? Now, how do you measure conduct?
The first and most important order of the Black Church or any church is to save souls build godly character and the other items will fall in place. Seek ye first The kingdom of God and his righteousness and all of the things shall be added onto you. That is the sure path to success. Is God a liar
The church is supposed to provide spiritual guidance and teach members how to walk in God's grace. Religion has become a complicated twist of beliefs. There are major religions that have virtues of economic & religions domination. Dear brother, most everything you've said is small in thought. If you have the will to acknowledge new perspectives; you'll have a mountain of big thoughts. There are social dynamics that are outside of your purview. Your answers suit your thinking.
Wow! My husband had observed me in church before he ever approached me. When he told me things he observed, my mouth dropped. 😮 He gets me. He got me. Thank God we are equally yoked and same doctrine. We don't and won't allow any brainwashing. I am blessed with a strong black man. Glory to God!
All of them are teaching falsehood and nothing is going to get right until the people turn back to the true Mighty one...YAHWEH and His son YAHUSHUA...and start teaching the truth!!!!
People open your bibles and read for yourself....red..yellow..black...white
Thank you Dr. Umar for continuing to pour your LOVE into the black community. My understanding of being equally yoke is, not being in a relationship with someone who shares the same religion as me, but someone who knows that GOD is REAL, no matter what religious path he is walking. The true is, we may be traveling on a different path, but the goal is to reach the same destination. Dr. U, your teachings compels me to look further, investigate and to seek the truth! Love you man...#fvicintheatl...
The man means 2 have the same belief, r how shall two walk together, except they r walking in the same direction. It's not the doctrine, it's the God u serve.
Powerful conversation Brother's these Black churches are foul crooked smiles sad 😭.
So true!!!!!
Thank you, I really appreciate you for expressing your gratitude towards black women.
Saying we should marry anyone who believes in God is okay because we serve the same god, isn’t true. People serve the God of their understanding which is different for the Christian, Muslim, or Hebrew.
Can two walk together unless they agree?
Just imagine a Christian marrying a Hindu
Real talking very good.
That lust of the flesh is just as strong in women as it is in men. I agree with u, but it's even more deeper than that. My young brother. Keep up the good work young brother.
That's why I can't accept the take-what-you-can-get " approach. The lust is the driving force, not the alignment of standards and principles. Lust will wear away, but the religion will or at least should keep it in tack!
Truth has spoken, Thank you Dr. Johnson. 😌🙏🏾💝💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I agree.
I am agreeing with Umar.
PREACH !!!!
Not being with another practicing Hebrew is just lack of having standards and a foundation.
