Not all but some. I think everything points to insecurity.

I am not saying we should sort out all the issues before people come to Christ. I am saying the issues must be solved and I believe that is part of God's heartbeat. Not every one is called to be a Preacher, Prophet etc but everyone is called to live the gospel. Sorting the issues is not...

I like that. Pharaoh oppressed the Israelites because they were increasing in number. He did not want to loose his power as it had a lot of impact on his self esteem. I think insecurity is destroying humanity. Oppression is a sign that the perpetrator is simply intimidated. We find our...

Yes you can shake the dust off your feet and someone will take off where you left. Please don't take my words out of context. They make more sense in their context.

So the white man will reject the gospel based on the pictures and the colour of my skin. The black man will reject the pictures of the white Jesus and view it as an attempt for the white people to control them once again. May God give us the wisdom to address such matters in the church. Yes...

Interesting "blacks enslaved more white people than blacks". How can you support that? Yes blacks still enslaves blacks Native American enslaved blacks. There are no Native Americans in my country. It's the white people who colonized us and gave us the Bible while exploiting our resources...

I want to go to a white community and give them the pictures of a black Jesus while preaching the gospel. I wonder what their reaction will be? There is a lot I can tell you to show you that those pictures are a stumbling block. What are the things that I do that will make a white man not to...

I hope I did not offend anyone. It was not my intention. I learnt a lot today and I believe we have a long way to go.

Africa is a continent and not a country. How is Jesus portrayed in you country?, most people don't ask that question. If you can ask that question, you will probably understand where I am coming from.

I understand, black people in my country don't relate to the Jesus that is being portrayed to them. I became interested in this topic when I was confronted with questions about the white Jesus.

I understand. It's my first time seeing these pictures. I grew up seeing Jesus portrayed as a white man.

How are they wrong? I will gladly apologize if you try explaining that to me. My ideas may be wrong but they are coming from a good place, hence am willing to apologize. It is not my intention to cause harm, I was just addressing the things that are happening in this time. Others are also...

If you say so.

That's interesting. You know the truth and still rejected the pictures, how much more of an unbeliever or a bitter person. I would also do the same if I were in your shoes. Am glad it was not a Christian who did that.

We are both Christians, so what are the things that we both agree on in regards to the Bible?

Y Yes there are white people who sacrificed a lot for the gospel and also did great things, touching the lives of many people. I don't believe in "all white people are racist", or "all black people are thugs"

Honestly I don't care about the image of Jesus, I just care about those that are blinded by Jesus being portrayed as a white man. Your answer had an element of truth but your way of explaining it became a stumbling block for me. I understood you after having read @Chester post.

You understand my heartbeat. Honestly, I didn't expect anyone to understand. Thank you for your words and compassion. That really means a lot to me. The image of Jesus is also irrelevant for me. I just have compassion for bitter people. Your response is inspired by the Holy Spirit. I just...

Thanks for that info. Never thought about it that way. Is it many or just a few? We have many dark skinned Africans and a few light skinned Africans.

Then Jesus should not have an image. Are you condoning the pictures of Jesus that are circulating in the world? or should we rather just do away with them?. I think we can experiment or destroy the pictures of Jesus since there is no Jew nor Greek in Him. For me, it doesn't serve me at all but I...
