They told us that Christianity came from the white man for two reasons:

To make us feel indebted.

To destroy our self-image, making us think all Africans were pagans and uncivilized, living like uncontacted tribes in the bush.

But the Bible shows otherwise:

In Acts, during Pentecost, people from many nations heard the good news in their own languages and carried it back to their lands.

The same book also records that Philip preached to a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians.

This proves two things:

Christianity did not begin its spread from Europe.

Ethiopia had a queen, showing that not all Africans lived primitively.
I believe that Christianity started in both Africa and Europe at the same time. Ethiopia and Egypt from Africa and the likes of Antioch, Constatinople, Galatia, Ephesus, Tessalonica, Rome etc in present day Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Italy etc.

Where is the evidence fo4 this
There was black Egypt. There was a time of black Pharaohs - when the Kingdom of Kush overawed and ruled Egypt.

-----------------

The Kingdom of Kush, a powerful civilization located in ancient Nubia (present-day Sudan), ruled over Egypt during the 8th and 7th centuries BCE. This period, known as the 25th Dynasty of Egypt, is sometimes referred to as the "Nubian Dynasty" or the "Black Pharaohs."


The Rise of Kushite Power
After centuries of being a vassal state to Egypt, the Kingdom of Kush, with its capital at Napata, grew in strength. Its rulers were deeply influenced by Egyptian culture and religion, particularly the worship of the god Amun. Taking advantage of the political disarray and fragmentation of Egypt during the Third Intermediate Period, the Kushite king Kashta peacefully established control over Upper Egypt, with his daughter being appointed a high-ranking religious official in Thebes.



The true conquest, however, came with Kashta's successor, Piye (also known as Piankhy). Viewing himself as a divinely appointed restorer of true Egyptian traditions, Piye launched a campaign to unify Egypt. He led a military expedition that swept through the country, conquering city after city, including Memphis, and ultimately receiving the submission of the various local rulers in the Nile Delta. His victory is famously chronicled on a detailed stela, the "Victory Stela of Piye."




The Kushite Pharaohs
The 25th Dynasty was founded by Piye, and the Kushite pharaohs who followed him ruled over a vast empire that stretched from the confluence of the Blue and White Niles to the Mediterranean Sea. The most notable rulers of this dynasty include:

Piye: The founder who conquered Egypt and unified the Nile Valley.

Shabaka: Piye's successor who solidified Kushite control over the entire country.

Taharqa: A powerful Kushite king who engaged in conflicts with the Assyrian Empire.

Characteristics of Kushite Rule
The Kushite pharaohs saw themselves not as foreign conquerors but as the legitimate heirs to the pharaonic tradition, seeking to restore the greatness of ancient Egypt. Their rule was marked by a cultural and artistic renaissance.


Cultural Revival: They revived many ancient Egyptian religious practices, commissioned the construction of new temples, and restored older ones.

Architectural Legacy: They embraced the traditional Egyptian practice of building pyramids for their tombs, resulting in more pyramids in Sudan (Nubia) than in Egypt itself.

Blending of Cultures: While they reaffirmed Egyptian traditions, they also introduced distinct elements of their own culture, such as their unique regalia, including a specific cap crown with a double uraeus (sacred serpent).

The End of Kushite Rule
The Kushite rule over Egypt came to an end due to the rising power of the Assyrian Empire. After a series of conflicts, the Assyrians invaded Egypt, forcing the Kushite pharaoh Taharqa to retreat. The final Kushite ruler, Tantamani, lost control of Upper Egypt in 656 BCE when the Assyrians sacked the city of Thebes. The Kushite kings then withdrew to their homeland in Nubia, where the kingdom of Kush would continue to thrive for centuries with its capital eventually moving to Meroë.

Egypt was never a Christian country oga.

They worshiped gods and other deities including their pharaohs.
Egypt became Christian country long before the birth of Mohammad. It was conquered by invading arab jihadists that also islamised today's Turkey under ottoman empire. The remnants of Christianity in Egypt today is Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. The richest family in Egypt today, Sawiris - the owners of Orascom, are Egypt Coptic Christians.

There is no such thing as a Christian country, that idea is centuries out of date. None of those nations have a constitution based on your Bible.
But you want us to believe that there are muslim countries, just because of coercion and placing their citizens under the bandage of imposition of quran on them??

These are the earliest European depictions of Jesus, before they whitened the image at the height of the slave trade.

If you have a WHITE MAN PICTURE in your church or parlour or bedroom, as ''JESUS'', you are deceiving yourself.

Bearing false witness.

You are not worshipping God or Jesus.

You are worshipping the white man colonial invader and psychological manipulator who falsely and crookedly positioned himself as your ''Lord and Saviour''.
So with all u have seen in Nigeria alone u believe that Jesus and Tinubu have the same skin tone?

What type of black could it be? Because there are not many different types of black especially in the area concerned. Furthermore many Egyptian artefacts disclose a wide nose and thick lips which are clearly negroid.

The only other type of black in the neighbourhood would be the Ethiopian type which is like a mix of negroid and Arab.

Oga, stop spewing all these.

Egypt existed long before Christianity came. Christianity is just over 2000 years old and came to being after the passing of Christ.

Egypt was never a Christian country as you claimed. If there was some conversion later when Christianity came to existence, it’s understandable. But saying Egypt was always a Christian state is false and doesn’t conform with historical records available.

the middle east was completely black skinned people, before Alexander the great and his marauding hordes invaded the place.
Abi you think there were white skinned people in North Africa before Ottoman invaded the place?
Or whites in South Africa before the Dutch came there?
If Jesus suddenly becomes white after 2000yrs, his message is a LIE. He is an invented person. Bobrisky is not a woman. There is scam involved in any transitioning of a person. Maybe you need to listen to Putin the Russian president asking the west, how did Jesus become white?
WHEN JESUS WAS FIRST INVENTED, HE WAS COMPLETELY A BLACK MAN.
