Hello Family:

How is it that people claim that Jesus was white, Although Joseph was black, Mary was black, Adam and Eve were black, and Moses (who was black) ended up marrying an Ethiopian (who was also black)?

Despite the creation of people in Spiritual history, How is it that God created all these black folks - under a white man?

Please clarify this.

There is nothing to be carified, if we did a Historical Analysis of this we would find that non of these folk actually existed.

You do realize that there are Jews in Ethiopia, that are jet Black, yes?

Am I reading your statement correctly, that you're saying that a human being had "all colors" of skin?

Meaning, his foot was blue, while his are was green?

There is not a human being walking this earth, past present or future that has looked like this.

Further, the Bible is very demonstrative in giving his appearance: "hair of wool, feet (skin) of burnt brass".

This is a Black man all day.

That is, assuming he historically exsisted in the first place.

History can.

If you can provide some empirical evidence that Abraham, Moses, David, etc. were actual, living, historical people, then your perspective is proven.

There is very little evidence that these people were nothing more than characters in the the Biblical story.

This subject seems to be overlapping from another thread, so I suggest we go into detail about it over there.

However, suffice it to say, that if you can't actually prove the physical exsistences of your Biblical characters, beyond the realm of the book in which they appear, then perhaps you should scrutinize your staunch adherance to your BELIEF a little more.

Please clarify this.
In reaction to the white supremist notions of making everyone in the Bible and history "white"...some black people have decided to arbitrarily make everyone black.

Let us not allow our zeal to destroy white supremacy blind us from historic realities.

The simple fact is Adam and Eve were most likely black and the Ethiopians were definately black (racially speaking), but Jesus, Joseph, Mary, and Moses were brown skinned Asians.

This is a joke.

I don't believe you've actually even read a book, outside of the Bible.

For one, there are PICTURES of both ALEXANDER and HANNIBAL.

Most of the Judeo-Christian world can't even agree on what ABRAHAM and SOLOMON looked like.

Both ALEXANDER and HANNIBAL have their faces impressed upon coins of the monetary systems of their times.

ALEXANDER named numerous cities in various lands after him He declared himself Emperor, from Africa to Persia to India. The citizens of those lands have public records with his official Seal on it.

SOLOMON was supposedly a "King", what lands were named after him? Why does no other society during his supposed "time" have no record of his kingship?

What does SOLOMON have, besides passages in the BIBLE?

Comparing fictitious characters to actual historical personages does not solidify your claim.

How's about we step outside the realm of what was written (which you seem to be stuck in), and deal with the actual physical evidence, if there is any.

I challenge you to do this.

PEACE NAT:

Your last word in your statement fits the best. It is un(not)believable for me.

However, you have to keep in mind, that the Judeo-Christian religious system does not, nor has it ever promoted intellectual growth.

Which is why most of the people you see here are always talking about BELIEVING.

It's a pathology that the European has woven into our minds, since he force-fed this system upon us.

Look at how the pathology works:

Blacks excel in "religious" matters, but lag behind in academia and intellectual pursuits.

The Divine Mind knows that the consciousness is based on both the academic (left side of the brain) merged with the spiritual (right side).

Our people walk through life, totally unbalanced.

True indeed, this is what I said.

However, I'll go through his statements:

Issac Newton,

He was not Black, first of all.

Second, he was very little of a Christian, if at all, as you can see in his biography here:

http://www.isaac-newton.info/isaac-newton/

He was more of a philosopher, than a religious believer.

I don't see why you mentioned him.

Or......

Albert Einstein

For that matter. He wasn't Black either. And though he was Jewish, he rejected much of the religous sensationalism that had plagued mankind during his time (and ironically still does).

Like NEWTON, EINSTEIN was more of a philosopher, and actually rejected most of Judeo-Christian perspectives.

http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Albert_Einstein

As for DR. KING, please enlighten us as to precisely what his intellectual expertise was.

