Cus D'Amato is I believe an example of a Warrior Angel from God.
When I write about people who I think are examples of a "Warrior Angel from God", obviously I do not know everything about them, probably nobody does other then God himself; but I am going to provide evidence that shows that Cus D'Amato is infact a Warrior Angel from God.
Cus D'Amato was an older guy and he saw a young person, Mike Tyson, I am sure that he saw the potential in Tysons physicality but I believe that D'Amato saw something else in Tyson that he thought was even much more important. This is what is special about Warrior Angel's from God; I think it is a two part thing, 1 part is that they have the intuition to see something special and something hidden, the other part is that they have the will to act.
D'Amato saw something in Tyson and he acted, he followed through with the labor and the work in order to be there and build Mike. Mike needed somebody to believe in him because nobody else probably did but Cus D'Amato came along and believed, sometimes the most important thing that a young person can get is somebody older telling them that they believe in them; That is such a powerful thing and a lot of older people do not realize that they have this power.
Mike Tyson has had an interesting life and ultimately it was Mike that made the decision, D'Amato did not make the decision for him, D'Amato just helped and guided. I think that Mike Tyson will go on to be a Warrior Angel from God in his own right, I believe that he already is and in his own way through interviews and talking, and just being REAL, he is making a powerful positive impact on the world that other people can be affected by if they choose to be.
----------------
On a side note, something that I was thinking about, that I realized from a very strange dream that I had... is that Evil is real and it is personified, the personification of Evil which is the devil is more powerful then any human being can ever be.. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ and or his Word that the personification of Evil can be defeated in your own heart and soul. The complexities in the battle to defeat evil are beyond human comprehension but Jesus Christ does stay working. No matter how your own warrior Angelness comes out, a solid faith in the word of Christ will lead you to be something that maybe you deep down wish you can be.

Analysis of Tupac speaking about Christianity
http://youtu.be/DjHhJ-qSZ4Q
I wanted to post this video of Tupac talking and discuss what he is saying:
He starts out by saying that he believes in God and he tries to pray to God every night before he passes out. I think that that is good.
I think that next he is basically saying that the idea of duality was created by people who wanted to control people. The idea of duality, that is, you are either good or evil is not presented that way in the Bible. I believe and I believe that the Bible says that there are undoubtedly good things in this life and bad things. Evil is very real just as good is real. However the Bible does not present the idea in that simple of terms and cannot in truth be reduced to that in a 4 minute video of Tupac talking.
The next thing he says is that, if God wrote the Bible then he is sure that there should be a revised copy by now becuase things have changed.
This idea and your faith in it is one of the fundamental principles in the Bible. It is the idea of Absolute Truth, that is, there is nothing new under the sun. God's laws do not change, yes paradigms evolve but the underlying truth does not change. This idea is very very interesting and you will find that people who do not place their faith into the word of Jesus Christ have a tendency to believe that morality can evolve and truth can change and be moulded into the truth that a human being (who will die if they get shot enough times like Tupac found out) wants. We are subject to God's laws and not the other way around.
To be honest, the next part where he is talking about the Bible telling us that certain people were special because certain things happened to them, I don't know exactly what he is talking about. It sounds like, when he is talking about being crucified by the media and having thorns on that he is saying that the same type of bad things that happened to Jesus happened to him. He goes on to say that he doesn't think that he is Jesus but there are elements of his life that resemble Jesus' life. He keeps talking and I agree with a lot of what he is saying in this part. I think that while we are on Earth God gives us a chance to see the things that lead towards life and the things that lead towards death and decide what we believe is good and bad.
So yes, he says, "I believe in my heart that what I am doing is good so I believe I'm going to heaven." Thats great, if a person sincerely believes that, then that is great. However, next he says: And all that other shit is to control you. If the churches took half the money that they was making and gave it back to the community we'd be alright.
This is where he goes wrong, first of all, you can't just say "all that other shit is there to control you" and then not say specifically what that other shit IS. If you just make a statement like that without qualifying it then you are making an ambigous assertion fallacy. Its like if I said "Tupac did all kinds of evil shit so he's going to hell"..... if thats all I said then would that be enough to sway somebody that it is true? No, it wouldn't it would just be me making an ambigous assertion. Logically this is not how you construct an argument.
He also says "if the churches took half the money they were making and gave it back to the community, we'd be alright" again, this is ambigous and very fallacious. Which churches? How much money? who and what is "the community"? And what constitutes us being "alright"? We live in an extremely wealthy civilization compared to previous civilizations who lived in tribes and hunted and gathered food. Money doesn't make us "alright". Money cannot get a person salvation. Tupac should know this. Part of this area of the conversation is subjective, meaning I can't prove that I am right and he is wrong however if you think about it for yourself; what is your oppinion? If a person is just given money without having to earn the money, is the person better off? Is a person better off for temporarily not having to live in reality? When the free money dries up, then what do they do? They suffer, right?
at about 2 minutes in, he starts getting really emotional and raising his voice. He has already diverged from making a logical argument in many ways and now he is arguing by vehemence.
being loud. Trial lawyers are taught this rule:
If you have the facts, pound on the facts.
