THE FALLACY THAT BLACK PEOPLE KNEW GOD AND CHRISTIANITY THROUGH EUROPEANS/COLONIALISTS

Africans had been involved in the creation and development of the Israelite state, as well as the birth and origin of Jesus Christ and Christianity. They participated in the development of the Christian movement in the preliminary stages, rather than colonisers who colonized Israel during the death or crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The black book or the Bible expresses it categorically that some of the prophets in the Bible originated from African descent, directly or indirectly. Many religious leaders who played the leadership and prophetic roles in the advancement or growth of Christianity

The Bible mentions many actors and leaders, or prophets, from the land of Cush, the Cushite in the Bible. The land of Cush is referred to as the land now called Sudan, and some parts of South Egypt of today. They are also related to the land of Ethiopia.

Biblical leaders and or prophets who are linked to today’s Sudan, Egypt, and or Ethiopia:

• Zephaniah 1:1 talks about the great prophet with an explicit or direct biological link with the land of Cush because he was a Cushite. This dispels the fallacy that missionaries brought God and the light to the dark continent of Africa.

• ​Numbers 12:1 clearly indicates that the wife of the great Moses was a Cushite, which is today part of Sudan, Egypt, and/or Ethiopia. Mariam and Aaron lambasted Moses. The undermining of the land of Islam is a long, sad story from the Israelis as they are doing today with Arab countries like Yemen, Palestine, Iran, ad infinitum.

• Jeremiah 28 talks about one of the elders or leaders in the Kingdom of King Zedekiah. He was honoured as a faithful and courageous leader after he saved the Prophet Jeremiah from the cistern. Prophet Jeremiah gave Ebed-Melek the kudos for his bravery and courage.

​Biblical leaders and or prophets linked to Egypt and or Yemen

• Genesis 16:1-16 talks about Abraham’s concubine (nyatsi or makwhapheni, I roll-on) from Egypt. The name of the roll-on was Hagar and the mother of Ishmael. Hagar had a direct contact with God, where she was given a holy promise that her grandchild would be the bloodline of the great nation of Israel. She was an Egyptian maid/servant who bore Abraham, and the great angel of the Lord told Hagar that the child must be called Ishaml.

• 1^st Kings: 10 and 2^nd Chronicles 9 talk about the Queen Sheba had a close relationship with King Solomon, and they had met on some occasions. She was never a prophet or the servant of the Israelites. She was regarded as a wise leader by the great Gord of Israel.

• Mathew 27:32 talks about the North-African man who was forcefully asked to carry the cross on behalf of Jesus Christ during the crucifixion period. This guy was Simon of Cyrene. Simon’s sons became the great members of the original Jesus Christ movement of Christianity. We are talking about the land that is now called Libya.

• Acts 13:1 talks about a prophet and leader at the Church of Antioch, and his surname was Niger. The Latin word for Niger means Black. ​This is a clear indication of Africans’ involvement in the early Christian crusade. Niger is the one who commissioned Paul and Barnabas on the early missionary work, an African as he was.

• Acts 13:1 talks about the pleader, and the prophet of Antioch called Lucias, who hailed from Cyrene in North Africa.

1. Acts 8 talks Apostle Phillip baptised the high court official in the Egyptian Queendom of Egypt. It talks about Philip the Apostle, and Phillip preached to him; it is written in the book of Isaiah. The high court official was coming from attending prayer sessions in Jerusalem. The man asked to be baptised by Phillip after their interaction. There is no white man, or Europeans brought the religion to Africa and cleared the darkness in the Black man’s land.

Conclusion:

The Africans were the early originators of Christianity, as the bible indicates, but the white man and his Black or African co-conspirators still believe that Black people were hedonic and barbaric before Jan Van Riebeeck arrived in South Africa. Black people are the early Christians, and the white Europeans. We are the people of God with our “Pitch-Black Afro.” We need to remember that many Black people and churches supported apartheid in South Africa. White people from Europe learned about God and Jesus Christ many years after Africa gave birth to and engineered Christianity and the survival of Christ in Ethiopia and Egypt for many years before he was 30 years old. White people used our Bible and Christianity to steal our lands and their natural resources (fauna and flora). Ooooh, My Word, they are just heartless sinners, and they will never see the Black heaven. They will rot in the white hell which they manufactured.
