Re: Jesus was infact black.

I have always been told that white men were inferior in at least one department. I guess that's racism.

What kind of Devil in disguise started this thread? And you are right, Roberta . . . white men lack the wherewithal to purchase a set of 22 inch gold plated wire wheels with food stamps . . . it's just beyond their scope of thinking!

Now, I always thought that you wore Long Socks for tucking things into.
Thank You Brother. I shall have to travel to Scotland to carry out some Research.

HoHo there is nothing more charming than a good decent Christian Baptist woman allowing herself to be just a little bit "frisky". Very charming. A little light naughtiness even pleases the Lord when done in innocent frivolity. They say a "Happy Heart and a Pleasing Joy Doth make our Saviour Contented with his children".

Praise.

Re: Jesus was infact black.

Somehow, Brother McGregor, that reminds me of tossing the caber. Think of it: in their national sport of cricket the English wave their little sticks and slap at their balls, but the Scots cut right to the chase and manhandle huge rigid shafts.

But really, Rashaundo, what is happening now in Kenya and events in recent history in the Congo and Sierra Leone demonstrate that the African soul contains as many shadows as any other.

Oh yes, man is a fallen being. May Jesus have mercy on us. There is a place in man's soul where the devil has a citadel. 20,000 people have been mutilated by rebel bands in Sierra Leone: how does a man look into the face of a child and chop off its forearms with a machete? May Jesus have mercy.

Lord, let the divine light of Your mercy shine into the darkness in the human soul. As Your love and holiness shined down when the Israelites smote the Amelekites, when the Eleven Tribes smote the Sons of Benjamin, when the Roman Catholics smote the Albigensians, let Your holiness come down upon us fallen beings. Forgive us, Father.

Foregive us, for we know damn well what we do and we go on doing it anyway.

Nods...the English have always been a little more...shall we say, "poofish"?

You look like a man who could toss a few cabers about. You always remind me of Cactus Jack the wrestler or as you wonderful Americans say "wrasslers"

Did you see our dear pert Sister Talitha? Very saucy this morning and charming.
I'm still properly blushing and I suppose she is too...naughty girl *mild laughing and definitely gentle admonishment*

Re: Jesus was infact black.

RaShaundo, would you be so kind as to point out a verified historical description of Jesus which supports your assertion that He was not white, with fair skin, chestnut or auburn/strawberry blond/blond hair, and blue or grey eyes, but rather had black skin, dark brown eyes, and a big ol' nappy Afro?

I await your response.

Re: Jesus was infact black.

Can you give me a valid description where He looks like the first thing you said? (the Transfiguration and the Book of Revelation don't count, because they show what He looks like in all His glory.)

Awful Papist! Only you would be twisted enough to ask us to give you a valid description of Jesus and then forbid us from using the Biblical evidence!

The Description of Publius Lentullus

The following was taken from a manuscript in the possession of Lord Kelly, and in his library, and was copied from an original letter of Publius Lentullus at Rome. It being the usual custom of Roman Governors to advertise the Senate and people of such material things as happened in their provinces in the days of Tiberius Caesar, Publius Lentullus, President of Judea, wrote the following epistle to the Senate concerning the Nazarene called Jesus.

"There appeared in these our days a man, of the Jewish Nation, of great virtue, named Yeshua [Jesus], who is yet living among us, and of the Gentiles is accepted for a Prophet of truth, but His own disciples call Him the Son of God- He raiseth the dead and cureth all manner of diseases. A man of stature somewhat tall, and comely, with very reverent countenance, such as the beholders may both love and fear, his hair of (the colour of) the chestnut, full ripe, plain to His ears, whence downwards it is more orient and curling and wavering about His shoulders. In the midst of His head is a seam or partition in His hair, after the manner of the Nazarenes. His forehead plain and very delicate; His face without spot or wrinkle, beautified with a lovely red; His nose and mouth so formed as nothing can be reprehended; His beard thickish, in colour like His hair, not very long, but forked; His look innocent and mature; His eyes grey, clear, and quick-

The letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar

This is a reprinting of a letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar describing the physical appearance of Jesus. Copies are in the Congressional Library in Washington, D.C.

TO TIBERIUS CAESAR:

A young man appeared in Galilee preaching with humble unction, a new law in the Name of the God that had sent Him. At first I was apprehensive that His design was to stir up the people against the Romans, but my fears were soon dispelled. Jesus of Nazareth spoke rather as a friend of the Romans than of the Jews. One day I observed in the midst of a group of people a young man who was leaning against a tree, calmly addressing the multitude. I was told it was Jesus. This I could easily have suspected so great was the difference between Him and those who were listening to Him. His golden colored hair and beard gave to his appearance a celestial aspect. He appeared to be about 30 years of age. Never have I seen a sweeter or more serene countenance. What a contrast between Him and His bearers with their black beards and tawny complexions!

The Archko Volume

Another description of Jesus is found in "The Archko Volume" which contains official court documents from the days of Jesus. This information substantiates that He came from racial lines which had blue eyes and golden hair. In a chapter entitled "Gamaliel's Interview" it states concerning Jesus (Yeshua) appearance:

"I asked him to describe this person to me, so that I might know him if I should meet him. He said: 'If you ever meet him [Yeshua] you will know him. While he is nothing but a man, there is something about him that distinguishes him from every other man. He is the picture of his mother, only he has not her smooth, round face. His hair is a little more golden than hers, though it is as much from sunburn as anything else. He is tall, and his shoulders are a little drooped; his visage is thin and of a swarthy complexion, though this is from exposure. His eyes are large and a soft blue,

Y'know, I don't think I've ever seen a crucifix with an African on it. Perhaps it's just that the pope doesn't think they would sell. Or it could be that Mr Martin is "off-message".

Re: Jesus was infact black.

I guest that's a example of how Christians act ReaganYouth? Har, Har. Amusing.

There's nothing that irks me more than people who make outrageous mockery of those who simply wish to live their lives in the Light of the Lord.


Please, have a little more respect for us. Baptists don't roar like beasts, type in hard-to-read capitals, or make hypocritical statements on spelling. Thank goodness you are on moderation. At least I trust people are able to spot real Christians from the ones pretending to be one for the laughs.

Re: Jesus was infact black.

Your question smacks of racism. Racism is not tolerated here. The color of a person's skin has no bearing on how much love they can give.

I am praying for you, friend.

It's funny you say that.

A lot of people seem to be bagging the aboriginals and australians in several other threads. I think that it's double standards.

There is no racism in those threads, friend. Aboriginals are primitive heathens in need of salvation. That's not because of their race; it's because of their culture.

Australian is a nationality, not a race, so it's impossible to be "racist" against Australians. Besides, Australians are almost white.

I hope this clears up your confusion.

I'd like to back up the Pastor here; We are all God's Children, there is no room for hate here at Landover. RaShaundo, I am personally appalled by your' racism so cut it out.

"Primitive", referring to ? I'm not trying to offend anyone here, but I think that is a little bit mean. You've never met one of the better ones that work in proper jobs and get high paid salaries.

I agree, racism isn't possible against Australians, but discrimination is.

Thank you for your input, I am trying to learn the Christian way.

Thanks,

Your positive and open attitude is a refreshing change from the hatefilled spew we usually get from your countrymen.

If you want to know more about us, take a look at our beliefs. Read through the various thread here, and especially start studying the Bible HERE.

I'll be praying for you to turn away from the depravity of your drunken criminal past.