If you have the law, pound on the law.
If you don't have either (facts or logic in Tupac's case), pound on the table.
logic is another word for Law and Logic is absolute, absolute truth, doesn't change, it doesn't change because you want it to change or because you are like Tupac and seem to think you are messianic. SEEM to think is the key word because he didn't completely finish that thought but from what he did say yes I agree with him all of us do seem to have to go through a life that has similiarities to Jesus' life.
Now as he is mad and yelling talking about Gold Ceilings in the church, I personally agree with him on the topic that I think he is addressing. God doesn't need Gold Ceilings, God doesn't need flash and bling, etc. However I also do not see a lot wrong with it. Some of the beautiful churches show what mankind can achieve if we work together, some of them are inspiring. It is difficult to judge whether money would be better spent building a beautiful Church in order to teach the law in or put into a bank account where it could be rationed out to pay for food for people who do not and will not pay for their own food. Let us not forget that the people who build the churches work in the process and in the process they receive a paycheck which they use to buy food. There are some really interesting movies that deal with this topic, the movie Andrei Rublev is one of them and it is long and sometimes boring but I recommend it. It was about an artist who painted church ceilings. In the movie a young boy is taught how to make bells. The boys father is the ultimate bell maker and the only person that has a certain kind of knowledge about bell casting. When his father dies, the only person that has the knowledge that the father had, is his young son and he is called upon to build a bell for the nation. After a lot of struggle and stress that the bell will not ring and be a failure of effort, the bell does end up ringing and it was profound, bells that don't exist do not ring. This is a difficult topic to discuss but I think that Tupac is over simplifying it and also his message is getting lost in the loud, emotional vehemence.
He goes on to say, "why does God need that to talk to me why can't he talk to me where I am..." I would argue that, he is, always talking to you right there where you are. Whoever is reading this right now is probably infront of a computer, wherever they are and guess what, you are in Church right now. You are reading my words, I am a believer in Christ, Church is with you right now. But even if you weren't reading this, God would still be speaking to you, you just have to open your eyes and ears in order to receive his word.
Now he is saying, thats the wrong religion, (assuming he is either talking about Christianity or certain corrupt people who claim to be Christians and what it is that they speak and teach) But, he says, "it doesn't make sense that God put us in the Ghetto, that means he wants us to work hard to get up out of here."
Get up out of there and go where??? They got food to eat in the Ghetto right? They've got clothes, they've got a roof, get up out of there and go where? ???? to the Gold Ceiling buildings??? Maybe he is talking about Heaven, ironically Heaven is described as a beautiful place with lots of Gold and marble floors and light everywhere, everything radiating light. Churches are built often times as certain mens artistic visions of what they think that heaven would look like.
Now he's saying "it makes sense that if you are good in your heart then you are close to God but if you are bad in your heart then you are close to the devil".. at this point it seems like he is contradicting his earlier statement about how the idea of duality was created by man to control other men. But there is also something else fascinating here, THe Bible, I believe and I would like some input on this from other people, but I believe that the Bible says that men are not either Good or Evil in their hearts. It is saying that we were created with Sin in us and we live in a world with sin in it. Nobody knows what is in our heart except for God. We have to put our faith into the word of Christ which is actually "the law", so that we can be FORGIVen for our sins or, who we are. Now if somebody was good in their heart then what would they need to be forgiven for? It is because nobody is good in their heart that they need Jesus, they need the son of God who atoned for us. Basically, the reason Jesus had to die for our sins was so that we could be forgiven and go to be with the Lord. Jesus is God in flesh (John 1:1,14; Col. 2:9) and only God can satisfy the Law requirements of a perfect life and perfect sacrifice that cleanses us of our sins.
All people have sinned against God. But, God is infinitely holy and righteous. He must punish the sinner, the Law- breaker. If He didn't, then His law is not Law for there is no law that is a law without a punishment. The punishment for breaking the Law is death, separation from God. Therefore, we sinners need a way to escape the righteous judgment of God. Since we are stained by sin and cannot keep the Law of God, then the only one who could do what we cannot is God Himself. That is why Jesus is God in flesh. He is both divine and human. He was made under the Law (Gal. 4:4) and He fulfilled it perfectly. Therefore, His sacrifice to God the Father on our behalf is of infinite value and is sufficient to cleanse all people from their sins and undo the offense to God.
Now, yelling, he is saying "all that other spooky shit, don't make sense". again, ambigous assertion, what spooky shit?
He does finish with the begginings of an interesting premise that I have already spoken about, the people in prison that he was with claimed that they were God and he said yeah if you are God then pop the gate and get us out of here, and they couldn't do it. I think that maybe Tupac was in a stage of his personal spiritual evolution. Who knows where he ended with it. I hope he is with the Father because there were things about him that were good.
