Why don't you use a spell check? If you look in the dictionary, there is no such thing as a republicain. Better yet, use Firefox, it comes with an inbuilt spell-checker.
Don't they teach you kids how to spell in school any more?

Some of his fingers are broken Rachel, I wonder why he's even typing at all, let alone correctly.

No, that's not fair is it. I mean, your you're only responible responsible for everything wrong in this world, so me blaming things on you as well would be unfair, you filthy Republicain republican.

Any ideas as to what could explain this burst of leftist nonsense? My guess'd be a half-pint of scrumpy.

I've given up trying to make sense with you people. Which would explain why I'm like this and why your hair is green.

Don't try and blame your retardation on us, freak.

Re: Jesus was not white.

Jesus was white, and I am white.

On the other hand, Jesus made a lick of sense, something which definitely can't be said about you.

Re: Jesus was not white.

Jesus was white, and I am white. Or maybe I'm not white at night time? Or maybe Jesus was acutally a bear?

Re: Jesus was not white.

I find this accusation to be offensive! Jesus was born white as snow! Like Miss Talitha said, maybe the sun might have given his skin a caramel tan later in life but he was born lily-white! To suggest that he was born of an inferior race, well, the bible clearly shows darker races to be destined slaves of the white people. Are you suggesting our Lord was born to a lowly slave?

Secular reply:

There is no accusation implied. There is virtually no non-Biblical information about the man Jesus of Nazareth, and no one knows what he looked like or what color of skin he had. Darkskinned people have not always been destined to become slaves to white-skinned races; historically it depends on what countries and what races.

Mainstream church reply:

There is no accusation implied. Jesus of Nazareth was Jewish, and from birth probably had dark hair, brown eyes, and the caramel-tan complexion of most Hebrews of the Middle East. To suggest that he was born of an inferior race destined to become slaves has no historical basis.

Re: Jesus was not white.

he would have been of middle eastern, not white, origin.

And how do you figure that?
Wait, don't tell me.. genes/DNA right?

ASSUMING such do exist (which it don't) then Jesus wouldn't share DNA with either Mary or Joseph.
Joseph for quite obvious reasons, as he was not the father.. but THE FATHER was the Father of Jesus. Glory!

And Mary simply had Jesus implanted into her by God:
He was not conceived of her, or by her, but IN her.. It was actually the Holy Ghost who "conceived" Him. (Matthew 1:20)
So Mary was simply an empty vessel, a storage container used until baby Jesus was ready to emerge from it.

Thus, Jesus wouldn't share DNA (had it existed) with ANYONE in the region, or on earth.
Your theory lose. Jesus wins. Praise God!

Ugh, how can you say these things and accuse someone else of being offensive??
You're saying here that you think everyone bar white people are inferior! And for your information, if a historical jesus had in fact existed, the thread starter would be correct in saying he would have been of middle eastern, not white, origin.

[Miss Maisie]

Re: Jesus was not white.

Jesus was born of the virgin Mary, a resident of the middle east. As such the genes from his mother would cause him to be of a darker skin tone as the climate in the middle east favors darker colored skin.

Re: Jesus was not white.

No. It means someone who will probaly let a book go so far to his head, he'll wish away his life, through a leap, of blind faith. Hot lunch, acutally, was something I heard an America once say.

Something you heard from an American movie more likely. I know it is hard for you English to understand the subtle complexities of American-English but I would think “lining up to be a hot lunch” is obvious enough; doing something that will get you eaten alive. Now were does Christianity at any point expose the practitioner to savage, flesh eating animals or cannibals Omerta? We hunt bears here in Iowa Omerta, not try to pray with them.

Re: Jesus was not white.

That's it. I cannot be bothered to debate with a man who is lining up to be hot lunch. The bible can't say you.

Um, what? Is "hot lunch" homer slang or something? And the Bible can teach us many valuable lessons, but, as an inanimate book, it is ultimately incapable of talking, so I suppose you're correct in saying that "it can't say you". However, I can't really see why that's relevant. Have you been honking on a drugs balloon again?
