Oh no you didn't go there.

Do you know Church history? The OLDEST Christian denomination is the Coptic denomination. Where was this?

ETHIOPIA!

The Gospel was being preached in east Africa well before it made it to western Europe. For verification, please go to the Acts of the Apostles.

Saying that Christianity is primarily a "white man's religion" flies in the face of history. That's Farrakhan talking. And it's not true.

We have an elder in our church who moved here from Ethiopia. He has told us many times that the Ethiopian Christians trace their roots back to Phillip and the Ethiopian Eunuch.

But you have to admit rdb3, that for whatever reason Christianity did not spread through Africa as it did in Europe.
