Both Christians and Muslims are the problem for humanity there are killers always violence and destruction
Not going to church has been the best decision I have made in years. To be in a insitutution created by people who are using our offsprings who were born perfectly healthy for experimental medicine. NO NEVER! Africans wake up!
I will re-watch this video, every time someone likes my comment
Well put Maponga. Ba Lesa bachindikwe.
This keeps contradicting himself, these kind of intellectual s are here to make us astray,
I thought that this guy was smart burt after listening to him, I realised that he has a twisted mentality and he needs help.
Believing without understanding is stupidity and ignorant of the highest order mostly religious leaders and their followers
😂😂😂😂 Uncircumcised gentile. Good one Mr. Murara! May we quickly realise who we are and have a unified Africa'
You were born to tell the truth and live it efficiently so on and off the pulpit. You are blessed with so much wisdom. I enjoy listening to you because I learn something and become a better person when applying this truth in my daily life.
Africa is the existence and that is the truth. Religion in general are tyrants hid behind the name of the Creator,the Ultimate Reality. The time has come and it's now,that Africans becomes of themselves and get awoken to resist the European devices ,; the democracy, politics,human rights . If we will know ourselves ,then we will be known .
I am a Christian and will always remain one because I understand the fundamental message of Christianity…Love. No one is forced to be a Christian actually, so there is no need for debates. No one can tell me not to go to Church.

What am I hearing right now? Am I hearing Truth? Am I hearing you say YAH is Masculine and Feminine? masculine and feminine did not start here. It started in the kingdom. We are made in His image male and female HE created both in His own image which is a Spirit.
Tell us gods name….jesus……jesus christ stop it the alphabet dosnt even exist at thntime…ok yahweh..lol
This is a good video and audio. Thanks Joshua Maponga.
For the people who were born in english speaking countries that is GOD'S DOING??? THEREFORE THE NAME JESUS IS EQUAL TO YESHUA. DID GOD MADE A MISTAKE WHEN WE WERE BORN IN THE CARIBBEAN ETC??? YES THE LETTER J CAME LATTER LIKE MANY OTHER THINGS, BUT GOD IS IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING ON EARTH. JOUSHA WE WERE NOT BORN IN AFRICA, WE WERE BORN I TRINIDAD AND WE SPEAK ENGLISH. GOD IS THE CREATOR OF ALL LANGUAGE.
Thank you Dr Maponga
We need him to speak here in this Poisonous environment in America!
How sad, this man read the written word (Bible) 18 times and didn’t encounter the Living word Himself. Next time I encourage you to invite the author, Holy Spirit. He will reveal all things to you. Christ became a stumbling block to the Jew and foolishness to the Greek (the Greeks were great scholars, intellectuals…just like this man). Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. 1 Corinthians 1:27
But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means. 1 Corinthians 2:14
I pray that one day you will encounter the Living God.
The thumbnail shows something else and the video is as old as hell. So, I assume you to be the church of tricks, right?
I believe in African God .through Johane Masowe
Every time I learn something from this soul
But where is the Black man's culture in all these conversations. We hear only of biblical quotations, biblical figures and beliefs. What about our culture which is superior to what's written in the bible? No single quotation from any past African? ZERO like Africans were not the 1st to exist on this Earth. Not even a decent comparison. Maponga may not believe in church dogmas but in all his conversations he expresses some love for the bible. Is it because of the remnants of colonial indoctrination?
Powerful stuff this is the real presentation
Why the name Joshua? Thts a Christian name….
Well for your information God's name is I AM
It's because you're not of his sheep which is why you're here lying
So glad this spirit has thrown religion church Jesus and all that garbage in the toilet…
I'm also glad he had the balls to own up to
That he was on the wrong path….. much respect Zulu King…….
Well that's true Dr.Mobanga l m watching all ways my brother in the spirit from Namibia
Thank you sir l agree with you
You are a fool…
The building church People go as they look at how they have dressed
23:49 😂😂 God must be gay.
I often wonder why he quotes the bible he condemns.
See, that's the true Gospel, without the filler(leven)
How do three men sitting in one room end up with a child😂
He can't help us all but he did to me today
Why go to church when I can receive my blessings naturally and not also fret if I'm being hoodwinked, also I was told that you don't know where your income is actually going when they ask for so-called helpful payments.
The debate should never be about attacking people's faith. It is about understanding how religion was sometimes used alongside colonial power to reshape African identity and institutions. Joshua Maponga raises uncomfortable questions, and Africa must be mature enough to examine its history without fear.
The real man in African awakening and awareness
With him until polygamy, can never get behind that unless the man is also happy for her to be with other men lol. Amazing video, I love that we are opening the bible beyond religion
I'm just starting but the initial argument is stupid. All languages evolved and came into existence at some point.
Does that mean that the names of gods in those languages are irrelevant?
Can someone bring me back here
This is great man who comforts my decisions
Go to your secret place and pray to the FATHER 🙏🏻❤️ Anytime anywhere 🙏🏻❤️
Even the work of the holy spirit is snatched by pastors eg teaching . Rebuking. Reminding all these are the works of the holy spirit.
