shatter negative stereotypes and misconceptions,,,,The Bible: An African Origin (1641 hits)

The Bible: An African Origin

Africa did not only give the world monotheism but actually authored the Bible. Blackness was never associated with evil. Then, the image of God was black before it was carved or Europeanized in 1499 by Michelangelo's Pieta, a statute that shows Jesus’ body on the lap of his mother Mary after his death. Depicting God as Black with African hair texture is seen in these gods: Fuhi China; the Xaha of the Japan; the Quetzalcoatl of Mexico and Buddha of India—a continuation of African religion and civilization. See the work of Ghanaian author, scholar, professor and Akan king, Nana Banchie Darkwah, “The Africans Who Wrote the Bible”. For four years Darkwah analyzed Egyptian and African history, culture, archeology, religion, and linguistics, as well as Jewish history, biblical history and DNA evidence. More importantly, Jesus’ preaching with concrete and live words showed that he an African. For example, the description “hair like the pure wool” (Rogers, 1995) is a description of a man of African ancestry. Secondly, Europeans are not people who use parables in their communications. The corridors of history is strew with evident that Europeans are ‘lineal talkers’, straight, get to the point speakers, not parables users.

The moral ancestry of Africa is older than the Hebrews and European who are now trying to bring African salvation. Nations such as Egypt and Ethiopia are directly mentioned in your Bible to show that historical genesis or what came first. As Prof. Breasted, a leading Egyptologist, puts it, “The ripe social and moral development of mankind in the Nile Valley which is 3000 years older than that of the Hebrews, contributed essentially to the formation of Hebrew literature!

I guess that when you have been raised to feel smugly & condescendingly superior to someone not even considered HUE-MAN then find yourself in the same boat it is rather mind blowing. When folks prefer to live in a state of denial, their minds are reprobated & they will not be moved. They will twist your words, intentionally take things out of context, and vilify you in an effort to hold onto their delusions of superiority rather than embrace the Black Man as "brother"...or equal. Cain will continue to destroy Abel until God's day of reckoning.

When asked by Whites what difference does it make whether Jesus was black or White...I simply smile & reply... If it doesn't make any difference, why did you make Him white? Can YOU handle the Truth?

"shatter negative stereotypes and misconceptions"?

For RESPECT-----it seems, to me, that the entire Preamble of BIA should be used without your additions......

------'Black In America is an online community for African American men, women, and families, and want to shatter negative stereotypes and misconceptions.'

One thing BIA commentators can ALL agree is the Preamble of BIA, its Rules and Direction!

i do

thank you THE BLOG KING DAVID JOHNSON SR for USING a part of it in your subject:

History, Scholarship and Science Should LEAD AWAY--- from the "negative stereotypes and misconceptions" of the past--colorWorship

i Believe that your Subject with the Bible, europeanVersion; and your 'black/white' References in your blog are "negative stereotypes and misconceptions" of the past--the past that the BIA Preamble should Smash

as the Books of the Creator of Adaam(as) before the euroCentric ideas were NOT about the differences of the Family of Adaam(as), or colorWorship, idolWorship or paganWorships ----- but About the Belief of One Family of Mankind

i will try to explain my Differences with your subject......

History, Scholarship and Science 2012 of BIA, has PROBABLY Analyzed and Recorded the Bible, latinJesus, Slavery and Egypt more than most SUBJECTS

for Americans, europeanChristian SUBJUGATION of the slaverAmericana Past of America should give us a Comprehension of History, Scholarship and Science 2012 and REALITY of Understanding about: the Bible, latinJesus, Hebrew, Slavery and Paganism and its CONVERGENCE in Egypt...

for instance, ALL 2012 Scholars KNOW that pharoahnic Way of Life was Pagan, Idolatrous and harsh for 'Hebrews'

FACTS of History, Scholarship and Science:
(away from stereotypes and misconceptions)

1. All Human DNA can be traced to One Set of Male and Female Originators

2. a 'Hebrew' --- Musa(as)-moses, moshe......was a SON of Pharoah from childbirth to adulthood........he was able to PASS as Egyptian because he was the SAME

3. Musa(as); in his Adulthood, then LEARNED some knowledge of MONOTHEISTIC thought from the Creator of Adaam(as) and REJECTED his Father, paganPharoah-----REJECTED his paganPharoah Father SO much that the Creator of Adaam(as) Created some Spectacular CreatorOnly effects on Egypt and Destroyed Pharoahs challenge to Monotheism.......

