The first thing the enemy tries to attack is the mind and your identity. The devil doesn't want you to know who you are in God.
Iloveme Fortune
Amen. Paul says we are in Christ. So important to know who we are
I've been having trouble with this. What does it mean to "know who you are in God?" Should I picture my identity as if I'm peeping my head into a hole? I don't know a good illustration, sorry.
DairangerSentai7
Are you a born again Christian? Do you understand this terminology?
DairangerSentai7
We are all spiritual disconnected from God at birth... until we are born again. Spiritual born again. It’s something that happens when the Lord gets ahold of you... it happens when you repent of your sin.your fallen self.your sin nature. When you see yourself below a mighty perfect righteous God and give thanks for His only begotten Son Jesus Christ who lay down His own life on the cross, broken and crucified for all sin.
So when we say that we are in Christ it’s confirming our identity spiritually in Almighty God, that His spirit bares witness with our spirit that we are the children of God
Amen. Ephesians 1
I suffered from severe anxiety disorders, hypochondric disorder, severe fear of death and failing in life, social anxieties, depression, gaming addiction, many insecurities, suicidal thoughts, many other problems... hating everyone around me... didn’t want to love anyone........... from the moment I got baptized, I united myself with Christ, every... literally everything I listed above vanished and I was cured of everything. I am a new born christian and I am a living example of proof that I am a witness of a huge miracle that occured in my life.... I feel.... so different inside... in the most positive way possible.....I truly feel alive..... As if I received new life, loving others... watching the trees, the clouds the birds in the sky everything.... I started to see how the natural order is so perfectly and beautifully made........ then sometimes I suddenly get some kind of holy feeling... a warm sweet presence in my soul, feeling God literally, guiding me, giving me signs that I am not alone and that He loves me.... that I don’t have to be scared..... I feel like as a child holding God’s hand.. grabbing it....never wanna let go... I’m not alone.....and then this feeling fades away... and every once in a while it comes back again...... reading the so so perfect Bible as if God is directly talking to me... Everything changed and I started enjoying life again, I pray so hard every day and I thank God every every every every day that I can work on my salvation and that I feel His love and Jesus His love every day. The whole world must know. GOD is REAL and He wants you to know Him. Lord Jesus Christ I love you, I cry tears daily, literally daily tears of ultimate joy how grateful I am, nearly even crying writing this, I love you and I’m so grateful..I was lost and then I was found, sweet Lord what have I done to witness this beautiful gift of yours??? what did I do😭😭😭😭... oh Lord Lord Lord thank you I love you, I turn away from my sins, please forgive me❤️❤️ Reader God Bless you, Jesus is the way truth and life please search him, if you want, anything is possible, I will spread this comment as much as I can... to prove people GOD is REAL and ALIVE!!!!!!! Everyone must know!!!! THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!! I LOVE YOU JESUS❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I CANT DESCRIBE IN WORDS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU GOD BLESS EVERYONE❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
(Im from europe sorry for my bad english!!!!)
Josh Nyvox Your English is perfect! I praise God for your salvation
Amazing testimony. Thank you for sharing ,God bless you
Thank you for sharing your story. Great testimony.
God bless you bro! May Jesus bless you and use your testimony for His glory! In Jesus name!
Amen 🙏🏻 rejoicing with you!
It really does amaze me how despite being slaves, being treated like dogs, even being tortured and killed our ancestors trusted in Jesus! The word is surely alive and active. Even though the scriptures were twisted for evil, God's Spirit touched many! Praise God!
Hallelujah!
Spoken like a true brainwashed individual you will flock to your opressors regardless if what he does to you .remind me of what Ramsey Bolton did to Reek
Jesus isn't white to those whom want to believe that,open the Bible up and read it as He is a Jew. He had a bronze to olive complexion. Slave owners were not true Christians, if you act like satan you serve satan.
@bob taylor Jewish Jesus can!! He's not white.
bob taylor Jesus isn’t white tho seem like your the one confused
Religion is what makes people atheist and agnostic or turning to other false doctrines for answers! Once the Body of Christ begins to focus back on direct relationship with God, then we can properly draw souls to Him!
In 1984 ronald reagan, president, was trying to secretly send some 747s to Ethiopia to bring out some Black Jews, when the white folk observed them doing rituals that was written in the Bible, the white folk asked the Ethiopians where did they learn this never having read a Bible, their responce was, it was passed down through generations, that they are the Direct Decendants of SOLOMON.
Most people are atheist because of lack of good evidence for the supernatural. And the lack of need for religion.
Amen
@bob taylor Jesus's Christ is who true Christians follow which is what thre Bible teaches. To be like Christ. Your false doctrine is only to lift yourself up.
bob taylor Dang! You did that😂🙌🏾
At around 22 minutes Preston says that they experienced God which is so important. Sound theology is important but there are people who can quote scripture and don’t have a relationship with God. The heart change is so important. Preston also talks about the importance of a heart change with his wife, Jeanetiks, and Ezekiel in a courtroom skit.
I’d like to add that although the slaves experienced God they also came from Africa and who’s to say that they weren’t exposed to Christianity then and passed it down. As the video says all have a part in the early church.
what's interesting is, in a book I'm reading, "Knowing God" by J.I. Packer, he cited that most people have knowledge ABOUT God, but do not know him. Oftentimes those with limited theology know God, and that is evident in the life they are living.
This conversation brought that idea closer to home for me.
Amen I have always thought the same
Um Preston's wife is actually Jackie Hill Perry.
M.C Déborde I know - that’s what I said. You read the list wrong - honest mistake. There were four people in the skit including his wife, and jeanetiks, and Ezekiel, and Preston. Please reread. Thanks
@@christinarivera3479 yeah I just realized. My bad. Thanks to you too
Experiencing God is important,
Even though the white brothers and sisters had “sound doctrine” every Sunday, it still did not move them to stop treating blacks a certain way. When you experience God and know him intuitively you just know in your heart basic laws of love
I am white, raised in an all white church, and I say Amen to that brother! I've seen enough hipocracy to make me sick to my stomach. I've talked to older white people about how blacks were treated, and even to a lesser degree, today as well. And I keep getting the answer....that's just how things were back then!! THAT IS NO EXCUSE!! As Christian's, that way of thinking, which is nothing but evil, should be the farthest thing from your heart! I will never be able to wrap my mind around that way of thinking! At times it has embarrased me to be white! I am only a man, so I have no right to judge, but I'm simply trying to articulate how I feel about this, as a Christian man. THIS DIVISION, THIS UNGODLY DIVISION, MUST STOP!! GOD IS NOT IN IT!!!
