“ THE VIRGIN MYTH” THE APPROACH: CULTURALLY RELIGIOUS/SPIRITUALLY SCIENTIFICALLY © Fine Ivory Gold Sisters

Cultural Approach Mary, the Mother Of Ayesu (Jesus is the corrupted Greek name of this historical figure) was a black woman. The image on the opposite page is an ancient European replica of: “Our Lady of Czestochowa” painted before the 1 st century. Footnote: “The Africans Who Wrote the Bible” by Nana Banshie Darkwah, PhD--Page "Most African Americans have suspected that Africans wrote the Bible for a long time, but have not had the evidence to back it up," Darkwah says. “That is no longer the case.” _3/ai_ #continue

Religious/Spiritual Approach The 1 st version creates a family unit that is just as dysfunctional as the church unit. The invisible father concept in Christianity is just as misleading and blasphemous. The second image—verified by historians—as the first Madonna and child, is reallllly ancient! For the record--a fellow named ‘Saint’ Ambrose, a former Roman official—who, overnight, became bishop of Milan, literally—put the initial pin on the ‘immaculate conception’ myth via his decree that Mary was a “virgin.” Footnote: Black Madonna and Child of Soweto On the mountain named Montserrat, near Barcelona, in the Catalonia region of Spain, a church now contains a 'miracle- working' statue of the Madonna and Child known as La Moreneta, that is: the dark little one

“The Scientific Approach” Every single human being borne [without exception] into this world today comes here via the- - - womb, abdomen and irrefutably forms into a living, breathing soul with 46 chromosomes, period: 23 from the male and 23 from the female. In vitro fertilization might have been an option if the Romans via—Saint Ambrose had thought of this idea, but he did not and the ‘Church didn’t either. Therefore, the Roman Catholics self- injected spin on spirituality does not hold water, womb nor the whisper of a prayer…. Footnotes:
