there’s a common reason why Black Men/African Americans are gravitating towards religions like, NOI, Hebrew Israelites, Kemetic instead of Christianity and I don’t need to spell it out for you
I’m not debating religion anymore because you can believe what you believe blindly I can’t change your mind
But I’m asking why you choose to focus on Egypt to begin with because I doubt you were raised in Egyptian culture or learning about Egypt in schools, etc.... it’s of your own personal interest so what sparked that interest, when and why?
If I’m Christian why dont I need to study Egypt?
Because a simple Bible lesson tells me Egypt is exactly what Gods people were trying to get away from
The exact reason why Egypt is mentioned in the Bible so much is so that we won’t be having conversations like this in 2021
You’re reaching bruh.
I don’t know if you’re trolling or not at this point
Egypt is literally part of one story in 1 out of 66 books in bible
And In it Egypt/pharaoh is shown as the enemy of God and gods people.
The Bible doesn’t show Egypt as a good thing from a religious perspective
Just the idea if Egypt in Judaism/Christianity is synonymous with disobedience/distrust of God
I don’t even know why I’m even telling you this in 2021 assuming you were a Christian before or simply can understand the most basic themes of the Bible
Moreover, from studies that have nothing to do with the Bible we all know ancient Egyptians religion are polytheistic/ multiple Gods and they were worshiping stars, suns, moos etc....and all other types of weird pagan stuff (from a monotheistic Jews/Christian) perspective.
you know all this so why are we having this conversation?
That’s why when someone like MMS tries blending both religions and make them one in the same it’s like I’m reasoning with a child
even though he’s very intelligent he doesn’t understand the most simple message of the Bible
Yes, Egypt is mentioned in Bible stories because it was relevant and influential and powerful at the time in the region/time some of the Bible stories took place
and the Bible is also a historical book of course it’s gonna be true to history/geography/culture of the time. That’s just common sense
You could say the same about all the regions and different cultures that the children of Israel passed throughout throughout the thousands of years Bible history But you don’t go studying their cultures and gods
It’s 2021 now and Egypt religion hasn’t been relevant for thousands of years other than tourism. No new pharaohs, no new pyramids, no language and very few Black Africans are even living there anymore
But you are stuck on Egypt and we all know why.
