Apostle takes the lead By CARA HUNT Tribune Features Writer cbrennen@tribunemedia.net
A
postle Valentino Williams is looking to inspire a new generation of strong leaders with his latest book, “Take the Lead – Practical Principles for Effective Living”. He told Tribune Religion that he felt the book’s message is very timely because of the leadership vacuum and deficiency that currently exists in our world. “The topic was chosen to inspire leaders to embrace their leadership responsibility and take the lead,” said Mr Willians, who serves as the senior pastor of Life Changers Ministries International. “The target audience is aspiring and emerging leaders. I would like for readers to take away the simple truth: leadership makes a difference. Understanding this simple truth will change their perspective on leadership. No business, organisation, government or marriage can succeed with poor leadership. This is why it’s incumbent for leaders to grow and develop. This book has been written to help facilitate the growth and development of leaders,” he said. The book was a five-year process, from the initial idea to publishing. It is the second book that Mr Williams has written. “I started writing this book five years ago, but there was
APOSTLE Valentino Williams at a recent signing for his second book, "Take the Lead". a three-year gap in the writing process so it took about two years to write and complete,” he said. “The process of writing this second book was a little easier than the first. With the first book, I was just developing or creating my writing style. So, it was a lot of trial and error and really trying to understand the whole writing process. The second book was just a matter of working the system I had created from the first book.” Mr Williams has been in ministry for almost three decades.
“I got saved in 1993, so 29 years to date. I have served in just about every capacity in ministry: youth worker, deacon minister, etcetera. I felt the leading of the Lord in 2001 to launch and begin ministry and my ministry was started in 2003,” he said. “Take the Lead” is available at Life Changers Ministeries on Bacardi Road, at the Logos Bookstore, All Seasons Bible and Book Store, at the Family Affair Service Station in Eleuthera and from Amazon.

A coming together of faiths By MATTHEW THIESSEN Associate Professor of Religious Studies, McMaster University (THE CONVERSATION) – This year, Easter and Passover, holidays central to Christianity and Judaism, respectively, began on the same weekend. This timing provides an ideal opportunity to address faulty and often dangerous misconceptions that have been part of Christian communities for nearly 2,000 years. Many Christians of varying denominations regard their faith as having developed from Jesus’s rejection of Judaism. But Jesus was a faithful Jew who respected and protected Jewish traditions, practices and laws. The belief that Christianity replaced or supplanted Judaism is known as Christian supersessionism. Christian supersessionism has not only fed into negative perceptions of Jews and Judaism since antiquity, but has also incited violence against Jews. Historically, Christian antiJewish sentiment often became especially pronounced when Christians observed Holy Week, the week commemorating the time leading up to Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection. As Amy-Jill Levine, a leading professor of New Testament and Jewish studies, writes, “every time the Passion narratives are read, the threat of anti-Judaism reappears.” Reading the Christian Gospels From as early as the second century to today, some Christian readers of the New Testament Gospels have concluded that these depict Jesus doing away with Jewish law or replacing Judaism. This interpretation often includes the view that Jesus told his audiences that rules regarding ritual purity were irrelevant and outdated. But these views are simply incorrect. Ancient Jewish law focused on three sources of ritual impurity: corpses; male and female genital discharges; and skin conditions known in Hebrew as tzaraʿat, translated into Greek
accusation has been used to fuel dangerous myths that have served to bolster violence against Jews. Matthew’s Gospel was written by a Jewish believer in Jesus and for other Jewish believers in Jesus. So regardless of its polemical nature, it is unlikely that Matthew would have intended or approved the use of these verses as both a curse and a pretext for violence against all Jews throughout time.
THE HARMFUL belief that Christianity ‘replaced’ Judaism is partly rooted in the erroneous view that Jesus told his followers that rules regarding ritual purity were outdated. Photo:Wikimedia Commons as lepra. English translations of the Bible mistakenly identified this with leprosy, a disease that would have been unknown to the ancient Israelites. Anyone in a state of impurity was not permitted to visit the temple until a certain period of time had passed and they had washed in a ritual bath. The Gospels depict how Jesus interacts with many people who were experiencing ritual impurity. At the end of every one of those episodes, the people he meets are no longer in a state of ritual impurity. Their encounter with Jesus results in both their healing and purification. Removing sources of ritual impurity For example, in Gospel stories describing the life of Jesus, people with lepra are purified when Jesus heals them. In the Gospel of Mark, a woman who had been “suffering from haemorrhages for 12 years” — another condition causing impurity — leaves Jesus with her defiling discharge healed. And even corpses, which are inherently impure under Jewish law, are no longer corpses after Jesus brings them back to to life. Since many modern Christian readers are unfamiliar with ancient Judaism’s ritual
impurity system, they often fail to recognize that Jesus repeatedly removes the sources of ritual impurity from people he encounters. These sources of impurity seem to be connected with death or the loss of life. Brushes with death My scholarship has examined how Jesus roots out ritual impurity throughout his ministry. These encounters with people who are ritually impure do not depict him rejecting the ritual impurity system, but battling the root sources of impurity (forces of death) and defeating them. These events demonstrate Jesus caring so much about ritual impurity that he took actions to resolve it wherever he encountered it, because it was a barrier to accessing the temple, where God’s presence dwelt. These skirmishes with impurity culminate with Jesus’s own death on a Roman cross. At the very point when it looks like death has defeated Jesus and he has become irrevocably ritually impure, the Gospels depict Jesus’s resurrection and triumph over death itself. Jesus’s resurrection becomes a central aspect of Christian theology. Impurity and destruction of the temple
