to us it's from Bana-Beytu meaning children of the house. This is also Hebrew. (Bane meaning Son, Beyt meaning house).

It also Abantu meaning the people, or the Father's people. Aba meaning they/these or Father/master and ntu meaning people. Therefore referring to a special people, the people of YAH, the divine people.

It’s also from Mobutu, mba, and tutu. Mobutu meaning the world, mba meaning the people, and tutu meaning utmost. Therefore referring to the utmost people of HAY, the divinity of all time.

Just forget about browsing the internet to teach me my native dialect okay? It's annoying... And besides, I'm long past that.

It seems your native dialect depends solely on coopting and corrupting Hebrew words.

Just forget about the socalled Christian Church fathers. Christianity began as a result of the deviation of the ancient Hebrews from the laws, statutes and commandments YAH gave to our fathers Enoch, Abraham, Yisaak (Isaac), Yakubi (Jacob). These are the ancestors you should look up to, not Khemet. Moshe (Moses) our Bantu ancestor challenged and disgraced the powers of Egypt. Bantus are blood descendant of YAKUBI/JACOB. Our ancestors were once in Egypt and migrated with the Exodus, but they are not indigenous Egyptians. The indigenous Egyptians are the Bejas, Somalians and Nilotics.

The word Bantu for the language families and its speakers is an artificial term based on the reconstructed Proto-Bantu term for "people" or "humans". It was first introduced (as Bâ-ntu) by Wilhelm Bleek in 1857 or 1858, and popularised in his Comparative Grammar of 1862.[4] The name was coined to represent the word for "people" in loosely reconstructed Proto-Bantu, from the plural noun class prefix *ba- categorizing "people", and the root *ntʊ̀ - "some (entity), any" (e.g. Zulu umuntu "person", abantu "people", into "thing", izinto "things" wink

. There is no native term for the peoples who speak Bantu languages, because they are not an ethnic group. People speaking Bantu languages refer to their languages by ethnic endonyms, which did not have an indigenous concept prior to European contact for the larger ethno-linguistic phylum named by 19th century European linguists.

Christianity Etc › Re: How My Friend Found Himself In The Middle Of A Body-Parts Market In Lekki, Lagos by KnownUnknown: 5:30am On Sep 10, 2021

The market in question is Jankara Market but the human body parts have a very logical explanation instead of the nonsense the op posted.

Underneath the market is Hanger 18, which is the medical base of Lakedaemon extra terrestrials conducting human research on all 7 continents. Hanger 18 is their African base. People who disappear or are reported kidnapped are often subjects of various anatomical and psychological experiments to determine whether humans can be turned into organic drones. If they are viable, they are transported onto this asteroid made of a combination of gold, diamonds, and platinum I equal parts. They use humans to mine this asteroid because it’s cheaper and keeps the material pure from contamination. Because of the peculiar nature of the asteroid, it cannot be minded with the use of other metals.

The feeling his friend had is the result of oscillating air molecule vibrators, which are meant to disorient anyone who wanders into the zone and isn’t a viable test subject. The people who asked him what parts he wants are apparitions generated by the Lakedaemon aliens to confuse anyone who wanders into the zone.

Stop all this childish talk. Listen, Reed, I have supernatural powers. I do supernatural things --- things that defy logic and science cannot explain. Yet, not of me, but of my Father in heaven, Daddy in the sky, whom it pleased to make me his vessel. Without him, I am nothing. Isn't that the premise of the thread that you jumped into?

I’ve noticed that Christianity in materially or intellectually impoverished environments often look like mental illness. People speak to god, have supernatural powers, experience miracles etc. things that you only expect out of the mouths of mental patients.

That's why it's in quotes. Our real life may be a dream within another real life. Universe could be so weird that maybe there are multiple real lives and you just dying and waking up successively!

Or maybe you’re creating fantasies and insisting they are realities.

We could be alive in multiple dimensions.
We are 5 dimensional beings in a 3-D reality
We exist in the fourth dimension and this reality is a holograph

We are living in time dilation caused by oscillating waves of gravity. The beings caught between tides of time and gravity are what we perceive as ghosts.

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Should I Be An Atheist? by KnownUnknown: 2:45pm On Aug 30, 2021

There’s a pay wall on the article. Here’s an excerpt

If you’ve never heard of King Jeroboam II, you’re probably not alone. He’s barely mentioned in the Bible despite ruling over a big chunk of the Levant 2,800 years ago, for no less than four decades. But you’ve definitely heard of the great kings Saul, David and Solomon, even though the actual existence of their United Monarchy of Israel and Judah has long been doubted by many scholars.

