5 Religious Practices Black People Learned During Slavery That We Still Do Today Enslaved Africans were taught to fear and devalue African religious practices. Today, most Black people in the world still don’t seek to inculcate traditional African religions. Today, many Black people use a white image to depict Jesus. Africans who practiced Christianity before slavery used Black images historically to describe their god. So that you do not become corrupt and make for yourselves an idol, an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a woman,Deuteronomy 4:16 They worshiped their idols, which led to their downfall.Psalm 106:36 They sacrificed to false gods, which are not God-- gods they had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your ancestors did not fear.Deuteronomy 32:17 Instead, they mingled among the pagans and adopted their evil customs. Psalm 106:35 They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons.to false gods.Psalm 106:37 If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed.Deuteronomy 8:19 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.Psalm 84:11 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lords will is. Ephesians 5:17 So that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky.Philippians 2:15 My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.Hosea 4:6 My main point here is that if you are the child of God and God is a part of you, the in your imagination God suppose to look like you. And when you accept a picture of the deity assigned to you by another people, you become the spiritual prisoners of that other people.John Henrik Clarke... atlantablackstar/2014/10/06/slave-mentality-5-religious-practices-black-people-learned-slavery-still-today/
