THE OFTEN OVERLOOKED HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY IN AFRICA

Christianity's roots in Africa run deep, long before European colonization. From Ethiopia and Egypt to Nubia and North Africa, African theologians like Augustine and Tertullian shaped the faith. Let’s break the myth that Christianity is a "white man's religion" and celebrate the resilience and rich history of African Christian communities. #AfricanChristianity #urbanapologetics

All 3 Abrahamic faiths came to europe from the outside. Christianity and Judaism are African religions. The oldest forms of both religions are still practiced mainly in East Africa but also Some parts of west Africa as well (ex: Nigerian Judaism). Also look up videos of Kwame Ture (aka Stockley Carmichael) about religion

The areas of Africa you mentioned are a world away from the world of West and Central Africa, which is where the vast majority of African Americans come from on the continent. And the blatant evidence that Christianity didnt (and couldnt) spread to those places from the north and east african places you mentioned... is that it was a whole 1200 years later, in the 1400s when West and Central Africans heard of Christianity FROM EUROPEANS. So our most direct ancestors did indeed hear about and receive christianity from Euros. One misconception tho is that it was physically forced. Not quite. It was equated to being civilized and humanness. So in order to not be deemed "savage" and or "primitive" African slaves in America adopted Christianity to potentially and hopefully be seen as human rather than savage property.

Peace, This is a well thought out comment. Just curious, where does your certainty of our direct ancestors' origins come from?

[@oguun_garvey6531]

@hustleharder24 The transatlantic slave trade. The languages of those that came enslaved. Our genetic makeup/dna I s largely west and central African as well

Hmmm....... Let's see here. Moses's wife Philip and the Ethiopian the man who carried the cross for Christ. Just sayin. God bless you Bro. Berean.

Most of Christianity's history was developed in Europe. The New Testament was written entirely in Greek. Europe is integral to Christianity and ignoring that it isn't helpful. I think people need to get over race. Some ideas are just universal. It doesn't matter who came up with it!

With all of that being said, I'm glad that you're interested in things such as this as it seems that talking about The Bible or God isn't too popular these days, HOWEVER, there ARE quite a few details within this video that are incorrect or not entirely accurate. There are a LOT of things that Bible believers still have to learn when it comes to The Bible. Only those who have ears to hear (willing ears) will receive the truth.

@@kalon511 what was incorrect or not entirely accurate in this video?

[@kalon511]

​@The.Noble.Berean I'm glad you asked, my brotha. First and foremost, for future reference, it's not a good idea to wear a hat when you're doing videos such as these. By doing so, you not ONLY disrespect The Messiah, but you ALSO disrespect The Most High. Only WOMEN are to have their head covered in such instances. You didn't know, so I don't think neither The Messiah nor The Most High will hold it against you. {1 Corinthians 11:1-16} Secondly, you gave credit to the wrong people. Firstly, if you want to be AUTHENTIC about all of this.... it's incorrect to refer to yourself as a "Christian" - or to this "religion" as "Christianity" as the term "Christian" actually came from the Ancient Greeks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ • en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christos • {Acts 11:26} New English Translation [26] and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught a significant number of people. Now it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians. -----------------------------------‐---------------------------------------- The TRUE "religion" is Hebrew, not "Christianity". You started off with the Ethiopian Church/Christians which you'll understand later that the Ethiopians most likely wanted to learn about it because they were trying to find out what was so special about the group of people Ancient Hebrew was (initially) meant for. GOD is actually The One who Created the so-called Hebrew "religion" within the first seven days of Creation. What does The Bible say God did on the seventh day? It said that God rested. It ALSO says that God "Blessed" that day and made it "Holy". Right then and there God Created "The Holy Sabbath". -----------------‐---------------------------------------------------- • {Genesis 2:1-3} New English Translation [1] The heavens and the earth were completed with everything that was in them. [2] By the seventh day God finished the work that he had been doing, and he ceased on the seventh day all the work that he had been doing. [3] God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it he ceased all the work that he had been doing in creation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ • What is the real meaning of Sabbath? ~ to rest The Jewish Sabbath (from Hebrew shavat, “to rest”) is observed throughout the year on the seventh day of the week-Saturday. According to biblical tradition, it commemorates the original seventh day on which God rested after completing the creation. ----------------------------------------------------------------- This is one of the MAIN reasons why Abram/Abraham was known as a "Hebrew" long before Moses was even BORN. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- {Genesis 14:13} New English Translation [13] A fugitive came and told Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol and Aner. (All these were allied by treaty with Abram.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Prior to getting the so-called "Christian Bible" - which actually came from Hebrew scrolls, everyone (on Earth) was expected to live according to ORAL Hebrew traditions. The Most High decided to give us The Bible in written form so that we'd have firsthand information that we'd be able to refer back to rather than having to rely on our memories. I can't find the exact scripture I want right now, but if I'm not mistaken, The Bible says that God will ALSO place the words of The Bible in our hearts once the TRUE Israelites are restored back to Israel. THAT means we'll not ONLY have The Bible in WRITTEN form, we're also going to have it implanted in our hearts just in case we don't have The Bible at our fingertips for whatever reason. IF, by chance, you were to take a DNA ancestry test, chances are... I can tell you who you ARE "Biblically". By that, I mean that I could tell you which Biblical Tribe you're a descendant of. Backtracking to the Ethiopians a bit, SOME of the people IN Ethiopia are actually descendants of the people who were our slave masters during the time The Israelites were in Ancient Egypt. You can verify this because some of them such as the Afar Tribe have held onto their ancient culture/customs. You can compare things such as their hairstyles by doing a Google search for "Ancient Egyptian Hairstyles" and see how they match up even til this day. There's so much MORE information that I'd like to share, but I'll cut it short (for now). I hope this information helps you in your journey to find out more. Shalom to you and your family 🕎
