Was King David from the Bible, Black?

[Secure Da Bag]

Someone just posted he was. But I don't remember anything from the Bible saying or proving that he was.

 

[TheKongoEmpire]

There's a possibility that he never existed.

The Bible has nothing to do with us - Ethiopia is on the opposite side of where my and your ancestors actually came from: West and Central Africa

Why do you want to be a genital mutilating, inbred, sand sucking jew so bad, Black man?

"In the late 15th century, Portuguese traders and missionaries began arriving in West Africa, first in Guinea, Mauritania, the Gambia, Ghana, and Sierra Leone, then Nigeria and later in the Kingdom of Kongo, where they would find success in converting prominent local leaders to Catholicism."

Google Maps link: Elmina Castle, Ghana where enslaved Africans were kept under it’s Christian Church to be sold to the Americas

Black Christians will still play blind to these historical facts and evidence about our own history and do Olympic level mental gymnastics to cope, instead of acknowledging what they can see with their own eyes and actually PHYSICALLY touch with their own hands and feet today.

Ignoring the historical truths of our history like Massa wants

Just like we descent from Central and West Africa,
but they’ll point to Ethiopia which is located in East Africa,
to insinuate that Christianity ain’t inherently colonial.

Like it wasn’t brought there to Ethiopia by a non-Black Phoenician Christian missionary from Lebanon..

We’re of Central and West African descent and yall tryna be like Middle Easterners, using East Africans that were converted by a non-Black Christian missionary from Lebanon to rationalize it.

If he was black or not would that change your belief in the Bible?

@ReasonableMatic have you ever considered making you message more palitable to other posters? I get what you are trying to do, and many of your posts have good points ; but it defeats the purpose if you feed the people more than they can chew in a single post.


Id compare your current method to the analogy of a child requesting some jelly for their PBJ, and then being rewarded by a dump truck pouring 80 tons of jelly on their slice of bread. Yes , the jelly was needed but now that pbj is now soaked and inedible. May even lead the child to be hostile to ever seeking jelly in the future.

I wouldn't be surprised if King David was a mythological character like Romulus and Remus are to Rome

To answer your question on my behalf, no it would not matter. I don't believe in any earthly religion, so matters not which race the characters are in any belief system. I still admit that I do not know if there is a god or not, so I am neither an atheist nor theist, but an agnostic.

The biggest mistake of of bible authors was name dropping nearby civilizations with loads of their own independent literature. These societies had scribes, accountants, poets, military tacticians, etc

If there was a war machine named David in the middle east, then the hittites would most certainly have documented it . If there was mountains of gold hoarded by a miser named Solomon, then the Asyrians would have taken note. Same with the escapades of jacob or moses near the literary powerhouse of Egypt.
