You are criticising christian missionaries, yet you are using their vaccinations and the western education they brought to you.

felixomor:

Even before Europeans dreamt of christianity blacks were already taking the scriptures to Africa to share.

Folks of shallow history.

Lucario007:


Oh yes, because the Christian missionaries brought education and vaccines, it is perfectly acceptable to have allowed them to enslave, rape and abuse the blacks as of the time, and it is perfectly justified that we allow them twist scriptures into demeaning our humanity and making us believe that we are less than humans.

Lucario007:

This is the most blatant lie I have heard all week. Where did you even get the impetus to make such a declaration? Do you have ANY proof of this to speak of or are you just someone who tries to sound enlightened?

felixomor:

Typical black man blame attitude
Nobody enslaved you
It was your ancestors that kidnapped themselves and sold each other into slavery.
But wait by now, I thought you should have abandoned western education, after all Slavery was eradicated hundreds of years back.

Keep blaming white man for your problems.




You clearly are ignorant that Egyptians and Ethiopians were among the first set of people to start spreading Christianity to Africa long before even Europe dreamt of it.
The Ethiopian bible is one of the most accurate and complete versions of the bible till date.

Please go and study abeg.
Don't write from shallow history.

Lucario007:


Alright, I am not someone above admitting ignorance. I will admit that I was unaware of that fact about the Egyptians and Ethiopians, and I thank you for enlightening me.

However, from what I gathered, the Ethiopians and the Egyptians did not commit the sheer level of slavery and violent acts against humanity that the Whites did.

And what you saying about our ancestors kidnapping themselves and selling each other into slavery, is contradictory with saying no one enslaved us. Africa was enslaved, countless books and depictions will tell you that this happened, we were enslaved by the White race, and you cannot dispute this fact.

Ethiopian here

• Horn of Africans(Ethiopians, Eritreans, Somalians and Djiboutians) had enslaved their own and other Africans in many millions for themselves and sold some of them to Middle East and other parts of the world with collaborating with Arabs and Ottoman Turks.

• In this region back then, slaves were classified into 2(red slaves and black slaves). Red slaves were light skinned or dark skinned with Caucasian features and they were mostly from:-
- Abyssinia
- Oromos
- Gurages
- Eritreans and
- Adals(Somalians, Afars, Hararis and Djiboutians)

• The black slaves were mostly from other African countries and southern Ethiopia and they were dark skinned Negros.

• The magnitude of slave trade in East Africa wasn't larger than West Africa. Atse Tewodros II , Yohannes IV and Menelik II had tried their best to abolish slaverly, but it was only abolished officially in 1920s during Atse Haile Selassie I regin. Even if it was abolished, some Ethiopians and Haile Selassie himself had owned slaves in many thousands.

West Africans that were sold during Atlantic slave trade were mostly sold by collaboration between themselves(tribe rulers) and Europeans. The west Africans themselves captured Africans from other tribes or themselves and sold them to Europeans at the costal areas. If you blame, blame mostly your people than Europeans.

At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow. Jesus and the missionaries saved Africa from wickedness and sin yesterday and forever. Let the saviour into your heart and he will save you from all our family curses and blood curses.

Egyptians and Ethiopians?? wow.. i never knew.. please can you help me with links? I'd love to read about it

Wilgrea7:


wow... good points to note... however.. the atrocities committed by the Europeans wasn't what Jesus stood for or came for.. they spread wickedness in his name.. in his translated name.. they used the name of a loving teacher and guide to wreak havoc.. i personally think we should shun the characters of the Europeans... the evil deeds should be shunned.. not the name.. because any name could have been used there . thanks

DOCTUFOS: DOCTUFOS:
Lishius 16: 15-16
15. And cuenca said, if this Krista whom they profess is more of a tool of deception than of truth, why then did he have to die at all?
16. For the deception in the name of this supposed son of god is already more than the truth.

Hati13:

Not intended to me, but let me tell about Ethiopia.

• Christianity was still present in Axum Kingdom(Eritrea and northern and central Ethiopia) in the 1st century AD, but the Axumites courts weren't Christian that time.

• In mid 4th century, Axumite King Ezana was converted to Christianity by Syrian Christian called "Fremnatos". The official religion of Axum became Christianity and because of this, Ethiopia is the 2nd nation in the world to accept Christianity after Armenia.

• Fremnatos subsequently was appointed by Alexandrian Patriarch "Atenarewos" to be the 1st bishop of Axum.

• at it's peak, Axum Kingdom was among the 4 powerful states alongside East Roman, Persian and China.

• Ethiopia is a Greek word to refer the people south of Ancient Egypt which are Nubians. Ethiopia means "burnt face or black".

• After Axumite King Ezana conquered Mereo(capital city of Nubians), he adopted the name Ethiopia from them and from that time on Ethiopia started only to refer Axumites, Zagwes, Abyssinians and present day Ethiopia itself.

• Soon Christianity started to be spread to central and southern Ethiopia as time goes.

• Ethiopia Orthodox Christianity is unique than other Orthodox Christianity. It's fully called The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.

• Ethiopia has it's own Alphabet, which is now the only native African Alphabet. Most of our Christianity history and general history had been written. There are many Christianity paintings, architecture achievements in churches and monasteries, Christianity poems, Christianity musics and plays that date back to 6th century AD.

• I'm not a believer, but if you want to know Christianity, you should definitely read Ethiopia Christianity.

I've just done that, but those things are not written in the bible, or are they?

However, there is no doctrine brought to the world without later having different versions which is seen as corruption of the original. Ask Mohammed, his doctrine has different versions now, corrupted. A DOCTUFOS passage address this issue.

Wilgrea7:


what makes you feel the bible has EVERYTHING attributed to Jesus? have you seen sarrasin's thread on the historical Jesus?

OtemAtum:
Give me the link to his thread and the link to the historical website he got his information from.

I like your nature. When we have the opportunity to learn, we shd learn without pride.

Christianity has done no one harm. If only we can adhere to its dictates, the world will be the safest place to live.
