    The Lord Jesus Christ is our High Priest (Hebrews 3:1; 4:14-15; 5:5; 8:1; 9:11), and all Christians make up a spiritual priesthood (I Peter 2:5). In the Old Testament you will find a special class of priests, the Levites, who make intercession to God for the common people. If you continue reading, however, you will see in the New Testament that Jesus Christ has sanctified all Christians through His completed work on Calvary (Hebrews 10:10-11). All priests today are unnecessary and unscriptural.

    My Brother in Christ, Alphonse Alban, is wise in the ways of the LORD, and you would do well to take his advice seriously. Do read your Holy Bible, then these questions will all be answered to you!

    In the meantime, you are most welcome to introduce yourself HERE so we can greet you properly! You can read all kinds of helpful information ON THIS THREAD for newcomers like yourself. If you’d like to share your opinion, kindly provide the Scriptural Support where we can see how wonderfully God said it first. Finally, your rights on our forum can be found HERE.

    Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm new to christianity and I've stumbled upon this thread and a lot of things written in the first post confuse me, and I'd like to ask some questions if you don't mind. (cool smileys by the way)
    Hello, and Welcome to our friendly forum! A good way to avoid confusion is to read the entire Bible, and take it as a whole. Don't cherry pick, as you will dilute and confuse His Message


    I find a problem in that. Indeed God would not be Middle Eastern, but neither does it say he's Caucasian either. Also you talk about there being no paintings of God as an Arab, validating your statement using paintings, when at first you condemned paintings of a non-white Jesus...
    God is perfect, ergo white

    A little logic can help you on your spiritual quest


    I have a problem with this as well. Mary would have been just as Middle Eastern as Joseph, so it doesn't matter who was impregnated. How do you know so sure that he is white? Why not a superior colour?


    There is no color superior to white, think about all the references to white being pure

    Isaiah 1:17-19


    17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
    18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
    19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:




    ... So instead of performing miracles the fact that he looked like the travellers from Europe was the tie-breaker?

    Even muhammad in the toilet tissue called the koran, is portrayed as being white. They were trying to piggyback Christians, steal our beliefs to try and sway us away from the True Path™

    Walking on grass doesn't make me green, neither will walking on clouds make me white (also clouds are just gases, you can't actually walk on them). Rays of light, would only make us more dark-skinned, since ultraviolet light causes human cells to make pigment which is why dark-skinned people become so black (they're born not even half as black as they usually become).



    You're sounding a little strange here, how would you know what the clouds are made of if you haven't walked on them yourself?



    A priest told me that we would get new bodies if we were saved, are these bodies not resistant to disease? Why can't God make our bodies unflawed like he intended us to be? By the way, true white is indeed a good reflector, but us Caucasians aren't that white. We're more beige. Besides, the best reflector is a mirror, wouldn't it be better to have mirroring skin in heaven? And why is Heaven closer to the Sun and Earth? Is Heaven in this world, not in the next? Is Heaven close to Venus then? This confuses me.
    Don't listen to priests, you'll be lucky if they don't sodomize you.


    I can see that you have doubts, but you need to read The Bible and go to church. The answers are contained within.

    God Bless

    There are no such things as baptist priests. On another note, the longer you spend time on folly, the longer you stay ignorant. Start reading already.

    This thread is 39 pages long, my questions are not that hard to answer.



    There is your first problem. If you are talking to a priest, you are not talking to a Christian.

    Also, white is amazingly proficient at reflecting light, which is very important when living in Heaven because it’s much closer to the sun than living on the Earth. This white skin prevents you from getting cancer in Heaven and I’m sure stops many other diseases in their tracks.

    Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

    Lets suppose a person does not have the authoritative proof, the KJV, what logic could they embrace?
    Think about it. God can be anyone and anything. Why would He be anything but a in the body of the supreme race. If God were a nigra or a wetback, how could any of the disciples of listened to him, taken him seriously or even understood a word He said?

    Friend, nobody said you didn't quote from the KJV. Nope, it was only requested that you DON'T quote from the New International PERVersion.



    Now, please make a thread of your own in the Introduction Forum as Brother Pim requested.

    Yours in Christ,

    Excuse me, Abdul, but the Bible tells us that Jesus' father is GOD ALMIGHTY! He is certainly not a sand nigra!
