Not sure what you’re even talking about at this point
I thought we are saying the same thing
My point is trying to convince people Jesus is black and not “Jesus died for your sins” defeats the purpose
Muhammad was also “black”
trying to convince people Jesus is black and not “Jesus died for your sins” defeats the purpose
True, but I didn't see anyone here do that, so it's also a strawman.
A descendant of David will be chosen to rule the world. #NoJesus

People called Jesus “son of David” in the Bible among other things. But that’s up to you to believe or not.

Anybody who reads the old testament/tanakh will know not to believe that mess...
It's more important than anything if it's lied about.I see no reason why Ethiopian Christians would ever depict Jesus and their religious figures as white
That said, knowing Jesus color is not nearly as important as knowing his life/teaching/message

I’m just telling you the facts concerning Jesus and what is written and common knowledge of the time.
Like I said, it’s still a matter of believing for us today since we didn’t live during that time
Some people allow other things to get in the way of their belief
Anybody can write anything. Its about what God said (for those of us that believe that was God speaking in the OT). And if you believe God was speaking in the OT, then theres no such thing as a "Jesus" #NoJesus

Jesus if he existed was not black. A Jew from the Levant would probably look like a modern Lebanese or Palestinian man I.e. Mediterranean

Why?
Even Jesus believed God was speaking in the OT
So does he not believe in himself?
Anyways,
Anybody can say what God “told them” and they never will be able to prove it
People writing about Jesus life and what he said/did is close as you’ll get to having proof in any religion.
If you can’t even believe in Jesus, how hard is it then to believe in God
Unless, of course, he challenges your idea of God simply by existing

Why is this even up for debate? A Jew from the Levant would look like a Syrian or Lebanese person today.
Israel wasnt in the Levant first off.
And a Syrian or Lebanese person today did not look like the ancient Egyptians...

So does he not believe in himself?

Anybody can say another man did something just as you say anybody can say God told them. They're both claims. The only difference is, the claim of Jesus tries to bounce off the claims of the prophets. The claims of the prophets stand on their own. Anyways, Imma bring facts over you bringing your feelings. This is what the NT uses to validate Jesus being who he said he was:
Matthew 2
13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”
14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”c]">[c]
Here its saying that Jesus escaping to Egypt was to fulfill a prophecy. But lets go to the verse and see what its saying:
Hosea 11
When Israel was a child, I loved him,
and out of Egypt I called my son.
2 But the more they were called,
the more they went away from me.a]">[a]
They sacrificed to the Baals
and they burned incense to images.
The verse isnt even a prophesy but is speaking about a past event that already happened. Yet the NT takes the verse out of context to make it about Jesus. And I know I can say this and you'll bring back some more emotion filled posts. I dont want to see that. Give me information I can digest or keep it moving...
