Introduction

ALLLLLRRIIGGHHTTTT...
It has been a freaking long time since I posted anything on steemit all I do these days is come look around upvote stuff and sometimes share things...
But hey today I am back and I would like to talk on what the Holy Spirit just laid in my heart as concerns certain posts a friend of my by the name Prince Igwebuike Chike Somtochukwu made recently on his facebook.. So Chike this is for you...

Religious Politics and Jesus

Ahh where do I start OK..
I quite understand why you have animosity towards the Christian religion introduced by our colonial masters and why you think that instead of following their fate we should hold tight to our traditional beliefs and our national heroes who fought to see us liberated from the hold of the "White man" i feel a bit racist typing that.
In a way I think you make a valid point.. I do believe that the religion introduced by our former colonial masters contained a whole lot flaws and errors. The religion they introduced sought to reconcile man back to God but this couldn't be possible because the religion sought to change their ways and not their hearts.. It really wanted to reconcile them back to God but it ended up being just a tool used by the masters to make the people more Co operative and more docile.. I would say it ended up being a political tool to control the hearts and mind of the people..
Over the year religion has been nothing but a tool to hypnotise/control people and we can see this several times throughout the course of history.. Religion was used to start wars, it was seen as an excuse to kill thousands of people in their masses, it was used to fortify alliances and so many other political events. Long story short the religion introduced by our colonial masters to the whole African continent was not true Christianity.

Now it is important thar you follow me closely here because this is where I properly define the christianity Jesus Christ taught us.
As at the time that Christ was born the Jews were under Roman authority in other words they were their colonial masters. Jesus Christ was born into Roman rule. Now the Jews were desperately looking forward to their Messiah who they were expecting to liberate them from Roman oppression. Before Jesus was born history tells us that other people showed up claiming they were the Messiah and that they were the ones who would liberate the Jews but at the end of the day they were all executed by the So when Jesus Christ was professed as the Messiah, a lot of Jews expected that he was the one God would send to liberate them from Roman rule because I mean that was what God use to do with their fore fathers. He would send a judge to liberate them from foreign oppression. But Jesus was not that kind of Messiah. He didn't come to liberate from Roman rule he came to reconcile them back to God. As a matter of fact to show that he did not come to cause a stir, when the Pharisees tried to test him by asking if it was right to pay taxes to the Roman government (by the way the aim of this question was to push Jesus into supporting Roman rule and making him an enemy of the Jews or to have him say things against the Roman government and have them as his enemy) he picked up the coin and said, "whose image is on this coin" and they replied "Caesar's" and then he said "Give unto Caesar what is his and to God what is his". This statement hold so much meaning but because of time I would pin point from it what is relates to this topic. What Jesus was implying by that statement was that he did not come to fight against the roman's. He came so that through him all night be reconciled back to the father. Both Jews and gentiles alike.
You see this is what the religion of the "White man" failed to do. Because of this God himself had to relieve his true nature to the Africans in the form of Jesus Christ. Not just plain Christian religious beliefs, but in the form of Jesus Christ. He ministered to men from this continent and had them tell not just Africans but the whole world the amazing power of Jesus Christ. You see the thing is the religion the "white man" introduced thought the Africans a God they did not know and they sought to make them worship a God they did not believe in. But when God started revealing himself to the African people personally. They began to know who God is and they began to follow him personally.
In conclusion. Jesus Christ was not like other great historical figure who sought to fight against oppression or invent a device that would change the world. He did not come to teach humanity how to be better people or more in tuned with nature. He came as God who died to pay for man's sins and in his sacrifice, bring man back to God and have him reconciled to God forever..