4. Then we can Follow this History, Scholarship and Science to a plain or field at Arafat

Musa(as) went to the Mountain Top and Received The LAW from the Creator of Adaam(as)

--------the Reaction by MANY of the Hebrew Monotheistic Witnesses to Spectacular CreatorOnly effects on Egypt-----was to become pagan Idolatrous GOLDcowWorshippers

..and the result was the Disbanning, deClanning of the 'hebrew' people into maybe 12 hebrewTRIBES, some Monotheistic followers of the Creator of Adaam(as), some Idolatrous

----SOME went here, there, Everywhere AND many stayed in africaAsia and Evolved into Great Monotheistic believers of the Creator of Adaam(as)

not ONLY is the BIA Preamble and Genesis---- asking BIA to smash the thinking of the past,

but Our President Baraka Hussein Obama WHO inspired the start of the BIA website has asked ALL Americans to CHANGE.......lets at least try with History, Scholarship and Science 2012 and Debate of Understanding

David,

Here you go lying again. If the bible was an African the stories would be about Africans. But, all the stories are about the Jewish people.

The story of Moses is about Jewish people in bondage and slavery in Egypt. There is not one story in the bible about Africans. You are a liar and you are stupid.

This is why you two ass wipes need to stay off my blogs why ? because your both stuck in your own mental jail cell and dont know how to come out even when the lock is open HARRY YOUR DUMB ASS will never ever come to grips with your life and the reality of who black people are and why the conspires want to keep black people down and with your limited thinking and white mans way of looking at the bible your doing a good job in helping the slave master keep the black man down ,what a dumb ass !

Robert we all know how your ie you are stuck on repeating the same thing over and over that has nothing to do with the subject in the blog ,,im not talking about the white mans bible where Islam stole most of its writing from allow me to help both rise out the box of ignorance and walk down the hallways of scholarship.

The oneness of God is an indispensable component of ethical monotheism. Only if there is one God is there one morality. Two or more gods mean two or more divine wills, and therefore two or more moral codes. That is why ethical polytheism is unlikely. Once God told Abraham( Harry Abraham was a black man dummy ) ) that human sacrifice is wrong, it was wrong. There was no competing God to teach otherwise.

Robert try to see if you can under stand the facts and come out of that prison of ignorance, Now read..... monotheism (the belief in one god) is often linked with Judaism and Christianity, there are other ideas that come up when we ask "When did monotheism start?"

Many historians have documented worship of a sun god named Aten (sometimes Aton) in the 13th century BC. The religion at that time worshiped God as a reflection of the pharaoh, who was the absolute ruler of the Egyptian empire.

Amenhotep, who ruled Egypt from 1379-1362 BC, tried to impose this version of monotheism during his tenure, but when he died, everything connected with him was banned and the people reverted to their old religious traditions.

Another example of monotheism has been documented with Zoroastrianism about 3,500 years ago in Persia.

The prophet Zarathushtra preached that there was one God, whom he called Ahura Mazda. Ahura means "Lord," and Mazda means "Wise," so Zoroastrians call God the "Wise Lord." No one knows exactly when Zarathushtra lived, but scholars say it could be anywhere from 1500 BC to 600 BC.

Africans gave the concept known as “Monotheism”, believing in one God. Let us begin by acknowledging the so-called “boy-king of Egypt,” or Tutankhamen (1333bc-1323bc) who created the concept of one God. “Boy-king” because he was in teen when he become Pharaoh. Amenophis III was the father of Tutankhamen, the ninth king of the Eighteenth Dynasty. He galvanized the worship of the Aten, or the sun disk. In its adoration, he constructed a temple to the Aten and named it for his own private pleasure ferryboat Splendor of Aten. During that time, the land of Egypt only knew polytheistic religion as everything in the land of Egypt had its godhead, and all were ruled over by Amen-Re from birth to death. Amenophis III would pass on his reverence of the Aten to his son Amenophis IV, and in so doing he did not only mark the rudimentary of the end of the Eighteenth dynasty but the beginning of monotheism in Africa.

Back people can’t go on being lectured that we made no substantial contributions to religion, science, medicine and the arts. We have to liberate or graduate ourselves from this thinking. There is no smidge of truth then in the periscope of thought that Africans need to undo themselves to be civilized or know Christ’s conscious. Africans already knew these things. Before Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.) Africans were mathematicians, scientists, healers (Diop, 1991) and great communicators, using God's Natural Book and Spirit Mediums.
“Cultural surrender is more than a matter of rejecting one's father and mother culture. It means that one accepts a new definition as a person. The culturally dependent person is a mere spectator, a receptacle for the creativities of others”, as Dr. Asa Hilliard eloquently puts it. We must change! This generation must see reason for renewing of minds and transformative revolutions of consciousness.

what a negative stereotype and misconceptor you are ----

biaKing,

i have lived in the land of the pharoahs, AND there are a lot of RECORDED and built things of the paganPharoanic past STILL standing and Preserved

-------AND there is NO pharoahnic inspired MONOTHEISTIC thought, statue or papyrus---RECORDED.....

-------thats what the egyptians, JEWS, and Muslims Believe........

