Jesus: Black or White?

Was Jesus black or white or neither? 

Jesus was neither white (as in European) nor black (as in sub-Saharan African) in the modern racial sense. He was a Jewish man from the Middle East, born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth in 1st-century Judea, a region in what is today Israel/Palestine.

Likely Appearance Based on History and Anthropology:

• Skin Tone: Likely olive or medium brown, typical of Semitic peoples in the region at that time.

Jesus was a Judean not a Palestinian, but He was a Refugee

Jesus was not a Palestinian he was a Judean. 

Jesus was a Jew from the region of Judea, making him a Judean. The term "Judean" is the origin of the English word "Jew". Jesus's identity is inextricably linked to his Jewish heritage, which includes his adherence to the Second Temple Judaism, his observance of Jewish festivals, and his worship in synagogues. His interactions with Jewish people and his teachings were all within the context of Jewish life during his time.

Why Christians Should Avoid Reiki

Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" comes from two Japanese words:

• "Rei" meaning “universal”
• "Ki" meaning “life energy”

How It Works:

Practitioners believe that they can channel healing energy into a person by placing their hands lightly on or just above the body. The idea is that this energy promotes physical, emotional, and spiritual healing by balancing the body’s energy flow.

My Grace Is Sufficient

"My Grace Is Sufficient for You"

When God calls you, He equips you. Everything you need to fulfill your calling has already been placed inside you by the One who created you. You don’t have to see yourself as incapable or unqualified. Instead, see yourself as empowered and chosen by God.

There's nothing ETHICAL about a NON MONOGAMOUS POLY MARRIAGE - it's called ADULTERY!

Live And Let Live?

Would Jesus really say 'live and let live'?! 

I never read that in the Bible.

Promoting LGBT in the name of tolerance is not a biblical concept, or that Jesus ever promoted.

While I don't judge others challenges for who or where they find themselves in life, including those in the LGBT community, I do recognize absolutes as far as standards presented in Christianity.

NIV FALSE BIBLE VERSION

Many King James Only (KJV-Only) advocates believe that the New International Version (NIV) and other modern Bible translations are corrupt because they rely on different manuscript sources, primarily the Alexandrian texts. These arguments come from scholars and preachers who hold to the Textus Receptus (Received Text) and believe the King James Version (KJV) is the only true and preserved Word of God. Below is a summary of their main objections to the NIV and the Alexandrian texts.

Discernment of spirits

The gift of discerning of spirits is one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit listed in 1 Corinthians 12:10, where Paul writes that some are given "the ability to distinguish between spirits." This gift enables a believer to perceive and recognize the presence, influence, or origin of spiritual forces—whether they are from God, demonic, or simply human.
