Re: Is There Any Black Saint? by Rich4god(m): 7:22am On Feb 09, 2012
In christianity, everyone is a saint, but in the catholic church there are some christians that the entire church honours with the title saint due to their dedication/selfless service to the church and people. With respect to your question, St Charles Lwanga is an African saint, from Uganda to be precise. And there are host of others.

However not specifically Nigerian, but there were black Christian saints in Egypt, and Ethiopia as well. Just to let you know, the people in this part of Africa were Christian countries before most of Europe.

One person mentioned saint Maurice which is correct, just google his name and you will see his statue, another is moses the black, he was a black coptic from Egypt, and later canonized to sainthood

75% of all saints are either Italian, Irish, Spanish or French.

Less than 1% of saints are black

so if you want to go to heaven you better be white and european if not it will be easier for the camel to pass through the eye of the needle than for you to enter the communion of saints

It depends on what Christian sect you follow, if you are a Orthodox Christian from Ethiopia or Eritrean, therefore there will be many saints from that region. Please African read about early Christianity in the rest of the continent, it seems like many are ignorant in this arena.

A Saint is anyone that believes in Jesus Christ and follows him?
Race ethnicity does not even play a part in the bible, in fact we are all one, it would not make any difference If you where blue or pink or tartan it is

the name of Jesus and what he did for us that makes you a saint? 
And I am descendent of Abraham myself you asked was I Nigerian no is the answer but Abraham is a Semite which not black the dark races are decedents from ham in the bible

in life every one is equal but some are more equal than others.
it might be the same in the kingdom race.
Re: Is There Any Black Saint? by Rossikk(m): 11:23pm On Feb 14, 2012
^^^No, it is NOT the same in the 'kingdom race'. In the spirit world where we all return, there is no 'race', and there is no 'black and white'. All souls are equal and loved.

there are no white saints. all white saints are ordained by man. the lords saints, all 144,000 of them are black. deuteronomy 7 vs 6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

WHEN THE SAINTS WERE BEING CHOSEN, ONLY BLACK PEOPLE EXISTED ON EARTH. OTHER RACES APPEARED MUCH MUCH LATER AFTER THE FLOOD AND THEY COULDNT BE SAINTS BECAUSE THEY ONLY GOT WRITTEN INTO THE LAW AFTER CHRIST DIED. BY THEN ALL THE SAINTS HAD BEEN SEALED.
