you see what's called brainwashing! You only believe yours is the right while others is wrong and this is the reason the world is never in peace! Can you prove yours is the right? Had it been our forefathers were not colonized or convinced by the Christians; let's say Asian countries like China, India or Japan, etc, was learned and developed as early as the British and pertake in colonial and slave trade same period with Europeans and it happened that either of the mentioned Asian countries was fast enough to reach us before the British and infected us with their religion such as Budaism , what religion do you think we will be into right now? If it happened you were borned a northerner and a Muslim by religion will you ever agree and accept that the Christianity is the way? And vice versa is the case. Why is most northerners Muslims and most southerners Christians? If you could answer these questions truthfully and rightfully without sentiment you are close to unveiling the truth. Let's stop being blind! Let's stop being brainwashed!

The major pursuit of the ancient Egyptians was happiness and peace of mind before God. They didn’t believe in death as the final bus-stop of life, so their major worry was how to please the Gods so that they will keep on living after death. They believed they’ll meet God and be judged after death.

Eventually, they developed COMMADMENTS that should guide citizens to find peace with themselves and God. The commandments reads as below:-

(1). I have not committed sin.
(2). I have not committed robbery with violence.
(3). I have not stolen.
(4). I have not slain men and women.
(5). I have not stolen grain.
(6). I have not purloined offerings.
(7). I have not stolen the property of the gods.
(. I have not uttered lies.
(9). I have not carried away food.
(10). I have not uttered curses.
(11). I have not committed adultery.
(12). I have made none to weep.
(13). I have not eaten the heart [i.e., I have not grieved uselessly, or felt remorse].
(14). I have not attacked any man.
(15). I am not a man of deceit.
(16). I have not stolen cultivated land.
(17). I have not been an eavesdropper.
(18). I have slandered [no man].
(19). I have not been angry without just cause.
(20). I have not debauched the wife of any man.
(21). I have not debauched the wife of [any] man. (repeats the previous affirmation but addressed to a different god).
(22). I have not polluted myself.
(23). I have terrorized none.
(24). I have not transgressed [the Law].
(25). I have not been wroth.
(26). I have not shut my ears to the words of truth.
(27). I have not blasphemed.
(28). I am not a man of violence.
(29). I am not a stirrer up of strife (or a disturber of the peace).
(30). I have not acted (or judged) with undue haste.
(31). I have not pried into matters.
(32). I have not multiplied my words in speaking.
(33). I have wronged none, I have done no evil.
(34). I have not worked witchcraft against the King (or blasphemed against the King).
(35). I have never stopped [the flow of] water.
(36). I have never raised my voice (spoken arrogantly, or in anger).
(37). I have not cursed (or blasphemed) God.
(38). I have not acted with evil rage.
(39). I have not stolen the bread of the gods.
(40). I have not carried away the khenfu cakes from the spirits of the dead.
(41). I have not snatched away the bread of the child, nor treated with contempt the god of my city.
(42). I have not slain the cattle belonging to the god

People were supposed to constantly recite the commandments at all time, even when walking on the street. People were required to cultivate the commandments in their minds. This way, they will stay away from evil and evil influences.

Note: By this time, we are talking about 1352 BC. No Judaism yet. No Christianity yet. No Islam yet.

However, by this time, Moses was a young man born along the river Nile and living in Africa under a pharaoh, and he also learned these commandments. Moses was by this time developing his theosophy and his view of God. According to your bible at Acts 7:22 ''Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.''

As societies got more civilized, more people learned from the preist-kings and were able to mediate with the Gods and man as well. Soon anybody could possess this piece of knowledge, which I'll like to call spirituality at this moment.

By 5,000 BC (before Jesus was born), Africans have developed very deep spirituality, not religion. Spirituality was and is still the best way to associate with God. As a matter of fact, in the 1800's, a British scholar, Wallis Budge, after translating ancient Egyptian documents, concluded that ''sufficient is now known of the Egyptian religion to prove, with certainty, that the Egyptians possessed, some six thousand years ago, a religion and a system of morality which, when stripped of all corrupt accretions, stand second to none among those which have been developed by the greatest nations of the world.''

