By Helen Long


Truly, the founding beliefs in Christianity realm have been misguided by the current biblical citations which have biased illusions. This has solely being triggered by the ideology of masking the African presence in this holy book and absolutely dominating it with European characters. This is contrary to the multiculturalism nature of the bible which supports a variety of churches and Christ-hood ways. The history and archaeological activities have aided prove the African presence in the bible.

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.

Historical activities have helped shown black existence in such a holy book by discovering the most ancient human relics in Africa. This has directly illustrated that most biblical events took place on the continent. Similarly, the mention of African terms of tribes and nations like Egypt and Ethiopia have also shown that several activities mentioned in the Bible took place in it.

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.

Nevertheless, the first church in Antioch is perceived to be founded by a black individual. This is backed by the first convert in the mission of the seventy-two Christians; who was the Ethiopian eunuch. Therefore, the blend of both the colors in such a Bible text is a surest-fire prove of the plan of God on the vision for the humane kind which is diversified.

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.
