Did Africans believe in God before Christianity? What is the African view of God? What are the Orishas? What is Voodoo (Vodou)? Prof. Small answers these questions and more in part 1 of this intimate conversation about the African origins of modern religion.

Try to read coran you Will not regret it Surah Al-Ikhlas In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. Say, “He is God, the One. 2. God, the Absolute. 3. He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4. And there is nothing comparable to Him.” This is a clear statement by God describing Himself to humanity without any room for confusion. God is One and is exalted above everything He creates. This chapter of the Quran is about the oneness of God. The concept of God has been presented here in its purest form, ridding it of all polluting associations which people of every age have brought to it. There is no plurality of gods. There is only one God. All are dependent upon Him, but He is not dependent on anybody. He Himself has power over everything. He is far above being the progeny of anybody or having any offspring. He is such a unique being that there is nobody like Him or equal to Him in any manner whatsoever. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9SWqqZ-1Ke9cps.html

@@nanabediako2980 so if the African gods were stolen from us that logically presents a problem. How can a flesh and blood whiteman remove a powerful spirit from the hearts and minds of a people? Means those gods must have not been that powerful after all right? Jesus Christ endures because he is the truth. Your African gods couldn’t stand up against some poorly equipped red necks while Jesus Christ ultimately conquered the entire Roman Empire without violence? Explain that for me? Next question if the African Gods were so powerful and even existed why did they sit back and let the slavers arrive and take Africans from their continent? Why didn’t they cause the slave ships to sink from storms? Why didn’t they cause the animals to savagely attack their slave expeditions traveling to the African interior?

As a child of both indigenous Nicaraguan and Jamaican immigrants, I have always felt that traditional Christianity was not telling the whole truth and was filled with false narratives and biased interpretations. As I become more aware and conscious, I have developed a growing urge to learn more about my origins and it’s relationship to spirituality and divinity. I have taken it upon myself to become educated and search for my truth. Thank you for sharing this information with us all as it allows us to have the correct information and allows us to become more in tune and aware of our natural extension of the divine. ✊🏾

Maaaan, I couldn't have said it any better. I have been trying to figure out how to explain or put into words my spiritual journey recently. The more I read or listen to the Bible and put some real thought into it & religion, particularly Christianity, the more I feel like something is not right. There's a lot that doesn't make sense. There's something they're not telling us. Something they don't want us to know. The more I feel deceived and manipulated. Perhaps there's a lot they don't know but instead of saying they don't know they just made up some stuff to fill in the blanks. All of this leads me to want to know what was the religion, beliefs, traditions, culture, language and even diet of my people before the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.

I responded because I would like to reply about your comment about finding your own truth and ask, what good is that pursuit in your opinion if it does not lead to a proper faith and worship of God? Would you rather still choose an ancestral tradition or what is comfortable to you over what is true? History reveals what this looks like when we desire to establish our own faith and worship without proper knowledge of the Divine. From the OT times to the 20th century God has shown us we cannot do this and desires us to repent for having done so as the scripture tells us, ("Men of Athens i preceive you are very religious. For I passed along and observed the objects of your worship I found also an altar with the inscription, 'to the unknown God', What therefore you worship as unknown this i proclaim to you."). & ("the times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent because He has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead."). Though I agree God has made all men everywhere able to seek Him... ("That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:") ...and acknowledge God exists without knowing the Bible or being a 'Christian' or the practice of spiritualism...( "By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God so what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.") .... (" For His invisible attributes namely his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly perceived ever since the creation of the world in the things that have been made.."). But then there is still the question, what are we to do with this understanding of the Divine? Do we randomly call upon nature or spirits as we please to feel a 'connection' with our environment or Creator? Are we to follow our own ideology and/or traditions over what is natural? no. But there is good news, the good news is that we can know and align ourselves to the Divine in a way He calls for ...(Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the Father except through Me") & (Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit"). The Bible reveals that we are spiritually dead without Christ and stand before God as guilty sinners and that's where the good news of the Gospel comes in to reconcile us back to a relationship with our Divine Creator since God desire those who desire to worship Him must do so in Spirit and truth. That's only accomplished through faith in Jesus Christ.. "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” .. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."