In his book, the book of the dead, Wallace Budge, began by saying ''this book is intended to place before the reader in a handy form an account of the principal ideas and beliefs held by the ancient Egyptians concerning the resurrection and the future life, which is derived wholly from native religious works. The literature of Egypt which deals with these subjects is large and, as was to be expected, the product of different periods which, taken together, cover several thousands of years; and it is exceedingly difficult at times to reconcile the statements and beliefs of a writer of one period with those of a writer of another.''

Written on a wall in the the bas-relief at Philae, in Egypt, below are pieces of inscriptions showing how the ancient Egyptians saw God:

"God is a spirit, a hidden spirit, the spirit of spirits, the great spirit of the Egyptians, the divine spirit.

"God is from the beginning and He hath been from the beginning; He hath existed from of old and was when nothing else had being. He existed when nothing else existed, and what existeth He created after He had come into being. He is the father of beginnings.

"God is the eternal One, He is eternal and infinite; and endureth for ever and aye; He hath endured for countless ages, and He shall endure to all eternity.

"God is the hidden Being, and no man hath known His form. No man hath been able to seek out His likeness; He is hidden from gods and men, and He is a mystery unto His creatures.

"No man knoweth how to know Him. His name remaineth hidden; His name is a mystery unto His children. His names are innumerable, they are manifold and none knoweth their number.

"God is truth, and He liveth by truth, and He feedeth thereon. He is the King of truth, He resteth upon truth, He fashioneth truth, and He executeth truth throughout all the world.

"God is life, and through Him only man liveth. He giveth life to man, and He breatheth the breath of life into his nostrils.

"God is father and mother, the father of fathers, and the mother of mothers. He begetteth, but was never begotten; He produceth, but was never produced, He begat Himself and produced Himself. He createth, but was never created; He is the maker of His own form, and the fashioner of His own body.

"God Himself is existence, He liveth in all things, and liveth upon all things. He endureth without increase or diminution, He multiplieth Himself millions of times, and He possesseth multitudes of forms and multitudes of members.

"God hath made the universe, and He hath created all that therein is: He is the Creator of what is in this world, of what was, of what is, and of what shall be. He is the Creator of the world, and it was He Who fashioned it with His hands before there was any beginning; and He stablished it with that which went forth from Him. He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth; the Creator of the heavens, and the earth, and the deep; the Creator of the heavens, and the earth, and the deep, and the waters, and the mountains. God hath stretched out the heavens and founded the earth. What His heart conceived came to pass straightway, and when He had spoken His word came to pass, and it shall endure for ever.

"God is the father of the gods, and the father of the father of all deities; He made His voice to sound, and the deities came into being, and the gods sprang into existence after He had spoken with His mouth. He formed mankind and fashioned the gods. He is the great Master, the primeval Potter Who turned men and gods out of His bands, and He formed men and gods upon a potter's table.

"The heavens rest upon His head, and the earth supporteth His feet; heaven hideth His spirit, the earth hideth His form, and the underworld shutteth up the mystery of Him within it. His body is like the air, heaven resteth upon His head, and the new inundation [of the Nile] containeth His form.

"God is merciful unto those who reverence Him, and He heareth him that calleth upon Him. He protecteth the weak against the strong, and He heareth the cry of him that is bound in fetters; He judgeth between the mighty and the weak. God knoweth him that knoweth Him, He rewardeth him that serveth Him, and He protecteth him that followeth Him."

Remember, this is 5,000 years before any religion called christianity or Islam. Judaism would later begin copying from this African spirituality.

MistadeRegal:


You're talking from the carnal view.
I'm talking of spiritual aspect. GOD would save whoever HE will save regardless of their family background. My parents weren't born Christians. They both had different encounter with the gods of our race. You have no idea what's going on. If you can't understand what you're staring at, how would you then understand what you can't see?

Yes Muhammad is fake

But our Lord and only savior is real, try and see

@bolded
Aren't you a special snowflake that GOD saved you? then he refused to save those that are "unsaved"? how does it feel to be one of the people GOD saved? must feel good and cozy, right? you're so special, so unique, so rare, so uncommon, so....... obviously overwhelming majority are not as "lucky" as you
This is one of the many reasons why I have long maintained despite lip service to things like selflessness and humility, religions mostly function by providing an ego trip to people that allows them to cast aside a bigger picture of reality that they're not able to make sense of, and have a nice smaller picture, with them at the center, where what really matters are those things that happen to them.

musicwriter:
At this point, I am going to diverge specifically to the God from where we got Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Torah, Bible, Koran, respectively.

