Which is everyone’s right. I take no issue with it. In other words I am tolerant of it. You seem to feel a need to drive a wedge. Seems odd to me but have at it.

Kind of interesting that a full four fifths of US think we are on the wrong path, whatever that means. These two stats happen at the same time.

Modern depictions almost always show him as white as well. I'm aware there are others but I have seen zero in person. That take just shows you have went to churches in white areas. just saying. if your say in Buffalo. you think the stain glass or paintings at Friendship, Macedonia Baptist? Miricle mission's full gospel? Bethesda? on a side note the Iroquois had the peacemaker or Deganawida. its amazing how close that story is to the story of Jesus If Jesus was born in Jerusalem (called David) and is The Davidic line or House of David. its the same Davidic line that every monarch claims to be from.

These folks have learned literally nothing from the storyline of the Old Testament. It’s honestly both sad and cute. Still, they’ll keep trying to run from Him and God will keep continuing to pursue them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedboy7 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 If you look at the history of Christianity it’s clear that it’s a religion of peace and tolerance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine, but when you have a person, like say a supreme court justice, say she wants to enact the Kingdom of God on earth, it makes religion wide open for discussion, mocking or otherwise I have very close religious friends and some believe the earth is just like six thousand years old. It's difficult for me not to get sarcastic over that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
