Was Jesus Black? Are you Awake or “Woke”? [PART FOUR]

According to HISTORY PHOTOGRAPHED:
“A portrait of Jesus Christ was created using artifcial intelligence by combining traditional iconography with information about Jesus' ethnicity and culture during the time and region in which he lived. Most modern historians believe that Jesus, who was born in Bethlehem, a region near Jerusalem in the Middle East, was a man with black skin tones and distinctive facial features. However, modern depictions of Jesus, which are infuenced by the Roman expression of Jesus Christ, often show him as a white man with straight hair.”

From my book co-authored with my brother that was published in 1999 (23 years ago) titled:
“Uncovering The Hidden Stranger Within: Answering the Question of Identity”.

"I came across a site that dealt with Afro-centricity. It went on to assert that Jesus was a fighter for the freedom of black people. It further asserted that He came to liberate people of color from their white oppressors. These words would have read and sounded quite differently, if the words "black" and "white" were excluded. The color constraints added exclude a large segment of the world from God's salvation. This view simply reduces the salvation of man to a mere revolution!

"Clearly we see the propaganda emerging - the issue here is the submerging of truth into obscurity, while the distraction lingers strong. It is no longer a Jesus dying for the WHOLE WORLD, it is a "Black Nationalist freedom fighter."

"The sensationalism involved is not subtle but blunt. Why would anyone go so far? Without question, the African American has been stripped of his rich history and vital contributions.

“However, relying solely on a natural heritage to establish your worth is like seeing a picture that displays food in it, and expecting it to satisfy your hunger. Instead, take a hold of your identity in Christ, and let Him create a new history for you that can never be deprived. If your identity is distorted by your Afro-centric view of Christ, your destiny will be altered. Why? Because it will remain confined to only the biased views that keep it going. By so doing, it does not embrace the broader view of God's love. Focusing on the 'color' of Christ is majoring on minors."