thechosenfew…I like your tag line. It speaks volumes. I feel that there are a few who think as I do, with the exception of a few. This world system is designed to make the masses believe in a one world society when it comes to everything we have been taught. As I get older I am learning to question many things . When you are seen as a person that does not conform to the system you become a target to be ridiculed , mocked, and punished. The system has brainwashed the masses and therefore one can stick out very easily. I have been this way for as long as I can recall. I thank the Most High for his devine works in me. I have stumbled and fallen. However, by the grace of Yah, I regain a pathway back to the truth. I have aways desired knowledge and truth. I rejected what is wrong. Therefore because of my views I am usually alone in my stance. This is because I do not think, act and behave as the majority. The majority of people are sick, sad, envious, and evil people. That goes for the variety of hues among us. Therefore, you can’t assume that someone that looks like you is in agreement with your beliefs. I just hope and pray that the will of the Most High prevails in the end. That one day that all this mayhem is never no more. We are living in crucial times. May the will of Yah’s be done. May a peaceful and loving future come into existence for the sake of humanity. 🙏🏽😢

Self is Satan, the spirit of VANITY and death. All creation or every creature is not self reliant. We are interdependent beings. You can never survive on self. You walk upon earth, eat from it, drink water, breathe oxygen (air), warm with light (sun, Moon, stars...), and these things turn also to depend on JEHOVAH ELOHIM (YHWH= CHRIST JESUS). We must know GOD, then we will know who we are TRULY

I’m also a seeker too and I realized quite recently that your spirituality has a lot to do with your environment, culture and tradition. We were deceived by those who colonized us that our traditions were fetish and their religion was superior to our traditions. Come to think of it, the same people that brought us Christianity were the same people that enslaved us, how can we trust this people? I come from a place in Nigeria where people can stop the rain from Falling if there is an important occasion. They just need say a few words and make some Incantations and in no time the rain would stop if it was already falling. So how is this practice fetish? Since my years of being a Christian I never saw a pastor or a bishop stop a rain from falling even with all the anointing they claim to have.. so I know that something is wrong somewhere. We were being fooled! This same people stole a lot of our ancestral artifacts which they claim was fetish. Lately I’ve been trying to reconnect with my roots. I come from a place surrounded by water, so I think my Orishas dwell in the water.

Try to read coran you Will not regret it Surah Al-Ikhlas In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. Say, “He is God, the One. 2. God, the Absolute. 3. He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4. And there is nothing comparable to Him.” This is a clear statement by God describing Himself to humanity without any room for confusion. God is One and is exalted above everything He creates. This chapter of the Quran is about the oneness of God. The concept of God has been presented here in its purest form, ridding it of all polluting associations which people of every age have brought to it. There is no plurality of gods. There is only one God. All are dependent upon Him, but He is not dependent on anybody. He Himself has power over everything. He is far above being the progeny of anybody or having any offspring. He is such a unique being that there is nobody like Him or equal to Him in any manner whatsoever. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9SWqqZ-1Ke9cps.html

@@Trailblazer_music yeah religion is for the intellectually infantile. People who in this day and age cling to religious believe cannot penetrate the deeper layers of the inner and outer universes. Literalism is the bane of the psychologically immature and the modern day followers of those abrahamic abominations are really the lowest of the lowest. A grotesque product of the age of darkness we live in currently. Let me break it down for you so there might be some light in the void of you mind. What the ancient peoples called gods are forces that are the foundation of the living reality we all share. If you believe in them or not doesnt really matter, do you think the sun cares what you believe, or the wind or the rain? The gods are just isolated aspects of the ONE LIFE. This ONE UNIVERSAL LIFE INTELLIGENCE was called GOD as an abstract concept like you would call a collection of trees a forest. But somone who knows the forest intimately knows the specific type of trees, their function and character and knows how to interact with them... Monotheistic religion has nothing to do with ancient spiritual science, it is just an ideological tool to controll large amounts of people, through fear guilt and shame. That is why they are so hatefull and intolerant, that is why they have so much blood on their hands.

