Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

then why is everyone making a huge issue of it? White, black, Brown, who cares? Is one's salvation based on whether or not they think Yeshua is white? Forgive me, but I was under the impression it was one's faith in him alone that one might be saved (John 3:16)

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

Listen hippie, faith in Jesus is only going to save you if your faith is in the real Jesus, and not some made-up Kwanza character that some priest who got his job through affirmative action decided to call "Jesus."

If one is to believe in Christ wouldn't it be better to know how He looks like? I'm quite sure that a negro "Jesus" is not a good candidate for worship.

Jeremiah 14:14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

Of all the religions I've looked into, stumbled upon, and/or studies in my young life, Kwanza was never one of them, so I don't know where your getting that idea. As for having a good idea as to what he looks like, well what about

Exodus 20:4

"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"

by the way, I am no hippie.
and how do you know your faith is with the "real Jesus" and not some made up American Propaganda character? You criticizes me and accuse me of having faith in a made up character, well sir, let me ask you something: do you think they called him "Jesus" in his day as we do today? That would be rather unlikely as there was no "J" in the language of his day as there is in the English of our day. Which reminds me of that one thing Jesus said about pointing out the spec in your neighbors eye when you can't even see the thorn in your own (Matthew 7:3)

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"

Come now brother why do you antagonize someone seeking fellowship as God commands?

[Faith_Machine]

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

There's a spic in my eye every time I look at the guy who mows my lawn, and there's nothing wrong with that.

As for Kwanza, it is not a religion, but a demonic alternative to Christmas.

Furthermore, I suggest you get clear on the difference between "your" and "you're."

But first, it would behoove you to get right with God and stop following the Grateful Dead around.

Knowing what our Savior looks like has nothing to do with cathlick idolatry. It sort of goes without saying that we need to know for sure whether our God is the correct one and not some nigra impostor.

Exodus 20:2-3 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

and how do you know your faith is with the "real Jesus" and not some made up American Propaganda character?

Because we follow the Bible and every word that's in it.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

[myNameIs]

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

oh that's good, you should follow the Bible and all it's truth.

So for Faith_Machine, you should read up on Jeremiah chapter 10 in regards to Christmas

"2Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

3For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

4They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

5They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good."

as for your antagonist comments, you assume much, but you know nothing about me, I have no affiliation with the grateful dead, I hardly listen to music for that matter, and I'm very selective as to what I subject my ears to.

And Dr. Jones, you contradict yourself, I just quoted from the Bible for you and if you as you claim believe every word word of it, then why do you dismiss this verse?

And Faith_Machine, if you don't like the guy that mows your lawn, then why don't mow it yourself?

[Faith_Machine]

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

Goodness, gracious!

a) I never said I don't like the spic who mows my lawn. He's a great guy.

b) If you think that quoting God's prescription for sustainable logging proves your point, you are wrong.

c) If you don't listen to the Grateful Dead, or to any music, for that matter, I can only assume it was the drugs and the premarital sex which lead you to the hippie scene. Enjoy that chlamydia, pal!

[myNameIs]

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

a) when you said spic, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, assuming that you weren't using a racial slur and that it might of been a typo on your part, but sure, you must really like someone whom you have so little respect for that you use a derogative racial slur to describe him.

b) that passage describes more of a Christmas tree then sustainable logging.

c) I've repented from my sins and accepted Christ, I suggest you do the same sir, I'll be preying for you (never got chlamydia by the way)

Hi there. I was really enjoying your posts and agreeing with them until I saw this. It's really disheartening. How dare you claim someone has not accepted Christ? Don't you know you can never judge anyone ever for any reason whatsoever? Jesus is very sad right now, you know

I'll pray for you.

[Faith_Machine]

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

...I'll be preying upon you and anybody else foolish enough to take my word over God's word.

Fixed that for ya.

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

yes you are correct, I should not (and meant not) judge. But hey, I'm not claiming to be perfect here, I slip up just as we all do time to time, the only thing we can do is ask for forgiveness and try again.

What I was referring to was the harsh way the gentleman was coming off, maybe that just be the lack of tone on internet forums or simply due the splitting of the languages back in the day.

in short, my bad

back to the issue at hand though:

I don't think it's a matter of preying to a black Jesus, white Jesus, brown Jesus - whatever, as I pointed out scripture clearly tells us not to imitate the divine, for people tend to be limited in their scope (that is "limited" as opposed to "narrow", as narrow is the way, yet some are limited in instruction, i.e. some people have no access to a Bible or they choose not to read it for themselves). Think about it, what would Jesus prefer? for you to prey specifically to a white rendition of him, or to go out and preach his message and to treat people the way you would want to be treated (Matthew 7:12)? (while preying to him of course).

wow faith_machine, did you seriously just slander my name? That's not Christian, that's just deceitful.

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

It does?

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Leviticus 19:2 "Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: 'Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.

Ephesians 5:1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children

[myNameIs]

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

sure but imitating him isn't worshiping pictures of him

yes be Christ-like, so wheres the love? If I was a non-believer I might get the wrong idea about Christ based on SOME of the initial reactions here if someone like faith_machine here is supposed to be an example.
