BLACKS IN THE, BIBLE

 What God's Chosen Leaders, Believers, Christians, Sons & Daughters, Can Do To Uncover the Black People In The Bible:

Apostle James R, Winfree, Sr, I Am Mandated By The Lord To Cultivate, Enlighten, Empower, God's Nations Son's And Daughters In His Love. Know this, I'm Not in the Work or Ministry For Any Income, But I am in God's Work and Ministry to hear Him say, Well Done, these are the words I'm wanting to hear.

A Great Falling Away!!!

I am, truly hurting after hearing about how many of our black youth and people of color are leaving the Christian faith, believing and saying there are no people of color in the bible, Satan has deceived and lied to them.

( And so many blacks entertainers and African American rappers are leading massive of people of color into the Muslim and other faiths ).

The Bible is a multicultural book. This statement may sound controversial but archeology, history, and the text prove it to be true. It appears that our faith has been distorted. how can uncovering the black people in the Bible aid us in separation, and division against the sin of evil racism?

Studying the black people in the Bible can open the door to discussions about racial justice and dispel the myth that the Bible is the "white man's book or bible." It is this myth that has kept many people of color from the gospel of Jesus Christ.

By whitewashing the Bible, our pale or white brothers and sisters prevent future generations of color from experiencing the beauty of the biblical text. Black people should know that they have always played a central role in God’s plan for humanity and were not an afterthought of the creator.

If any of you use Biblical images, make sure they are historically accurate not all white.
One of the effects of racism is the whitewashing of history and sadly this has taken place even in our biblical studies.

The Church in Rome show biblical scenes painted by first- and second-century persecuted Christians and their paintings clearly show people of color even revealing a picture of a dark-skinned Christ above the Pope's desks. What would Roman Christians gain from painting these characters black? What did these early Christians know and accept that seems unbelievable today?

I began to research the black people in the Bible because, as an Apostle, my faith is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and His righteousness, On Christ The Solid Rock I stand, All other ground is sinking sand... and I am a person of color, I see that the younger generation is hungry for a faith that is grounded in truth, not tradition. While studying God's Holy Word of Truth, this is just what I found out,

Zephaniah 3:9-11
New King James Version
9
“For then God said, He will restore to the peoples a pure language,
That they all may call on The Name of the Lord,
To serve Him with One Accord.
10
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia
My Worshipers,
The daughter of My Dispersed Ones,
Shall bring My offering.
11
On that day you shall not be shamed for any of your deeds
In which you transgress against Me;
For then I will take away from your midst
Those who rejoice in your pride,
And you shall no longer be haughty
In My holy mountain.

Many of the Hebrew Leaders, Patriarchs married or had children with women from African tribes. Abraham had children with Hagar and Keturah both from African ( Hamitic ) tribes. Moses married Zippora, who was Ethiopian. Jacob had children with two handmaidens from African tribes, and these children became the patriarchs of two tribes of Israel.

This information encouraged me to look deeper into the Bible and Church history. Some may say I don't need to study the black people in the Bible and that color doesn’t matter, but if this is so, why is Jesus painted with blond hair and blue eyes?

( I even heard the rapper ( Busta Rhymes ) say with his own words, that he read the bible and dint see people of color and he turned to the African spiritual Islam Muslim faith and has led his mother, family, and massive of followers to it ).

Why were early pictures of black kings, queens, prophets, saints, biblical characters, and black Madonnas destroyed? Some will say these items were destroyed to protect people from idolatry, but I would argue that this could not have been the case since they were replaced with icons and photos of white saints and Bible characters.

The main reason for studying the black people of color in the Bible is because if we can't accept that our Bible is a multicultural book, how can we accept multicultural believers? It is difficult to see the black people in the Bible because you won’t read the terms black or African but you will read the terms Ethiopians, Cushites, Egyptians, Hebrews, or other tribal terms.

Ethiopia is mentioned 45 times in the Bible; add this to the number of times Egypt is mentioned, and Africa is mentioned more than any other landmass in the Bible. It should also be noted that the "Middle East," including the Holy Land was connected to Africa until 1859 when the Suez Canal was completed and had been referred to as North-East Africa for the majority of modern history.

From Genesis to Revelation there is a great deal of proof that blacks are present throughout the Bible: Psalm 68:31 “Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. Amen.