He was only a DR in divinity, a title which some of the most ignorant of Southern Baptist preachers possess as well.

He may have been one of the most intellectual of Black people during his time in this part of the world, but considering our social and educational condition during that time, that's not really saying that much.

Thus, even though your implications of my statements are a bit off the mark, your examples are still incorrect.

Let's try this another way:

INTELLECT (http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/intellect.html)

in·tel·lect [ ínt’l èkt ] (plural in·tel·lects)


noun

1. mental ability: somebody’s ability to think, reason, and understand
appeals to the intellect rather than the emotions
a highly developed intellect


2. intelligent person: a very intelligent and knowledgeable person
The commission called on some of our most notable intellects in its search for solutions.

Please take notice to the terms in red above.

INTELLECTUAL (http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_1861621689/intellectual.html)

in·tel·lec·tu·al [ ìnt’l ékchoo əl ]


adjective

1. relating to thinking: relating to or involving the mental processes of abstract thinking and reasoning rather than the emotions


2. intelligent and knowledgeable: having a highly developed ability to think, reason, and understand, especially in combination with wide knowledge


3. for intelligent people: intended for, appealing to, or done by intelligent people
intellectual pursuits

Please check out the second definition.

I don't know where you cooked up that abridged definition of yours, but intellect and intellectualism are far more defined than that.


Your problem is that science and academia is your religon and scientist and academics are your gods. One day I hope you realize the one true God.

In order to understand a book, one must understand the person that wrote it.

Here is a bio on NEWTON, that gives more in-depth views into that book:

http://www.humanistictexts.org/newton.htm

Isaac Newton (1642-1727), the son of a farmer, was born in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. He rose to be head boy at the grammar school of Grantham, a town about six miles from his small hamlet. When his mechanical ingenuity and interest in mathematical problems caused relatives to recognize he would not be happy in farming, he was sent to Trinity College, Cambridge. Seeking information on trigonometry he put aside Euclid’s Elements as "a trifling book" and turned instead to Descarte’s Geometry. When he did badly in an examination on the Elements he reviewed it more carefully and concluded it was a work of considerable merit. In 1667, he took the degree of Master of Arts and was subsequently elected a fellow of Trinity College. In the following years he engaged in optical and chemical experiments and began his development of a theory of fluxions, later known as the calculus; he also investigated other branches of pure mathematics. Newton became Lucasian professor of mathematics in 1669, lecturing primarily on optics.



Newton was due to lose his position of Lucasian professor in 1675, as he had not met the religious requirements of the post. However, a patent from the crown enabled him to retain his position without the obligation to take holy orders, removing a source of financial anxiety. Although Newton did not meet the requirements of religious orthodoxy, he maintained a deep interest in theology, the history of religion, biblical scripture and prophesies, the chronology of ancient kingdoms, and in numerology. He devoted much time also to the study of chemistry and the works of the alchemists.

As you can see, NEWTON did not pursue religion in the devotional aspect, you you might do, but instead in the intellectual way.

Unless you proclaim to have an interest in ALCHEMY and NUMEROLOGY as well?

Does your version of Christianity teach this?

There's more:

Newton was elected to the Royal Society in 1672 at a meeting where his invention of the reflecting telescope was described. His first paper read before the society concerned the composition of white light, which had led him to recognize that different colors came to a focus at different distances from a lens. This led to his proposal for a mirror in a telescope as an alternative. He further concluded that color was an inherent property of different types of light, later publishing many papers on various aspects of optics.

The ROYAL SOCIETY is a MASONIC group.

Does that fit withing your religious Christian devotional view as well?

