So if we pray to Jesus is that a disservice? Would Yeshua be better?
God knows your heart and what you intend.
Uh huh and since then my good APA brother..who is the face of Christianity worshippers? It ain't Eriteans or Ethiopians with Coptic Christianity and we are descendants of enslaved West Africans......they didn't worship no jesus or god....they had other Gods and Goddesses.
It's ok to be black spot if Christianity, it has done nothing for us, that we couldn't do ourselves.
Ethiopians have a strong belief that their country is the birthplace of Christianity, and many people including me agree with this. They have a version of the Bible that includes all the traditional books, and they also claim to have the Ark of the Covenant.
Their Christian church has been influential and resilient for a long time, dating back to the story of the Ethiopian Eunuch in the Bible. This story happened decades before Paul went into Europe in the Epistles.
Also
before Christianity reached Europe, North Africa was really important for its early growth. It was one of the first places where Christianity spread, especially in cities like Alexandria. Key figures like Augustine helped shape Christian beliefs. Many North Africans became martyrs.
I should add that without Augustine Roman Catholicism as we know it would probably not exist.
Please just google - early Christianity in Africa before Europe.
