This has been brought up many times and I'm wondering what you guys think of this:

Creationists believe that a higher being created land, air, water, people etc... But since everything has to be created by something, how did the higher being form? Because if he was made out of "Dust and thin air" or was always "There" then that's sorta contradicting the whole theory of creationism.

I'm not athiest, but just curious as to what you guys think about this. I'm Agnostic...

Bible, Quran, The Vedas etc... quotes are all welcome, as long as they actually fit this topic. IF you choose to give an example in the bible and/or the Qur'an, please state where in the scipture and what kind of bible/Qur'an (yes, there are different versions of the Qur'an too) you're using.

if a true Christian only worships jesus christ , wouldnt it be a sin to worship some human being that lives in a fortress, someone who wears gold chains, fur coats and is being served on hand and foot?
Is that not against every thing Jesus has taught us? should a true Christian show his believes in daily actions of selfless acts and not give his/her hard earned money to a better cause , other then the vatican? why is it that there is so much love for the pope and not for jesus christ! because if I remeber correctly there is no human represetative for God and Jesus christ! how much more power and money does that outfit need to establish itself as a world ruler???????????

I cant imagine that this sexist , rich , self loving place is of christian values at all !!

I am a christian , and none what this place represents is christian in the least bit! where is the humanity , where is that humble behavior , jesus preached?

In the ELCA, there is a church in San Fransico (go to herchurch.org) that has COMPLETELY perverted Christianity. They call God 'she' (ugh), and rewrite the Bible to mean whatever it is they want it to mean, even throwing away Christ's teachings. How can you say Jesus was wrong, or is 'irrelevant for today' and still be allowed to call yourself a Christian???!!! Christian, by definition, means FOLLOWER OF CHRIST! Which I am proud to be. Tell me how this perversion is so allowed?

When they say that the bible is "God's living word" incapable of being edited, added to, subtracted from or changed in any way? Wouldn't that make all versions of the bible identical? Or is cswint2000 full of it?

For everyone that took a stab at my seemingly elusive question, that some found too vague to answer properly, I have decided to go ahead and repost (yet again) and give the answer that I had in mind. And then, just receive comments in regard to the asnwer.

So here we go... I started off by saying that the answer to this question, in -my- opinion, is a deep seated pattern in life. I went on to say that I felt that the asnwer to this question gives a lot of insight into the way individuals act as they age (whether that be positively or not). And lastly, I feel that this pattern, while basic and simple, is still a bit elusive to our minds because we take it a bit for granted.

Some of the answers I received were the following::
Think, Love, Learn, Exist, etc.

And I must say that those are all VERY good answers. They truly ARE all things that we do from day 1. Yet, in my opinion, the answer I have in my mind almost explains a bit more about those answers above.

Please don't answer to bash each other's ideals, in this case I'm honestly curious as to how that would make you feel. For me, it happens to be relevant right now.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Anglo-Saxon Jesus

By Jason Robb, J.D.

EDITORS NOTE: The term Anglo-Saxon in this article is used generically . The white race has kindred people who do not necessarily identify themselves as Anglo-Saxon. All white people are related by blood and share common ancestry. The term Anglo-Saxon therefore would be interchangeable with any word used for identifying those of our European kindred such as Germanic or Scandinavian (among others)

For centuries Jesus Christ was depicted by Europeans as one of their own. Images of Jesus Christ whether in paint or upon stained glass clearly showed Him (including the apostles, His mother Mary, the women who labored for Christ, and his followers) as white.

However, today there is an attempt to undermine the factual evidence that Jesus was white. Instead we are told that Jesus is a mixture of all races. Many modern artists attempt to portray Jesus with all of the various racial characteristics. The Judeo-Christian preachers today and their anti-Christ rabbi counterparts argue that Jesus probably had black, tight curly, perhaps even kinky hair. The historians and archaeologists of today, excluding the ones in the past, argue he would look like a typical "Israeli" in which he would look neither black or white, but a dark brown mixture of the two.

The question is what did Jesus Christ really look like? The traditional view of Europeans hold that he had blond or auburn hair and blue or hazel eyes. His face was long with high cheek bones (note: The Shroud of Turin), and he was tall and muscular. This traditional view has been depicted in Western art for centuries such as in "The Pantocrator" or "Creator of All," a sixth-century mosaic. Now, however, many are saying that this white "view" of Jesus by Europeans was only a testament of the ancient racism of Europeans.

This past Easter, when millions of Christians celebrated Jesus’ resurrection, scientists, historians, and Judeo-Christians collaborated to create a "new model" for Jesus, which aired around Easter on the Discovery Channel and PBS. Joe Zias, one of the leading archaeologists in Israel, who worked on the project, said, "in reconstructing this head, we are not claiming that this is exactly Jesus’ face, but we are trying to counteract all of those bad images of blond-haired , blue-eyed Jesus running around Hollywood productions. He continued and said, " we know he didn’t have long hair and it wasn’t blond. And he wasn’t blue eyed." How does he know that?

John Dominic Crossan, a "scholar" based in Florida said, "this is a country of immigrants and now our ethnicity is changing once again. We have a growing population of Latinos and others. What will Jesus look like in the future? He certainly will look darker."

