How do Black Christians rationalize the history of why they are Christian?

The Christian holidays = rooted in paganism. That is not the same as biblical holidays.

I wasn't disagreeing bruh.

 

[African Peasant]

"I make my own rule". Ok...

 

[Mowgli]

tell me where i said its harming us ? I asked you about black jesus .

I don't know. Do the majority of ados Christians people know Jesus is black in 2021 I would assume so.

Everyone with a white jesus poster on their wall is probably on their way out

This has nothing to do with entertainment and this is not an argument. Not sure why internet nikkas feel that someone asking a question = argument….. I’m trying to clarify who you are referring to as the oppressor of black Americans…… if you think it’s the European, nothing of spiritual relevance or significance has come from the European

Roman Catholic

 

[invincible1914]

And no - im not an atheist at all. I fully believe and talk to God/The Creator/higher power daily, just make my own rules of life with him, and do my best to be a kind person to everyone.

I don’t subscribe to any man-delivered religions or messages.

But how does everyone (my family, your family, etc) just gloss over the only reason we as Black folks follow the Christian religion is due to being beaten into it through Slavery and Colonialism. (Talking about the majority of us Americans, Caribbeans, Africans, not any ancient Ethiopians or whatnot with their own form of Christianity)

do we all just ignore/not even look at history?

Why should anybody have to explain that to you? Kids in elementary know the answer. You can watch the Fresh Prince of Belair and get the answer you're looking for. You're responsible for your own ignorance.

Before you come back with something stupid. Slaves used the church time to setup their own Church meetings as a way to communicate. Any black leader would go under the guise of being a minister for protection. The songs were used as a way to communicate. "We've come this far by faith."

Families grew up going to church teaching their children to goto church. (I can't believe I'm typing this crap.)... duringsegregation... there were black churches and white churches...




Truth is God is real and Jesus is the way. Without Him we would not be where we are today. "A fool says in his heart that there is no God."

So the people that haven't heard about Jesus, what about them? Why is he the only way?

 

[Cereal_Bowl_Assassin]

Easily.
Christianity predates slavery and was adopted in Africa before the Atlantic slave trade minus slave traders. 1sr 2nd century AD. You don't know who was Christian and who was not.

White people taught a b*stardized version of Christianity for mind control since black people in those times were not literate. If they were they'd see scripture that speaks of the kidnappers of men.

Once we were able to read English we came into a deeper understanding of the word.

Once we learned Jesus and the figures in the bible were black we had a stronger connection to the word and our place in this story since it's about us. We were told it was about them..

Lastly King James was a black man

I don't follow any religion but this is similar to what I wanted to say.

Roman Catholic

Bruh…. Roman is an descriptor in this case….

Catholicism is a DENOMINATION of Christianity….. You might as well of said Southern Baptist

Everything Catholic leadership
have done gets put on all Christian denominations.

Black people believing in white and Arab gods is one of the main reasons we are behind.

 

[Jeshaman]

Black people can be Christians, but as a group, we have the least to gain by being part of this farce. I mean, even Jews, who don't believe in Jesus get billions of dollars in aid from the USA, a whole country to themselves, reparations, nuclear weapons, and a pass to oppress Palestinians. When you think about it, it's really wild how Christianity is weaponized politically. The same Christians in the bible belt who send millions in aid to Israel won't even give up their confederate flags and statues for their fellow Christians, who happen to be black and Americans. It is really a brilliant scam.
