It is wrong to depict him in a way that he was not, because of "truth". Would it be right to depict Buddha as being negroid? And eating a steak?

I think various depictions were ways in which to worship the traditional God while under the control of missionaries.

I thought JESUS was Muslim and GOD is black! Now I'm going to have to change all my mental images. Poop.

[oneamericanvoice]

LOLOLOL!!! Brilliant analogy!

I don't think the actual color of his skin matters. He had to come to the Earth in one color or another. But I agree the author of Revelation, within a 100 yrs or so of Jesus's death, probably had a better idea of the truth than you or I could have by just thinking about the matter. I'll side with the Book!

Now you are kidding right?

Not all mankind recognizes Him as the Savior.
If his face is that of all mankind, what does he look like?

If, as liberal hypocrites claim that race does not make a difference (not that they believe that), then why does it matter that the traditional view of Yeshua must be altered to appear to be of a different race? The answer must be because a liberal view is always a hypocrisy, hijacking a meaning of something (tolerance and lack of racial prejudice) and subverting it to mean something else (lifting up a racial identity).

Would you reject the gift of salvation offered by Christ, if somehow his earthly heritage failed to meet your expectations?

A KKK guy accidentally ends up in heaven and when he finds out Christ is black, he moves out.

Faith is much more than skin deep, isn't it? Amen.

[oneamericanvoice]

Then you care not for truth, which was a big deal with Jesus.

In the picture, does Jesus look anything like Sammy Davis Jr?

[elcid1970]

I see the face of my Savior.

1 Corinthians 9:22b ....I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

Another artsy-fartsy liberal movie intended to irritate portray christian conservatives as racist."

Depending on the content of the movie (do they portray him as gay, an alcoholic, sleeping with Mary, etc.) I may like to see it.

So, which are you hoping for--gay, alcoholic, or sleeping with Mary?

[fish hawk]

Wasn't Sammy Davis Jewish? I believe so.

A little New Agey, don't you think?

Not at all. As a matter of fact, I first heard that statement (i.e., "The Color of Jesus is Love") from a black Baptist preacher in Jacksonville Florida, and there was nothing 'New Age' about him.

Everybody knows California boys suck hind tit. There's no use kickin' about it. :^)
