By Helen Long


The ordaining Christ-hood hope among the Christians has been altered to back one side of the current human races. This phenomenon has been achieved through deliberately excluding the African presence in the bible and flooding it entirely with the white race characters. Thus, this has neutered the diversified nature of the Holy Book which was originally purposed to suit a variety of religious deeds. However, various activities have given a hand in illustrating African presence in this book.

Several biblical miniseries have made tireless endeavors to precisely looking the holy book to bring about the actual facts in it. This has been advocated by the current generation which is ever thirsty of a faith rooted in truth. Similarly, it has also been initiated to eradicate the state of being mixed up by a monotony of the tint used to shade the images of the characters used in the biblical scriptures.

Through the archaeological activities related to the Holy Scriptures, the oldest human fossils were discovered in Africa. The continent is also severally mentioned in this holy book more than any other continent. Therefore, the two aspects have clearly manifested in your bible since most events in such a book are perceived to have taken place in it. This is concretely shown by the availability of African terms of nations, tribes or regions.

The first man was described to have a skin hue of black continent by the Hebrews. This has helped illustrate that in ancient times the black people took part in holy scriptural activities basing on such imprints. In addition, the first and second Romans persecuted Christians had their saint pictures painted in black an aspect that vividly showed that there existed African origin saints in the past.

Similarly, according to the table of nations in the book of Genesis, it declares that the three sons of Noah were the progenitor of the present generation. Ham is termed as the African people progenitor basing on the meaning of his name which means burnt and Cush black. Therefore, this lays the foundation for the existence of Africans in both the BC and AD era thus they have taken part in biblical events.

Similarly, the biblical patriarchs most were married or had their children with women from Africa. This aspect has shown the rise of African dominance in scriptures. Therefore, most excluded biblical texts took place in landmass of this black generation. Therefore, their presence in this holy book has a crucial role in the overall theological activities.

Moreover, the earliest church in Antioch was believed to be have founded by the first Christians who were converted in the mission of the seventy-two. The first one being the Ethiopian eunuch, thus he is perceived to have taken a critical part in it. This brought about the diversified composition of the early church was a foresight of God for a reconciled unity of Christians.

Thus, the presence of black people in this bible has helped streamline the humanity redemption through a diversified mode. This diversity of scriptural formulation has out rightly manifested the nature of Supernatural Being which is well accommodated by a blend of a variety of colors, nations, and ethnicity.