Jason Frye I congratulate you on you questioning your elders. The transatlantic slave trade and slavery in America is one of the reasons why I don’t believe in a supernatural god.
@@Bomont756 Thank you Lamont and thank you for your honesty regarding your hesitation to believe in God. But I do challenge you, to not look at the sins of man, to draw your conclusions about the existance of God. There was a time in my life, that I began to question the beliefs of those around me. It was then, that I realized that I had never examined the Bible the way that I should have. So I began to look at scripture more closely, and I began to turn a deaf ear on the beliefs of those around me. By doing this, I came to understand that these people did not have a true relationship with God. The way they believed was plenty of proof of that. Going to church does not make you a Christian. I pray you find him as I did. He is here. You can find him just like I did. Just look for him in the right places. Not in other people. Have a wonderful day brother.
Jason Frye appreciate your words. It sounds like we took a similar journey as far as examining the Bible and not take other people’s words. Just arrived at different conclusions. You have a good day too!
Sam Thelusma:
Who ae these 'so-called' white brothers and sisters with sound doctrine and for who?
Jesus Christ was clear when he stated, "for God so loved the world". That includes every single human being on the planet
@What's Hatnin doesn't sound like you have much faith in the word of God. If that be the case, there's nothing more that needs to be said, because unless you believe the bible is the infallible word of God, than what else is there for you to believe?
@What's Hatnin of course! Why would I want to waste my breath on someone who has no intention on opening up to the things of faith. The Bible clearly states, "we walk by faith, and not by sight. So, it's not me who's running away, but rather I see you as someone who is not willing to be open to the things of God. Without faith it's impossible to please God, but how can you, who does not recognize scripture as truth ever accept the things I say, or anyone else on that matter when it comes to the word of God!? Maybe when you are ready to open up your heart
@What's Hatnin here's the thing, I don't need to prove anything. I believe that God's word is what God says it is. I could if I felt led to go from Gen through Revelation, on how God does not explain himself, He simply declares himself as God. What if those in the Bible felt the same way you do, well then, their accounts would've never been recorded. It's unfortunate you're having such a hard time accepting the declaration of God from the bible, but unless you're able to do that there's no point in going forward with this discussion. Have a great day
@@thetruth8245
Jesus also said "leave them, they are blind leading the blind" when his disciples talked about the pharisees. So it does not seem to be all people.
@@thetruth8245 Christians love to brag about their religion but are too scared to have a debate about what they believe.
Thanks for posting this Preston. I hear this so often from the black community and it's so clear in scripture and history that this idea is false. It really breaks my heart. But I'm encouraged even more to start my channel. I really want women in our community to have an opportunity to connect with the God of the Bible. Keep me in prayer, bro.
Jamie J. Edwards the men are the ones that really need God they are the ones that’s not in the home not having a foundation and life all purpose.
Interesting perspective, but I don't think you can say that as a fact. Statistically women and men, especially millennials are being drawn away or deterred from Christianity with the rise of the New Age, Black Hebrew Israelites, Egyptology, etc. Majority of my female friends aren't followers of Jesus. So, while I definitely pray that men have opportunities for discipleship, I'm not foolish to believe that there aren't many women who need to hear the Gospel as well. Much Grace and peace bro.
Jamie J. Edwards do your thing girl!
Awe I love that you actually ended up making a channel!! Good for you Jamie! I'll head over and watch some of your videos. I agree. Everyone needs salvation, but if you want to focus on women, then do what God has called you to do :) I'll pray for you right now!
@@JamieJEdwards Don't forget about Islam. They are very dangerous too. They are deceiving and persecuting many Christians around the world.
I haven’t seen the vid yet but I’ll start off by saying.. NO. Everything in the Bible from what I’ve read so far originated in North Africa or the Middle East
And not only that but Christ died for ALL of our sins, not just white people or Asian people or African people.
Name of second background song please??God bless you family 🙏🏾💯🙂
U dont know wat u talking about
How do you know that jesus died for your sins?
@@prophetofanu8933 If you're asking this question generally to Christians, I'd like to start by saying that the reason I believe that anything Jesus says is true is because all that he has ever said has and will come to pass... So when he says in his word(the Bible)that we should confess our sins to him and we'll be forgiven, I believe it because I know he doesn't lie. I also believe it because his death and resurrection was a sacrifice he made to save all of humanity from sin, so if he was willing to suffer and die because of my sins, I'm very sure he'll be willing to forgive me when I do sin and repent... I hope this answers your question 🙂, have a nice day✨!
@@oluwayoyinsayomibamidele hey man u are a african u need to snap out of it they using the bible to steal land and resources
A part 2 of this would be appreciated!
Agreed!
God bless these two brothers and all who are watching ♥️
This is such a necessary conversation. Thank you for having it and sharing it Preston.
I really love how informative and thorough his explanations are. And you can back it up with facts for all of those who find comfort in researching on their own 🙌🏾
This was great. I learn more through conversations like this. Thank you and keep going.
Will be looking forward to hearing the podcast
Oh this was great. Such a blessing, I needed that clarification, and would love more. Up North Kingdom I will definitely be checking them out. Love you’re work Preston, love how real and factual you are in your videos.
This was a really dope episode. You asked so many great questions Preston and Trevor your responses were full with so much knowledge and detail. Super great duo! The only thing Preston, the music was really distracting after time 9:58, it wasn't the volume but the type of instrumentals after that time. But other than that, great episode!!
Awesome Convo!
This was a fantastic episode. Going to download the podcast now!
Proud of you guys! So dope - Appreciate your work
Shut up with your lost self. They are not talking Bible they are talking theology. Fake religion. Religion is not even based off of our book. White man mess. Israelite is the main theme in the Bible it's a whole book about Israel who are Israelites according to the flesh...so called black people. So called Jesus was an Israelite.
