Race & God: Black Nor White: Introduction

FreedomJournal

Greetings Brethren,

It is a crying shame that many relish and wallow in a destructive discussion regarding the ethnic origins of Jesus and the Prophets. But those that offer the defense for a Black Or White Jesus distort the Bible and are not pleasing to God. Let it be written that the righteous come to please God. THEREFORE DO YOU HONESTLY THINK THAT GOD IS PLEASED WITH ARGUMENTS ABOUT THE RACE AND COLOR OF HIS SON THE SAVIOR OF HUMANKIND?

For the record Jesus came to save the entire world from sin. Jesus did not come bearing the fruits of Christianity and a way for the transition from the Old to the New for a certain race or color of people. The FreedomJournal hereby declares that race as it relates to Jesus is only of any importance in refuting the lies of a White Jesus.

For the sake of Peace and Harmony among all people Jesus is not Black nor is Jesus White. Also, why involve ourselves in an endless discussion of Black or White Jews. Although Jesus came as a human with Divine attributes, he must remain non-racial. Black people don't play the spite game because of White ignorance and racism. As we all know anyone can be ignorant and Blacks can also be racists.

Peace and Love,
Carl Patton writing for FreedomJournal August 28, 2002 in the year of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

RACE & GOD
(BLACK NOR WHITE)

INTRODUCTION

In the name of Jehovah God, Master of the universe, Ruler of the earth.

My dearly beloved Brethren we greet you in the name of our Father, His Son our Savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. We thank God today for His many blessings and the message that he has rendered to us and the people of God. In a humble and sincere manner we note at the outset of this discussion and/or Introduction that God is not concerned about Race. However man in his wickedness and economic greed is concerned about Race.

Therefore, the FreedomJournal will post a series of articles noting the reality of this question. Meanwhile simply man and not God has placed Race in the discussion of "Is Jesus Black?" Also man and not God has caused many to argue for the ethnic identity of the Great Prophets and Apostles. However, who raises these questions?

Bear with us Brethren as we move into this discussion. We do not want to insult anyone but the Truth often renders a blow that is a "Wake up Call" and sometimes a "Call of Denial." The godless raise questions about the race and color of Jesus. Also, many Afro-Centric scholars raise these questions. Confused Christians raise these questions and various other mis-informed people throughout this land and country and the world.

At this point we will note the second most important fact regarding this discussion (The first was God is not concerned with Race). Who is qualified to raise the ethnic question regarding things Spiritual? The Bible scholar and those that are truly saved and follow True Christianity. This last statement from the analysis of the FreedomJournal leaves the multitudes out of the sphere of arguing pro or con. Also there should be no argument regarding the race of Jesus etc. as we will note.

Those that follow the Truth of the Bible know that God is no respecter of persons. Therefore we are taught to love all people regardless of race, creed, color are station in life. This list also includes our enemies and those that attempt to refute Christianity and all things Spiritual. In this case those that argue that Jesus is Black or White and render long dialogues to support their statements are not of God.

For example many of these people are students of the Black Experience thus they have come to realize that God and Christianity have impacted greatly on the Black Experience. This is good but what is bad is that they are not qualified to discuss or write about the Black Experience as it relates to Religion and/or Christianity if they are not True Christians.

For example the FreedomJournal is on record noting that Muslims are best suited to critique Islam. Non-Muslims can note a superficial analysis of Islam but the devout and sincere Muslim has the tools necessary to bring up for review a more logical list of questions and concerns than a mere historian are so-called Afro-Centric Scholar or a European steeped in Imperialism and the mood of the Colonial Masters.

The same things holds true for Christianity. As Christians we also note that there are many people that ascribe to a man-made version of Christianity. These people are just as Foolish as the unbeliever when they attempt to speak or write on God and Race. These are the people that are most confused because they don't realize what the Bible teaches. Thus they move from a human understanding and a point of departure noted in the history of mankind and not the essence of the Bible and God.

For the record we have previously noted that the Bible does not support the use of images of Jesus, nor the Prophets or Apostles. However, many still are confused. We are not so naive to realize that many will forever be confused until the Day of Judgment when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. So for the sake of those that seek knowledge, and Truth we will render a more detailed discussion on this question.

We as always are bound by the Holy Spirit. But we hope to begin with a discussion on God the Spirit which is non-racial. What is the essence or importance of those once chosen as God's people? Was this a choice of race, religion, was it for a reason and a season? Ever present in the minds of the Blacks that pursue the ethnic origins of Jesus is that White people have promoted a White Jesus. Why the Black and Why the White? Just why did White people promote a lie and just why did Blacks come along and take a lie to justify things not of God.

There is also the question of White and Black Supremacy that rises up out of the various lies about Jesus and the Prophets. Just what is this Supremacy and why does it exist? Also a critical concern whenever there are questions on the Black and White side we see questions of Black Unity. Are the questions regarding God and Race raised by Blacks an attack on Unity? Who profits from the lack of Black Unity? Is it a possibility that someone or thing breeds questions of Black Dis-Unity? Do unbelievers actually know the power and mood of Satan.
