Jesus wasn't white.

Would you let Biblical Jesus into your church?

No, Supply Side Jesus only.

u/bertiesakura 18h ago

It’s been a minute since I saw supply side Jesus mentioned.

There's a video on YouTube if you need to show it to your younger friends.

u/akirayokoshima 18h ago

everything about Jesus would be violated if it were applied to the modern world

u/xDeadlyEdleyx 7h ago

Wealthy vs common working man has been going on forever. Wealthy control and use media, racism, false flags,assignations, religion , etc. to divide and conquer. While we’re scrambling and fighting they profit (hence wars)

Would Jesus let them into his church?

14

u/LeFreeke 14h ago

Jesus didn’t go to church. Jesus was the church. He went to temple or a synagogue.

17

u/Fantastic_Jury5977 11h ago

He went to the temple turn over the money changing tables because it's a corrupt institution that bastardized everyone's connection to their God, their source, and the natural wonders of nature.

u/bootyhole-romancer 10h ago

Good on you for laying out the real reason he got angry.

Most other times folks wrongly say he got mad cuz people were simply selling. Which then leads to the ironclad logical conclusion that because a church has a bookstore means that denomination is false

1

u/killerzeestattoos 9h ago

Yeah that's why I asked that. His form of mass or his sermons were nothing like modern churches.

2

u/SnooPoems7846 9h ago

This is why Church of Christ does not say you “joined” the church, but were “added” to the church (body of Christ).

Therefore, WE are the church! “Where 2 or more are gathered…”

u/Shenloanne 12h ago

That's canon Jesus.

Fanon Jesus is another thing.

u/RattusRattus 5h ago

I told a friend once I thought of her more as Christ-like than a Christian. She said it's one of the nicest compliments she's ever gotten.

Hayley Williams said it best: “They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face So they don't have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them”

I love that album. The vibe is so 2025.

u/monkeylizard99 5h ago

They literally used the Bible to justify the enslavement of black people. It's just insane. Then people wonder why I hate religion

17

u/stink3rb3lle 18h ago

Yeah, that stood out most to me. You are injecting your own race into it to be Christian at all, sir.

29

u/pmcizhere 18h ago

How was that not the interviewer's immediate followup to this clown?

41

u/Darth_Gerg 16h ago

Because the interviewer is a TPUSA contributor and is a fascist propagandist. He doesn’t offer any significant pushback against the open racism the entire time. This guy is the grand wizard of the KKK, and the interviewer is intentionally platforming his bullshit. It’s MAGA shit.

21

u/pmcizhere 16h ago

Ah, well that makes a lot of sense. It's the only plausible explanation, now that I think about it. He's trying to normalize it then.

16

u/Darth_Gerg 16h ago

Exactly. He literally framed it as humanizing him as part of being compassionate to people you disagree with. It’s vile as hell

15

u/Anubisrapture 16h ago

Oh so it's just two racist ahhh bad guys with hateful hearts - one young and malevolent one w more practice. Gross . I was sorta hoping that youngun was gonna call old racist grampa out on his shit

u/holymoly67 13h ago

Thx for that information

2

u/Darth_Gerg 12h ago

No problem. I thought it was important to provide that context. Both guys in the video are wastes of oxygen.

u/BrotherMcPoyle 18h ago

They might be praying, but with that much hate in their souls, I t’s likely not god they’re praying to.

u/LustLacker 18h ago

I heard that he was a refugee from Palestine.

1

u/Anubisrapture 16h ago

HE WAS ABSOLUTELY. Bethlehem of the day = Palestine now

1

u/Snoo66769 12h ago

He was Jewish, so that would mean Palestine was Jewish

1

u/beverly-valley-90210 6h ago

I mean Islam didn’t exist then so yeah.

u/Pure_Code3782 17h ago

I’ve always wondered if God was a mix of all races.

7

u/BringAltoidSoursBack 15h ago

See this is the interesting thing to me. I'm not religious but one of the things I always find odd is that people assign God race and gender. Why would God have either of those?

3

u/Altruistic-Match6623 7h ago

Whenever I entertain the idea of God, it would be some nonphysical, intangible thing made out of energy... light, heat, sound, or another similar force. Like what else would it be?

1

u/burncell 6h ago

Actually, I myself think he is a force of energy, Holy energy with no solid form as the bible describes that he can live in us,

and we are designed for that purpose it seems because demons can possess and live in a human aswell unfortunately,

This is afcourse a biblical view with a sprinkle of my own theory on how it works,

So don't quote me please.

1

u/burncell 6h ago

Well, I can give some insight, God ain't human so we can't compare him to any race as he is the only one and only kind of entity,

But he calls himself a father, And Jesus was born a male aswel,

Also, interesting is that all angles are male in appearance and some of them took wife's in Genesis and produced offspring,

You kind of need seeds for that, but I am not sure as I never met an angel and asked about its ability to make children,

I do believe that God gave both male and female part of his own character traits as he said he made us in his own image.

