If all these ancient African/indigenous religions and their deities were true and from God, how come belief in Jesus has power over them?
Probably because they realized Jesus existed as well.
well.. I personally think people should look more into Templar Knights.
Backstory: Most people think the Templar Knights were just protectors or Christian Pilgrims by the Roman Church. According to the current Templar Knights Grandmaster, that was a cover.
There were hundreds and thousands of pilgims, he states there were originally only 2 knights and eventually went up to 9. So basically, that would be impossible. Their original mission was to go to Solomons Temple and bring back all the knowledge, artifacts, books, scrolls, etc., that were still there.
And basically, they find a lot of things… but they couldn’t understand some of the language. So basically, they go down their own rabbit holes.. except in real life and they become huge. Their beliefs begin to change from all the knowledge they went around and gathered, some from some of the cultures you guys are speaking on now.
Basically, If you know the story, eventually they turn against the church because they didn’t trust them with the knowledge. The knowledge that would literally destroy the church… but it was the truth as they saw it. They withheld information, in which the church charged them for heresy and treason and tried to destroy the Templar Knights.
Some survived though, and they formed different sects in different countries (some that are still around) OR.. they became what some would consider the first FreeMasons (Templar had their own masons.. or builders).
But the knights were still around and reformed eventually. This is all summarized by a Templar Knight Grandmaster
Basically to say… everyone is probably correct in their own way but wrong because a lot of these religions miss details or are shaped for the world at their time/region, but they are essentially trying to say the same thing.
Only reason I looked into the Knights were because they actually existed… biblically and in actual history. They still exist today, and they are taught to remember these histories as they recorded it. They are not a religion or cult.. they have a certain type of christianity, but they don’t oppose anyones religion or belief. They were basically recorders of history, learners, scientists, religious scholars, etc., not just knights. Them going country to country, learning other religions and digging for old artifacts.. they were data collecting and decided that if they told the church certain things, they probably would’ve been killed and information hidden/lost.
According to the current Grandmaster, certain Presidents were Masons, Tesla/Newton/Plato were initiated Templar knights, etc. Just go and look who were Masons first probably, because im not sure if there is actually any written truth to the others being Templar Knights. Listen as to how they got their symbol.. from the actual Grandmaster.
They have slowly been releasing more information about themselves, their written history, and their beliefs
