Coli Christians, was Jesus black?

[Tair]

We ARE Black as that is our ethnicity.

Africans have had their own myriad ethnicities for millenia.

We come from them, but are NOT them.

Calling them 'Black' is as disrespectful as calling us Zulu or Igbo as it completely ignores the differences in culture, language, philosophy, history, etc.​

To add, what country in Africa would we be from? For instance, my DNA isn't just from one country in Africa.

Spoiler

probably similar breakdowns for other BAs as well. We are our own ethnic group.

Evidently, we're NOT Black because we don't look like this.....​

1st and foremost:

Exodus 20:4 KJV
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

2nd Jesus was a Hebrew from the tribe of Judah. He most likely had an olive skin tone.

goooofy as fukk...


Revelation 1:14-15 King James Version (KJV)
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

keep believing back in those days they were fair skinned, them nikkas, black as fukk.

 

[RedCloakBlackWraithe]

I BELIEVE THAT JESUS WAS BLACK. IT'S ALSO POSSIBLE THAT HE COULD HAVE BEEN ARAB. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY CAN BE 100% SURE AT THIS POINT.

I TRY TO FOCUS MORE ON THE MESSAGE. BLACK, WHITE, OR GREEN. DOES THE MESSAGE CHANGE?

arab meant nomad.

 

[RedCloakBlackWraithe]

Can someone break down the birth of Christianity? I thought it started in Ethiopia. This shyt is so confusing.

it did. they ethiopians then moved up the continent over to egypt and the mediterranean and arab world bringing the religion with them.

 

[Fill Collins]

(Former) Christian, despite people saying otherwise, he wasn't.

Jesus wasn't Black (really Niger-Congolese/West African), he wasn't white either.

If we're gonna use the copper/brass verse, than Southern Indians, Southern Italians and Australian Aboriginals are Black too

Ancient image of Abraham and Isaac.

Ethiopians got their Bible from a Greek cac

Edit: thought that was Ge'ez, my bad, those aren't Black (again, as in West African descent) people, just because someone isn't pink or the color of bird shyt, doesn't mean they're Black, would you call arabs and bedouins Black?

 

[Bondye Vodou]

Jebus (if he existed) prolly looked like either modern day East Africans, Yeminis or Palestinians.

He didn’t look like Brad Pitt with long blonde hair and a beard.

 

[Laidbackman]

There's no such thing as a Black person. So he wasn't really Black either from that perspective. But again, he looked more like a so-called African-American (an Israelite that mixed in with other nations, but still mostly and Israelite) than any other category on this planet.

Although Revelation 1: 14-15 suggest he looked like a so-called African-American, it doesn't necessarily tell me he was in the dark-skinned category. To me, it suggest he was a fine copper-tone. That could be any shade of brown, but with a heavy tone.

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

This is what Jesus looked like in Revelation.....​

He had no nose, ears, or neck.

Olive skin tone? Why not post the scripture that TELLS us what his tone looked like? His feet were bronze, which is much darker than olive. This is part of the reason why people have a hard time believing the Bible because people like you post half truths which a really full lies.

Revelation 1:14-15

14 The hairs of his head were white, like whitewool, like snow. oHis eyes were like a flame offire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze,refined in a furnace, and qhis voice was like theroar of many waters.

Revelation 1:14-15 King James Version (KJV)
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

His skin tone is representative of those who lived in the region at that time. The problem is you don't understand what the scripture is talking about. It is a description of Jesus glorified body.

Revelation 1:14-15 KJV
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; [15] And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

Hairs white like wool. Due to His age and His wisdom.

Isaiah 45:21 KJV
Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord ? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

Isaiah 46:10 KJV
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

Daniel 7:9 KJV
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

Eyes like a flame of fire. Nothing hides from the Lord.

Hebrews 4:12 KJV
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Hebrews 4:13 KJV
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Luke 12:2-3 KJV
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. [3] Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

Feet like burnished bronze. Burnished bronze is white hot as its been heated up. It wasn't cooled down. Which means no impurities.

Ezekiel 1:5-7 KJV
Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. [6] And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. [7] And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.

Daniel 10:5-6 KJV
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: [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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And his feet like unto fine brass - Compare Daniel 10:6, "And his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass." See also Ezekiel 1:7, "and they" (the feet of the living creatures) "sparkled like the color of burnished brass." The word used here - χαλκολιβάνω chalkolibanō - occurs in the New Testament only here and in Revelation 2:18. It is not found in the Septuagint. The word properly means "white brass" (probably compounded of χαλκός chalkos, brass, and λίβανος libanos, whiteness, from the Hebrew לבן laban, white). Others regard it as from χαλκός chalkos, brass, and λιπαρόν liparon, clear. The metal referred to was undoubtedly a species of brass distinguished for its clearness or whiteness. Brass is a compound metal, composed of copper and zinc. The color varies much according to the different proportions of the various ingredients.

The problem is that you posted these scriptures for nothing. I don’t debate scripture. You just want Him to be whatever color you want Him to be. Do you know the skin tone of that region 2020 years ago? Are you sure they were “olive”? No, you’re not. Brass is brass and olive is olive. Scriptures say nothing about olive, so don’t put that false/unsure narrative out there. That’s my point.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
