Who\'s going to watch "Passion of Christ"?

[Living-In-Clip]

Good God, do you people not read?

By the way, who gives a flying crap what color He was?

I don\'t, but Gibson says he wants to portray Christ as accruate as possible, in which case he is lying, because the chance of Jesus being white is almost zilch.

And if I see one more post arguing if he was black or not, I\'ll scream. I never said he was black, I said he would be tanned skin more like an Iraqi.
Argh!
READDDD!

Black/Semi black it\'s all the same there were still "half black" slaves back in the day and my point was it would of been impossible for Jesus to be anything other than white going by your racism logic.

Read the bible, think about it. Jesus would of not been white. There are numerous reasons, more than I care to state. The fact is, the reason you think it\'s a joke is because all portraits are of a white jesus. Why is that? Simple, racism. It\'s a racism that most people don\'t even acknowledge. The foundation of most modern Christainity is based on a white-man\'s viewpoint and this includes a white Jesus. Was it black? Doubtful, more like \'tan skinned\' sort of like an Iraqi.


The problem really is as a culture, we have grown to accept Jesus as a white male. And now, most people can\'t fathom the idea that he may of not been white. It\'s a lot like the crucfixtion hands vs wrists debate. It took along time before people admitted all the portraits, necklaces and so on of Jesus\' crucfixation are inaccurate.

Good lord..this man speaks the truth! i actually stated this in the o.j. thread..but got no response..except.."everything is race with you clips!" :rolleyes:

could have sworn that chunk of land that separates africa was still part of it. persian gulf separates it. i\'m gonna have to do some research as i could have sworn eden was in africa as well.


ps: the part of the land that has iraq, iran on it..israel is in the upper left corner..thought that was part of africa..not asia...will look into it tho.

*update* went to some site in google and stated that israel was part of south asia..well it didn\'t really state that, but when it showed africa,..it didn\'t show israel being a part of it..so you was right swif!  hmm now must look into eden!

Don\'t argue with me boi.

My logic is simple. We has a culture have grown to accept the idea that Jesus was white. Why is that? Due to the fact that modern christainity is based on a pre-dominatly white religious views and religion itself (in a modern sense). Due to this, people cannot get over the idea that Jesus would most likely not have been white (if he did indeed exist - which I won\'t argue).

lets just call him tanned skin , wich jim cavesiel is !

And I will say that if you can\'t enjoy a film because it has a few words at the bottom of the screen, that you\'re not even really reading but skimming, then that is ignorant. It\'s not like your just reading a novel, you see the picture, skim the words, and its really not that big of a deal.

But to each his own...

And I would say being a virgin at your age is really pathetic.

But do you see me calling you out no you don\'t. Because thats your choice and who am I to judge you on that.

My choosing to not want to read in a theater is just my choice. It is not that big of deal. I just don\'t wanna do it. And a lot of people don\'t see it as a problem. Hey I just don\'t like it.
It\'s only and movie and not that big of deal to resort to name calling

But like  you said to each his own.......

He would of not likely to have been white why?...

He probably was super tanned, but that certainly doesn\'t mean he wasn\'t white. How could the supposedly racist bible and people in general ever accept a non white Jesus?

to break it down in general..the bible stated jesus feet was like bronze & his hair like wool...doesn\'t sound like anybody white to me does it? Kinda sounds like tyrone or jamil who lives down the street from ya!

[Jumpman]

That sounds like a metaphor? :/

[Living-In-Clip]

If Jesus was white - then why would he would fled to Egypt once? Not exactly an idea place to hide for a white male, is it? I mean, he would of stood out like a sore thumb, see\'ing as the rest of the population is not white.

[Jumpman]

I thought that he did stick out and he like changed Egypt? I thought he wore like a hood, and avoided most people.

what ?? is this thread finely dead ?