Now mounting evidence from archaeological digs and biblical scholarship has led to a startling new theory, which conflates the great Hebrew kings of yore with the oft-overlooked Jeroboam II. A great United Monarchy of sorts did exist, the new theory posits. But it formed under none other than the Israelite king Jeroboam II some two centuries after the time of David and Solomon, spreading as far as today’s Syria and Jordan.

In striking contrast to the biblical narrative, it was the kingdom of Israel in the north that controlled Jerusalem and the kingdom of Judah in the south.

And why would the Bible say otherwise? Because the holy text was first compiled in Jerusalem more than a century after Jeroboam II’s reign, under the Judahite king Josiah, who was seeking justification for some expansionism of his own.

And, it was the real-life reign of Jeroboam II that offered Josiah the inspiration for the biblical story of the magnificent kingdom of David and Solomon, according to the new theory proposed by Tel Aviv University professor Israel Finkelstein, one of Israel’s top biblical archaeologists.

Finkelstein, 69, has spent much of his career trying to convince his colleagues to stop contorting the interpretation of archaeological finds to fit the biblical narrative. The Bible is not a guidebook, he argues. Archaeologists exploring ruins for the story of the ancient Hebrews should be guided by the data emerging from excavations and advanced scientific techniques.

As he tells Haaretz in an exclusive interview, Finkelstein indeed thinks there was a historical great kingdom in ancient Israel. But it wasn’t your rabbi’s United Monarchy, ruled by David and Solomon from Jerusalem, with a centralized cult at the Temple. That story was instead based on the sprawling Israelite polity that emerged much later.

As the Bible tells it, sometime in the 11th or 10th century B.C.E., the twelve Israelite tribes united under strong monarchs: Saul, David and Solomon. But the fourth royal generation, Solomon’s son, Rehoboam, was unable to hold the people together. All the tribes except Judah revolted against him, forming their own kingdom of Israel north of Jerusalem, led by a king named Jeroboam (the first of his name – not to be confused with our hero Jeroboam II).

Some archaeologists have long questioned the historicity of this account. Thanks in large part to Finkelstein’s own research, monumental ruins found across modern Israel – from Megiddo to Hazor and Gezer – once hailed as evidence of Solomon’s building prowess, have been re-dated to about a century after the fabled king was supposed to have reigned. These great ruins are now thought to be what remains of that northern kingdom of Israel that the Bible describes as a rascally renegade, but which was in reality a powerful regional force.

There is a tension between the biblical description, which makes Judah and Jerusalem the center of the Universe, and archaeology and ancient near eastern texts, which make it very clear that Israel was the big story,” Finkelstein says. “It was more prosperous and more prominent, it had a larger population and competed for hegemony over the entire Levant.”

Archaeologists from opposing camps still fiercely debate the size and power of Jerusalem in the 10th century B.C.E. but so far there is little hard evidence that the founders of the Davidic dynasty ruled over anything larger than a tiny city-state in the Judean highlands.

Finkelstein and other scholars posit that the stories of the United Monarchy originated in the late 7th century B.C.E., under the Judahite king Josiah. But why would Josiah have his scribes aggrandize the “history” of his ancestors?

There is no extra biblical evidence for Moses, none, zilch, nada, same for any type of migration from Egypt. The House of David has extra biblical evidence in the form of artefacts that were unearthed that contain the sigils and writings from that period.

Non Jewish ethnographers qualify as sources for Moses but it’s not definite. That’s why I said earlier that it’s all abductive reasoning. We can’t find enough definite information either way. Pray tell, where are these artifacts of David?

Read here. Basically the consensus of historians is none of those events happened.

I don’t see how this refutes anything I have written. It seems these authors are arguing against the accuracy of the exodus story. Like I said, it’s a fictional tale of a real event.

That there is no clear evidence for Moses doesn’t mean he didn’t exist. You mentioned the House of David but there is as much evidence for David as there is for Moses. That doesn’t mean they didn’t exist. There is no clear evidence for Jesus either but it’s not farfetched to believe there was some guy named Yeshua who might have been a rabbi with a following in Galilee.

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Should I Be An Atheist? by KnownUnknown: 12:21pm On Aug 30, 2021

LordReed:
Nope there is no evidence a Moses existed. There is no evidence of an Exodus from Egypt. There is no evidence they went around slaughtering the Canaanites. In fact the evidence shows that the Hebrews were themselves Canaanites that started to distinguish themselves by elevating particular gods above others.

What have you read to make you think the above or are your repeating the popular narrative?

Besides there is no evidence for the exodus because it’s a fictional tale of a real event. The exodus is the fictionalized version of a real forced migration. Real events mixed with exaggeration. Like Hollywood