Something happened later in ancient Egypt that changed everything, which in turn resulted in the invention of religion.

The preist-kings eventually lost their authority on God as societies got more civilized and smarter.

According to Dr. John G. Jackson, again, in his book; man, God, and civilization, he wrote ''this priestly rule, powerful as it was, did not go unchallenged; for even in the ancient empires the voice of the skeptic was heard.''

Even the authority of the Pharaohs on God was questioned. People simply began getting smarter. And a calamity that befell Egypt made a Moses question the authority of a Pharaoh.

In ancient Egypt, around 4,000 years ago, there was a period of chaos which lasted about 200 years. The country was invaded by Asiatic nomads. Worse was that plague and famine swept the land. The rulers and priests could do nothing for the people, and the disillusioned masses flared up into open rebellion. Dr. John G. Jackson, states that ''this uprising has been called the first revolution in the history of the world.''

Disillusioned, the hungry plague-ravaged masses, whose miseries no words or power could relieve, lost faith in kings, priests, and Gods.

The above plague was recorded in the bible, and as you can see it wasn't from God, just a natural calamity. Jehovah did not send plague to pharaoh. Such plagues still happen today, but in those days such a natural phenomenon was attributed to the anger of God as you can see in the bible at Exodus chapter 7 to chapter 11.

After the invasion of Egypt by foreigners, Moses began questioning the authority of the Pharoah as the representative of God (by that time the Pharoah was still God and representative of God on earth). Its just like when Britain, France, Portugal, Spain, invaded Africa. The same thing happened here. Our kings lost their respect because they were demystified and reduced to common people. Our charms did not work on white people, so people realized our kings were ordinary human beings like every other person. This is one of the reasons we quickly accepted the God of the European. It is natural for people to look for a ''savior'', ''redeemer'', ''messiah'' in times of trouble. Let me not get ahead of myself.

Moses was a very educated person, and it struck him after the invasion of Egypt by foreigners that pharaoh cannot be a God. The scales have fallen off his eyes. Moses believed that God cannot be a human being, therefore, he and his tribe (Jews/Israelites) which was one of many ancient African tribes under the rulership of the pharaoh, decided they cannot continue to be subject under the government of a FAILED king and failed God.

In those days, religion was still in evolution and there were thousands of belief systems to choose from. So, Moses CHANGED his belief and took the bull by the horn. He believed he had a personal relationship with the African God (Ra/Ja father of Osiris) which is an unseen God also worshiped in neighboring Mesopotamia and environs.

The only thing Moses did was that he began redefining the meaning of God, after he realized the pharaoh was not God. This was his grouse with the Pharaohs.

Of course, he would have to face the consequences of adopting a new faith. Moses would then have to deliver the Jews/Israelites out of Africa- out of the government of the pharaoh, following his adoption of a new belief (by this time no religion yet).

Important: This part is partly myth and partly history. From all the books I checked during this research, its not clear whether Moses adopted a completely new religion or modernized an existing African religion or even Moses once lived. However, the later seems more plausible. Moses's God would later be mispronounced as YAWH after Judaism invented, and YAWH would later be mispronounced as JEHOVAH after Christianity invented.

I have a strong belief in God but not through any of those men. I remember when a pastor tried to make me speak in tongues. He said just say what comes out of your mouth and the only thing on my mind was "Skiboroboskiboyebaosheybaddest"

mankand:


Are you talking about moses or thutmosis?

musicwriter:


Its not clear which Pharaoh. The bible didn't mention the name of the Pharaoh. It just said Pharaoh. However, some historians and Christian theologians have theorized the bible Moses as being anywhere from Pharaoh Thutmosis, Setti II, and others.

mankand:


Your writeup is good but talking about biblical characters invalidate the topic because apparently almost all biblical stories were plagiarised from ancient kemet along with the Mesopotámíà civilization.

In order words, Moses didn't exist, but the role moses played according to the Bible was the same role thutmosis played. Only difference is that biblical story was twisted since thutmosis was the pharaoh that chased out foreigners in ancient kemet by challenging the authority and later became a king

vaxx:
The consensus of the great majority of historians is that the both existed . however The miracles associated with each, of course, are the subject of argument.
