Hey hey wait there were zero christians in ethiopia in 1AD because TheReal said so friend. The BBC, who are they.

Thats sarcasm i used as a literary device to show how friends with agendas can ignore and choose not to research facts just so they can be wrong, and strong.

Its so demonic.

informative but it does not disprove my point.

What evidence do you have of tribes that were in modern day Angola practicing Christianity that long ago?

Also I am sure those early African cities that had Christians were under Rome.

Nice try, friend, but that link doesn't contradict anything I've said here. Hellenistic Christianity was in Africa before it reached Ethiopia- in Egypt, where it then spread to Sudan and the Nubian kingdoms. I guess you want to keep ignoring the Ethiopian history books and desperately trying to twist anything you come across to support your point. That's too bad.

By the way, the first Church in Egypt was a Greek-speaking one, too.

I don't know about y'all, but it bums me that discussions about Africa are seen through the lens of a religion imposed on us by outsiders. I don't really know how to articulate my point but I'm sure some of y'all know what I mean.

Makes me think of this time some dude had the nerve to tell me I wasn't a "true African" (whatever that is) because I'm not a "Christian". Sad.

Sorry if this mini-rant was off-topic.

No need to disprove your point since I was proving mine. Christianity was a part of African beliefs far before the Slave Trade. They adopted it to fight Roman incursion.

So you can not prove that Africans in Angola, South Africa, and Zaire were Christians before the slave trade? You only showed me that those that are close to source are Christians something i did not deny and even explained.

Your confusion is because most of us think that our ancestors were 'forced' to adhere to a belief system completely alien to them which is patently, historically false. They accepted it because it was already there and familiar to them.

I was with you until this post, breh. It seems like you're suggesting that West Africans were both very familiar with Christianity and accepted it when it was (re)introduced by Europeans. There was almost no Christianity in West Africa when the Europeans got there, even in the Maghreb. It had been wiped out pretty thoroughly by the Muslims. Furthermore, that particular era of Christianization was not a simple matter of consent and acceptance, and very few people in West (not northwest) Africa were familiar with any form of Christianity- there was never a serious pre-European Christian presence in most of the areas that became nodes of the European slave trade.

This is another convo but interesting.

Though I will not deny some people were not forced to say non of them where and people just accepted Christianity just because it was familiar is. I really can not believe you just typed it.

Also I don't know why you keep bringing up other topics and ignoring my other posts to you and giving answers to questions i never asked?

Nope. What I'm saying is that Christianity was familiar prior to the Portuguese incursions of the 15th Century in West Africa. What our ancestors 'accepted' were the spiritual aspects of the religion, same with Islam, since they had been practicing them for a thousand+ years prior. John Henrik Clarke goes into a lot more detail about the subject.​
