Why Did It Take 2,000 Years For Jesus' Story To Reach West Africa? by Napata77: 12:04am On Feb 16, 2023
The Jesus story supposedly occurred 2,000 years ago.

This 'Son of God' came to Earth, preached a new morality for human salvation, performed all sorts of miracles including raising the dead, walking atop a sea, and waking up from the dead himself after being executed. And then ascending up to 'heaven' at a dinner table before friends and onlookers.

So the question is, how come this mighty, pivotal ''Son of God'' bearing the key to human salvation, came to Earth, lived in the so-called middle east, just near north Africa here, yet it was only after 2,000 years that the news of his existence arrived our shores in West Africa?

How far is the middle east, that it should take THE SON OF GOD HIMSELF over 2,000 years PLUS for his message to reach West Africa?

There was caravan trade between West Africa and the middle east. They knew we existed. Certainly GOD knew.

So God just ignored us, and allowed white people and arabs to be enjoying his message of salvation for a whole 2,000 years, and only after those 2,000 years when British thieves decided they wanted to vandalise and loot our land and massacre/enslave us, did He remember us, and introduce us to his 'only son' and his life-saving 'gospel', through them?

It seems really weird.

Perhaps it is a sign the entire Jesus story is a stupid concocted fabrication, since the Creator could never have been so scandalously uncaring and negligent?

1. The same son of God also informed you from about 2000 years ago that the teaching/Salvation He brought belonged only to the Lost sheep of Israel --- not to every human out there. undecided

2. The news wasn't maybe meant for West Africa at the time. He sent His followers to teach His Gospel to the Lost sheep of Israel, so if during that time, there were none of them in West Africa, there would have been no reason for them to have headed in that direction at the timeundecided

3. Enjoying what exactly? They had access to it doesn't mean they were enjoying it as instead history has it that they steeped themselves rather in false doctrines and traditions, religion. To this day, the majority of the world have not in fact heard the Gospel Truth and Law of God. The counterfeit does not and cannot take the place of Truth. undecided

4. Or it could be indication that men do not and cannot control the dissemination of God's Truth. undecided

He never ''informed me'' or ''us'' of anything 2000 years ago.

2. The news wasn't maybe meant for West Africa at the time. He sent His followers to teach His Gospel to the Lost sheep of Israel, so if during that time, there were none of them in West Africa, there would have been no reason for them to have headed in that direction at the time.

So what has changed? Why are we now practicing a religion not meant for us?

3. Enjoying what exactly?

The opportunity to be 'saved'. Think how many millions or even billions of Africans steeped in 'barbarism' could have been 'saved' had the news come earlier, rather than 2000 years later.

4. Or it could be indication that men do not and cannot control the dissemination of God's Truth. undecided

It's not about men controlling anything. It's about GOD or 'JESUS' not using their power to ensure the news reached a couple miles down the road in West Africa. As in, ''why wait 2,000 years when you can do it now, oh Lord?''

1. His message that you read today is from about 2,000 years ago.. undecided

2. It may not be meant for you does not mean it is not meant for the man next to you so. Like I said, He said it is for those who are of the blood of Jacob and over the period of 2 millenia, the chances are high there there are many right there in your community who are of that blood. undecided

3. You people never care to ask what it is He said He came to save men from. He came to save men from the curse placed on them by God by His Old Law of Moses when He scattered them to all the ends of the world for their refusal to obey Him. So, if you are not of the blood or Jacob, the salvation He offers cannot apply to you, as He made clear. undecided

4. God controls, not men, and for that reason, it flows as He decrees, not as you expect it to. undecided

It's not the story that the true God wants you to hear but learn how to fit in to God's plan for the perfect system of things to come by imitating Jesus' thoughts, words and actions! John 3:16
Jesus' life and ministry was recorded and his first century Jewish disciples started the movement which was short-lived due to Satan's agents that mixed up with them after Jesus' ascension to heaven. Matthew 13:25 compare to 1John 2:18
So true Christianity went into spiritual slavery after a century that's why Jesus wondered if he could find Christianity the same way he commissioned it when he returns to see how the movement will fair! Luke 18:8
It was the 20th century that Jesus returned in the year 1914 only to find out that none of all the religions claiming Christians knows the truth about him. He began inspecting the churches of Christendom and found a group of researchers called International Bible Students Association (IBSA) this group was willing to make amendments and quit all the dogmas they believed so just as he did with the Jews back in the first century Jesus began correcting them until they were good to go for the endtime gathering of both the Holy ones and subjects of God's Kingdom it was in the year 1919 that they began preaching and teaching from house to house and door to door as Jesus commissioned Christianity back in the first century! Matthew 10:11-13
Year 2019 marked a century that Jehovah's Witnesses have been preaching zealously and industriously teaching in all their neighbourhood throughout the earth.
When God was satisfied with their movement He began calling them by another group name in the year 1931 {Isaiah 65:15} to differentiate between His true worshipers speaking with their neighbours about God and His name unlike the rest who are still blinded with false religious ideas! Malachi 3:16-18

May you have PEACE! smiley

Just the same way it took the children of Israel 40 years to get to the promise land, a mere 40 day's journey.

Your question really is, how come it took ~2000 years for the words written in books to arrive in West Africa, and considering writing started in Egypt. Then you'd need to wonder why we in West Africa came to (non-Arabic) texts and books so late.

But this would only make sense if you forget about gods and consider Jesus is another word for the physical written text he rode in on. For while it is said that "only through Christ", learning really is what saves one on this earth, and reading is one of the effective ways to learn.

God was protecting us from the BShit....

He knows the story never happened, and was made up..

Now since we know about it..our society has become worse...God has deserted us...


We have to go back to our roots..

You are not correct: he walked on the streets of Egypt. 2000 years ago most of us in middle and southern Africa were not here. People migrated down from north Africa. The early northern Africa has produced three Popes.

Check your facts very well.

Many are mad and browsing!

Common submarine that was made since 1620, till today you still do not have one.

If you were normal you would have known that you only get when you are given.

So just say you are just writing down your name in the book of death since you already know that your life is finished.
