Why Is Jesus Painted White In Nigerian Churches?? by logicboy: 1:30pm On May 06, 2012
Why is Jesus painted as a white man in Nigerian Churches? Why is this so when we all know that Jesus would have a darker shade of skin from the looks of people from isreal/middle east at the time or from his description in the bible.


A chinese guy will paint jesus as chinese




A white European will paint Jesus as white but a black West African man will paint Jesus as white?

This is what scientist believe that Jesus would have looked like;

What adorn most Churches and the mindset of the average Christians is the impression created by Michelangelo. The question you should be asking is if the western world would have embraced Christianity if the early manifestation of Christ was as a blackman.

While that is a good question, it doesnt negate the question put forward by this thread.


White European will see a white European Jesus

Chinese will see a Chinese Jesus

What? Does Jesus hate curiosity?

By the way, I was a christian for 22 years and so I have the right to ask.

I am just a guy who shares his life stories to discuss with others. If you dont like it, go hug a transformer or derail another thread.

You can debate with me but I wont tolerate you trying to be the lawyer for Jesus when no one appointed you.

My dear friends, the reall question is: If the sky should open up tomorrow with the sound of trumpets to herald the coming of Jesus, what would really happen if a non-white, say, A blackskinned man with dreadlocks, descends from the sky??
1. What would the Vatican do?
Ans: Most likely crucify him again for being an imposter(Infact, there is a Papal bull that prescibes death as punishment for anyone who declares himself to be Jesus christ.Yes o)
2. What would the Nigerian pastors and their pentecostal followers do?
Ans: Most likely call him the devil or anti-christ and stone him.

3. What would the rednecks in US bible belt do?
Ans: Most likely pull out their guns to shoot the rebelious Negro right out of the sky before he even sets foot on the ground.

4. What would the white garment churches do?
Ans. I have no idea. But maybe celebration.

Religion is a brain job. The black man can never ever accept a saviour who is not white. That is why we so much detest African artifacts and statues. The Europeans did a marvelous job of making us see ourselves as ugly,unclean and evil, and we happily and blissfully pass this message on to our young children every sunday.

Yes,
Willie Lynch was prophetic when he wrote " ensure that you that you creat fear, envy and distrust among the slaves so that you are the only one they can look up to",
and,
" If you follow my instructions faithfully, you wull create the perfect slave which would keep reproducing itself for eternity unless interrupted by only a catastrophic event".
King Leopold of Belgium wrote to his christian missionaries in the Congo, thus: "Make sure that you descredit and destroy their heroes so that they would always look up to the white man as their heroes" .

@Logicboy

Longtime no hear. I saw your thread then dropped by.

If I may ask to start with.

What is the color of your heart?
What is the color of your brain?
What is the color of the words you speak?
What stopped you or anybody to paint the picture of Jesus Christ Anyhow?
What is the color of your conscience?

Welcome back.