When a more accurate value for the size of the earth was established by P. Picard in 1674, a recalculation by Newton validated his original idea of gravitation determining the moon’s orbit. In 1684, when a discussion about gravity arose, Newton was able to draw on previous calculations to explain that a planet moving in the sun’s gravity traveled in an ellipse. In 1685 he sent a long paper to the Royal Society, describing this finding and summarizing his theory of gravity, which became the core of his book entitled Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), published in 1686 and 1687. This was the superb culmination of the remarkable insights into motion gained by Galileo earlier in the century. Galileo found that an object continues to move uniformly in a straight line if not acted upon by a force. If acted on by a force, it accelerates: the product of its mass and acceleration equals the force. To these two laws, Newton added a third: if one object exerts a force on another, the second exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. From these laws Newton was able to show how Kepler’s three laws of planetary motion arose, to calculate corrections to Kepler’s orbits, and to describe many other effects such as the precession of the equinoxes. Newton’s analysis of motion in the universe was unsurpassed until the advent of Einstein’s theory of relativity. It is still accurate for the vast majority of calculations of motion.

If you don't mind, I'd like for you to post some info from the book that you mentioned.

Here is a website that will help to explain to you the difference between aramaic and hebrew.

I'm not sure why you mentioned the ARAMAIC-HEBREW issue here, since this is the wrong thread for it.

However, since you did, I don't believe you read that thread in its entirety, lest you would have seen that it did not demonstrate the grammatical or scriptoral differences between these 2 languages--it only gives a historical pathology of them.

That link also gives numerous other implications about other things that I've mentioned previously here on this site as well--such as the book of ZOHAR, a PHOENICIAN/CANAANITE scripture, where the Bible comes from, and some other things.

A discussion for another time, perhaps.

Please stop with the name calling . I wont continue with this if we cant have a mature debate.

I would ask that you please refrain from admonishing people for their actions, when you are guilty of the very same.

You asserted yourself to make the claims that people are somehow deluded about their "imaginary beliefs" and whatnot yourself.

In order to understand a book, one must understand the person that wrote it.

Here is a bio on NEWTON, that gives more in-depth views into that book:

http://www.humanistictexts.org/newton.htm

Isaac Newton (1642-1727), the son of a farmer, was born in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. He rose to be head boy at the grammar school of Grantham, a town about six miles from his small hamlet. When his mechanical ingenuity and interest in mathematical problems caused relatives to recognize he would not be happy in farming, he was sent to Trinity College, Cambridge. Seeking information on trigonometry he put aside Euclid’s Elements as "a trifling book" and turned instead to Descarte’s Geometry. When he did badly in an examination on the Elements he reviewed it more carefully and concluded it was a work of considerable merit. In 1667, he took the degree of Master of Arts and was subsequently elected a fellow of Trinity College. In the following years he engaged in optical and chemical experiments and began his development of a theory of fluxions, later known as the calculus; he also investigated other branches of pure mathematics. Newton became Lucasian professor of mathematics in 1669, lecturing primarily on optics.



Newton was due to lose his position of Lucasian professor in 1675, as he had not met the religious requirements of the post. However, a patent from the crown enabled him to retain his position without the obligation to take holy orders, removing a source of financial anxiety. Although Newton did not meet the requirements of religious orthodoxy, he maintained a deep interest in theology, the history of religion, biblical scripture and prophesies, the chronology of ancient kingdoms, and in numerology. He devoted much time also to the study of chemistry and the works of the alchemists.

As you can see, NEWTON did not pursue religion in the devotional aspect, you you might do, but instead in the intellectual way.

Unless you proclaim to have an interest in ALCHEMY and NUMEROLOGY as well?

Does your version of Christianity teach this?

There's more:

Newton was elected to the Royal Society in 1672 at a meeting where his invention of the reflecting telescope was described. His first paper read before the society concerned the composition of white light, which had led him to recognize that different colors came to a focus at different distances from a lens. This led to his proposal for a mirror in a telescope as an alternative. He further concluded that color was an inherent property of different types of light, later publishing many papers on various aspects of optics.

The ROYAL SOCIETY is a MASONIC group.

Does that fit withing your religious Christian devotional view as well?

