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 origin 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?
