Answering The Question, What Color Was Jesus

Not that difficult to understand

Hey folks,

It’s time we laid this stupid argument to rest. It is stupid and defines logic. Although stupid and completely pointless, it also has the power to divide Christians and breed HATE. The exact opposite of Jesus’s message.

In the news lately, we hear Preachers like Manning, and Wright, along with many others in the Black Community teaching their followers that Jesus was a Black man. I grew up in up state NY. Every picture I ever saw of Jesus, portrayed him as a blond with blue eyes. Put aside for a second that ANY picture EVER of Jesus is nothing more than some artist’s rendition of what they picture Jesus to look like and NOT an actual picture of the man. There were no cameras back then.

So you have these Black extremists and White extremists telling us that Jesus was a Black / White man. That he does not care about the other. That he came for them. {Sigh} I get so tired of this idiocies that I actually find myself getting angry. So it’s time to answer the question, “What color was Jesus?”

I know this is going to be difficult for some of you to understand. I know it is very complex. I know that it might even go against EVERYTHING you were ever taught. But it’s just FACT.

OK, get on the plane. Make yourself comfortable, it’s a long flight. We are heading to Africa. Yup. Africa. We are landing now. Come with me and take a look around. What do you see? African folks. Same African folks that have been there 2000 plus years. They all have the same features. They all have differing variations, but for the most part, they are Black. Dark hair. Brown eyes. ETC. If we were to go in a time machine to 2000 plus years ago, we would see the same people. African folks. Now get a good night sleep. Back on the plane in the AM.

Off again as we come to our next stop. China. Come with me and tell me what you see. Chinese folks. Same Chinese folks that have been there 2000 plus years. They all have the same features. They all have differing variations, but for the most part, they all are around the same size. Same facial features. Dark hair, brown or Green eyes. ETC. If we were to go in a time machine to 2000 plus years ago, we would see the same people. Chinese folks. Now get a good night sleep. Back on the plane in the AM.

Off we go again. This time to Europe. Come with me and tell me what you see. European folks. Same European folks that have been there 2000 plus years. They all have the same features. They all have differing variations, but for the most part, they all White. Differing coloring of hair. Brown or Green eyes. Rarely but sometimes Blue ETC. If we were to go in a time machine to 2000 plus years ago, we would see the same people. European folks. Now get a good night sleep. Back on the plane in the AM.

Now we come to our main destination. Jerusalem. Come with me and tell me what you see. Jewish folks. Same Jewish folks that have been there 2000 plus years. They all have the same features. They all have differing variations, but for the most part, they all a little tanner than us. Brown hair. Brown eyes. ETC. If we were to go in a time machine to 2000 plus years ago, we would see the same people. Jewish folks. If we did go back in a time machine, we could even actually run into Jesus himself. Why? Jesus was born to a Jewish Father and Mother. Jesus was a JEW. Hello? Are you with me on this?

Actually, if you want to be exact, you have to go to Nazareth. Jesus’s earthly Father Joseph and Mother Mary are from there, and there was where Jesus was conceived. If you we to go there today, mostly what you will see is Arabian Jews.

Biblical times are the same as today. There were many races. Many different people. There were Black, White, Asia, ETC. Not everyone in the Bible were White, nor were they Black. They were what they were. Here is an interesting note to some of you. Did you know that racism has been around SINCE there have been races? Sorry, it was not started by White Americans. In Numbers 12, the Bible talks about how Moses was discriminated against because he married a Black women.

1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

That tells us that one, racism was alive and well in Biblical times, and two, Moses was not Black as some would like to portray him. The bottom line here is the fact, none of this matters. A Pastor teaching the truth of the Salvation by Jesus The Christ, SHOULD be teaching what the word says. In Galatians 3 it says this.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Today’s terminology? There is neither Black nor White, rich nor poor, we are all one. If these Preachers really feel the need to teach Color, then may I suggest the color Crimson Red? The color of the blood Jesus gave for all mankind.
Peter
