If the Ga, Ewe and Fanti had fought like this, we would have collected our country a century earlier.

These Aryan Caucasian rascals! Pirates and buccaneers and slave traders and oppressors masquerading as missionaries. And worst of all they hoodwinked all of us into believing that a certain blue eyed blonde haired European died for our fvcken sins. And we stupidly believe up till today that someone who wouldn't even make you live a decent life here on earth will show you the way to a so-called heaven they've never been to!
Infact the white man and the Arab man did a freakin fucken good job on the mind of the African.

Our education system is to blame. We have men in coat who have not learned to think. How can we escape from the grips of this colonial indoctrination.

The white man used to but not now. How many white men go to church? Very few. And those who go mostly do so for teasons other than salvation.

@FANKIE. For your information, the Christian faith didn't originate from Europe nor is it a white man's religion. The biblical Jesus Christ was and is not described according to your depiction of Him. Either you are not well informed in the matter you are speaking about or you are being dishonest. First, the Hebrews, among whom Jesus Christ came, were not white. Pls check your facts.They were not distinguishable from the dark skinned Egyptian and Ethiopians. For instance,Joseph, son of Jacob,became ruler of Egypt and married an Egyptian lady, whose decendants went with the Hebrews during the great exodus.Next, Moses, receiver of the Torah was raised in the Palace as "Pharaoh's son",indistinguishable from the ordinary Egyptian, haven been found by Pharaoh's daughter. Even the Hebrews didn't recognise him as one or them, when he defended a brother ,eventually killing an Egyptian(Act 7: 24,28).This was the cause of his escape from Egypt. Added to that, there are a lot of clues and evidence that portray the Hebrews as black.
In New testament times, Jesus Christ grew up in Egypt. The Ethiopian Eunuch(Black man) was returning from worshiping the Hebrew God, Yahweh, met ,was baptised by Philip and went to his country as a Christian. Notice he was worshiping the True God according to the law of Moses, before he received the faith of Jesus Christ. Even the Roman soldier couldn't distinguish Paul(a Hebrew) from an Egyptian man who had recently caused a rebellion in Jerusalem(Act 21:38). In sum, Christianity was first revealed among blacks before making its way to Europe.
Despite all these evidence, it matters not what racial semblance the Saviour chose to reveal Himself, what matters is Salvation through Jesus Christ. Yes, some missionaries, like all men, had their weaknesses overcome them, that does not change the authenticity of the message they brought.The message says, that all men haves sinned and God was in Christ reconciling the world (you and I) to Himself.All who receive Jesus Christ,being Led by the Spirit become children of God.They have eternal life. Those who don't have Jesus Christ stand condemned and will abide eternally separated from God, in Hell. Receive Jesus Christ today!
