The greatest secret Africa has never told and Christian Europe has been seeking to conceal for the past two thousand years is the African origin of the concepts, doctrines, sacramental practices of religion, and the documents that became the foundations of Christianity in Europe. It was from this fact that the Catholic Church got the Black Madonna, the black mother of Jesus Christ. Further evidence of the African origin of all these is in the Bible and can also be found among the very people Christianity has believed wrote the documents of Bible. Did you know that the names of Abraham, Isaac, Esau, and Jacob were all derived from African tribal words and names? Did you know that th earliest "Hebrew" name for God, Adonai, was derived from an African tribal word? Did you know that the other name of God, Yahweh, was derived from the name of an African tribal God? Did you know that even the word Israel was derived from an African tribal word and that the Bible confirms its African tribal meaning? Did you know that the names of the authors of the Old Testament are not "Hebrew" or "Jewish" names, but transposed African tribal names? Did you know that most "Jewish" people still carry their African tribal names of origin? Christian Europe has never known these because it has never known the African linguistic and cultural side of the biblical story.