@Ναζωραῖος it's not a religion unlike Christianity that has a set of beliefs. Gods chosen people are all I. History books, pictures,and a oppressed to this day. People constantly try to make Christianity seem like it's the only correct religion. When Christ never once mentioned to follow any religion. Your downfall is that you obviously need to stop just going off what you hear these real Jews say. And actually start doing the research yourself it's all in the Bible the way officers act towards socalled African Americans. The way blacks act towards their own kind the way blacks believe in religion to be true. Certain roles blacks play in Hollywood movies etc.. you can claim you did research but obviously you haven't because it's not a religion it's a heritage by blood. U like Christianity something anyone can convert to.
@@BlackDaddy Yes Jesus is a Jew and He's not a respecter of persons. The Bible says God came to save all people and your mad because why?
@@brewwwarriorr8753 Jesus Christ came for all, God made all people equal, He doesn't create anyone less then. Gensis 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
@@lucidarose613 umm that scripture proves nothing at all. Nor does that scripture say anything about all people being equal
Great conversation
A lot of black folks need to hear this... especially that hotep/concious movement
Yep, I'm always in the comment sections of those movements, talking about all the influential African Christians in the early Church, refuting their misconceptions, etc
Name of second background song please??God bless you family 🙏🏾💯🙂
Dope Convo!!!
Personally I need a part two, thank you for this, really awesome and educational, God bless you brothers.
Even though I am a black Christian, I've always disagreed with how this question is addressed by the urban apologetic community. We know historically that there's a heavy African presence in the Bible. However, I often feel life like the east African presence is overemphasized. West African people's, which have little to no cultural connection to Egypt, Nubia, or Lybia, were introduced to christianity via the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Africa isn't monolithic in any sense. So I think it would better for us as Africans of the diaspora to simply acknowledge the fact that we recieved the Gospel through a flawed vessel, but the message is true. Love your work bro. Keep it up
@DJ
Did that really happen?
Where is proof for that?
And studies have been held.
Less than 2% of Americans Ancestors today held Slaves.
@DJ Just the way that brother came at you, is evidence of how brainwashed and damaged we have been by the colonial and enslavement process.
So many are still eager to defend white society.
I am having trouble grasping your point.
How and where do you get the idea that West Africans have "little to no cultural connection to Egypt, Nubia or Lybia" ?
There were constant trade routes and trading going on and West Africans migrated there from central and east Africa in the first place.
No continent is monolithic, but there are overarching tendencies and influences on every continent. The whole of Africa has major commonalities in culture and spirituality.
Why would it be better to simply accept what came from a flawed vessel as opposed to getting more knowledge of African Christians and African Christian
culture ?
I put it to you that the message as we got it, has some fatal flaws that are
not there in African Christianity.
@DJ Because they mixed truth with poison.
The struggle continues !
Slavery hurt but it's part of the overall love story.
Love this - a fresh perspective tackling contemporary concerns with christianity in the black community.
I enjoyed this episode, very informative
This is an excellent episode. Kudos!
I wish so badly those constructs and division could be broken and we could all see each other as equals with more or less melanin. God doesn’t look at the outward man, he looks at the heart ❤️
Jesus has broken the chains and I forgive all, but we need to all know truth and why we have this view:
Pope Martin V, Henry the Navigator, Knights Templar, Military Order of Christ and slavery... Various sources....
Pope Martin V authorized a crusade against Africa in 1418 and this coupled with a later bull (1441) sanctioned the Portuguese trade in African slaves.
In March 1425 a bull was issued that threatened excommunication for any Christian slave dealers and ordered Jews to wear a "badge of infamy" to deter, in part, the buying of Christians. Ten black African slaves were presented to Martin in 1441 by Prince Henry of Portugal.
By 1444, a ‘cargo’ of 235 enslaved Africans had been brought to Lagos in Portugal. The Portuguese were using enslaved Africans on sugar plantations in Madeira, a Portuguese island off the west coast of Africa, by 1460. They built the first slave fort in 1481, on the coast of modern Ghana. This was Elmina Castle, the headquarters of the Portuguese slave traders. In the early 17th century, Portugal was a major trader in enslaved Africans. At this time, it held the asiento, or contract, to supply the Spanish colonies with slaves. This meant that as well as buying their own slaves, the Portuguese were buying slaves for Spanish owned plantations. This added to the overall number of slaves which Portuguese ships carried. Records show the total figure to be 4,650,000 enslaved Africans.
On the 18th June 1452, Pope Nicholas V, issues the Papal Bull Dum Diversas, it authorised Alfonso V of Portugal to reduce any “Saracens (Muslims) and pagans and any other unbelievers” to perpetual slavery.
The trade made the shift from Europe to the Americas as a primary destination for slaves around 1518. Prior to this time, slaves were required to pass through Portugal to be taxed before making their way to the Americas.
This formally legitimized the Portuguese slave trade from West Africa, so serving as a major origin point of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. This Papal bull along with the doctrine of discovery and Berlin Scramble for Africa set off the basis of mass genocide, colonialism, destruction, theft of lands, apartheid, racism, segregated, racial inequality for tens of millions of people maybe more, with people still stigmatised, racially abused, police brutalised and mass incarcerated as a result.
Henry the Navigator, has the dubious distinction of being a founder of the Atlantic slave trade. He sponsored Nuno Tristao's exploration of the African coast, and Antao Goncalves's hunting expedition there in 1441. ... Within a few years, Portugal was deeply involved in the slave trade. Henry died in 1460 in Sagres, Portugal.
In 1455, Pope Nicholas V gave Portugal the rights to continue the slave trade in West Africa, under the provision that they convert all people who are enslaved. The Portuguese soon expanded their trade along the whole west coast of Africa. Henry held the monopoly on all expeditions to Africa granted by the crown until his death in 1460..
Through his administrative direction, he is regarded as the main initiator of what would be known as the Age of Discovery.
On 25 May 1420, Henry gained appointment as the Grand Master of the Military Order of Christ, the Portuguese successor to the Knights Templar, which had its headquarters at Tomar, in central Portugal.
