'Jesus Was Not A White Man' Says Archbishop Of Canterbury, Justin Welby by amaifehenry(m): 11:16am On Jun 28, 2020
Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury and head of the Church of England, has said the church should reconsider its portrayal of Jesus as a White man.

Speaking to the BBC Today Programme, Welby was asked whether the way the western church "portrays Jesus" needed to be "thought about again" and "re-imagined" in light of recent Black Lives Matter protests following the death of George Floyd.
"Yes, of course it does," he said, adding that Jesus was portrayed differently in countries around the world. He was regularly in touch with Anglican Church leaders from around the world, he said, who did not portray Jesus as White.
"You go into their churches and you don't see a White Jesus -- you see a Black Jesus, or Chinese Jesus, or a Middle Eastern Jesus -- which is of course the most accurate.
"You see a Fijian Jesus -- you see Jesus portrayed in as many ways as there are cultures, languages and understandings."
Welby added that the representations of Jesus were not, however, "who we worship" but rather served as a "reminder of the universality of the God who became fully human."

Britain's imperialist monuments face a bitter reckoning amid Black Lives Matter protests. Addressing calls for monuments with links to the UK's imperialist history and slave trade to be removed, he said statues in Canterbury Cathedral would be put under review.

Let's stop all these nonessential arguments that has nothing to do with our eternal life..

JESUS Christ is not Black! Neither is He White! JESUS CHRIST IS HOLY! And Only Holy Persons will see HIM..

JESUS CHRIST does see anyone as White or Black! All HE sees are Humans He created in His Image...

What is Essential for us all now is for us to Prepare ourselves to Meet JESUS...
any other thing is irrelevant !

Nobody is White or black in the first place.

What we have is different shades of BROWN AND PALE SKINNED people.

It's just a brainwash instilled in people over the years by the PALE SKINNED supremacist people.
They attached everything evil and bad with the black colour and the opposite with white colour.

That's why they call dark skinned people (BROWN PEOPLE) blacks and call themselves Whites.

I blame you senseless Brown people who don't know their skin colours for accepting that slave tag/identity/label.

So many fools bow down and worship this image drawn by an artist (Who is not even a Christian) in the 12th century...

And when they see other people worshipping other images and statues, they ignorantly and arrogantly call them idolaters. grin

Jesus was a MAN. And he came from a tribe or region or country.


He would surely look like his ancestors or descendants....


It's funny how people know Abraham's tribe and his people. And therefore Jacob, Isaac etc...

But want to argue about Jesus's complexion.

And when did we become so carnally indeed to be arguing the colour of Jesus' skin? When did we start deviating from the scriptures? if the color of his skin was so important to God, then it should have been revealed in the scriptures

Of course he's a man.

Matthew 12:40: For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Buy people ignorantly call him God out of obsessions because they have their minds manipulated by:
John
Paul
And King James especially.
The drunk and crazy fiction story writers.

Lol, they're still confused about the skin color of this character in the bible. grin
They are able to know about a private conversation that ensued between two people in the bible, but are unable to know the skin color of Jesus. grin