@@Trailblazer_music here is the thing african spirituality and Native American spirituality is more based in science than the abrahamic belief. The ancient belief system tapped into vibration and frequency, harnessing the elements duality etc. If you believe everybody is of god and is an expression of god you would look at life and go about it differently. Than a person who don’t think they’re god at all but don’t necessarily think other life forms are as important. Only think god chose them as the chosen and was told to worship said god by the government and powers at be. Thats two different mindsets. I also don’t believe in Abrahamic religions because everytime the Europeans and Arabs came to conquer the Bible and the Quaran came very soon. They used these books to control people. It’s a reason that mostly everybody is apart of one of 3 abrahamic religions and the world is in shambles. Cause everybody think a flying man from the sky gone save us it’s made us docile and complacent. It’s funny cause in the Bible it says when you kno the truth it a set you free but I guess people never truly read those books

They resisted colonization too....do they behave this way?

Christianity is a PAGAN RELIGION that borrowed a lot of its ideas from the HEBREW TORAH but went into PAGANISM called in Revelation 2:6-15 the NICOLAITAN DOCTRINE of HUMAN SACRIFICE-this whole PRESUMPTION that the MURDER/CRUCIFIXION is "an ordained sacrifice for the PEOPLE & THE NATION"(John 11:47-54)-when th eparables of YEHOSHUAH Himself tell the whole world that IT WAS A MURDER pure and simple, ochestrated by THREE MAIN POWERD who HATE the RIGHTEOUS & WAR against the GOVT of HEAVEN ON EARTH(Daniel 8:23-26); MURDERERS were(Matthew 23:31,33, 35) 1) THE JEWS who accused Him of BLASPHEMY-Luke 22:65-70, 2) By HEROD-who with his great grandfather had tried to MURDER this WOULD-BE-HEIR to the THRONE of JUDAH on which HERODS usurped-Matthew 2 and 3) BY ROME who as PONTIUS PILATE NOTED, accused YEHOSHUAH of TREASON-because He was EHTNRONED as KING OF JUDAH-being the "sone of David"(which He Himself REFUTED-Luke 20:41-44) -in THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY to JERUSALEM. So the APOSTATE RULERS of the JEWS-defended themselves as not being complicit in this PEASANT ENTHRONEMENT, by claiming WE HAVE NO KING but CAESAR-to STOP Rome from taking the little POSITION & POWER(John 11:48) they still held. These THREE POWERS are the SAME thorughout PROPHETIC HISTORY that PERSECUTED the HOLY people and BLASPHEMED the TRUTH-Revelation 17:18-ff called 1)THE DRAGON(Rome=ROMAN CATHOLICISM in terms of religion); 2) THE LEOPARD-LIKE BEAST-Revelation 13:1-5ff; Revelation 17-the BEAST THAT WAS and IS and is YET TO COME=CHARISMATIC CATHOLICISM; Rev 19:18-19; 3) THE FALSE PROPHETS-2 Pet 2:1=Rev 13: IMAGE of the leopardlike beast....In Daniel 2:33 these powers are deonted as IRON(Rome=modern France); MIRY CLAY(modern Dukedom-Edomite/Herodians/Dutch-Jewry); 3) and EPHRAIM(Mizrahi Jewry-Coptic-Monophysite ARAIN & Messianic Jewry), DAN(Denmark)-SECULAR Jewry; BENJAMIN("lion of Judah"-PROTESTANT Jewry)--- According to JOHN in REVELATION, and DANIEL the prophet, these are the POWERS that RULE THE WORLD; ROCKEFELLOW being the ROME-FRANCE and ROTHSCHILD being JEWRY....and it is the way it is according to prophecy. These powers MANUFACTURED an APOSTATE RELIGION and AUTHENTICATED it with TRINIT-ARYAN 2 or 3 God(s)-THEOLOGY since they NEEDED "a father" who would GIVE his "son" as a SACRIFICE arrangement of DEITIES--which is PURELY PAGAN-as can be seen in EZEKIEL 8"14--16 where WOMEN(just like Mary, Magdalene, Saome-WEEP for THEIR mudered SON)-WEEP for TAMMUZ!