The Military Order of Christ (Ordem Militar de Cristo), previously the Order of the Knights of Our Lord Jesus Christ (Ordem dos Cavaleiros de Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo), is the former Knights Templar order as it was reconstituted in Portugal after the Templars were abolished on 22 March 1312 by the papal bull, Vox in excelso, issued by Pope Clement V.
Hebrews 9 v 27 & John 3 v 16. Oh I totally believe Jesus has broken those chains, we just don’t live like He has.
Okay I have noticed a lot of white People are saying what you say is it because we as black People want to see God that walked in the flesh looked like us ? I mean why is it so important to keep telling us not to care how he looked when he walked this earth?? Please answer cause no one will hopefully you will.
G-Ma X I don’t know if this comment is meant for me? And I will be honest I’m not totally sure how to answer. I think people say we shouldn’t care what He looked like because it’s not really the most important thing and what is important is that He is God and that He loves us and died for us so we can know Him and have life. We can speculate he was brown skinned because of the area He was born in, not blue eyes and pale skin like you see in paintings 🙄 but something else on his appearance is Isaiah 53:2 tells us that He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him. And I love that, that He came as a simple man, yet fully God.
Israel Greening Company Dude, have you even watched the video you are commenting on? Seems to me like you are one of the people they are describing in this video who has come from a lot of hurt. I hope you find your way to the truth. You hate me because of the color of my skin and beliefs you’ve based on random out of context verses. But I don’t hate you. Peace and love ✌🏻❤️
I watch these videos all the time. They are solid. Thank you and please keep making stuff. People need this information in this format from normal dudes. God bless you guys. See you later.
Thank for the Awesome commentary!!!
Very informative video bro, would love if you could make more of these type of videos along with your other videos as well. Btw you guys killed it in Cincinnati on the PIA tour!
Might want to cut out the low frequencies. I listened to this with headphones and the wind sounds like an explosion during some parts of the dialogue. Look out for you brother ;)
Good teaching fellas
This was awesome 👏🏾
I appreciate these videos!
I think there are two different understandings of "Christianity". One part being the "White man's religion" referring more so to Catholicism, which is false Christianity. But the other part, being a follower of Christ and his teachings, history will easily reveal that is not a "White man's religion".
@Jonathan Soko Absolutely
@DJ To a fair degree, from what historical records en masse we have you are right, but it does not mean that small penetrations of the gospel had not reached Central/West Africa.
As far as Africa per se it goes like this:
Since the spread of Islam into North Africa, the size of Christian congregations as well as their number was reduced, so that of the original churches only the Eastern Orthodox Church of Alexandria and Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria (which separated from each other during the Chalcedonian Schism) in Egypt and the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in the Horn of Africa remained. Source: Wikipedia.. Christianity in Africa.
A CHRISTIAN ACCOUNT OF THE MUSLIM INVASION OF EGYPT
MUSLIMS ENTER ALEXANDRIA:
"...the Muslims captured the city of Alexandria, and destroyed its walls and burnt many churches with fire and they burnt the church of Saint Mark, which was built by the sea, where his body was laid…"Address of Leader of Muslim Forces, Amr ibn al-Asi, to Benjamin, Patriarch of the Coptic Church in Alexandria.
Taken from History of The Patriarchs of Alexandria, 642, The Internet Medieval Sourcebook.
Between 642 and 670 CE, more Arab invaders poured into Africa and occupied areas known today as Tunisa, Libya, Algeria and Morocco, where they physically eliminated most of the native (Berber) inhabitants. The Berbers that escaped death ran westwards and southwards towards the Sahara. Source: www.modernghana.com/news/249409/arabs-mortal-hatred-and-enslavement-of-the-black-race.html
Muslim Conquest, Crusades and the Roman Catholic Church (7th -13th Century)
After the Arab Muslim conquest of the Middle East and North Africa in the seventh century, Christianity slowly declined in those regions. By the tenth century Christians constituted some ten percent of the population of the Islamic Empire. Into this situation at the end of the eleventh century came the Crusades, which brought with them the Roman Catholic Church. Dominant in the regions of the East Mediterranean where the crusaders established short-lived states, the Roman Catholic Church remained as a minority after the last Crusaders left at the end of the thirteenth century. During the crusader period, in the thirteenth century one group of Eastern Christians, the Maronites, entered in its entirety into communion with Rome. The Maronite Church is the largest Christian group in Lebanon. Source: jmeca.org.uk/christianity-middle-east/history-christianity-middle-east-north-africa
The Muslim conquest of (Christian) North Africa went relatively easily until the native peoples of North Africa (most importantly the Berbers) were encountered west of Egypt. The North African people fought so strongly against the Muslims that the Muslim imperialist, colonialist, bloody conquest in the west was brought to an almost complete stop between Tripoli and Carthage for more than a quarter century. The Muslims broke through in a series of bloody battles followed by bloody (revenge) massacres of the Muslim's (largely Christian) opponents. This Muslim imperialist, colonialist, bloody conquest continued through North Africa and through what is now Spain, Portugal, and southern France, until they were stopped at the battle of Poiters (hardly bloodless) in the middle of France. Source: www1.cbn.com/churchandministry/1400-years-of-christian-islamic-struggle
Muslim conquest of North Africa
The Muslim conquest of North Africa west of Egypt began 647 CE, and was completed for the urban zones and all along the coast by 710. It happened through attack wars, and the Muslims established administrative units. The first stages were during the reign of 3rd Caliph Uthman, whereas firm control was secured during the Umayyad calipate.
The motivation for the conquest seem to have been quite normal. With the exception of Tunisia, the territories of North Africa were politically and military weak, while the Muslim army had great military training allowing easy advances, even if Berbers gave the Muslim Arab army strong resistance. Berber strongholds here were smaller and more in number and belonged to villages and local administrations and its elite could more easily relocate to another place when threatened. When the Muslims started to advance into the heartlands of North Africa, corresponding to modern Tunisia, they could play different small kings up against each other, thereby forming effective alliances. They allied with what appears to have been Kasila, the king of Djedar.
Contrary to what happened in Egypt and the Middle East, Islam here quickly replaced Christianity.
The first goal of the Muslims was to obtain tribute in slaves and recruits for the army from Cyrenaica. Source: i-cias.com/e.o/muslim_conquest_north_africa.htm

@DJ Africans received salvation before Europeans did.
