In this interview titled Joshua Maponga on Africa and the Bible, Christianity & Western Culture, philosopher, academic, theologian, social commentator and public speaker of note Joshua Marara Maponga III revisits some of his thoughts on how Africa and the Bible relate.
This collection of soundbites from his last interview on Something Nice with Dinano, is a selection of a few clips where he focuses on how Africa and Africans relate to God of the Bible, what informs their spirituality and their connection with their ancestors. He brings forth certain claims on how Africans present themselves before God, saying Africans do not worship ancestors, but they do acknowledge them whenever they pray.
He continues to emphasize his assertion that Africa's relation with God precedes colonization and the advent of christianity, citing different African names for God as a way of showing that these people have been having communion with God.
The Gospel according to Maponga is about Africa and how Africa links with the history of the Bible and in his understanding, Africa plays a significant role in the Bible and prophecy, but because of how the gospel was presented to the continent by the Europeans, these African related truths have been neglected.
Bishop Joshua Maponga says Africans believe in a monotheistic God. Maponga is not only a theologian but is also a prominent commentator on news in South Africa and the African continent.

Joshua Maponga, uuuumm! Having drunk from the well called Ellen White cum SDA, he's become an incurable heretic now taking perversion to another level. The Bible was never about Africans, Euros, Asians, etc. God used whosoever is in there to portray one guy, His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. So this trying to see how you fit in, which prophecy is about your race/tribe, etc is a big miss. JM III is better off using his intellectual prowess, eloquence (which he has in abundance BTW) on pure politics.
Thanks For Sharing also"💖
Hey, wish to assist in a small way, to further and preach mponga gospel. How do i get connection

OK so 6:22 You remember that. You remember selling my people into slavery. The Israelite Jews. OK so those people living in Israel right now. Are those the same people you sold into slavery? Or are those the people you sold them too?
''In our infancy we accepted everything, in our old age we questioned everything, that should be an African saying
This man speaks my language, he speaks to my soul...
When Islam and Christianity went all over the world, people started to die by the millions
“When the Missionaries arrived, the Africans had the land and the Missionaries had the Bible. They taught how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible.” ― Jomo Kenyatta
This assumes that Africans are really stupid.
What a manipulation.
But we Africans we still closing our eyes this false prophets misleading us,
to hell.
@@ophnielserurubelemonaisa8882 Africa should treat Christianity like it is malaria, a deadly disease.
😀😀
And that's the facts.
This brother knows his family tree [chronicles].
God bless his soul!
I'm envious, I can't go beyond my grand father
Africa the land of milk and honey, we are waking up amd there's no stopping us. We will know who we are.
I really thank our ancestors for discovering this land of milk Southern Africa through God of course 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
This man needs to write a doctrine for our future children to come and read it
No body would buy it! Black people don't read much and buy few books. I'm Black and I know that the people don't buy book they don't value knowledge. They value sex.
Yes ooo
For real
He's an idiot with a bandana
Facts 👏🏾 ✨️ 👍🏾 👌🏾
We need wise men like this man in Africa, very brave son of Africa
I can testify,, the older I've gotten I question everything.. Listening to this interview/discussion with Joshua Mopanga has blessed me,, and I give the Most High praise 🙌🏾
Let us continue to ask questions...
Faith is NOT stupid but a servant of knowledge. He speaks my language, thank you
"Come now let us reason together not faith together" i loved tt😊
"Switch On The Lights" This Reminds Me of The Story Told By My Late Mother That One Evening They Were Eating Ripe Guavas Outside The House.The Guavas Were So Sweet that They Decided to Keep Some For The Following Morning.When the Morning Came it was Back to the Guavas.To their Dismay All the Guavas Had Worms.It Dawned to the What They Ate In the Dark the Previous Evening were Guavas Full of Worms.
You have learnt the same lesson twice...don't forget it😁
We😊 as blacks invent religion j
I need this man to be my mentor
He is saying another of things, but akasho ukuthi what is the ne of thise african God
Then you gon be stupid just like him
As for me too he most be my mentor
Wow! I've learnt a lot from this intelligent man. "I won't switch off the lights". Please come and educate some people in Uganda 🇺🇬
Don’t believe this nonsense. If you go, read the Bible, you’d understand it Christianity was in Africa, especially east Africa before it even arrived in Europe.
@@lawbsk1048funny where is the nonsense exactly?
@@piusmuzahura the nonsense of Christianity is a white man religion, or the fact that most of the Bible took place in Africa by Africans
@@lawbsk1048Do your research...Christianity is The Arm of Vatican Enslavement!!
Good enough we have Mzee Magara on bizonto page he teaches the same message to ugandans
Powerful man with Powerful messages
This man is a genius
but lacks wisdom from Above.
@@SOG_COG013 what shows
@@rodrickmadangu6122 Greetings Rodrick, I hope that you are well and saved through JESUS , though I do not get which point your question is based but maybe I can explain further my statement. There are a lot of scholars who uses their knowledge or rather apply their knowledge wrongly. They misquote scriptures to manipulate many, remember the Bible warns us about False Prophets in the last days, yes we were also taught on discerning the spirits and the reason to that was, if we do not have the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD, we might be led astray.
So these people were once the Children of GOD, but due to too much study and information they tend to rely on their wisdom rather than the Wisdom from the HOLY SPIRIT. I have experience something wonderful with the HOLY SPIRIT that even if I do not go to a Bible school, HE teaches Me things which those who went to Bible schools do not know of, that Revelation kind of Dimension. JESUS left Us with the HOLY SPIRIT and the Bible tells Us that HE teaches All, so that is why IAM able to see things differently led by THE HOLY SPIRIT.
The LORD keep You.
@@SOG_COG013 i'll still disagree with you brother simply what maponga is saying is how people are using religion to oppress another race that's my understanding from the context and he has given out examples
@@SOG_COG013 thank you sister. Problem with many African people is they have itchy ears and hearts of stone. Very stiff necked to accept the truth and render all to the Messiah.
Joh what an Intelligent conversation from my African Israelite Brother.. You are indeed a Chosen One... All Praises to The Most High YAH Only.. ❤❤❤
I'm proud that I'm in this level of understanding things .
We blessed for seeing the light.....In Ghana there had been a raise of a group disapproving the Bible,Quran and religion........Rise up Africa
Those two books are more useless than anything else and when you're not careful you will be doomed and a slave to other people
Believe in God and have time for him and he will have time for you too
All the same down here in Togo ! The waking up is continental.
The Bible is the truth you guys are liars
The awakening is on the continent and in the diaspora. ~ from Jamaica 🇯🇲

