You tell me I cannot honor my ancestors, the very blood in my veins, because they are "gone." You call it worshiping the dead.
But then...
You kneel before a man who died on a tree over 2,000 years ago in a land you’ve never seen. You call his name, you eat his "body," you drink his "blood," and you wait for his return.
If one is "dead," aren't they both?
If one is "living spirit," why can’t they both be?
It’s time to stop letting one doctrine tell you that your heritage is "evil" while their history is "holy." Spirituality shouldn't require you to delete your DNA.
Our ancestors aren't dead; they are the foundation we stand on.