@@broderickbrown6028 The trauma is real but the Apostle Paul says of course the gospel went to the Gentiles. The Levant at the time of Christ was ruled by the Romans and previously before that the Greeks, so it was natural for copies of scripture to have multiplicity in these tongues.
This was really great. Loved the mention of Muslim conquest. Love the description of the real Christianity and historical Jesus.
Thank you for sharing
Good segment, bruhs!
" But they say that its a white mans religion, forced on us by the master the white man invented/
Tell it to the Christians in Ethiopia that never had to be enslaved by the white man to get it". - Bizzle (we here now)

bob taylor
Which ones?
bob taylor
I thought you said they were lying in the video about the facts they were saying
So I was asking which lies, but maybe I misinterpreted you?
bob taylor
Are you an atheist cause they’re definitely telling truths around acts and some other stuff.
bob taylor can clarify what you think is a lie? And if It’s a lie then make the corrections of what you think the truth is ?
Thank you both.. This was a great subject matter
Absolutely. Blessings.
Subscribed to UpNorth Kingdom podcast after this. Very interesting. Blessings.
Me too! Blessings
Kinda lost me when he said “African Americans” played a role in the early church. There was no America.
I caught that too but I think he was just referring to Africans, their ancestors
CHI7Dlike yeah he meant Black people. It’s just a pet peeve of mine. Good message overall tho.
I thought that too at first but when he mentioned Africa's role in the early church ... => fast forward to "America"
Aka he don’t know what he talking about smh
@lil saff21 That part!!!!
YES!!!!
Great discussion.
MAY god bless you brother Perry!🙂. Must feel good walking in your purpose! All praise be to Yaweh!
I wanna know what books he recommends. @boldtv
BIBLE
bible definitely, but theres also the saints words, like Mlk, Spurgeon, John Wesley, and the commentaries on bible hub are good, there under every verse,
The Bible yes, but I think she means sources related to the references to church history being spoken about
I want nothing more than to learn about the history of Christianity. Where do you start though?!? I’d love to become an apologetic. Btw, can’t wait to see the crew in Tampa. Buying my tickets to the show this week.
Eusebius of Caesarea
And yes we need more apologist
Great video! Good to know about History!

Great Video, I think there needs to be more scholarship behind the African history of Christianity, I am from the UK and it is very common to hear black people dismiss christianity as the white man's religion because we do not research and educate, there is just not enough material out there in modern form discussing how we came to christianity through the study of African history and how the wrong form was handed down to us (maybe this info is out there If someone can point me in the right direction so I can learn and share). I was a little disappointed that Preston and our brother didnt address one of the biggest issues with why blacks have been turning away or dismissing the faith and that is the White image of Jesus Christ and the politics behind his name.
I Ama the Jude 3 Project podcast has a lot of information and discussion on this. They also have a curriculum coming out soon too.
@@chattyafro2250 thanks I will search this
There's no politics behind JESUS' NAME. It's people bringing politics to it. I'm a Nigerian from the Yorùbá tribe. We write and pronounce JESUS' NAME in Yorùbá language : JÉSÙ. If we are to transliterate the Hebrew form of JESUS' NAME in Yorùbá language (written and spoken), it will be YÉṢÚÀ. Of course, we speak and use the former because Yorùbá BIBLE was translated from the English BIBLE so JESUS' NAME in Yorùbá language comes through that. Let me shock you further, in Igbo language (Igbo is another tribe from Nigeria), JESUS' NAME is written and spoken as JISOS. Any Igbo Christian that prays or writes in Igbo language will pronounce and write it like that, and GOD have been hearing and answering. Whatever the linguistic form in which JESUS' NAME is spoken or written, it is as potent as ever. I can't count how many miracles that have happened through JESUS' NAME spoken in either Yorùbá or English languages. We often seem to forget that GOD is the ONE WHO created all languages - extant or extinct. Cheers.
not all Hebrews believe the same thing but I do know most Hebrews have an issue with the Church ignoring certain parts of history that should be addressed. Even the bible says the Israelite are beyond the rivers of Ethiopia. and there are great awakenings prophesied in Ezekiel 37 and Isaiah 44
Azaryahu David Yisra’el agreed
Indeed the funny thing is regardless Christ never taught people to follow a set of beliefs better word religion. It's plenty of videos out there that go deep into history on Christianity with a lot of information to prove it has many faults just as well as the other religions do.
So thankful for this video....
Lots of insights in this clip.
Thank you for the education.
That's a good point the jews wouldn't believe Jesus is the son of God because they were teached that you can have no idols and they were strict on that. So he's right some miracles had to happen.
Your thumbnail had me intrigued, but when you guys started talking about Hebrew Israelites and where they find their doctrine I had to tune in. There is Biblical references that I only see as African Americans taking in Deuteronomy 28: 15 - 68 talking about slavery before it even existed? I'm not saying these things in support of Hebrew Israelites, but all I'm saying is if you follow the Old Testament from the beginning and the genealogy you could probably better understand where they're coming from. The first time I came across these verses I wept because of the accuracy of what came to pass when African Americans were slaves. I just don't think this is a mere coincidence, but as a Believer in Christ I love what you guys are doing! Grace and peace fam.
@DJ so are you telling me that when Jesus was being crucified and said in Mark 15:34 AMP
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?"-which is translated, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?" He wasn't referencing Psalms 22:2 ? Now if Psalms is written years before crucifixion even began your claim is irrelevant. All I'm saying is if you have a problem with a text because it predates slavery then my friend you have a problem with the Word of God itself. The disciples even explain how man wrote the Bible, but everything written in it wasn't by man alone, but God as well.
