I listened to your interview with Jessie Lee Peterson. You exhibited the caution I expect of a Ibo man. You addressed a child in the way a child must be addressed that he either understands or suffers chastisement.

You were correct about the fall of Adam. Whether Eve ate of the forbidden fruit did not matter, not one leaf shook by her trespassing the law. Yet, when Adam ate what the LORD God forbade, the earth under his feet shook.

Even more so, you were correct about Jesus NOT being God. Jesus is LORD. The reason we fail in this understanding is because we do not make a distinction between the terms "Lord" and "God." In short, where what emerges as your "God" is your destination, what serves as your "Lord" is he who delivers you upon the path that delivers you to your God. Your example is with Canaan. With the LORD witnessing how the "spirit of a king" (Numbers 23:21) prevailed amongst the people. The caution being, for Israel to demand that she be ruled by a king, the same testifies that she does not desire for the LORD to rule over her (1Samuel 8:7). So, what the LORD observes of Israel's countenance as she emerged from the land of her oppression. He realized that she was ill-prepared to enter the land of promise (Genesis 17:7-8). And it is for this reason that the LORD had Israel to wander in the wilderness for 40 years that He weeds out the chaff. Such is the basis as to how we distinguish between the meanings of "Lord" and "God."

Be at peace my brother. As with all who are "old souls" (those who come from and know their ancestral traditions) you are a god-send. You are our buffer against the winds of ignorance and darkness that continually overwhelm us in America; "us" being those who are descendants of the Negro slave. You serve as our anchor. You grant us that needed perspective that we have the girding to look back upon the legacy of our ancestral fathers that we discern for ourselves, I AM (Exodus 3:14-15).

I also left this comment on Peterson's video: "I listened to the entirety of Jessie's interview with Rev. John Udo-Okon. Reverend Okon exhibited the caution I expect of an Ibo man. When speaking to a child, you address him in the terms and language the child's best to understand. Since, in the wake of your having observed such patience and caution, you are better to leave him unto his own devices that he chooses between good and evil. Your patience and caution achieve this given you've delivered the child unto truth. Much respect goes to Reverend John Udo-Okon."

(Though Peterson has the right to delete the comment. Here's the link just in case you'd like to review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX4rrkMMKk8)
