Yesterday was a beautiful reminder that food truly is a universal language. We had the privilege of serving Her Excellency, the Swiss High Commissioner Simone Giger and we are sincerely grateful for her warmth, kindness, and appreciation of Ghanaian food. ❤️🇬🇭🇨🇭
Beyond the compliments and smiles, moments like this mean so much because they shine a light on the richness of our culture and the brilliance behind our local dishes. Waakye represents heritage, hard work, flavour, and the stories of generations of Ghanaians who built and preserved this delicacy with pride.
We may serve the plates today, but the credit belongs first to the people and traditions that made waakye what it is. Ghanaian cuisine deserves a place on the global stage, and every moment like this brings us one step closer to that reality.
Thank you again, Your Excellency, for embracing our culture so warmly. And thank you to Ghana, for giving the world flavours powerful enough to travel beyond borders and bring people together. ❤️🫡
“The white man wrote the Bible.”
The Bible was written by ancient Hebrews and first-century Jews living in the Near East, over the course of 15 centuries before the end of the first century in Common Era not by Europeans.
Moses was not European. Isaiah was not European. Paul was a Jewish rabbi trained under Gamaliel. The Gospels emerged from a Jewish messianic movement inside the Roman Empire.
Christianity began in the soil of Israel, not in the courts of Europe. Long before Northern Europe converted, the gospel had already flourished in Africa, in Egypt, Ethiopia, and Carthage.
African bishops defended Nicene orthodoxy centuries before colonialism existed. Historically, the claim collapses under the weight of geography, language, and early church history.
“The Bible was written to make us submit.”
The central narrative of Scripture is not subjugation but liberation. The defining Old Testament event is the Exodus, God delivering slaves from imperial oppression. The prophets confronted kings, rebuked injustice, and denounced exploitation.
When Jesus announced His mission, He read Isaiah: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me… to proclaim liberty to the captives” (Luke 4:18). The early Christians were persecuted precisely because they refused to declare Caesar as Lord.
“Jesus is Lord” was not a slogan of submission to empire; it was a defiant theological claim that undermined it. Yes, Scripture teaches respect for governing authorities (Romans 13), but it also teaches that rulers are accountable to God and that obedience to God comes first (Acts 5:29).
The Bible calls for moral order under God, not racial or imperial servitude.
“Christianity is a social construct.”
Christianity certainly exists within history, but its origin claim is revelation, not invention. The faith centers on the incarnation, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:3–8). The apostles did not gain power from this message; they lost status, suffered persecution, and many were executed.
Social constructs are typically engineered by elites to consolidate control. The early church had no political leverage, no army, no empire, only proclamation and martyrdom. If Christianity were fabricated for dominance, it was an extraordinarily ineffective strategy for its first three centuries.
The colonial argument beneath the statement.
European empires did abuse Christianity. That is historically undeniable. Scripture itself condemns those who use God’s name to exploit others (Ezekiel 34; 2 Peter 2:1–3). But abuse of revelation does not nullify revelation.
The fact that some colonizers twisted the Bible does not mean they authored it. We see historically that:-
- The same Bible used by slaveholders was also used by abolitionists.
- The Exodus narrative fueled freedom movements.
- The doctrine that every human bears the image of God (Genesis 1:26–27) became the moral foundation for human dignity arguments worldwide.
The corruption of a truth does not erase its origin.
The irony of the claim.
If Christianity were merely a European control mechanism, it would be declining where Europeans dominate and thriving where power structures need reinforcement. Instead, Europe is now largely secular, while Christianity is exploding in Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia. The faith has moved southward and eastward, back toward its ancient geographic roots. This is not the pattern of a racial ideology; it is the pattern of a trans-cultural gospel.
Scripture’s own internal witness.
The Bible consistently resists ethnic monopoly. God tells Abraham that all nations will be blessed through his seed (Genesis 12:3).
- The prophets envision worshippers from every tribe and tongue (Isaiah 2:2–4).
- Pentecost reverses Babel by affirming linguistic and ethnic diversity (Acts 2).
- The climax of Scripture is not one race ruling others, but a redeemed multitude from every nation worshipping the Lamb (Revelation 7:9).
Christianity’s trajectory is global inclusion, not racial hierarchy.
The theological core.
At its heart, Christianity proclaims that God entered history in Jesus Christ, bore human sin, and rose from the dead to reconcile humanity to Himself (2 Corinthians 5:19–21). That claim stands or falls on historical resurrection, not on colonial politics. If Christ is risen, Christianity is divine revelation. If He is not, it collapses (1 Corinthians 15:14).
The statement reflects a tactics of misinformation from woke liberals who have made themselves enemies of the cross using colonialism as an excuse, but it misidentifies the source of the problem. Empires abused the teachings of Christianity at times; but Christianity did not originate from these empires.
The gospel predates colonialism, transcends race, confronts injustice, and judges every culture — African, European, or otherwise — under the authority of Christ.
The real question is whether the God who revealed Himself in Israel and in Jesus Christ has spoken.
And that question must be answered not by sociology alone, but by history, Scripture, and the empty tomb.
HAPPY LORD'S DAY.