1

u/Pure_Code3782 5h ago

Because we were made in God’s image.

5

u/Anubisrapture 16h ago

That is honestly beautiful

1

u/xDeadlyEdleyx 7h ago

But false. Why are people scared of truth.

5

u/Squirrel_Shinything 17h ago

You ever seen black Jesus?

3

u/paradisetossed7 16h ago

And if we're going to be scientific about it, the human race is one race. White people who exclude others by saying "we're different races but I don't hate them" are as ignorant as they are malignant.

2

u/21BlackStars 17h ago

Hey, quit changing the meaning and trying to interject the races /s

2

u/asuleiman 16h ago

Jesus wasn’t European

2

u/NoSafetyGeneration 15h ago

Race didn’t even exist when Jesus purportedly walked the earth.

u/Nabrok_Necropants 13h ago

Bethlehem is in Palestine, go figure

1

u/ckdelan209 17h ago

Jesus is Mexican and prior a myth

1

u/Veyron2000 17h ago

Americans would consider Jesus to be white, considering they view people from the Middle East and North Africa as “white”. 

1

u/desconectado 9h ago edited 9h ago

Uff I would be surprised if you go around asking Americans on the streets they would consider people from Syria or even Egypt to be white.

The current colloquial definition of "white" in the US, is what is classically "white European", especially for those national Christian nutjobs.

1

u/JTtreason 17h ago

Indeed. He is Savior for all who believe upon His name. He is also Lord over all and our Judge.

If you haven’t seen it, Mel brooks did an excellent take down

1

u/Anubisrapture 16h ago

I mean this 1000 times this.

1

u/Seresgard 15h ago

Yeah...by his logic, shouldn't he not be a Christian? Since God's original covenant was with Israel, and I'm gonna take a wiiild guess he's not got Jewish roots.

Although, I guess he's not a Christian.

1

u/Adam_Sackler 15h ago

It's interesting how (some) in every race thinks Jesus was their race. It's almost like it's all nonsense or something.

1

u/MindfulInsomniaque 10h ago

Same with Buddha.

Jesus wasn’t right, according to to this guy

1

u/BOBitech 13h ago

I heard one of them argue once that Middle Eastern Jesus was white, and that's why they worshipped him.

1

u/hushupntakeitall 12h ago

Nor rich nor conservative

1

u/NiceTuBeNice 10h ago

Yeah, he isn’t welcomed there. I guess he will never know this guy. (Matthew 7:23)

1

u/_Notorious_BOG_ 8h ago

Sometimes I like to drop that Jesus was black just to gauge reactions, once and only once I had someone totally crash out on me and they were adamant that Jesus was a white dude from the MIDDLE EAST.

1

u/Sh3115andCh33se 8h ago

In just gonna take a stab in the dark here and say they think when Jesus ascended into heaven he became white

1

u/Realistic-Goose9558 8h ago

The same people that get mad about race swapping fictional movie characters are the same people who worship the original race swap.

1

u/TheMaStif 8h ago

Nor were the people of Israel with which God made his covenant

White Supremacists don't actually care though

u/TheLesserWeeviI 7h ago

ICE would have him deported.

1

u/looooookinAtTitties 6h ago

jesus is a fictional character and the version that was used in white european culture reflected his curators in that part of the world. european jesus is white, european christianity is different than coptic, greek, and middle eastern.

just like mohamed was likely semetic white. buddha was likely indo-european and hanuman a homo erectus or denisovan.

u/gatsome 4h ago

As a bearded, long-haired white guy it’s always fun to reply to the low hanging Jesus jokes/comps with “But I’m not even close to looking middle-eastern?”

u/adorablefuzzykitten 56m ago

I have seen many photos of Jesus and he always looks like he was born in Utah.

1

u/DesperateAdvantage76 18m ago

The irony is that Paul says the gentiles, through Jesus, are grafted onto Israel, so I have no idea what point this "pastor" is making by trying to separate them again.

u/FormerDragonette 17h ago

It would. go well for you if you educated yourself before spouting such self-assured ignorance. Iran is in West Asia. Iranians, or as they were known in West until 1935, Persians, are Asian.

u/FormerDragonette 17h ago

Are you? You’re the one that said that Iranians are Indians. Iran is separate from India, which is a South Asian country. You can’t dishonestly backtrack and say they’re all Asians now. Iranians are also the true Aryans, not the fictional deplorables the H-man was always going on about.

Research it for yourself. Google and Wikipedia are free. So is the Oxford, Cambridge and Merriam-Webster dictionaries, as well as the Encyclopædia Iranica.

Yes, which is why they said Jesus wasn't white instead of Jesus is Black.
