@Jessica Jessica If we're being exact, black and white doesn't exist. It was created by Europeans to justify genocide. Jesus was most likely dark skinned though as he went to Africa to hide as a child. He was part of a culture where putting oil in your hair was common.

People that are here speaking about what color was Jesus was fighting for him to be white , black or brown , they are the real racist. Don’t start fighting regarding what color is Jesus. Jesus came to reveal the truth and to free us from that bandage that we had with Satan . Why , because we were lost in satans way. Jesus came that we may have a life , life in abundance. Jesus came for one race and that’s for the human race . Stop making ridiculous comments about what who Jesus was . He is not here anymore , Jesus is within us. But the way we speak against each other we have to wonder what spirit we have either Jesus or Satan. You choose . You can only have one Lord not two. I rest my case. Jesus Loves you. Then we speak about Putin talking about Jesus was black, Dood , do you know who Putin is? Have you asked your self that! No you did not. It’s a shame.

[@kelly4real89]

That wasn't a description of how he really looked. That might have been someone that saw him when he was in his spiritual form and then described that. Also remember the 10 commandments. I'm paraphrasing but it's btw the 1st - 3rd commandment, it said something like do not make any images of me in any likeness whatsoever. And even Jesus, when he was being crucified and the lady ran up to him to wipe his face. All that was said was there was an outline not an image , an outline of his facial structure. So i'm pretty sure the color of his eyes weren't on that bloodied towel neither was the color of this skin. But you know what was on it. The color of his human blood, which is the same for every man/woman of any color. RED and thats why I don't keep Statues or pictures of Jesus Christ in my house. Sure you can have crosses but not one of Jesus hanging on it.

I was"back then" when Blair put this out. Blair and I are around the same age. It did indeed take courage and he had to make appearances like this on Phil donahoe just so that people knew this film existed because the cinema houses wouldn't put movies like this into theatres. It had to be distributed through other channels and there was no Netflix, Amazon prime, KZbin or streaming services back then. Also, He could have jeopardized his acting career by doing this. With so many blacks responding to Judau- Christianity in such a negativity way, because of the way white people are treating blacks, it was refreshing to find that this perspective had been loaded onto KZbin.

Dark Monkey that's why they keep the old testament hidden in church

[@felinefokus]

Dark Monkey I'm 28yrs old. I haven't been to a church building in 10yrs and that's because I started to read the beginning of the bible. It was so interesting but everything started to dawn on me. I begin to read between the lines. Then I thought, "no wonder why these preachers start with the new testament and say that the old testament doesn't matter" . *Why do doctors ask for our families history of certain body traditions* no one can just start at the now if you do it will have you lost ass hell. *history is one's blueprint*

The real Hebrews were in fact people of Colour. Proof: The story of Moses. Pharaohs daughter found moses in the Nile river as a baby and claimed him as her own. He was brought up in the Royal household and considered a Egyptian. Clearly he would have to have been a person of colour because nobody knew he was actually Hebrew. If Hebrews were Caucasian (as they are presented today) there is no way he could've blended in with the coloured Egyptians and be passed off as one of their own.