--so MUCH PAGANISM of the SUN worshippers who FACE EAST on SUN day and WORSHIP the SUN(bright and morning star=Lucifer-Ezekiel 28:12ff=Isaiah 14:13-14!)!-ALL DOCTRINES OF DEVILS cooked in the PHILOSOPHICAL traditions of the GREEKS in Nicea, Chalcedon, Cappadocea-where each could ARGUE for their own BRAND of "religion" that they would use to COLONISE & CONTROL HUMANITY and its RESOURCES through their PAGAN RELIGIONS and DOCTRINES of HUMAN SACRIFICE(Jeremiah 7:31 including KINGS SOLOMON-1 Kings 11=Leviticus 18:21-children passing thru the FIRE for MOLECK(Melek=KING=LUCIFER) & KING AHAZ of JUDAH!) which the JEWS themselves from ABRAHAM-ISAAC story(MICAH 6:6 from 5-8-called the DOCTRINE OF BALAAM casting a STUMBLING BLOCK int he APOSTOLIC TRUE RELIGION-with this PAGAN NICOLAITAN DOCTRINE of HUMAN, CHILD, SELF-SACRIFICE system just like their PAGAN COUNTER PARTS the INCA, AZTEC, MAYA, SUMERIANS, EGYPTIANS, GREEKS, ROMANS-including SELF SACRIFICING SELF as a NUN, MONK, or SOLDIER to be BULLET FODDER who choose the FINEST YOUNG MEN/and now WOMEN of CHILD BEARING AGE to SACRIFICE their FERTILITY to the demons of WAR!-as those-(Gentiles & Canaanites/CAINaanites!-Gen 10:) who SACRIFICE humans sacrifice TO DEVILS-Leviticus 17:7=Deutoronomy 32:17=Psalms 106" 37=2 Chronicles 28:3=1 Corinthians 10:20) had imbibed for many centruies SINCE EGYPT=Psalms ) THEY FOUND NO SUCH PRACTICES in AFRICA, but the COASTAL REGIONS of AFRICA have been since CONTAMINATED with these DOCTRINES OF DEVILS through CHRISTIANITY(Abraham-Isaac rationalization despite Abraham being STOPPED &^ never poffering his son as A SACRIFICE! but was given AN ANIMAL as the APPROPRIATE sacrifice, NOT A HUMAN nor like CAIN brought VENGETABLES!) & LATER ISLAM(EID AL ADHA-Abraham-Isahmael) both of whom practice these THEOLOGY of HUMAN SACRIFICE to "atone for THE PEOPLE & THE NATION-John 11:50" ANYWAY CHRISTIANITY & ISLAM as we KNOW THEM today are AS PAGAN as VODOO, CANDOMBLE, SANTARIA, SANGOMA, NGOM-NGOMI in EA!-VENERATION & CELEBRATION of the DEAD! BANTU peoples of both the NILE(so-called NILE-LOTS and even of CUSHITIC Inter-mariages) NEVER BELIEVED in the HUMAN SACRIFICE doctrines-anyone DYING for ANYONE!lol!!, war was to PROTECT each person HIS WIFE & CHILDREN not to SACRIFICE for anyone else!!, n either did they believe in CELEBRATION or VENERATION of the DEAD hence there is NO TERMINOLOGY for "spirits/ghosts" because SUCH DID NOT EVER EXIST-the DEAD was AS DEAD AS DUST--the REMEMBRANCE of what they were taught by their FOREFATHERS(ancestors-wrongfully ab-USED-was NOT the WORSHIP or VENERATION of the dad but to KEEP THE SAYINGS & CUSTOMS of their DEAD forefathers) AFRICAN BANTU(Nile or otherwise) believed in a NUMERICALLY SINGULAR DEITY=who every African BANTU tribe calls THE CREATOR of the world who created ALL HUMANS & LIFE in the UNIVERSE and THATS THAT!--these CARRIBEAN, JAMAICAN, HAITIAN, SOUTH AFRICAN and EAST AFRICA and WEST AFRICAN COASTAL towns- MAMI(mother) WATA(water)=MAJI(water)-NI(inside)=MERMAIDS(Indian/Arab TRADERS in SARONGS coming out of BOATS with GOODS-bling-beads, mirrors, TO WOW!the natives who SEEMED like FHAL FISH-half MAN/WOMAN because of the HALF FISH=CALOURFUL SARONG-LAPPA-KANGA-LESO)--all these DOCTRINES of THE DEAD as WATER SPIRITS are MANUFACTURED by INDIAN & ARAB Anthropologists, Ethnogrphers and PURE WICCA, MYSTICS, WITCHES & WIZARDS who were known to be EXACTLY THAT in Africa! WITCHCRAFT! and NOT an AFRICAN "religion" as PAGAN CHRISTIANITY & PAGAN ISLAM would have people who follow them BELIEVE!!