Reflection paper on
The African Origins of Humanity, Judaism and Christianity

I will begin to note and look at the creations, African Origins of Humanity, Judaism and Christianity so we can see that they all came from the mother land Africa.
The first civization started in Garden of Eden which is located in Africa which also inclues the Middle East.The bible says that in Gen. 2:10-12 that a river went out of eden to water the garden. The land of Havilah is northeast of Arabia, Havilah was one of sons of Crush. Cush means Ethopia. Havilah is the first land land mentioned in scripture.Gen 2:12{excluding Eden}and Ethopia is the second land, Gen 2:13, 1st Sameuel 15:7 Places Havilah near Egypt.

I would love to here the language of the Hebrew people who where found to be in between modern day Iran and Ethiopia. Which some of this region is called the Middle East today? A term that came from the British. It’s hard to understand why some folk would like to change the boundary and the history of our great continent Africa. Many people think that the Europeans brought Christianity to Africa but this is not true. Even when you look at the Ethiopian eunuch, where is he from Ethiopia? He went back to Ethiopia. The Cyrenaica on the day of Pentecost went back to Libya found in book of Acts 2 on day of Pentecost. (A) {People of color in the bible: volume 1- William Gilbert Emanuel-pg 112} that’s proof enough for me to see that the Pope John Paul did not start Christianity in to Africa.

Egypt is located in Africa. When one look in the bible and read the story of how Moses was born and how he had to go to Pharaoh to speak to him. It all took place in Africa.
Amen. The Nile River is located in Africa. The red sea is located in Africa. . The Euphrates and the Tigris rivers are located in Africa. The Hebrew land mass reached from India to Egypt. The concepts of the Greek language came from Hebrew and Aramaic. There are other creeds that were drafted and crafted by Greek and Latin languages.

The greeks supplied us with the term Ethiopia which means “land of burnt face people” Homeland of the blacks, (1b) {A History and Heritage of African American Churches-L H Whelchel Jr chp 1 pg 1}

In the terms of theological and doctrinal antecedents, Africa is rightly considered the birthplace of the three Abrahamic religions- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This can be seen in the myths and stories of traditional African cultures which existed in some cases thousands of years before the emergence of Judaism. , (1b) {A History and Heritage of African American Churches-L H Whelchel Jr chp 1 pg 8}

African Jews have a long history of residing in Ethiopia. These people are sometimes called Falsahas by other Ethiopians which means “foreigner.” But the name Falasha is considered by them to be derogatory. The Ethiopian Jews refer to themselves as beta Israel or “The House of Israel.” They are phenotypically African (i.e., appearances tending toward black skin, curly hair, and full lips and noses), and it is possible that they are the remnants of the original Jews from the time of Moses.

The great Great Apostle black. Paul was of the tribe of Benjamin (Romans 11:1). It should not be strange therefore to find that he was Black. We saw how all the men in the tribe of Benjamin married black Cannanite women. Let us hear Paul describe himself.

(Philippians 3:4-6) Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law a Pharisee; concerning zeal persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

Paul was so dark in color, that a Roman soldier mistook him for an Egyptian, he had so much Egyptian blood in him that he looked like an Egyptian.
(Acts 21:38) Art though that Egyptian, which before these days’ madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?

Finally we come to Jesus. I am sure you would like to know if He was a person of color. In Europe, many pictures and sculptures of Mary and Jesus are black. Jesus is described in the book of Revelation as being the color of fine brass and his hair being like wool. (1c)(People of Color in the Bible Volume 1-William Gilbert Emanuel)(pg.105)