The notion that Jesus rejected Judaism and Jewish observances developed in the decades after the crucifixion. After the destruction of Jerusalem’s Second Temple under Roman occupation in 70, some followers of Jesus felt there was no longer a reason to be concerned with impurity because no one could visit the temple. Many Christians today, especially those in the West, live with little or no concern for ritual impurity, and thus conclude that Jesus too must not have cared about it. But this is an inaccurate understanding of Jesus. In fact, many early Christians, some of whom were Jews and others of whom were non-Jews, continued to observe aspects of ritual purity, only abandoning it partially and over time. Avoid perpetuating anti-Judaism One of the most dangerous New Testament passages occurs in the Gospel of Matthew’s Passion narrative, which depicts Jews at Jesus’s trial demanding his crucifixion and declaring, “May his blood be on us and our children.” Many Christians through the ages have understood these verses to pronounce an eternal blood curse upon Jews as “the Christ killers.” This imagery and wrongful
Avoiding anti-Judaism Levine discusses and evaluates contemporary Christian strategies for avoiding antiJudaism during Christian Holy Week. One strategy she flags as misguided and insensitive is taking a romantic approach to the past — such as if churches seek to celebrate a “Christian seder.” Passover and Easter both commemorate liberation — one in terms of escaping the bondage of slavery, the other in the form of resurrection from the dead and freedom from sin. Some earlier biblical scholars believed that what the Gospels describe as Jesus’s Last Supper was in fact his celebration of the Passover seder, but most scholars now disagree. Levine notes while there are “educational benefits to introducing Christians to Jewish ritual,” a Christian seder is “historically compromised,” demonstrates interfaith insensitivity and “serves to absolve the congregation: how could they be anti-Jewish if they are doing something so Jewish as having a Passover seder?” Levine writes that “Jews and Christians today can recover and even celebrate our common past,” while working together to “love G-d and our neighbour.” For Christians, this begins with admitting the problem and directly confronting it. • This article is republished from The Conversation, an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.

Mr J advances to next round of Atlanta-based Prayze Factor Awards By JEFFARAH GIBSON Tribune Features Writer jgibson@tribunemedia.net
B
AHAMIAN gospel singer Gesner “Mr J” Dalmond has advance to round two of the international Prayze Factor Awards. This is the second time the artist has been nominated for the awards. Mr J has been nominated for three categories. And to snag the international award, the local singer needs fans and his fellow Bahamians to vote for him during the friendly competition. Mr J is nominated for International TV/Show Host of the Year, International TV/Network of the Year, and International Solo Artist of the Year. Founded and produced by Apostle Dr Teresa Jordan, (affectionately known as “Pastor T”), the Prayze Factor Awards are a platform specifically and strategically formatted to bring
maximum exposure to gospel and faith-based artists. The awards, based in Atlanta, Georgia, are designed to expose arts on a national and international level, with major market radio, television and industry exposure. “It’s an amazing feeling. From the moment I received the e-mail stating the date of announcement for nominees in the second round, I immediately thought to myself that I had advanced. This is a great encouragement for me to continue persevering in the work that I am doing. What we do for the Lord is not in vain, therefore at many points the confirmations will come,” the elated artist told Tribune Religion. Mr J said the gospel music industry is a very tough arena where one has to compete with thousands of artists all striving for the same thing. And being an independent artist like he is makes that challenge even greater. Being nominated for a second year in three categories
MR J
validates Mr J’s efforts over the last decade to solidify his place not only on the local music scene but the international stage as well. And a win would definitely bolster his career on the international scene. “A win would possibly mean more open doors and opportunities of collaboration and partnering. It would allow more work to be done in an effective manner as we try to reach people through the message of Christ in the music,” he said. As Prayze Factor Awards are a fan-driven, artists are required to engage their fans in voting, commenting and promoting their respective ministries. There are two rounds of promotions. Nominees will be afforded several opportunities to engage their fans and to show their nations the strength of performing arts ministry. For more information, visit www.prayzefactorawards.com.
COMMONWEALTH MASONS CELEBRATE WOMEN OF THE BIBLE IN EXUMA MEMBERS of the Ebenezer Baptist Church family in Exuma along with the church’s pastor, Rev Stephen Smith, recently hosted a Commonwealth Masons and Order of Eastern Stars event as they celebrated Queen Esther's Day. “We were happy to celebrate during the Esther Day Celebration. The name Esther means star, who risked her life to save her people. Let us continue to celebrate the ladies of the Bible and encourage each other,” said Grand Matron Lady Jospehine McKinney. Vanessa Smith, Ebenezer Church member and president of Prestige Business Solutions, said at the service, Cecil Smith preached on the topic “Life is a journey not a destination”. “He spoke about the four Ps: Preparation – you must prepare for life. Pray – pray always
because prayer changes things. If Jesus needed to pray, we definitely need to pray. Sometimes just stop talking about it and simply pray. Place – we must be in the right place at the right time. Position ourselves and
God will bless us. Ask yourself is your mind in the right place. You have to be in the right place. Peace – hold your peace. God will preserve you and allow you to make it through unscathed.
The battle is not yours,” said Ms Smith. In attendance were Lieutenant Illustrious Rico Glinton, the Grand Deputy Emeritus Illustrious Ezra Bodie, and the Associate Grand Patron
Illustrious Casen Cooper, who represented as the advisor to the National Supreme Council. “Also attending was Associate Grand Matron Sister Cash who represented the Queen Bethsheba Grand Council, the Worthy Matron for Emerald Stars #944 Sister Kirsten Sweeting and her Associate Matron Sherrel McKenzie. The Worthy Patron Tawarii Fulford and the Worshipful Master for King David #8 Darvin Munnings were also delighted to be there. The group made a monetary donation to the Ebenezer church family. Another Lodge member commented that they decided to visit Exuma because of the great work the organisation is undertaking in the forms of outreach, community development and offering assistance to those in need.