--SPIRITS were known to be DEMONS malevolent but who could DO GOOD in order to gain HUMAN LOYALTY and therefore they ENSLAVED the HUMANS to them thru GIFTS & HEALING POWERS-but these were known to the WITCHES & WIZRDS who practiced either in their own FAMILIES un-beknown to the rest of the community, as a secret or inthe village where this was accepted or otherwise IN HIDING in FORESTS RIVERS & GROVES--all along KNOWING VERY WELL that they were DOUBLING IN WITCHCRAFT-and that is what it was KNOWN TO BE-WITCHCRAFT and NOT A RELIGION! because they ALL KNEW only ONE DEITY=THE CREATOR, the rest was DOUBLING in something they KNEW TO BE FORBIDDEN!--BANTU African WORLDVIEW was EXACTLY like the HEBREW TORAHS worldview in LEVITICUS to DEUTERONOMY---very little difference, but since TRADING with INDIANS & ARABS they imbibed MORE AND MORE WITCHCRAFT and MYSTICAL IDEOLOGIES that remain TABOO in MOST BANTU AFRICA! TODAY in the NAME Of the WAR FOR THE MIND Of the BANTU AFRICAN where THE PAGANISM of CHRISTIANITY & ISLAM have failed, the SAME POWERS are coming up with these FAKE IDEOLOGIES that African BANTU need to "return to their ANCESTRAL(meaning devil worship as taught by Indian & Arab traders & missionaries of these pagan religions) "rooots/culture" denoted by this VLISCO-BMF-ANKARA fabric-supposed that is "ABOUT BEING BLACK!" LIES-since these are INDONESIAN-DUTCH-FRENCH fabrics for the African-BANTU=CODE NOIR SLAVES!!-so they PEDDLE all these "return to CULTURE" RUBBISH and AFRICANS FOOLED AS ALWAYS by this "social justice/democrazy!" INDOCTRINATION keep buying into!---its TIME Africa used THE KNOWLEDGE IN THE WORLD to UNDERSTAND how they are CONTROLED INDOCTRINATED and FOOLED as FOOLS!thru FAKE "knowledge"!.... AFRICAN BANTU believed in A NUMERICALLY SINGULAR CREATOR of the UNIVERSE as ONE who RULED ALL THINGS-thats IT!-the REST IS INDO-EUROPEAN-ARABIC MYSTICISM and DOCTRINES OF DEVILS! int he NAME of this PAGAN CHRISTIANITY & P:AGAN ISLAM!......they need to GIVE US A BREAK! as there is ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE to LET US KNOW how we are CONTROLLED from ONE PAGANISM to ANOTHER!....BANTU AFRICA is MONOTHEISTIC and definitely NOT some PAGAN TWO-or -THREE TRINIT-ARYAN "GOD(s)"- ONE=1 (cardinal no.)DEITY()&NOT a CREATED being-like fallen Angels or Lucifer!who wants worship ALONE! NOT a creature!-Isaiah 44:8,6(Revelation 1:8); Isaiah 43:10,25(Isaiah 44:6); Isaiah 45:14,18,21-ending; Malachi 2:10=Ephesians 4:4-6 ONE 1-DEITY who IS SPIRIT(John 4:24) who was MANIFEST in ONE BODY(-1 Timothy 3:16--as YEHOSHUAH YE(YAHH=CREATOR-DEITY)-OSHEAH/OSHUAH(deliverer from SIN not human bondage!)-that He created from the beginning-hence creatign humanity in THIS IMAGE-HIS PRIOR IMAGE of manifestation & in a WOMANS WOMB-Hebrews 10:5,10,20-to DWELL IN as NO HUMAN was WORTHY to be a PROPHET in whom He could DWELL(John 2:19=Matthew 26:61=Mark 14:48 EQUATING His HUMAN "BODY" with the TEMPLE BUILDING=just a DWELLING PLACE,1 Corinthians 6:19) and REBUKE the WORLD OF SIN-Ezekeiel 22:30, Isaiah 59:15-16; Isaiah 63:5; Jeremiah 5:1).... so AFRICAN BANTU are CLOSER to the HEBREW(NOT Christian nor Islam nor their THEOLOGIES) WORLDVIEW of the TORAH than these SO-CALLED EUROPEAN JEWISH & ARABIC as well as instigated WITCHCRAFT-RELIGIONS as good as EUROPEAN OR INDIAN or ARABIC WICCA(in Sufism Jainism, Hindu, etcDruids) supposed as "African" religion!! THAT PURE RUBBISH INDOCTRINATION!-this "academics/myustics" as as MISGUIDED as those who are listening to them!

