    The Arabs have more connection to Christianity than the blacks since Yeshua was a Levantine from the Syrian region and spoke today's Aramaic, the blacks should return to Islam, Protestant Christianity, Evangelical, Anglican, Calvinist,Pentecostal, Baptist, should stop converting blacks to it, There is no mention of the crusades of black people, they were not expelled from Spain, and they are not the French crusaders, and they are not Romans, they have more to do with Islam and Jerusalem

    The blacks must return to their identity in the Arabian Peninsula and South Africa, they were converted to Christianity and then to Judaism, but their original home is from Islam, there is no connection between the blacks and Christianity, and there is no mention of blacks and Christians, the blacks are written in the Old Testament but not in the context that they belong to the Kingdom of Judah and Israel, they are their own kingdom She is from the Arabian Peninsula and King Solomon and King David came from the Arabian Peninsula into Jerusalem, but it does not mean that it belongs to the Kingdom of Judah and Israel, they must go back to the sources

    There is Orthodox Christianity, Catholicism, and Messianic Christian Jews, and there are Arabs who came from a Muslim family dynasty who began to believe in Christianity, and there are other types of Christianity, but Protestant and Reformed Christianity present atheism and heresy in spirituality and with them I agree the least, most of the Slavic peoples are pagans with the Germans

  • @AlfredY-uf2ue

    According to my understanding, the Scots and Irish did not agree with the Catholic Christianity of the British and believed in a different Christianity, but this is just a belief that was taken from them, that Christianity originally came from Syria because Yeshua spoke Aramaic and Roman Latin and spread to white Europe, maybe they drove the blacks to a different Christianity and then with them went against the British who believed in Christianity Catholic, but it's just faith, not race

    The Arabian Peninsula and South Africa were once one continent far from a maritime border, with the kingdom of Abyssinia, Sheba, Hawailah, Damat, the Yemenite kingdom of Hamir, Aramaic Iraq, Arab tribes,The Nabatean Kingdom, very close to each other, This is North Africa - Morocco, Tunisia, Algiers, Tripoli, Libya and Egypt, and this is the Berber tribes who left Islam from the Khuraj and Ibadiya tribes, who are also today in Dubai and the Sultanate of Oman

    My great great grandfather was an Irish convict called Patrick McCarthy. He had been a soldier, but was involved in a mutiny at Gibralter. He was transported to Tasmania where he became a farmer at a place called Hollow Tree where he and his wife, Eleanor (nee Walsh) - also an Irish convict - tried to raise their family in peace. Patrick was murdered by aborigines one summer's evening as he and his wife and small child walked back to their home. Patrick told Eleanor to run for it while he held the attackers off but he was sadly outnumbered as well as being unarmed. Eleanor (also known as Mary) was left with four small children to raise on her own.

    after 800 years of evil and ruinous colonial rule what do you expect.....the country was in a heap.... For a start the so called 1920's famine was limited compared to previous famines. And the problem was fairly quickly solved. Its true the Free State government was embarrassed as they feared the British would use the famine as propaganda and call them unable to rule their own country. The Free State government also practised austerity as the British demanded debt repayments on time. These are the debts the British insisted the Irish government inherit on independence even though the debt was raised by the British themselves. The British wanted to keep Ireland impoverished. Strongly suggest you learn to pronounce Irish words correctly if you want to be credible. You can hardly expect to be taken seriously otherwise.

    I was there on 10/31/2012. I was so excited bc I had seen a show about the castle and had to visit. Honestly, it was disappointing. I'm usually a human ghost detector and didn't feel, see, or hear anything. The only very slight unease I felt was in the Bloody Chaple. Maybe I could've sensed more if Sean, the owner, wasn't trying to push us to buy his CD.

    It should be said that the same system applied in England and to some extent in Scotland. It was instituted in the early 19th century when poor relief was fragmented all over the country with towns and parishes organising it individually. Costs had risen to such an extent it was thought they were becoming unsustainable. To discourage what was seen in modern language "scroungers on the system" they centralised poor relief and made it as unpleasant as possible. I do not know about Ireland but they survived in England until the early 20th century when social reforms made them obsolete.

    Awfully strong men and women who came over to Australia via the penal system. There's a mini series called, Against the Wind, with Jon English and Mary Larkin, you might enjoy it if you haven't already seen it🙏🏽 Would really enjoy hearing your vocals behind all of these stories. Important history with facts that make the connection of migration, personal. They referred to the convict ships as "coffin ships" and quite often loved ones survived the boat trip, in order make it through 7 years of hard labour. ... I discovered recently, the 4000 females that came here, referred to as the "famine orphan girls." 1700 of the allegedly sent to Melbourne, Australia. Thanks for the Inspiration and extra unknown information🙏🏽

    Had no idea St Bridget was baptised by St Patrick😮 Ive made a St Bridgits cross at the local St B catholic church, sold to the local community of Crossley. First Friday of the month they have 8 locals come in and do 15 minutes of fame event in the hall. The local farmers donate potatoes and you can go an hour beforehand and gobble into a baked potato with toppings. People still get married there and have their reception in The Church Hall. It pays off the church bank loan quite well.. I'm not sure whether I mentioned I live in a Irish Settlers Shire. Our town has a massive Folk Festival once a year during Labour Day weekend, 2nd weekend in March. I'm in a beautiful disability choir and we perform there every year. A friend from over here, just came to Ireland and did a tour with Mary Black not so long ago.. we love Ireland. We think we are Australian but our blood tells us we are Irish😂

In 1 year, two rats can produce over a thousand rats by the time they have a couple of litters and their babies have Offspring. Pssst, I Was only just thinking about that Ned Kelly scene a few weeks ago and I started giggling. I'm thinking the English, Irish and Australian's might be the only one to fully appreciated that scene to its full extent.. 🤔🤣

      ​You hit on so many very important and forgotten events that took place, including the 4000 Irish orphans​@@IrishHistorybyFreyaGunhild Around 6 minutes 45, what you are talking about is classed as, the Stolen Generation. Children and infants taken from the first nation people here and many stolen children from Ireland sent here as well. The Catholic Church apologised to the indigenous people here but not sure whether they extended their sorrow towards other countries (with an apology.) It's made it difficult for some people to trace their ancestry.. You are correct about the English, Irish and Indigenous Rangers who did policing at the time. Aboriginals were the best trackers and were made to track their own people. It was a time of, "do as you are told, or get shot yourself!" Eureka Stockade Patrick Sheedy is a really good story to google about a convict. He escaped into free settler after the gold rush and headed to a newly made town of killarney, victoria. He became a landowner and named his property at sheedys lane 'birdhill,' after the property his parents owned in Tipperary Ireland. One of his son's Martin, married a local indigenous girl whom they nicknamed Mammy.. Mammy Sheedy

I have my great great gran's steamer trunk from the journey, and we are so fortunate that the family has been able to keep our farm in Pennsylvania operating since the 1800s. The farmhouse is built around the original cabin, so we have a Lot of history stored there.