2 Peter 1:16-21 AMP
For we did not follow cleverly devised stories or myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty [His grandeur, His authority, His sovereignty]. [17] For when He was invested with honor and [the radiance of the Shekinah] glory from God the Father, such a voice as this came to Him from the [splendid] Majestic Glory [in the bright cloud that overshadowed Him, saying], "This is My Son, My Beloved Son in whom I am well-pleased and delighted"- [18] and we [actually] heard this voice made from heaven when we were together with Him on the holy mountain. [19] So we have the prophetic word made more certain. You do well to pay [close] attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and light breaks through the gloom and the morning star arises in your hearts. [20] But understand this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of or comes from one's own [personal or special] interpretation, [21] for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
@DJ you're still missing what I'm saying brother. I'm not saying that men didn't write the Bible, what you're misunderstanding is that they were moved by GOD through the Holy Spirit so that no matter of text or prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
@DJ what you don't understand is that the Bible says study to show yourself approved, and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. If you have a problem with the authenticity of the Bible why not try and disprove everything that happened? There's prophecy after prophecy that has been fulfilled and will be fulfilled in later years, but not one person has ever been able to find fault or error in the Bible. Your beliefs are directly correlated to your faith, and whatever you place your faith in is your god. You don't see the wind, but you feels it's presence, you don't see the oxygen, but you know it's there. In the same way you can't see God/Elohim, but his presence has been made known, not only by the manifestation of His Word through His Son Jesus, but also through His Holy Spirit and the testimonies of Believers. So I just encourage you man to work out your own salvation and find out the truth regardless of your own ideologies and preferences. May God richly bless you in Jesus name. Amen.
@DJ man my heart goes out to you brother. You're deceived to where you can't even open your heart up to the truth at hand. There's no point in commenting at this point anymore. I just pray you recieve revelation.
@DJ you’re an unbeliever that hasn’t been born again to be revealed the depths of the scripture. Clearly those who are doers of the word of God are justified by him, studying the word of God you see in fact, that slave masters who oppressed a people could never be deemed righteous in a righteous judge eyes. There deeds weren’t justified, so though they proclaimed their deeds were good to an enslaved people, we know there were not.
Great conversation. It was a great history lesson to allow for empathy when engaging in apologetic endeavors.
I think it is also key to acknowledge man and his sinful nature. I believe acknowledging our enemy who seeks to steal kill and destroy as the behind the scene puppet master who is using racism as a tool to drive his agenda is very important. I don't want us to be so distracted by the flesh and blood representation of what is ultimately a spiritual battle. The enemy is shrewd. By any means necessary he will try to take out all believers and any promise of them walking in their purpose and or their ability to fulfill the great commission. Let us go out and make disciples in all the earth.
Let's go snatch souls out of Hell, for the kingdom of God is at hand.
Love you guys. More ppl need the mind renewing power of Jesus Christ and the ongoing presence and internal salve that is his Holy Spirit .
Love you Bro. Preston. Keep them coming.
Well said. Racism is a trick of the enemy
Blessings brother!!
Not all Hebrews believe that way. There are Hebrew camps that open doors to all races. Just a side note.
You all should look at what's Pastor Dowell has built.
Awesome conversation though
gpman1 i was just about to mention him
Pastor Omar has a great understanding. Hebrew israelites are automatically categorized as cults..hateful..or just not Christ like which i have sometimes recognized but they are not all the same.
czcams.com/video/WbFASRHqWes/video.html
Factssss
I would be concerned, although I do not know of any certainty, that the Christianty that is growing there is the true gospel and, not the Benny Hinn and the likes which, is enticing as they talk about wealth. We support a wonder missionary and his family in Africa who is reaching his own community for Jesus
Happy to find about from this page from a David Wood video!! Apologetics is so important!!
I have a lot of convos with Israelites and this helped me some. Please have more videos of you debating Israelites, it’ll be a good training video.
Where are he getting his facts from? Because I hear a lot of talking but not where he is getting the information from 🤔
stand from the bible and basic history
I suggest Ted Hayes' book, "The Other Side of the Pyramid." Jesus never established a "religion."
speaking on the doctrine of Black Israelites, they aren't much different than from the 5 point Calvinist. its fundamentally the same doctrine as Christian Identity as well, using the same twisted scripture that the Black Israelites do.
Thank you! God bless you and your channel yo keep going strong. Have you done a video about the Hebrew Israelites?
Very gracious discussion.
@bob taylor
What is truth?
@bob taylor your answer is correct but not on point. Jesus is the truth. Walk in this light Bob. I pray that the God of peace will sanctify you wholly in Jesus name. Much love to you and your family. I pray that the peace of God is in your home and that all are safe and secure. Much love.
@bob taylorI don't feel the obligation to prove anything to you beyond my initial exaltation. I will add that Jesus the Messiah is God. Bless your heart for your concern about Christendom and the folly that is so common today that in many ways has made a mockery of the Name of Jesus the King of kings. I pray that you have repented and turned to Jesus in faith, been baptized and received the Holy Spirit and that you are walking in holiness without which noone will see God if you have not done so. I command you to be reconcile to God while it is still called "day". Please put off vain arguing and disputations about the law and genealogies these only engender strife. Bless you and your family. I am praying for you that God will preserve you blameless. Shalom!
Love the content, kill the background music lol
@bob taylor in your mind its a lie! most of our doctrine is from the early church fathers who where Africans
@bob taylor oh and what makes you think i dont read and am unlearned? again thats what your mind is telling you! may i ask you what do you believe or how would you call the communion you're in? there is also part of scripture that says something about pride and fall
@bob taylor that wasnt my question. seems you love to attack people without showing or even telling what position you're in, i cant have a discussion with people who ignore questions and are ranting. have a good day sir!
@bob taylor yeah yeah, its always the fault of others not yours.
@bob taylor how comes the early and most important churchfathers are actually Africans??? again that wasnt my question. man you can either put your cards on the table or dont play at all! because it looks like you love eisegese
Great video, but plz turn the music down a little. It was distracting, or maybe I just have sensory problems lol
I vote for a part 2 too!
Good word gentlemen. Good to say men laying down true knowledge
Bro. This video is SO IMPORTANT!!!! I have been looking! The enemy has used our culture as black/any other people to stop us from coming to Christ. It’s important to know your history, and this video is a blessing. A lot of us don’t actually know these origins, many of us follow the bandwagon.
@Stay Learnin
Stop being ignorant the bible existed before slavery came.And not all whites supported slavery.
@Stay Learnin
Go find book and read.and stop beign delusional. Instead of finding out the truth you choose to believe a lie.