This is so awesome to watch I’m a Christian and African(Malawian🇲🇼) I am fostered by a white South African lady which I love to bits and I was also raised by my biological parents whom I love so much and thank God for. Being in a white home has made me love my ethnicity and I know that who I am is for a reason, that God did not make a mistake. Ancestry is very important, I find as a Christian it is important to know who you come from because there are many struggles that happen in your life that dates back to a forefather that you now have to deal with (exodus 20:4-5).But also positive things that you get from your forefathers . I will point out that I do not ask my ancestors for help or commit any sacrifices for them because I believe that the only way to God is through Jesus Christ, and that He sent His Holy spirit to guide us.
Well said! IGNORANCE IS A CHOICE!!!!
Special minds, special teachings
😂🤣🤣😂,Which craft not witchcraft.question not noun
Tihihihihiiiii, Kenya loves this dude
Africa loves him...indeed
This man is full of wisdom,....i have been seeking this knowledge desperately
Joshua, JESUS CHRIST is the one and only MEDIATOR. Every knee WILL BOW DOWN TO HIM , THE SON. He is coming back and He will deal with us whether He finds us still here on earth or at the waiting place.
Mr Joshua Maponga nailed it. He spoke about issues that the church is afraid to talk about but its in the bible
Yeah, he is not afraid to say what others are avoiding to say
@@SomethingNicewithDinano Greetings, Greetings, I'm afraid he is too logic rather than Spiritual, to him the HOLY SPIRIT does not exist, many will be lost through such doctrines such as this. Danger of being a scholar without the Baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT, you lose focus. GOD is to help our Generation.

Brother this is nothing but the truth, 100% go a head. Put sense in their head if they csn open their brain to receive. I bless you, and may the Universal Spirit highly use you.
You don't know the truth because if you do, you will know that this guy is lost and has been mislead and brainwashed by philosophers.
Best explained I've every heard.
Right to the facts.
How can you NOT understand?
Read the (OLD) Bible, it's in there.
Thank you Joshua Maponya for your loving knowledge.
He said thank you at the end of his teachings...He's thanking us for accepting the knowledge and I thank him for giving it to me
(speaking for myself ) this wonderful opportunity to hear it..
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
Beautiful teaching. Thank you vaMaponga my elder. We Africans need to wake up from religious psychosis,we're the chosen nation, let's think and act like it.
This teaching is not beautiful Sister, but a scam. May the Lord open your eyes to His Glory

I like your teaching Mr. Maponga!
i 100% agree with this man.
I've always said this. There's a reason God decided Jesus to come from the lineage of David. Even when God blessed people, he said I'll bless you and YOUR GENERATION. It's important to respect your ancestors.
Jesus was invented by the white people… the first slave ship was called Jesus.
@@Bantuqueen01 okay.... that's something I've never heard of....thank you for the knowledge. I read he's actual name wasn't Jesus.... I don't know how or when it changed.....

