A black Jew, I presume grin. Jesus Christ was no different from the Jews of His days. Unless you want us to believe that the Jews of His days were black? Btw, Jesus Christ emancipates and frees the mind to live out it's potential.
In the songs of Solomon, Jesus was described as having woolly hair and brown skin...

I wonder who told you that? By the way, Jesus Christ was not around when songs of Solomon was written and does not explicitly describe Jesus. The man described has dark, bushy hair, but it’s part of a romantic poem, not a theological portrait.

There are many Christians, Jews and Muslims that have contributed to today's civilisation. It isn't about religion but government policies that support these initiatives. It is 2025. Let's apply our knowledge critically.



Omoawoke:
Normally I ignore single digit IQ people

But let me make this an exception

It’s weird that some people still think development automatically means Abrahmic religions. Yet the most technologically advanced countries today like Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore are not Christian nations nor Islam.

Japan leads the world in robotics while still honouring Shinto shrines and ancestral spirits. China became a global superpower while practising Taoism, Confucianism and ancestor veneration. South Korea gives the world Samsung, Hyundai and LG and still celebrates Chuseok, bowing to their ancestors every year. Not one of these countries abandoned their roots in favour of a foreign god before achieving greatness.

So why do Africans believe kneeling to the god of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (foreign ancestors) is what makes them “civilised”?

What exactly is foolish here? A Lagos State public holiday for Isese is not idol worship. It is restoration of identity. You don’t need to hate Jesus or Mohammed to love your own ancestors. But if your first reaction to anything African is to scream “demonic”, then you have simply proven that mental colonisation worked, your body is free, but your mind is still in chains.

How many Chinese have you seen bearing Mohammad, Ibrahim, Michael, Gabriel??
Just you confused black Africans, that take pride in bearing Arabic and Jewish names

People that want us to worship water we can sand fill in the name of ancestral practice are very unusual. Doesn't that sound assured you? What else, we should worship clay we can smash and use as decorative pieces for walls.

Ooni can volunteer Osun river and see it won't be sandfilled in a day.

Sheffdon:
bro there's sense in your write ups jare

Dem leave their own ancestry con dey practice and identify with foreign religion

Shame

In Oyinbo books they say tall, dark and handsome man, no one with two digits IQ ever thought they were referring to a Black man. It is always meant a white man with a darker complexion.

Lots of Middle Eastern have always had brown skin and wooly doesn't mean "African hair". It could be wooly to them but it doesn't mean it describes us. Jesus was never black and would never have been black.

Wooly hair is African hair. Go and look at Cotton wool again and come back. You are obviously not black cause you can’t tell the difference.

Again did you read the first paragraph, the example of tall, dark and handsome.

Whether it is African hair or not depends on the context, therefore in this context it is NOT wooly hair. There is no way he would have been a black man! He would have stood out and other descriptions would have mentioned this!

Even in Islamic context, there were people described as black, who weren't black but darker in comparison to the average Middle East. Yet there were actual black people in Islamic History.

You are even relying on Revelations written by John undecided which is sillier because the disciple John never wrote about Jesus.

A fisherman could not have written a detailed account in sophisticated Greek. It was impossible so no.

Jew ko Jew no.
