Hey @virshawn, thanks for engaging with my note on #Nostr—I love that you’re all about truth and freedom too! I appreciate your story and the journey it’s taken you on.

I’d like to offer some historical insight to clarify where Christianity comes from, since it’s a passion of mine to educate on this.

Christianity began in the 1st century AD in Judea (modern-day Israel/Palestine) under Roman rule. Jesus, a Jewish teacher born in Bethlehem, preached and was crucified around AD 30-33 in Jerusalem. Its roots are in Judaism, a Middle Eastern faith, not African traditions.

That said, Africa played a huge role early on! The Coptic Church in Egypt started in the 1st century (linked to the apostle Mark), and Ethiopia became a Christian nation by the 4th century. So it’s deeply African in places, but the origin story traces back to Judea.

About the Egyptian/Kemetic connection, some see parallels (like Horus myths), but historians view those as coincidental—Christian teachings differ significantly from ancient Egyptian beliefs on God and the afterlife. No judgment if that’s new to you; history’s full of surprises!

I’m happy to share more resources or discuss—truth is what we’re here for on #Nostr.

What led you to that view?

Looking forward to your thoughts! ⚡️
