[HUH?]

before the first white man (assuming he knew of Jehovah) ever set foot on Afrika did it's inhabitants understand the literal concept of Jehovah?

The Coptic and Ethiopian Orthodox churches have a history dating back to the apostolic era. Coptic Orthodox tradition holds that it was founded by the Apostle Mark. Ethiopian Orthodox tradition holds that it was founded by the royal official who was baptised by Phillip as recorded in the book of Acts.

Jehovah, or God is the white man's creation. Let me explain
I begin with this:

Akuandemajieuh healed and still heals the sick when asked help; Akuandemajieuh reminds our people of our days of glory as well as past calamities and dangers we face if we don't pay due respect. There are composed lyrics pertaining to Akuandemajieuh. Priests of Akuandemajieuh demand particularly for: respect to parents, elders, and strangers. Every body agrees that Akuandemajieuh truly touches the lives of each and every one of us, the way we plant our crops, bury our dead, defend our land etc in fact AKuandemajieuh is all in all.

Mankind's leaders (Not only the white man but starting from local shrine priests to church ministers and imams etc) have always used the existence of the supernatural to frighten, subdue and command respect from others.
If you can make some one to see you as having greater knowledge of anything (not only God), that person becomes and remains your subject (literally your slave) in as much as that thing is consent.

If you can't refine your own crude, the person who can becomes your master. If you can't make nuclear weapons, he who can becomes your master, if you have explored other planets and I haven't it becomes clear that I have to listen to you when talk of space exploration is consent etc

Plato showed how a hypothesis (h) is supposed to explain the factors 'or save the appearance'. If a fact did not square with a hypothesis then a new hypothesis is needed. The search was always for a bigger, better, more general hypothesis. The ultimate search was for one that explains all(H).H explains all and so destroys h

All over the World you hear tales like that of Akuandemajieuh above. Neo-Platonism was the term invented to produce an all-embracing synthesis of philosophy and religious ideas. From plotlinus there was a complex system at the heart of which was the idea of the one supreme something, which was a force from which goodness emanated. The white man came out with names like God, Jehovah etc

Say oil is discovered on Kenya's backyard for example, the only way Kenya can truly benefit from this is to invest the proceeds in oil exploration technology, to develop it's own refineries owned and run by Kenyans and only then can there be some kind of level playing field, not go chasing Ghost projects with bigger opportunities to embezzle and send back the badly needed cash to the white man. Digression????

Any one reading this with an open mind knows that it is the truth because truth speaks for it’s self

That sounds like science to me.

Anyway, considering the fact that Ethiopian and Coptic churches were founded before western european churches, are they worshipping a white man's God?

[reggie_woic]

if He was a white person's God, wouldn't the whites receive some measure of favor from him - which by the way isn't the case AT ALL??

yes these are old christian religious institutions, but you still haven't mentioned how old they are. I'm willing to bet that their scriptures do not predate the "Book of the Dead". the Coptic and Ethiopian churches are less than 1000 (~452 AD for the Egyptian Coptic church) years old. you mean to tell me that the literal concept of Jehovah existed before then?

we had our own robust religion(s) even though the biased, christian white historians refused to call them so by demeaning them with the title(s) of "Animalism" and "Fetishism"

[kenyajuu]

Jehovah was God of Abraham then Isaac. If anything He was more of Jewish and Arabic God. However, Jesus broke the division between God and us and now the whole world can come to God and start a relationship with Him.
Whitemen (I guess you mean Eurepeans) were pagans all along until later when the Roman Emperor converted to Christianity. So, the whitemen were converted just like Africans were - hakuna mapendeleo!

Like I said, tradition maintains that they were started in first century A.D. by Apostles Mark and the Ethiopian royal official who was baptised by Phillip and according to Acts. The Coptic Orthodox church lists Apostle Mark as their first patriarch starting from 43 A.D. This was before Saul's conversion to Christianity, so technically Africa heard of Jehovah before western Europe.

And by the way the question is "Is Jehovah a white man's God?" lets not divert from that.