When a more accurate value for the size of the earth was established by P. Picard in 1674, a recalculation by Newton validated his original idea of gravitation determining the moon’s orbit. In 1684, when a discussion about gravity arose, Newton was able to draw on previous calculations to explain that a planet moving in the sun’s gravity traveled in an ellipse. In 1685 he sent a long paper to the Royal Society, describing this finding and summarizing his theory of gravity, which became the core of his book entitled Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), published in 1686 and 1687. This was the superb culmination of the remarkable insights into motion gained by Galileo earlier in the century. Galileo found that an object continues to move uniformly in a straight line if not acted upon by a force. If acted on by a force, it accelerates: the product of its mass and acceleration equals the force. To these two laws, Newton added a third: if one object exerts a force on another, the second exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. From these laws Newton was able to show how Kepler’s three laws of planetary motion arose, to calculate corrections to Kepler’s orbits, and to describe many other effects such as the precession of the equinoxes. Newton’s analysis of motion in the universe was unsurpassed until the advent of Einstein’s theory of relativity. It is still accurate for the vast majority of calculations of motion.

In 1690 Newton wrote a Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of the Scripture. Shortly afterwards, he realized that it discredited two Biblical passages supporting the Christian doctrine of the trinity, and the consequences this could have in the England of his day alarmed him. The practice of burning heretics alive continued well into the Eighteenth Century. He therefore sought to have this book published in France. When a version in Latin, the common language of Europe, was proposed, Newton withdrew the manuscript from publication. In analyzing the mathematics of the solar system, Newton clearly places the sun at the center of planetary orbits; but he takes care to remark that others may envision the planets as revolving around the earth.

This clearly states that NEWTON was not a fan of Judeo-Christian thought whatsoever.

And why does your responses always end in what "God" is supposed to show me?

Why would you pick the worst examples to post here? Wicked white men who had no other agenda than to control a group of people.

That's who you compare me to?

What about The DALAI LAMMA? Or the Sages of the DOGON? Or the Shamans of the NAVAJO?

Each of them make the same claims, yet none of these men have performed wicked acts, certainly not to any degree that those Devils you mentioned have done.

There are thousands of people in the nut-house who say they are God or claim that God speaks to them yet neither you nor them can control most of what happens in your lives.

For every thousand that you name, there are a thousand that are just the opposite.

Besides, once again, you're not listening (what else is new), so I'll say it again:

Being the SOUL CONTROLLER of one's universe is an ever-living journey. My journey is no where near complete......Is yours?

The real God is ever showing you who is really in charge by certain events that happen in your lives....... but do you ever take heed?

You can keep your "real God".......I have no usage for an imaginary character that you read about in a book.

Until someone provides empirical evidence, there is no conclusive proof that the characters in the Bible were/are anything but that.

I'm really not certain what to make of this. No one is miscontruing the message with/from the man.

Yes, King and Marley were black, but it would do both their legacies an injustice, if someone saw fit to paint them both white 2000 years from now.

If all their (Christ, King, Marley) messages were messages of truth, then it is not Truth if their images have been misportrayed.

Truth is truth in ALL things, not just in some.

I’m sure there were many Black African-Asiatic ascetics walking around Jerusalem since the most ancient of times, now what were all of their names and who was deeper than who, is a question for only the seers.

But the question of Jesus complexion or color is full of white racist venom. Basically, the liberal white Christian always said, “it doesn't matter what color Jesus is” …right…as long as he’s white. :lol:

I always find it interesting how people love to enjoy and celebrate color in all aspects of nature, life and art. Color is a natural calibrator in nature…you can judge if something is ripe or inviting…it is used to denote sex and species or even poisonous reptiles in the animal kingdom and it has very important subconscious affects on our minds scientifically and metaphysically. But when it comes to people, its not important (unless somebody snatch a white woman’s purse and someone is calling the police)

What would a colorless world look like? It is an insult when whites try to cunningly placate to Blacks and say, “I don’t see any color when I’m looking at you”. That statement is a subconscious attempt by white folks to devalue your existence and the presence of melanin in your skin…basically making the interaction an even playing field, but giving them home advantage.

