My advice to the panel discussing Deuteronomy is that you all need a moderator!
A moderator will enforce that questions definitively are answered. For example, Mr. Soso asked who the gentiles are. The Deacon advised Mr. Soso to read Genesis. A good moderator would not have allowed the answer the Deacon give to stand.
Secondly, none of you have focused in on the precise point the Deacon is trying to make which is that Black Americans are the people in the book of Deuteronomy. You all should establish precisely what is point is and then begin to debunk his position by first making Deacon show a connection between the Black Americans and the book of Deuteronomy and you all are not doing that. Start with the fact that Black Americans are a NEW race of people.
As a result no one comes away with anything positive! No gains have been made!
