I’m shocked that the New York Times even acknowledged that Christ existed.
Haven’t they read the Bible (no answer needed)? Jesus was from the direct line of King David. That sorta kinda makes him Jewish a little bit.
I had a VERY high-IQ ex-pastor who is now a Karl Barth disciple in a liberal denomination.
One day he said Jesus was an itinerant Palestinian preacher.
I left the church REAL quick after that.....
No such country as Palestine then or now. I’ve heard preachers today call it Palestine.
They think that we think he looked like the depictions that we see of him. No we don’t. One of the magazines (Popular Mechanics!) felt that it was necessary to put a composite picture on its cover. It looked like a neanderthal bum. That was designed to shock Christians in their faith.
Didn’t work. This won’t either.
Ancient Jews had red hair... King David for example.
If Jesus looked different from other Jews in the area, there would not have been any need for Judas to point him out to arrest him.
Left is totally obsessed with skin color. Its amazing. Their hate for white skin is enough that they are starting to hate Jews because they have white skin.
If I am not mistaken, his lineage traced to King David on his Mother AND his father’s side.
When the Hell has the new york times ever been Right about anything.
Wasn’t he from Galilee ?
I’ve also heard him referred to as “The Nazarene” As in jesus of Nazareth.
I’m calling bullsh*t on this.
There is a long and well-documented genealogy concerning the family of Jewish leaders into which Jesus of Nazareth was born. It is all written down, and going back to the time of Abraham, there was only ONE genealogical line of the “Chosen People”. The descendants of Isaac were the foundation of all the Jewish people, while the sons of Ishmael was the foundation of their cousins, the Arabic people.
Look it up.
all year long, but ALWAYS at Easter and Christmas, the mass media run anti-religious stories...without labeling them as such. Usually, its under the guise of some professor’s theory...or quoting a known atheist ...
There is a tremendous difference between discussing and critiquing a religious tenet....honestly...and doing this sort of ‘smear job’..... it is so very much like how the same media treat ANYTHING they disagree with....(including PDJT)...mostly unproven allegations or illogical conclusions....and often with a lot of “emotionally-charged wording”
we don’t read the NYT and we only glance quickly at most of the mass media’s religious articles (to see if one of them happens to be intelligent, worth reading... this happens only about 10 percent of the time)
How can people with such fancy degrees be so damn ignorant about history, among many other topics?
ilhan omar is pushing the same fakery.
He may have had olive skin, but his parents were both children of David from the tribe of Judah. Born in the city of David.
That is akin to calling a Tibetan, Chinese.
