After one of my recent lectures, a Christian college student approached me and asked if black people are uncomfortable with the fact that Jesus is white. I responded, “Jesus is not white. The Jesus of history likely looked more like me, a black woman, than you, a white woman.” I wasn’t shocked by this student’s assumption that Jesus was of European descent, or the certitude with which she stated it. When I am in US Christian spaces, I encounter this assumption so often that I’ve come to believe it is the default assumption about Jesus’ appearance. Indeed, white Jesus is everywhere: a 30-foot-tall white Savior stands at the center of Biola University’s campus; white Jesus is featured on most Christmas cards; and the recent History Channel mini-series The Bible dramatically introduced a white Jesus to more than 100 million viewers. In most of the Western world, Jesus is white. While Christ the Lord transcends skin color and racial divisions, white Jesus has real consequences. In all likelihood, if you close your eyes and picture Jesus, you’ll imagine a white man.

How do you guys view Jesus??

This are foolish questions.

The Lord must be a man of power. For me that is the white man like Jesus. Only he can bring us freedom. It is well.

Am not here to discuss if Jesus is white or black or green. Just to talk on the effect of his color that we view on mind in our life.

Is it the same viewing him as black? And as white?

don't worry about that..............the western world view white as good and black as bad, since they're the originator of the *jesus character*, they make him white.

u wonder why black is used to depict satan, evil or any bad stuff? its their own problems btw.

Exactly!

You are the fool.

Only a fool will turn from the teachings of her parents and pastors. We know who Jesus is. The Bible tells us to not be wise in our own conceits.

Amongst True Believers there is no discussion whatsoever. No point. We know our Lord.

personally, i don't think its much of a big deal.. but then.. I'm not one of the Christians who believe a jew from 2000 years ago died for my sins

So you talk like this

anyway good for him

Jesus is Abraham's seed.
And Abraham is of a pale skin.
He won't be Abraham's seed if he isn't pale skinned.
Jesus is the son of David.
David is pale skinned
He won't be the son of David if not pale skinned.
Don't mind all this people saying Jesus is black.
Jesus was of a pale skin.
But all the nations are saved through him.
And in him there is no black or white.
But a new creature.
Hallelujah.

well, whether blue or green, those who believe are sons of God and we are joint hier with Christ, if am black, Jesus is my black bro, if am grew , Jesus is my green bro

u don't believe Jesus died for your sin? How then do you intend to make heaven?

I don't care if jesus is black or white
as long you believe you have been given the power to be called the son of God

How do you guys view Jesus??

How does his skin colour affect redemption?

Was he born of a virgin? Yes

Did he die,.( it doesn't matter how he died) Yes.

Did he rise from the dead? Yes

Did he ascend to heaven? Yes

Is he coming back? Yes.


This is what matters to me.

I don't care if my master was from Scandinavia or India or Ghana.

What matters to me is that, He bought my redemption.


My advice to you is, get saved.

The Master's Skin colour is of no significance and will not matter when he sits in judgement over you but finds you a goat instead of a sheep.

What does that matter anyways? When he left, he gave you a command to win souls and spread love, are you doing them?

Me, i have very pertinent questions i need to ask him, but i won't ask him those questions if i find myself locked out the gate.

Walk to into the gate.

You don't need to be, I am. And am very happy i am. i will never trade any thing on this earth for this gift.

Me too... i don't know where i will be today if not for Christ. Everyday i thank God that am saved and always thank Him for the Cross of Jesus Christ.

I don't think the skin tone matters. But i believe Jesus have an Olive skin. The Semitic people of the Middle East are known to have Olive skin not necessarily white like the British.

in the Lord's prayer.. i believe it says “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us".. not “forgive us because we believe you sent your son to die for our sins"
