Jesus was a Hebrew Israelite hence being the "King of the Jews". The question of what was Jesus nationality is a very easy one to answer. Let's look to the bible. Revelation 1:14: "His head and his hairs were white like wool (black people have wooly hair) as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire"<br />Revelation 1:15: "And his feet like unto fine brass (a golden brown), as if they burned in a furnace (which means golden brown now burned would be very dark brown/black); and his voice as the sound of many waters". <br /><br />The book of Daniel also describes Christ's appearance Daniel 10:6: "His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude."<br /><br />Clearly Jesus according to the bible was black, just like all jews such as Moses and the disciples.

Before Jesus, what the hell did white people's ancestors worship? Trees, rocks, Odin and Zeus. Before Jesus civilized you you used to kill the disabled, entertain yourself by watching people die, leave the sick on the streets, mistreat and sometimes sacrifice people to your gods. You know some of the types of things you call savagery of people with more melanin. All people's ancestors have sinned against God with foolish idolatry until He chose Abraham, even the white people. Do not be surprised if God burns your countries with fire and brimstone for apostatizing from the faith. He certainly punished the Hebrews who He called His children. At least other sinners don't claim to be Jesus' favorites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159579060332591141.post-30554624387020281152016-02-09T14:21:43.184-05:002016-02-09T14:21:43.184-05:00I don't believe in Jesus.I don't believe in Jesus.

I am a black pastor of an incredible multiracial and multicultural church (including some one who came out of the movement that "Anonymous" is probably a part of called the Israelite Identity). Tia, I appreciate your candor and willingness to tackle some of the sacred cows of Christendom. As far as people like anonymous go, it is probably not a wise use of time to attempt to make them see a different perspective.

The church has a long history of portraying Jesus in a certain way, a longstanding tradition. The fact that now there are all these people trying to alter that is an attack on tradition, which is really an attack on the church at large.

The physical exterior depicted in art is rarely ever trying to reflect an actual physical exterior, but an abstract or spiritual interior. So is the case when artists choose to portray jesus as black, or in some other unfamiliar, slightly uncomfortable light that is foreign to popular society at large. The contention is not "Jesus was an African man," the message often relays that Jesus represents all people who have been oppressed, suffered, and outcasted-whether they be men, women, jews, arabs, blacks, whites, hispanics, or asians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159579060332591141.post-48736093112473037222007-06-29T16:42:00.000-04:002007-06-29T16:42:00.000-04:00Wow.

I didn't do it because I am ashamed. I did it because I don't have a blog or a website to sign in with. My name is Paul, originally from Oklahoma, and I came across this blog when I googled the topic of Jesus' race. Your below the belt assertions that I somehow support the KKK only prove you don't have good reading comprehension skills (Tia Lynn and Maura), which would explain your simplistic views of scripture. I clearly stated: <BR/><BR/>"I'm not a "racist." I don't think we should wipe out black races. Since we are under the new covenant, genocide is no longer allowable..."<BR/><BR/>All of your indignant reactions just further prove your post-modern PC brainwashed upbringings. <BR/><BR/>Saying darker skinned people exist a result of a curse that still hovers over them even today, will offend some, but that doesn't change the fact that it is true. Even MARISSA (there I spelled it right, your majesty) acknowledged blacks came as a result of the tower of babel and the flood---two punishments (aka curses) from God!! I didn't say that other races couldn't be saved, or that they should be discriminated against, it just makes a mockery out God's Word to portray Jesus as black or dark skinned when those people groups at the time of Christ were shunned pagans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159579060332591141.post-14983369318371430302007-06-27T13:02:00.000-04:002007-06-27T13:02:00.000-04:00I applaud the responses to anonymous.

A lot of their suffering also results not only from their sin, but from the hand of the rich industrialized nations that keep the poorest countries in interest-clad debts (which leave no money for healthcare or education) and establish trade laws that keep Africans from fairly profiting off their agriculture. People like Annonymous can think as highly as they want about their "curse-free" white skin, but in the end, whatever we neglect to do unto the least of these, we neglect to do unto Jesus Himself.Tia Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131181929874342944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159579060332591141.post-49165968339712908332007-06-23T18:03:00.000-04:002007-06-23T18:03:00.000-04:00Well I must say one last thing on this topic. God...Well I must say one last thing on this topic. God uses the humble to shame the wise. Jesus was a descended from Rahab a prostitute, and David an adulterer and murderer, yet friend of God. The gentiles who were not Gods' chosen people were redeemed and adopted as heirs to the riches and glory of heaven. Moses a man who could not speak eloquently was used to lead. There were people groups cursed by God, but not because of their race. I absolutely do not believe in different races, only people groups. My mother is puerto rican, which is a mix of black island people that mixed with people from spain who explored and settled the island. Her father looks like a black man, my father's father was a full fledged German, who married a dutch, I ask you what RACE am I? Hispanic,? Black?, White? Egypt, Rome, Germany were all "cursed" if you ask me, and besides our thoughts are not his thoughts, our ways are not his ways, we in our arrogance think that as believers we are the blessed ones, yet I wonder what the lord thinks of our righteousness. In Africa where the land and people are "cursed", the believers there live a christian walk that I can only hope to aspire to. The people see miracles, love the lord with all their might, because that is all they have to give. I am humbled by their devotion to the same God that I claim to love. These people are truly the blessed ones. In so many of these so called cursed lands the believers there are more of what I long to be,and they ravish the heart of God. Yes they pay consequences for their sin, and that has resulted in the wars and genocides of these lands, and their lack of godliness has produced misery,but I tell you the truth when I say that the throne of God will be surrounded by these "cursed" people of a "different" race, because they are the ones who understand and live out what the scripture says " Christ in me is to live, to die is to gain."Catrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162059403599023123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159579060332591141.post-86448636637700496392007-06-20T12:44:00.000-04:002007-06-20T12:44:00.000-04:00Wow, Tia!