You have not brought anything but primitive reasoning There are Spirits living on earth just as how humans live on earth,some people worship the Orisha spirits as GODS some view them as spiritual forces to aid the Africans while some claim them as our ancestors African spirituality is just as unsure and unreliable as religion,if Spirituality coukd help us then the arab slave masters couldnt conquer us and the European slave masters could conquer us because the ancestors far outnumber both them and us In ETHIOPIA they worship Yahweh as the Creator and believe Yahshua the Messiah and the Arabs and Europeans could not conquer the mighty ETHIOPIANS because El Shaddai Yahweh fights for them It is foolish to go back to witchcraft or idolitry when The African Moses freed us from fear of the gods and ignorance, he brought the Menorah light into the dark world and taught us not to fear the witch doctor or the gods. The gods are unreliable parasites living off our PRAISES and energies, they cant defeat the foreign oppressors but we use them to oppress each other,can we rely on them for rain,food,air,health and victory over terrorist? El Shaddai Yahweh used one man born in africa named moses to defeat all the gods of egypt ,today egypt lies in ruins and shame ,put down that Ank,that is not life ,that is Speculation The Menorah is design to bring light in the world and even the blind can see it,break free from idolitry Thry cannot help themselves and they cannot help us HALLELUYAH means PRAISE Yahweh, dont leave the INSTRUCTIONS of the Holy Scriptures to go and experiment with spirits of darkness and ignorance SHALOM

Just say African. We Americans can sense your distain for us. Instead of trying to live side by side blacks always push racism and hatred for America and our people. If you go “home” to Africa they would hate you. If you think Americans fucked your life up, I can’t wait to see what REAL Africans do to you