@Stay Learnin
Because you haven't read about it
Stop being ignorant
@Stay Learnin
No
I believe God made them talk
God is above human imagination
@Stay Learnin
God speaks to men He chooses.
He makes them holy for His calling
I want him to go up with some actual intellectual Hebrew Israelite . Will be such a good dialogue !
Me too...but i already know..the. Turnout....im humble...ive been to that land and research for years.....the israelites speak truth ...period
Geno Harris welp we will be waiting 🤷🏽♂️
I love the intro music
I enjoyed listening to you guys and appreciate your teaching. I'm a believer and am thankful to God for opening my eyes and saving me by His mercy and grace through faith. Although I understand what you're trying to explain, I think it's so sad that so many are caught up in race. Personally, I'm just thankful to God for paying my death penalty, clothing me in the righteousness of His Son Jesus, and sealing with His Spirit me until the day of redemption. Praise God! I wish the world would focus on what He did to save us and how to live and be more like Jesus our Lord and Savior.
I'm no Hebrew ISRAELITE, but y'all really just x us out as we always been done, the bible is black history
Being Hebrew Israel is not about being in à camps. Actually the Spirit is revealing people about their identity. You could be one yourself, pray about it.
Yes sir
Ethiopia have a huge play in the early church!
@DJ lies, do you knowwho the queen of Sheba is ? Not only that you make out the Christianity was made by the white man even though it came from the middle East. The first missionary were not white my friend. And what diffrence does it make if it was gave to us by the white man? Does that make it untrue? The bible says go onto ALL nations and preach the gospel! The white man obeyed god and I will do the same. Your argument is invalid becouse jesus was not white himself.
@DJ Question, even if that is the case, does that make Christianity less true ? Your salvation is on the line. And no it's not debatable weather jesus was white or not. All historian scollars would tell your diffrent. The big question Is, did Jesus die on the cross and rise again after 3 days? If he did then it does not matter who brought Christianity to us! And by the way the first people to enslave and take our lands were the muslim Arabs. Look at north Africa, were are the native people ? That happend hundreds of years before the slave trade. Not only that the bible talks about black nations. The great profit Moses, his wife was black. My point is that even if it was given to us by the white man it is irrelevant if the bible is true! Whitch I belive it is. I hope you find the lord my friend.
@DJ wow you have some seriously hatred for god. And I am not going to reply to all that, i dont have time to write a S.A. but I point. Did jesus die on the cross? Any historian scollars, christian scollars, this is indisputable!! If you are genuine, please watch a move cauld "the case for christ" its about a investigative journalist who thought hated christans and set out to disprove jesus dying on the cross. And another point, stop blaming the white man for every wrong doing in your life, its time to take responsibility. If god chose yo spread the gospel though the Europeans then we'll be it. It does not disprove jesus. We have manuscripts with in 60 of jesus death. We have secular historians of the time like, tutuliouse who was not a belive but wrote his account off christ. Dont the the white man get in the way of your salvation! I am praying for you my brother.🙏
@bob taylor Explain how sir
@bob taylor I am a African Christian my friend, do I should not be concerned about my self?
Thank you Terrance Covin and Preston Perry for this needed topic we as Christians need to hear about on the day of Pentecost when all races of people being there and all receiving the Holy Spirit. This makes John 3: 16 true for all believers in all races, "Whosoever Will believe in what Jesus did for us on the Cross.
You have to set the camera settings to matrix metering or just change it to manual focus and pick what you want in focus.
African Americans couldn’t have had a role in the early church in the context in which you are presenting seeing that the Americas weren’t even “discovered” during the development of the early church. But I guess you were intending to say black Africans . Also the passage you used in Acts was referring to Jews who lived in those lands .also I have heard Preston reference interactions with the Israelites but I haven’t been able to find any videos of any interactions. Have you recorded any ? I would be interested to see your argumentation against us on video
I have looked for those videos as well and saw that he has not recorded any, it would be interesting to see a conversation. What bothered me is that these Brothers see their knowledge base as being factual but I am not hearing them cite any sources to go with their arguments.
Just started to watch. Oh my NO is the answer. Jesus came to save the world. All races and also colors.. There is debate that Jesus was of dark skin. Could be.. he lived in an
Area where people mostly have darker skin. Either way, God is not concerned with skin but souls..He made us different at his pleasure and choice..
Keep it up brother.
I LOVE THIS! PREACH MY BROTHERS IN CHRIST!
Please talk with a Hebrew Israelite
Yes please do hopefully he can hear truth not just any Israelite but ones who worship in the Spirit and Truth.
Christ was a black man. Point period. Btw im Mexican so no bias
There is a verse people try to prove that Jesus was black in the verse in Revelation. In regards to his hair, when it refers to wool and snow, it is referring to the colour, not texture. People in the middle east can be very dark. So the verse people quote isn't proof of Jesus being black.
This is an answered prayer
Preston's, I've been following your videos and Love what your doing.
~I'm age 53, and this video enlightened me to this assumption that Christianity is "The white man's religion."
This was my first time hearing that phrase. Never knew people thought that. I do believe that anyone @ anytime can find God (The Alpha/Omega God that is)
without reading or hearing about Him. I assume that's how many, back during times of slavery, found God & by blind faith, followed. 👉 How Abraham found God, without the written word & before Jesus' death...he too followed with that beautiful blind faith! 🍀 This kind of Faith, God counts as Righteousness.
~I believe it still happens today in countries where people are oppressed from the knowledge of God. I've heard of hundreds finding God, without ever hearing or reading the Gospel. Most of them believed after receiving a vision. Years later, after given a bible, they realized it was Jesus they encountered...because His words matched the scriptures!!
~So marvelous how diff the Lord operates, in order to bring any & all to salvation. If some dictator burned every bible & remnant of His Holy word.....it would not stop people from "knowing" God and following Him. HE would make His presence also known toward us without written evidence.
~Continue these great videos Guys! In Christ, there's no racial problem. Pray America's new generation withdraw from digging up new reasons today to continue the hate/racism agenda; stirring up a continuous journey of rascism, division, hate, and conflict again & again & again.
Both sides- Passing that torch on from generation to generation ...
~America, Let it Die folks🤐
Love your videos guys; Keep them going...So informative 😃
There is so much misinformation in this video smh
What parts?