Like Dr. Cain Hope Felder once said, “the question is not, where are the Black folks in the bible, but where are the white folks”, But hey…he was only a esteemed Black New Testament professor at Howard University...that's right, a Black man just like Jesus.

Regardless of whether or not one believes he was a part of God, he still was a human in flesh and blood form. The race of a flesh and blood humans is not determined by whatever color another person imagines.

- Surely you jest - does a spirit have hair in YOUR terms????

- Are you another black person who refuses to see Jesus as BLACK even though it's laid out in YOUR OWN SCRIPTURES?????

- A black Christian trying to find ways to make THEIR Jesus other than black as THEIR bibl describes is very amusing, yet Quite puzzeling to the "eye"....................like CBS, we'll be watching!!!!!!!

Yeah, it is kind of ignorant when people say Jesus is whatever color you want him to be. Bull crap. Regardless of whether or not one believes he was a part of God, he still was a human in flesh and blood form. The race of a flesh and blood humans is not determined by whatever color another person imagines.

Anyway, it makes sense that whites would see Jesus as white, because they want to link themselves as being on the level of godliness.

AAAAA-men...tell it, like it T.-I.- 'tis sister...!!! :D

Then that means you are truly lost my brother. Pray to God and ask him to help you understand the bible then you will find your way through all the confusion that the devil uses to try to discombobulate us.

Isn't if funny how Christians are the first one's to bring up how cleavor and deceptive the DEVIL is!!!!!!!!!!! Yet they say that, how did you put it OCEOLO "that NO ONE KNOWS GOD, we just know that he loves us" (funny here that you did not use the word "believe".......Now how could you know the Devil so well and not know your own GOD, other than the HE (you don't even respect the femenine aspect of creation) loves us....???????????

- the way you (christians) speak of both makes them sound one in the same....

makes wonder just how well they know Satan and why they stick so closely to every word written in RED in the so-called bible.......

- but I will take your advice, as a matter of fact I have the bible in my hands right now and I think I'll take a look and see what it says about judging others.......as this has become all you seem to be able to do consistantly!!!

- I'll let ya know what I find!!!!

What I said was we dont know everything about God because he is to awesome to be fully understood by humanity but we do know enough to know that he loves us and what he wants from us . God has also told us about the devil so we can keep from being deceived by him.

I am not judging anyone but if someone is doing wrong you should always try to correct them and how I know right from wrong is because it is shown to us in the bible

- must I quote your exact words which you have seemed to have forgotten....

OCEOLO said: "God is God and he is one but he reveals himself as father ,son and holy spirit but he is still just one god . This is hard to understand fully because of our limited humanistic knowledge God cant be adequately defined in our terms but the important thing is God is all good and all powerful and he loves us all."

so again if God can't be adequately defined by a Christian, then why is it so easy for Christians to call others the DEVIL or say they are being controlled by Devils, or unclean spirits????????? This, without a doubt is saying that YOU (christians) know the Devil better than your own God.........

Keep in mind that Christianity is still Anti-Christ spelled backwards as the y & I in the english language are interchangeable./

The bible tells us about the devil and the ways in which he trys to lead us astray so a christian can usually tell when the devil is at work.

Why do you have this strange fixation with words and what they spell when viewed backwards . These things are just coincidences nothing more.

a strange fixation?????? the only word I have ever shown backwards here is CHRISTIANITY, so for you to say I have a fixation is very misleading to others viewing......but I overstand that that is the CHRISTIAN way!!!!!!

The proof only leads to the Fact that the (White-Race) Europian is a Lier. And that they Re-Wrote History (Our-Story) and Put them-selves in Our-Place. In other words, They (Europians) Stole Our (Afrikan) Legacy and Birth Right. So,...Now that we know, if there is no more doupt that is,...What are we going to do about it???
