If the Bible be true, the New Testament differs greatly from the Old Testament in its teachings.
The 39 books of the OT were consolidated in Rome, leaving out a part of Hebrew history “uncanonised”.
Important books are Jubilees, Enoch and Jasher. These might have their errors (translational or human authorship errors), but they contain info about the promised land (sub-Saharan Africa) and its inhabitants.
Christianity is based purely on the NT teachings.
Even references from the OT are only but typological.
The NT has a lot in common with the writings of Flavius Josephus (Jewish Wars, Jewish Antiquities).
Josephus was a Jew (Pharisee, Sadducee, Essene) by descent.
He was later adopted into the imperial family by Vespasian after “correctly predicting” the latter’s ascendence into power, from general to emperor.
The NT was written (mainly) by Titus Flavius, and Jesus is himself.
Christianity has always been a tool of control, as with the case with other religions.
Judaism, derived from the Hebrew culture, added Talmudic practices to it and became a force, especially later in Eastern Europe.
Islam, with the Ottomans and caliphates of the Arab world.
Hence the reason politicians will comfortably use the tool to their advantage; it was designed for that purpose anyway.
Significant Christian themes are submission, obedience to authorities, accepting humiliation and not seeking vengeance.
Christianity was introduced to the continent through schools, hospitals and other social amenities, luring the leaders of the day into conversion.
Later, the colonialists had an easier time dealing with an already brainwashed people.
To date, most sub-Saharan Africans are out of touch with core cultural practices. Christianity has taught them that most of the practices are evil and should be done away with; a softening of the mind towards an acceptance of strange/foreign policy.
Yes, there’s no rapture, no occupying heaven, etc.