@bob taylor I don't understand? What did he say about Acts 2:5 that is a lie?
Abc there’s honestly a lot. They try to come across as intellectual but to people who know history they just sound, for a lack of better term, dumb and blinded by bias. For example, the guy on the right says that Christianity growth in Africa isn’t directly related to European evangelists then quotes the Bible to validate his point. You can’t use the very source that’s up for debate to prove yourself. The fact is Christianity has ALWAYS come into Africa and taught to our people by an European source. Black Christians love to use Ethiopia as an example to feel better about being a Christian. Ethiopia was just an early adopter of Christianity through the influence of European missionaries, that’s it. Christianity has never been indigenous to Africa and only learned it from others who used it as a tool to invade and control societies. That’s just historical fact, but religious people in general automatically reject any type of facts that goes against their worldview. I just really wish my people would be more open minded and question what they believe in without bias
@bob taylorHello Bob, I'm going to ignore the extremely smug and arrogant personal attacks you made towards me and get straight into my thoughts on this!
Here are my thoughts so far:
The book of acts does state Africans were present at Pentecost. I am not arguing that the bible is correct, true, or historically reliable. I am only describing what the bible says/doesn't say. The bible doesn't say that all men of nations under heaven were present. It also doesn't mention "Nubians" in this section. So yes, it seems the guy on the right is somewhat confused.
Here is the portion regarding Africans:
Acts 2:9-11
"Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,[b] 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs-we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”
(scholars believe acts was written around 70-90 AD)
The other CZcams user Cam says the guy in the video, is trying to come off as an "intellectual." I agree! It sounds like he has no idea what he's talking about! But, being a wannabee intellectual doesn't make everything he's saying false.
Can Bob Taylor or Cam provide evidence for these 2 claims?
1. "The fact is Christianity has ALWAYS come into Africa and taught to our people by an European source."
2. "Ethiopia was just an early adopter of Christianity through the influence of European missionaries, that’s it."
I know Bob Taylor agreed with Cam's comment. Judging by the extreme smugness and arrogance in his comment, he is highly educated and should have no problem giving a scholarly source for these 2 claims.
I will start and you guys can give me your sources.
Christianity was spread to ethiopia by St. Frumentius, (around 300 AD) "A student of philosophy from Tyre." You may not know but Tyre is present day Lebanon. Lebanon isn't europe... it's asia...
What europeans was Frumentius influenced by? If anything he was influenced by St. Athanasius.... Athanasius was from Egypt... Which also isn't Europe.
www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-Frumentius
Christianity attribute the arrival of Christianity in Egypt to St. Mark. Hint: St. Mark was an Asian/Palestinian Jew.
There is no evidence that St. Mark did spread Christianity to Egypt only "tradition." I have no idea who spread Christianity to Egypt. Cam claimed it was Europeans. Can you name the Europeans?
I will repeat this comment towards Cam
@@Cam-bp4gg Hello cam thanks for the examples.
You made two claims that I am having trouble with (I already stated this in my reply to Bob Taylor)
1. "The fact is Christianity has ALWAYS come into Africa and taught to our people by an European source."
2. "Ethiopia was just an early adopter of Christianity through the influence of European missionaries, that’s it."
Can you give a source for these 2 claims. I am unfamiliar with these! It's my understanding that this isn't the case. I'll provide my sources and you can provide yours.
Christianity was spread to ethiopia by St. Frumentius. (around 300 AD) "A student of philosophy from Tyre." Tyre is present day Lebanon. Lebanon isn't europe... it's asia...
What europeans was Frumentius influenced by? If anything he was influenced by St. Athanasius.... Athanasius was an African from Egypt... Which also isn't Europe...
www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-Frumentius
Regardless, Christianity appears to be present in Egypt prior to Ethiopia. Christianity is Egypt is traditionally attributed to St. Mark. St. Mark was an Asian Palestinian Jew. Outside of "tradition" we have no evidence Mark is responsible for spreading Christianity to egypt.
Can you provide a source on who spread Christianity to egypt? You claimed it was a european missionary? Or possibly it was under the influence of european missionaries? Please provide the source thanks!
Is Christianity a white man's religion? Yes, next question.
um no, Black people have representation in the Bible too, Prophet Job was Black, King David and his Wife were Black and King Solomon was Black and others. Hope this Helps
@@bornagainalex2250 It doesn't help me but to each his own. Modern Christianity is for white people, by white people. The western influence on today's Christianity is undeniable. Sharing religious beliefs with white people in western society in the name of "equality" has not led to equal outcomes. Now is Christianity solely to blame for this? Of course not. But in my estimation it has played a factor. It would be foolish of me to disregard someone's religious beliefs. With that being said, I don't believe that Christianity in today's society has been beneficial to black folks as a collective.
@@ihateeverybody3442 It seems it What man does that affects you and not what the bible says. What man does and what bible actually says can vary a lot. Many people in the Bible were black, Samson, King David and his Wife, Solomon and Job etc., God is for all people.
@@bornagainalex2250 Well Sir it is man's responsibility to spread the word of God. So in that regard, all religious beliefs are affected or impacted by man. I would actually argue that I am far less influenced by man regarding religion because I am not a participant. Therefore man has less influence on my beliefs.
@@ihateeverybody3442 I respect your beliefs, all I was trying to point out is that Christianity was never originally a "white man's religion" because it didn't start in Europe nor was adopted by whites in the early beginnings, but it was adopted by Middle Eastern and African countries before ie Britain, France, Germany, etc.,

Bro I love your channel its a good approach non bias 👏 perspective
Taking notes✍🤓
Awesome thanks 👍
Such a great conversation, thank you for sharing such an insightful outlook over a topic that has been sensitive to talk about. I just wanted to point out when Terrance spoke about "Palestinian jews" that the term in itself doesn't exist. the name Palestine was given to the region of Judea by the Romans in 135 AD AFTER Jesus's time on earth, and long after jews started accepting Jesus into their lives. I don't intend on getting stuck on technicalities, it's just that calling jews "Palestinian" has been a part of shaping a false narrative over a long time. however, I really enjoyed the conversation and definitely learned a lot! God bless!
