I agree I don't believe in African Spirituality either

Leadership could you discuss the topic of initiation school as a Christian. Can Christian send their kids to initiation school? . I would love your view on that

Watched the entire interview when it came out, it was a pain to do so but was supper impressed by Abba’s comment on African Spirituality. Well covered brother 👏🏼

Fundiseka! There is no such a thing called African Spirituality. Ubungoma nobunyanga is not African Spirituality but a form of divinity and healing. These are indigenous healers however in Africa a derogatory terms such as witch doctor was used by missionaries who happen to call theirs sharman to indoctrinate Africans to shun their gift of healing. Bantu keep Usiko( culture and traditions) and these are same if not similar to Judaism. Ubuthakathi (sorcery or witchcraft) is not and never was the so called African Spirituality. Sorcery is the very tool used by God of Israel to create 10 plagues of Egypt that freed the Israelites from bondage.
Today Christians teach our young that Usiko and Ubungoma is witchcraft, truly anyone who forsakes his traditions is a fool.

It's just spirituality and if we are created by GOD then spirituality can't be labeled, it's just what it is so Amlak is right cos I don't even hear you arguing with him ,you're just saying the same thing but in your own words

So all Jesus Yashua is a man christ is a tittle

There are no such thing as African spirituality There are no difference in spirituality spirituality is life there are no difference in life no such thing as a way of life way of life means there are different kinds of life it's only one life

No. Rastafarism is not anything African belief, it is an Abrahamic belief. It believes in the Bible, Jah and Jesus, that is not African.

Christianity is also a foreign tradition based on three amalgamated cultures traditions and beliefs, part of Hebrew(Isreal old traditions) culture and traditions/beliefs based on Old Testament/ 1st century Jewish culture, beliefs and traditions(New Testament) baptism, dressing in long gowns like the clothes either worn by Isreal/Jewish priest and as well ordinary people(by most of the church leaders), breaking of bread, acting like cannibals oretending you are eating flesh and drinking the blood of a God who once walked on earth. The European traditions and culture is very obvious, Chrismas( Solstice celebration of 25 Dec) as the fake birth of God when it was the birth of the Sun. Nicean creed and the adoption of trinity, European decorum in churches, dressing as expected in European business decorum. Worshipping on Sunday rather than on Saturday, allowing the eating of all foods that were traditionally forbidden in Jewish culture and get rid of circumcision because those are foreign in the European culture( Paul was living in a European culture in Turkey that was once a Greek world and later a Roman world). Baptizing babies is European, it is found in the book that did not make it in the Bible, written in the Roman workd ofcourse(anyway all New Testament is written in the Roman world language, Greek), Didache.

Wearing black in funerals is a European thing, white wedding is a European thing, brough to us by Christianity.

So please stop thinking that the traditions of Christians are universal naturally, they were brought to the world through colonialisation conquer of most of the world.
Crusedars and colonialisation used violence and deceit in introducing Christianity in the world.

First you need to define what spirituality is. Oxford’s definition is: the quality of been concered with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things. Spirit: non-phyisical part of a person which is the seat of emotions and character.

Spirit, soul and spirituality are concepts that can mean anything anyone wants, they are confusing because they are not based on fact.

No one can ever prove that a spirit/soul exist and thus the term spirituality as defined in Oxford dictionary means that one is concerned about something that is not clearly defined, not proven if it exist.

People like to believe without evidence that their body is a container of themselves or something that is really them, that cannot be seen, something that survives death, depending in the culture or tradition that something is either in hevean or hell, been literally burnt, but it is not visible, or enjoying in hevean, having a voice singing for ever.

At the same time the other believes that, that something that cannot be proven survives death and becomes an ancestor, without a body it can either punish you, if you do not slaughtet for it so that it gets blood and say certain words, it sees, hear and can make you lucky, get a job, or can make you suffer, car accident or kill your loved ones.

Another person that, that something when you die,will be survives death and gets re-incernated depending on your level of your spiritual development(woo-woo meaning spiritual), you can either be born a cat, a mouse,a fly or a cow etc.

With what I have explained then both the content maker and Abba are wrong. Spirituality can be defined by who believes it, and those who believe them, i.e Hindu spirituality is different to the indigenous European spirituality(Wickers later labeled Pagans by the arrival of Christianity); Africans witn the belief of amadlozi, what they define as spirituality is different to that of Rastafari of Abba, whereby Selassie is a re-incarnate deity, lion of Judah, even though Ras Haile Selassie explained to the founders of the Rastafari movement that he is a human being not a deity incernate, whose spiituality is based on the teachings of the Coptic Church.

In short Christianity spirituality will also vary and is defferent to that of Muslims, Rastas etc. Jehovah’s Witnesses have a slightly different variation of spirituality from that of Catholicism and other Christianity, so is that of the Mormons and the Scientology.

I have demonstrated that we can put a label on what each person or group believes, because the woo-woo word soul and spirituality is depended on what people believe and they believe differently, therefore they cannot have the same spirituality concepts.

So much attention given to superstition.

Wow… I have written the same thought on my WhatsApp status. I wrote something along the lines of "spirits transcend geographical boundaries." I never thought I would one day agree with Abba.

Spot on. And if there are different ethnic Spiritualites, we do not universal moral laws that can tell us that Slavery or Apartheid was objectively wrong. What if enslaving other people was part of European spirituality.

Spiritual apartheid😂😂😂… I love, love 😂😂😂
