No. Jude 3 holds that the claim Christianity is a white man's religion is historically inaccurate, since the faith took root in Africa centuries before it reached much of Europe, and that following Jesus is not a betrayal of Black identity but is deeply woven into Black history. This is a settled Jude 3 position, not just one scholar's view. The history is clear enough that faithful scholars across the Jude 3 library converge on the same answer, even as they bring different angles to why the question matters and what to do next.

Scripture does not frame the gospel as belonging to any one people or place. Acts 8:26-27 records one of the earliest converts outside Jerusalem: an Ethiopian official reading Isaiah, whom Philip baptizes on the spot. This shows an African believer received into the church in its first generation, not centuries later through colonization.