The Council of Nicaea 325 AD:
Constantine “never acquired a solid theological knowledge” and “depended heavily on his advisers in religious questions” (Catholic Encyclopedia, New Edition, vol. xii, p. 576, passim).
According to Eusebeius (260-339), Constantine noted that among the presbyterian factions “strife had grown so serious, vigorous action was necessary to establish a more religious state”, but he could not bring about a settlement between rival god factions (Life of Constantine, op. cit., pp. 26-8).
His advisers warned him that the presbyters’ religions were “destitute of foundation” and needed official stabilization (ibid.).
Constantine saw in this confused system of fragmented dogmas the opportunity to create a new and combined State religion, neutral in concept, and to protect it by law.
When he conquered the East in 324 he sent his Spanish religious adviser, Osius of Córdoba, to Alexandria with letters to several bishops exhorting them to make peace among themselves.
The mission failed and Constantine, probably at the suggestion of Osius, then issued a decree commanding all presbyters and their subordinates “be mounted on asses, mules and horses belonging to the public, and travel to the city of Nicaea” in the Roman province of Bithynia in Asia Minor.
They were instructed to bring with them the testimonies they orated to the rabble, “bound in leather” for protection during the long journey, and surrender them to Constantine upon arrival in Nicaea (The Catholic Dictionary, Addis and Arnold, 1917, “Council of Nicaea” entry).
👉Jesus Christ was created at the COUNCIL OF NICAEA 325 AD👈 It was this gathering of 318 Presbyters that Christianity was born.
Emperor Constantine had been initiated into the religious order of Sol Invictus, a cult that regarded the SUN as the one and only Supreme God (the other was Mithraism).
It was that infantile body of men who were responsible for the commencement of a new religion 👉“CHRISTIANITY”👈 and the theological creation of 👉“JESUS CHRIST.”👈
Constantine’s intentions at Nicaea was 👉to create an entirely “NEW GOD”👈 for his empire who would unite all religious factions under one deity.
Presbyters were asked to debate and decide who their new god would be…the name of 53 Gods were tabled for discussion.
They balloted for one year and five months to determine the matter. They balloted down to a short list of five prospects; CAESAR, KRISHNA, MITHRA, HORUS, and ZEUS.
Constantine however ruled that the name of Druid god, HESUS (also called ESUS), be joined with the Eastern Saviour god KRISHNA (Krishna is Sanskrit for Christ).
The worship of CHRIST carry the wicked, KUNDALINI SPIRIT, that is upon those that bow down and worship “JESUS CHRIST” in the Christian church, and thus “HESUS KRISHNA” would be the official name of the new….Roman God.
A vote was taken and it was with a majority show of hands (161 to 157), that both divinities become..”ONE GOD.” Because 👉there was no letter “J” in alphabets until around the sixteenth century👈, the name subsequently 👉evolved into “JESUS CHRIST.”👈
@@Bantuqueen01 Thanks Mary..... have a great day 😊😊

@@dude9318we are Africans not Europeans get about it
@@antonybundi4914 Chrisnaity is not a European thing
It originated from the Middle east
Even Ethiopia was a Christian nation before Europe came
So your claim that Christianity is just for Europeans is false

GOD Almighty YAWEH revealed Himself even unto the person who cannot physically read.
GOD Almighty YAWEH is awesome in all the Earth.
What about Yahweh’s father El Elyon, the most high god of Melchizedek?
yahweh is allah spelled in upside down and reverse you can look for yourself
the true name of the Almighty is found in the true 12 tribes, known as the 12 bantu tribes and the language they speak, that is the Bantu language
the words jew and Israel are propagated words in push of a political agenda, hence the reason Revelation speaks of the fake jews
for the true name you look up the channel hosted by an Elder by the name Robert Headley
he speaks not only the origin of names but also the true biblical names of places and the location
I agree mostly with all content but the islam bully part i differ no one is forced into being muslim but those who see sense and reason endorse islam as true religion of God .Learn before rubbishing other ideologies being a good teacher comes from your being a good student.

This was a magnificent interview
Thank you so so much for this message..
Thanks for watching Nelson
He is always on point
Oh my God, I am sooo blessed by listening to this video, what an eye opener.I give glory toGod, may Africa stand and DARE to be A DANIEL in JESUS' NAME
He's Zimbabweean yet at the beginning of the video he basically describes my culture (Zulu down to a T). What I will say is as a Christian, during Catholic services, the names of people who have passed (Saints) are called and asked to intercede while incense is burned at the alter. We have been made to believe we are different but ultimately we're connected. The Yehoshua I pray to had brown skin like me.
Ama Afrika many bhuti...that's why you could relate to his intro. Besides he has Zulu blood...
Every other person in Zimbabwe has Zulu blood.
He described kikuyu in kenya africans are one
What were zulus doing for spiritual ity before Christianity?
My daughter of the Zezuru tribe Zimbabwe was surprised that some of her Zulu friends in South Africa thought Amalobolo were a South African custom. They were blown away when she started to describe how Marooro/Amalobolo is conducted in Zimbabwe. The difference is the same. We are one people divided by the colonial powers into different nationalities.
Let's open our eyes as well as the brains to conserve African culture❤
True Mr Maponga truely awakened brother
The Bible from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22 is a love book for Africa! Isaiah 27:1-6 AMEN. 100% on point brother Maponga.
Amen!
I'm a new Christian
if that was love for africa, why there was a change needed....why slavery happend......
I really love this theological perception
I'm not Christian or African but what this dude is say makes since.
Thanks for your hard work and happy thinking
write a collection of books...for next generation to be informed...For me, you are changing my whole perspective
What an informative man, beautiful content, thank you.
For i have more then one teacher who i am that the light of the world would shine on down brighter onto me as i walk outside like the dimmer light was turned up in the solar system
After a long time watching such powerful leader with clarity, no dual views. Africa needs this rightful leader to make their place free of all kind of mafias

Thanks Mr. Mapunga for such info
This man is genius
Thank you for that message. After I read the Jewish book called The Jewish phenomenon i started to question a lot things about Christianity. Which a lot doesn't make sense.
Absolutely nth makes sense

The introduction says it all who begat who so important if that connection is disrupted like millions of us we become disconned from oursrlves. We must find a way to reconnect so important it must happen at all costs

Even the Bible recognizes that we are part of Abraham and Adam through our ancestors. Amen
Indeed he is a genius of note
Sure my bro, lets keep on keeping it on in all Africa...
Ancestral dna showed that my distant cousins are all in America and Carribean. Mostly 5th cousins and 8th cousins. The most shocking one was discovering James Brown the late American musician, as our 8th cousin. Really shocking.
I'm from Otukpo, Benue state of Nigeria. We are the children of King Odaudu called King David. We are the family of Jesus Christ as recorded in the bible. Every hebrew spoken in the bible is our language verbatim.
Is there anything that can be done to connect you to them physically?
You are no family of Jesus Christ that white Roman demigod... If you mean the original Hebrew/Yahudim man then he is Yahusha.
@Baloyi Hlayisani it's too late. They and their Ashkenazi Jews murdered my senior brother in the South, Texas and murdered my only son, Ella in the east in Maryland. I've finished with them.

In this information age, we can know the truth.
So powerful og we must open our eyes
I always says, Africa 🌍 sz must open 👐 their Eyes 👀👀👀👀, The Newtestament is a rewritten, recopied books from the same Oldtestament but Totally inventory,a GreecoRomans Books 📚 to mislead Blackmmen,Why could Mathew guess and gave us A wrong History of Jesus Family line, and likewise Luke,,,, Mathew 1.16; Luke 3.23 which is which, and no wonder there were two Jesus in prison at the same time,, and the Catholic bishops also Uses his Own son picture 🖼️ to replace Joshua, and since then, the world have been worshiping Italian maffiosa, Alexander Borgia,Oh my Gush
The real Messiah was Yeshua Ben Yehozadake, who Brought our Ancestors from Babylonian Assyrian captivities together with Zerubabel (Sheshbazar) ,Jude gave us a wrong quotes about Moses death ☠️💀,but the was nothing like that, Jude 1.9
Compare to Zechariah 3:1-3
Why have they removed the books of Maccabees, their evil acts against Ancient Mizraims and Ezraims people's of old, The make them to forbidden their Traditional Believe.......,under King Antichus Epiphany the mindman,, When Ptolemy was over Lord in Mizraim ( Egypt) thanks 👍 The truth is in our 💜❤️,,,,,,

goodm my brother thankyou knowledge is power when it is use right and that is why i keep saying our herbs or bush medicine is the greatest cure for human body.
