The BBC are experts on Christianity. Right...
Palestine was never a nation.
It’s a region. Like America.
No one is an American Citizen.
We are United States Citizens.
Do an image search for blonde Jesus and you’ll find plenty. A common depiction in the middle ages and renaissance. Mostly dark blond which you could call light brown. Dark brown and black too. Of course a similar search for black Jesus has plenty of results too, relatively more recent.
Yup. They only used the term after the surviving Jews from the Holocaust travelled to make that land Israel.
I have a Jewish friend who lives in Israel. He’s quite positive about Arabs in general, but claims that the Palestinians are essentially lower-caste Arabs, gypsies of a sort, nothing but useful political pawns.
=:-)
I guess Jesus can be whatever anyone wants him to be, Christian Scripture and tradition notwithstanding. Everyone understands Jesus except his followers.
My wife and kids are Jewish. I’m almost Jewish, in that I grew up in a Jewish house (mom converted for stepdad) and my family is Jewish.
My lovely daughter (13) told me matter of factory that Jesus was probably black.
I looked at her and said “you have been to Israel. How many black people did you see?” She paused and said huh. Then we had a nice discussion about how he was a middle eastern Jew.
She is getting this crap from her BLM classmates. It’s infuriating.
No He wasn’t. He was a Jew born in Bethlehem
Matter of factLY. Argh these phones and auto correct
palestinians are wandering lower class arabs, whom even the upper class arabs want nothing to do with- evidently- arab nations have millions upon millions of acres of land, plenty to give to the wandering arabs, but nope- they won’t give em anything- instead the wandering nation-less arabs who call themselves palestinians have to zero in on a spit of land not much bigger than the size of N.J, because Jews own it.
(Dr)pastor David Jeremiah at times calls Israel Palestine in his broadcasts.
The Brits and the Church of England have been a bunch of “belief in God optional” types for decades.
[but claims that the Palestinians are essentially lower-caste Arabs, gypsies of a sort, nothing but useful political pawns.]
I personally believe that’s correct. Dave Hunt (RIP) noted that Kuwait deported 300,000 Palestinians and that the U.N. basically yawned.
Because they’re only used as political pawns against the state of Israel.
Yes, I wish he would stop muddying the waters like that.

Jesus was Jordanian?
For Muslims, He (”he” for them) is a “prophet” subservient to Mohammed and certainly not the Son of God. Completely contrary to Scripture.
This is yet another way the world gets to the Antichrist, who will claim to be messiah.
Dave Hunt (again RIP) believed he will be a “false jesus” (little “j” on purpose). That way he’ll be perceived to work for all of them.
I expect this man will go to Salt Lake City, Utah, and Independence, Missouri, possibly even the so-called Adam-Ondi-Ahman near Gallatin, Missouri to “prove” he’s “the messiah”.
Until the 1960s, ‘Palestinian’ standing alone meant a Jew. I’ve seen British Mandate IDs that say Palestinian when the person was a Jew. Arabs were identified as Arabs.
Money was Palestine pound, The Jerusalem Post, Jewish owned, originated as the Palestine Post.
“Understanding” Jesus is also missing the point.