MONOTHEISM in ENGLISH means:

The Belief of one Creator of the world--- like in the tenCommandments of Musa(as)

READ your OWN pastings above,

biaBoi King--writes/pastes above-"sun god named Aten, or Amenhotep, or He galvanized the worship of the Aten, or the sun disk"

i nearly Married a Zorastrian lady once, so i know that the light of the fire is their one source of diety

you, biaKing, live ON the PC and 'learn' from the articles you choose to PLAGERISE

----you seem to have no Human Social Comprehension, but thats OK, like harry --- youALL are 'black' AND i understand your laziness toward Research and Reading History, Scholarship and Science....

again, for the 24,258,367th time,

'black/white' Human Distinctions are a european paganChristian DIVISIVE, dividing, false addition to History, Scholarship and Science of the Family of Adaam(as)

if you READ and Believe the kingJames VERSION of the bible, then you HAVE to believe as most christian PEOPLE 2012 in the WORLD believe, latinJesus IS 'WHITE'-----

@ ROBERT '' PLAGIARIZED ''some elements of Zoroastrianism are found in Islam. Zoroastrians were practicing the five daily prayers long before Islam hit the scene. The Sarat (or Serat) bridge is another name for the Chinvat Peretu ("bridge of separation") of the Gathas.

sorry, biaKing,---- i did misspell plagiarize

bottom line, no jew, egyptian, or Muslim in the WORLD has EVER uttered the IGNORANCE you plagiarize.............

and if it took 'your' Guy from ghana, studying in 100-120 Degree heat in egypt, the passage about hair to make an assumption about genetics, he is as slow as you

Racism is ignorance, get off the silly street..............learn that weather, climate and desert makes ALL the same................

Muslims present the Quran as a so-called Miracle of Muhammad. They do this as there is nothing else for them to present to us as 'proof' of their faith. However, if you study the Quran, you will notice plagiarism from older religious scriptures and fables well known to his time. One wonders what exactly did Muhammad bring to this world (other than the systematic persecution of non-Muslims, Homos*xuals, Women, Children etc. at the hands of Islamic Law) that we did not already possess? The phrase “Old wine in a new bottle” comes to mind.

David,

What kind of a Black man was Jesus since you say that Jesus was a Black man. Was Jesus Nigerian? Was Jesus a Black American man? What sort of a Black man was Jesus?

@ HARRY !
In ancient times, including Jesus' time, the Arabian peninsula was considered part of what we now call Africa, not "the Near East" or "the Middle East".

Americans and modern Europeans tend to think of a genealogy as a simple chronological list of ancestors and descendants; hence, many skeptics are quick to point out omissions in biblical genealogies and claim those are "proof" that the K J Bible is not reliable .

Most English-language information on Christianity gives the false subliminal impression that Jesus was a dark-haired Anglo, (an American term referring to Caucasian Americans of generally northern European heritage, e.g., English, German, etc. "Anglo" is a term of ethnicity not race. It is a narrower term than "white" or "Caucasian". For instance, medium-dark skinned persons from India, Pakistan, etc., are definitely Caucasian but would not be considered Anglo.)

Christianity is frequently portrayed as "the White Man's religion". The truth is that most of the people in the Bible were people of color (i.e., not "Anglo"): Semitics, blacks, and Mediterranean, e.g., Romans.

I spent a lot of time researching and writing , because so little material is available.

Very little information is readily available in print.

Virtually all the printed works on this topic are very biased: American and European biblical scholars like to pretend that Jesus was Anglo, and black Bible scholars who write on this topic give the impression that everybody in the Bible was dark black with pronounced negro features.

Jesus' male ancestors trace a line from Shem. However, ethnically and racially, they were mixed Semitic and Hamitic from the times spent in captivity in Egypt and Babylon.

Rahab and probably Tamar were Canaanites. Although Canaanites spoke a Semitic language, they were descendants of Ham through his son Canaan. Bethsheba, who had been the wife of Uriah the Hittite, probably was a Hittite herself, possibly a Hamitic Hittite, though scholars disagree on the precise identity of the "Hittites" in the Bible because historical records are quite scarce.

In the United States today the general view on whether someone is "black" is the One-Drop Rule -- if a person has any black ancestors s/he is considered "black", even with a clearly Anglo skin color, e.g., Mariah Carry, LaToya Jackson. (cf., for example, The Politics of Egyptology and the History Kemet (Egypt))

Jesus Christ was indeed a black man. The original hebrews were a group of black people descended from Y'srael(Jacob)whom was from the line of Shem;Shem was a black man just like his parents and his two brothers,Ham and Yapheth:Remember that pure black cannot come from pure white. He was from the tribe of Yahuda(Judah)so therefore he was a "Jew" but not the kind of jews you see around Israel today;they are either Khazars or some type of European converts and/or imposters. The black people who have lived in the Holy Land for centuries still live there today but in a much smaller population than in the past. The media won't show Americans these people nor will they reveal to them who GOD'S chosen people are. There was and is no nation of people known as "Jews" because they were and are only a portion of the Nation of Israel, which was and is comprised of 12 tribes.All the original nations were dark or what people today would call black! People don't seem to understand this and it's pretty sad but it's a part of the Bible's prophecy....
