"Jesus was a Black man who was oppressed by White men"

The New Testament says Jesus had hair white like wool.

 

This is not accurate , the guy who wrote the first gospel didn't spoke Aramaic thus Jesus entered Jerusalem sitting on two donkeys .

 

The verse isn't even referring to Jesus in the flesh but the Ancient of Days (God the father).

That's probably why it says White like wool as God the father is often depicted as an old man. It has to be remembered that the trinity doctrine which decreed that Jesus is God isn't biblical. Christ was officially deified in Christianity at the Council of Nicaea. In the Bible Jesus is said to be the Messiah and the son of God as well his right hand man spiritually but nowhere does it say that seeing Jesus in the flesh is seeing God himself or that Jesus is his father. Plenty of verses show that they are separate entities. The verses in question are metaphorical. They should not be taken literally and should definitely not be cited as a physical description of Jesus of which none exists in the Bible.

 

Yes there is NO description of Jesus and anyone who insistsJesus was black is just lying

 

I consider the question moot since Mary is a figure who represents the constellation Virgo (the Virgin) in a mythical religious tale about a solar hero (Jesus).

 

LOL are you serious, what were white Christians teaching the people when they were holding black folks as slaves and basically wiping out the Native American population.

What were they teaching folks Jesus was?

 

Many were speaking out against slavery at the time. History dude.

 

Bush forced tax payers to give this church over a million dollars in donations

 

it's said when he comes again he will be much different .... so who is to say what he looks like from day to day... that is up to ones imagination... I mean the guy described below sounds like he looks like the devil to me

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation 19:11-16&version=KJV

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

.

 

Who cares it's all based on myths anyway.

 

Slavery lasted for over 200yrs, dude. So they weren't speaking loud enough.

 

Guess that is why many of the States were not slave States because no one was speaking out. You do realize that many of the Framers were not slave owners don't you?

 

Yep. He a nut on every level as well as a bigot.

 

And blacks sold them as slaves at Goree Island.

 

Longer than that, dude. Study your history. Slavery has existed through most of history.

 

Indians were wiped out by small pox.

I don't know of any major religion whose scriptures are against slavery.

Why are you interpreting symbolic visions as literal statements of his views?

Afrocentrists are always trying to claim this.

The Afrocentrist crowd always quote mine out of verses describing symbolic visions and say they are literal descriptions of Jesus.

FALSE!!!!

it says "hair white as wool".

 

A "black God" because God is a black man which is a common belief among Afrocentrists and the Nation of Islam.

Modern human races did not exist during the time period of early human migration, so people looking like Wesley Snipes did not migrate out of Africa. The oldest modern skeleton of a racially black person is about 5,000 years old.

Arabs also didn't exist during the Biblical era. The Arabic language didn't even exist. Jesus likely spoke Aramaic, which considered one of the mother tongues of Arabic.

 

Amazing how many on the political Left try to hijack Jesus, if not the Bible itself.

Nothing in the Bible is against wealth and the Old Testament is full of God rewarding his faithful servants with wealth. Unfortunately, those with little knowledge of the Bible tend to take a single verse: "Sell all you have and give to the poor" out of context to justify the anti-capitalist Jesus.

 

It is not without precedent.

 

Its not for gentiles to say really. Its their scripture and history not yours.

i'll tell you what is false, the white image of cesar that you worship

 

Ceasar was white. what do yuo think he was, black???

 

Really? No one is to read and interpret the books of another culture, nor weigh their importance and relevance?

 

what was meant is that gentiles will not have a better understanding of the symbolism involved. thought that would be obvious

 

Jonah the verse always says white as wool, as in the color. It has nothing to do with texture, even if it did, jews and other middle easterners are known to have kinky hair. Ever seen tony shalhoub? He is lebanese, technically 'arab' but actually not of arabian blood. Many lebanese descend from phoenicians, greeks, and other groups. He is arabized though, although I don't consider him an arab. He looks more jewish than anything, not arabian. Nasrallah on the other hand is of arabian descent because he is a shia muslim sayyid. Shalhoub is christian. Some lebanese don't consider themselves arabs, but phoenicians. I tend to agree.





Edit: Tony Shalhoub identifies as an arab american, which he has every right to. He is awesome, one of my favorite actors btw! He has done good work in portraying arab americans as good americans going against hollywood's negative portrayals, fighting anti-arab stereotypes, etc. He is a really cool, nice person in real life too! One of the best actors of our time, very underrated.
