Are Africans as into Christianity as African Americans?

Question

If Americans hadn't forced Christianity upon the slaves, would the African American culture we have now, still be practicing their native beliefs?

Answer 1

No one forcing Christianity in Africa? This is one of the reason I do not donate to charities that feed starving Africans - because the majority of hte money goes to CHRISTIAN charities, that then offer free food to the hungry - with a SIDE HELPING OF JESUS.

Christ, if I was starving, Id beleive whatever you told me for a free meal too....

Answer 2

It amazes me how many people falsely believe that Christainity was "brought" from Europeans to Africans. The Bible clearly states the region all of the Scriptural events took place.

Sudan, Ethiopia, and the surrounding area's were always Christian.

Moses was an Egyptian & his wife Ethiopian, The House of David was also African. I could go on and on, but read for yourself if you need proof.

As you become more familiar with your Bible you will notice the regions where most of the events take place are Northern Africa & the so called Middle East.

Answer 3

Christianity can't be forced upon anyone because it is something that is given of God and not man.For Jesus said "..I am the way , the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father , but by me" John 14:6.As a father I love my children so much that their have been times that I have tried to make them be Christians.I have always like every other parent encouraged and used discipline if necessary to help them make good choices.But when it comes to Christianity I can't make or do it for them.All I can do is pray and try and set the best example possible.And yes the people of Africa are just as into Christ as the black and white brothers and sisters are here,for we are all one in Christ Jesus ,"There is neither Jew nor Greek,there is neither bond nor free,there is neither male nor female:for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.And if ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed , and heirs according to the promise."Gal. 3:28-29

Answer 4

Cultures always mix together. People in the Andes mountains of South America have their own version of Christianity in which they combine the ancient Incan symbolism with Catholicism. More towards Africans, in Brazil, they combined their traditional religion of Candomble with Christianity. The result is a strange mix of voodoo and saint worship. My point is that cultures mix easily.

Answer 5

uhhh, yeah?...my parents are from Africa, they are NOT african american and I think they might be even more strict than african americans when it comes to the Bible, since I've noticed that most people here in America only obey what suits them and put aside the commandments they don't like..ex. pre-marital sex, mostly everyone is doing it including those who CLAIM to be Christians

Answer 6

the africans in Africa are a thousandthousand times more devoute than us here in the uninted states.They probably see more miracles and blessings than we do. In general christians outside of America are much much much mor disciplined than the U.S. is.

Answer 7

If we hadn't forced Christianity on them, they still wouldn't have been allowed to practice their rituals. Christians can be very intolerant! See what happens if you try to "sacrifice" a chicken publicly.

Answer 8

The fastest growing area for Christianity is in Africa.

Answer 9

Probably not because Christ could have spoke through some other person to get us to believe in Him! God bless!

Answer 10

Yes, Africa is saturated with Christianity.
