Yup, Jesus was a fan of small government too and really disliked all those Roman immigrants that flooded into his homeland. Had Jesus and the apostles been carrying, there is no way he ends up on that cross. Really it is a story about keeping immigrants out and packing heat. It really remains relevant in these trying times with vandals at the wall trying to force their brown bodies into our country.
If anyone reads the biblical account of Jesus, it is mostly about people he doesn't like and making sure that those who listen to him won't like those people either.
I don't know where to post this but; if this was a person of color they'd be a stomped mud-hole in the ground. What the actual F'in F?
It is pretty racist to assume all people in the Middle East are a certain color. It is a very diverse place. Many white and brown people and all the tones inbetween. It is such a nonissue though. I don't recall any passages that mention his skin color because it just isn't that big of a deal.
According to the Bible, he wasn't... Scholars also believe he was not "white"... https://www.history.com/news/what-did-jesus-look-like https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2016/april/why-jesus-skin-color-matters.html
The talk of white supremacy comes from an honest study of the history of this nation, and to a larger extent, the world.
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”
According to the bible, he was a carpenter (same trade as his earthly father) but in those days it could have meant he was a builder or even handyman. I know... joking, joking...
He was also a social democracy guy - not sure why his followers are so greedy, they should support what Jesus supported. DD
So you think in the time of Jesus the middle East was a very diverse place. Really? After making that post nobody should ever take anything you say seriously.
