Amujale:
The Christian Bible has a systematic bias to so-called Cripple.

African ethical and moral standards teaches us that these awewome individuals are to be elevated, similar to the culture of celebrity.

And as such, the Christian bible peddles an unAfrican system of bias.

The individuals that the Christian Bible teaches that we should be calling crippled, arent crippled are they?

That is a derogatory term that is best confined to archaic history.

The people the Christian Bible refers to as Cripple, are infact, awesome, powerful and adorable human beings that most of us wouldnt last a minute walking in their shoes.

If you think Education can influence religion, you must be very childish.

Adeboye is a professor of maths. .

Apostle Paul was one of the most learned, and eminent persons . .

Most of the greatest men of God in Nigeria like Olukoya, Kumuyi etc had 1st class degrees and PHDs. .

God has no second or new testament... He got it right the first time.. It was the Christian /Romans who added the so called new testament at the back of the Jewish tanakh as an insult against the God on high.. To mock the creator of all..

@at the quote in bold.

I actually created a thread earlier today about bible contradictions. See https://www.nairaland.com/5676118/top-10-bible-contradictions#86485627

You need to see how stupid and irrational Christianity has made people.

The rule of thumb is that no spiritual system originated in Europe. This's why they misunderstood spirituality as religion and has used it to achieve pecuniary gains, which wasn't the original purpose.

@the quote in bold.

Of course, everything originated from the Africans in Ethiopia. Including the Greek gods (Zeus) were imitations of African gods that they adopted during their sojourn in Africa. They merely fashioned it in their own way.

Anybody interested should see the two below documentaries on how all religions originated from Africa. Brother James Small specifically talked about the Ethiopian part.

The Kingdom of Aksum

During the same period that the Roman Empire rose and fell, the influential Kingdom of Aksum held sway over parts of what are now Eritrea and northern Ethiopia. Surprisingly little is known about Aksum’s origins, but by the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D. it was a trading juggernaut whose gold and ivory made it a vital link between ancient Europe and the Far East. The kingdom had a written script known as Ge’ez, ne of the first to emerge in Africa, and it developed a distinctive architectural style that involved the building of massive stone obelisks, some of which stood over 100 feet tall. In the fourth century, Aksum became one of the first empires in the world to adopt Christianity, which led to a political and military alliance with the Byzantines. The empire later went into decline sometime around the 7th or 8th century, but its religious legacy still exists today in the form of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church

African History is so deep that only Africans can tell their story, let alone Black Peoples' History (only a handful possess the knowledge of the history of Black People.

fieryy:
I agree with you. African history is our responsibility. It's our story to tell and for too long we've let it be told by others. Colonization has made us see African religions, cultures and traditions as evil, our languages as sth inferior, our skin and hair as not beautiful enough. That needs to change.

However, as for nurturing the spirituality, I honestly couldn't care less, as I'm an atheist.
But I think it needs to be spoken about with respect and in a positive way, especially by Africans.

After the end of slavery, even though the chains were removed from our legs but blacks were mentally dead. People still thought as slaves until Garvey arrived the scene and began to form a conscious community for our mental liberation.

Before Garvey, there were no Afro-conscious star or communities to liberate black people mentally. There was nobody to look up as a role model. It was Garvey that first began organizing talks/lectures and he inspired many people, such as Martin Luther king, Kwame Nkrumah, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Bob Marley, etc. Even Malcolm X is a student of Garvey.

Garvey is Christ- the real Christ!.

We take too many things for granted in Africa. Come to think of it, I am almost certain they don't have an insurance policy and they decide to jeopardize their wellbeing in this manner.

Bro, it's actually Omowale.

The name he was bestowed with when he visited Nigeria.

He later called this name his most treasured honour in his autobiography.

If you're asking who is more influential in the world, then its certainly Jesus or Muhammad. But if you're asking who is more influential to me personally, he's Garvey...

We are not in agreement that Jesus is fictitious but I think we are in agreement that Paul and Peter lived. If Peter lived, do you agree that he was an actual disciple of Jesus? Did you believe that Saul (Paul) was commissioned under the Jewish agency to go after the disciples in dispersion? Jesus lived and started a movement which later became christainity, this is true and real.

Amujale:
Even if we are to assume that Peter and Paul were real, eventhough we know that they arent, how does that prove the authencity of either the Jesus character or the Jesus image.
