Is Christianity A White Man’s Religion? by Jessiemms(op): 3:11pm On Jun 12, 2023
Christianity is a religion that has spread throughout the world and has been embraced by people of various races and ethnicities. However, there has been a long-standing debate about whether Christianity is a “white religion.” This belief is based on the fact that most early missionaries and evangelists were European and that Christianity has been used as a tool of colonialism and oppression.

Christianity originated in the Middle East, specifically in Palestine, which was then part of the Roman Empire. Its founder, Jesus Christ, was a Jew who lived in the first century AD. He taught his followers about the Kingdom of God and how to live a righteous life.

Christianity and Colonialism
One of the main reasons why some people view Christianity as a “white religion” is because of its association with colonialism. European countries such as Spain, Portugal, France, and England used Christianity as a tool to just https://allpastors.org/is-christianity-a-white-religion/

The problem people have with Christianity is lack of critical thinking ability!

If someone comes to you saying he is one of the representatives of a man who is the most peaceful and peace loving ever but the one coming to you is fully armed with weapons and not only that he is forcing his opinion on others. Any right thinking person will conclude that it's either the person they're talking about never existed or the armed messengers aren't his real friends.

In the case of Jesus billions have concluded that he never existed at all while only a handful few reason that those coming with weapons aren't his real friends.

According to what is written in that book (Bible) Jesus himself was quoted saying:

“Look! I am sending you out as sheep among wolves; so prove yourselves cautious (wise) as serpents and yet innocent (harmless) as doves" Matthew 10:16

Throughout his life Jesus never raised a weapon against anyone because he taught his disciples not to be part of the world that's driven by political ambitions or racial prejudice.

After studying the four books that talks about the life and ministry of Jesus Christ an Indian named Muhatma Gandhi said:

"I love Jesus Christ but i hate you Christians because you people are in no way like the man this book talked about"

So it's evident that the first religionists who came to Africa with copies of that book (Bible) aren't Christians for real but POLITICIANS! smiley

This is true because the white bandits knew it was advantagous to them in their quest of domination, especially as it is easier, peacefuller and cheaper than war.

Can you see dishonesty in defense of JWs?



The explorers came to Africa to satisfy their curiosity. Rulers who wanted to expand their empires used their findings to achieve their aim just as engineers use scientific findings for inventions.

Religious people used the opportunity to reach out to people, promoting the kingdom of God. No christian missionaries of any denominations carried weapons.

When Ibadan and Ekiti people fought for sixteen years, Reverend J. B. Wood among others waded in and ended the war. He didn't support any part to extend his ministry.


You see evil publications of JW's have robbed their followers of sound reasoning.

Whoever wants to learn should come it's not rocket science Jesus commanded his disciples to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves {Matthew 10:16} they're not to rule over others by force {Matthew 26:52} and they must have the same line of thought {John 17:22} all these are the flaws of those who first came to Africa with the Bible:
They were here to dominate our people with guns and render our kings and culture useless.
They established their own system of rule and their religion was working side by side with their system of government using force.
They weren't in agreement as England and France created barriers by introducing maps not just to teach our people landscape but to show where their rulership ends.
So they cut away most of our people to republic of Benin due to politics between them and France yet they're claiming Christians.

Jesus didn't teach all that rather he taught his disciples that they will become one family {Mark 10:29-30} but the white supremacists came to divide us the more for their political ambitions.

They weren't Christians in any way if we're to go by what is recorded in the Bible as Jesus' words! smiley

So these politicians had no religion? Pagans didn't have politicians? Hindus? What made these 'politicians' pick Christianity? Why was Christianity their preferred tool for subjugation and domination?

Ọmọ use your brain nah!

Apart from Islam and Christianity what other religion gives room for propagation?

None of those religions you mentioned asked their adherents to go preaching to convert others hence only the Bible and Quran was used by those politicians.

Today MKO Abiola has become Mr June 12 as politicians are using him to brainwash their people but when he was alive 98% of Nigerian politicians told him point blank that he must join the queue and wait for his turn while the opportunists who has no pedigree back then were following him to become relevant.

Ọmọ wisdom is the practical application of accumulated information which yields lasting benefits you can never ever have that in atheism, sure you will have knowledge since that's accessible to all but wisdom you need the UNCOMMON SENCE to gain it! smiley

The love of God for us


John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.



When Adam sinned, he lost the direct access he initially had with God. (Genesis 3) God decided to send his only begotten son (Jesus) to pay the price for our sins on the cross of calvary because of his love for us. When Christ resurrected, he restored all privileges that we once had and brought redemption to us all. All we need is to believe that he died for our sin and has once again granted us direct access with God. No longer through an intermediary! (Mathew 27:50-53).

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.


If our earthly parents care so much for us, how much more our father in heaven! (Luke 11:11-13). God’s love for us is infinite. He has promised to supply all our needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philipians 4:19).


Prayer of Salvation

Lord Jesus, I accept and acknowledge you as my personal lord and savior. I sincerely ask that you forgive my sins. Come into my life and pour out your spirit on me. By faith, I receive the promise of the father, which is the holy spirit. (John 14:16) I thank you for the price that you paid for me on the cross of calvary. Thank you for my redemption. I pray that your power, grace and favor will abide with me now and forever more. Amen.
