The picture of a white Jesus is widely circulated and accepted as His image. But why? There is a need for all of us to feel like we can relate with Him, which is probably why it was painted it as such. But if studies show that He more than likely wasn't white why do we feel we must keep using that image?
Especially when it was used to condemn other races in earlier times... I say this a black Christian who has grown up in a country where slaves where told they were unholy and deserved this treatment because they were black and where Christianity was forced on them as their only solution that could only partially save them because they still had their skin that was a result of their sin.
For anyone who is looking for a biblical explanation of the gospel and salvation, I would highly recommend checking out the scribd website that is listed on my channel. The scripture references given on there make it very clear and easy to understand.
also, you obviously have no common sense. You are angry because you think white people are downgrading another race, so you downgrade all white people? Hmm, is it me or do i smell hypocrasy?
I heard this song played on TV after watching a particular radio and TV host at his rally in Washington DC last month. This song moves me tremendously. God bless you for posting it.
@dailynewscenter Watch the video again. At 4:06, there is a picture of african-american people. At 3:00 there is a picture of a little asian children praying. I'm sorry that obviously some "white" people have hurt you so much that you feel that they are the "most wicked race in the world". It's a shame that people can not see past color and look at the person within.It is what I strive to do every day! It is what the Lord has called us all to do!! I have prayed blessings down upon you.
But you (the Body of Christ, the Church) are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
There are only two races of humans - those who are "in Adam" and those who are "in Christ"!
Eph 2:14-16 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.
Obviously you're white. So you're saying that Jesus is NOT depicted as a white man in these videos? And that 98% of the images showing white men, women and babies smiling, being baptized, praying and lifting their hands to God is not happening?
I'm not a racist. I'm an observant Christian who's a realist. And the reality is the majority of white Christians are racist. You all confess Christ but condemn blacks and other races to hell. You believe that God, Jesus and the Angels are white.
actually sir, there is no race in heaven. When we die and go to heaven we will have new bodies. No hate and no discrimination. And Jesus wasn't white or black, in fact he was middle eastern. He was tan like an Isreali, didn't have long hair because long hair was against Roman law then, and was built well because he was a carpenter until he started his ministry. You should really brush up on your history. And he lived to teach us not to hate, and died to save us..
@dailynewscenter Ummmm..... I'm Obviously White. My friend, James Huey ( the guy that wrote this song) is Obviously black. I'm not a racist... BUT because I have to prove it does not mean I'm lashing out condemn anyone. I have never seen God, Jesus or Angels. but I believe that they are there. I don't care what color they are.
@landjml They are spirits not races. Jesus's earthly body was that of a Jew. But God is A spirit ! He doesnt see us as any colors or sinful disgusting people. His wrath was satisfied 2000yrs ago when Jesus DIED in our place, so when he see;s us, he see's his sons sacrifice Not all our mistakes. Gods Love and the holy ghost is the only way being a Christian is possible. God is GREAT !
why so many white people in the video clips? what? blacks and other races of people don't think about the lord?
white christians (and whites in general) crack me up. even when they mean good, they do evil. BTW, Jesus AIN'T white! - He's Jewish.
How dare the person who made his video downgrade his race with those false images of him as a white man. that's an insult to his heritage....WHITES: the most wicked race in the world.
Better to be thought a fool and remain silent.....
....WHITES: the most wicked race in the world.
Unfortunately for you, all doubt has been removed,. You're a fool and also a racist.
Perhaps a day will come, when God will heal you of your HATE for your fellow man regardless of their color. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ. Until you realize thatt, the demon of hate will knaw upon your soul.
Sorry that you feel that way... I actually dont discriminate against any culture or race. because our race doesnt matter... God made us all in the image in God... and pretty sure he wasnt just talking about his color. He made us to be like him... And to me it doesnt matter what race the people of this video are... what matters is the WORDS of the song... Thats it...
thanks for posting this song :) I really appreciate it
I wanted to speak about what Dailynewscenter said though. I don't think you are racist nor do I think you discriminate against any race but there is some things to consider in what he says.
Lastly: Why is it ok to put in one black, Asian or any race and state it is diverse. I'm not saying that's what you did. I don't think you realised majority of your pictures were of white people but ask yourself...why didn't I put in more images of other races...more than likely you won't come up with the "I'm racist answer". But you will see that we tend to lean towards representing our own race or the white race...especially when it comes to Christianity. God bless you..and thank you again :)
That whole statement that you just made ...that is not of the holy ghost .. sounds like you have a problem with race .. and apparently you also have a problem with pride .. you need to pray about that one .. christ ...and christianity is not about color or race . you do not have your eyes on god you got them focused on this world .
@dailynewscenter Grow up! God loves all races and colors. The intention of this video does not seem to impose racism nor does it show any other forms of racial discrimination. As a Christian, I feel this video is very moving and touching for the glory of our perfect God. You need to remove the plank out of your own eye before casting judgement on people with small splinters in their eyes. Your comment of calling whites "wicked racists" shows your immaturity and you need a heart check sir...
I don't think saying Jesus is white is a downgrade, just a misrepresentation. In your fight for equality please remember to act justly and show mercy...and to be loving to all... I know how easy it is to hate white people after learning the history and seeing racism is less than arms length away... but let there be gentleness and measured words in your response otherwise the message you're giving is lost. God bless you dailynewcenter... signed: A proud black
God really poured his blessing in this song....Every time I listen to this music, I always think of all the things that God has done for me..I'm so blessed!
When I listen to this song, I start to feel the presences of God. He's everything in this song. I just contain myself, I just cry, sing to (Him) right along this song, lift my hands and praises His name.
This is beautiful, but MY favorite version is by the "When I Think About the Lord" singer- songwriter, James Huey, who I am so happy to call my personal friend and fellow churchgoer.
omg every time i listen to it i always get goosebumps and wen i get goosebumps i get them so bad that it hurts! =]] idk how its possible and i no i sound weird but idk!! love this song