Even Rev. D. James Kennedy, the Presbyterian pastor from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and T.V. evangelist said, "Nobody really knows what Christ looked like, and to a very real extent it is irrelevant… The important thing is that he is the Redeemer and Son of God".

The problem with all these reconstructions of Jesus and these Judeo-Christian ministers such as Dr. Kennedy is it is relevant what he looked like. Jesus was the Redeemer - but to whom? (Note Matt. 1:23 and others)

Although the description of Jesus in some respects is not important, such as his height, weight, or how long his hair is, what is important is that He was the Kinsmen Redeemer (Kinsmen: of the same blood) to a certain people – Israel, who now comprises the Anglo-Saxon -Teutonic and kindred people of Europe. And Jesus’ racial description identifies the people He belonged to. So in asking what Jesus looked like is actually asking what does the race he belonged to by physical birth look like? There is Biblical and historical evidence that informs us exactly what he (by race) looked like. And THAT is important. It is the reason the genealogy of Jesus is given in Matthew and Luke.

BIBLICAL EVIDENCE

Jesus was the direct descendent of Kind David and therefore the rightful heir of the Israel’s kingdom throne. In I Samuel 16:12, when Samuel went to anoint David to be the new King of Israel it states, "And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy…" In Webster’s dictionary, ruddy is defined as … redness; akin to red; having a healthy reddish color. (Even Adam means to "blush" or " to show redness in the face." This identifies only one race. I’ll let you figure out which race.) Therefore King David would have been fair skinned with reddish hair. Not the typical dark Jew or Arab, as some are now being led to believe. (Some will cite Rahab (wrongly called a prostitute instead of the important position she held) and Ruth who are counted among the genealogy of Jesus - claiming that these two women of God were not Israelites and thus additional proof that Jesus was not racially pure. Those who make this erroneous claim have been deceived into believing that the countries in which these women lived characterize their race. It does not. Both women were Israelites and followers of Jehovah)

HISTORICAL EVIDENCE

The vast majority of the world is ignorant of the fact that there were actually eye-witnesses and written accounts of Jesus, His earthly father Joseph, and His mother Mary. Many of these written accounts are kept in the Vatican library, which describes what Jesus and Joseph looked like. These written accounts were compiled in The Archko Volume.

In The Archko Volume, we can read where Gamaliel was sent by the Sanhedrin to interrogate Joseph and Mary in regard to the child Jesus. He says in regard to Joseph, "his hair looks as though it might have been dark auburn when young." Later, he talks about Jesus’ description. "His hair is a little more golden than hers (his mother Mary), though it is as much from sunburn as anything else… His eyes are large and soft blue, his eyebrows very large." This is a description of a people that does not represent the people we know as Jews today. This is not the description of Arabs, blacks, or any other type of people. This is the description of our ancestors – the white Europeans.

Valleus Paterculus, a Roman Historian, met and interviewed Jesus and made a report to Pilate, who in return made a report to Caesar. Paterculus states, "One day in passing by the place of Siloe, where there was a great concourse of people, I observed in the midst of the group a young man who was leaning against a tree, calmly addressing the multitude. I was told it was Jesus… His golden-colored hair and beard gave his appearance a celestial aspect… "

Lastly, as we can see, Jesus was a person who resembled a particular race of people. Only one race has blond, auburn, or red hair, with blue, green, and hazel eyes. All these characteristics identify the white race, the true Israel. However, as our nation becomes more Judiazed and non-white, no longer will our ancestors in the Bible be depicted as a reflection of us, but will be depicted as a typical dark mideastern Jew.

Tom Roberts, editor of the Catholic Reporter said, "artists should feel free to reinterpret Jesus for each new era." The era that is approaching and coming upon us is a Jewish era, an era that does not reflect the traditional Christian morals and values of our people, but is an attempt to change the core values of our people in preparation of the one world church.

The fact is Jesus Christ was a white man. He came to the lost sheep of the House of Israel as their Kinsman Redeemer. Can anyone of any race follow the teachings of Jesus Christ? Yes, but it doesn't make them kinsmen. It doesn't give them the authority to change the historical and correct image of Jesus' white racial background into their own. And saying that Jesus Christ is white doesn't make a person an evil hater any more than it would were they to say that George Washington or Queen Elizabeth is white. They are merely stating the facts.

The following excerpt is taken from The Apocalypse of Jesus Christ: A Verse
by Verse Exegesis, pages 279-280, by Pastor V.S. Herrell, which is available
from HBPH, PO Box 130, Kodak, TN 37764. This excerpt regards Revelation
22:16:

"I, Jesus, sent My messenger to testify these things to you over the
Body Politics. I am the Root and Race of David, the bright and morning Star."

Now Jesus affirms that the Messenger sent to John to reveal these things was
indeed sent by Jesus, and identifies Himself as the bright and morning Star (cf.
Numbers 24:17) and the Root and Race of David (cf. Isaiah 11:1). In saying He is the
root and race of David, He is implying that He is both the source of David and the
offspring of David. He is also saying that He is racially identical to David. This is
important because both the Bible and history explicitly record a racial description of
David. In the Septuagint, we read in I Samuel 16:12 of David (cf. I Samuel 17:42):

"And he sent and fetched him: and his was ruddy, with beauty of
eyes, and good in the sight of the Master. And the Master said to Samuel, Arise, and anoint David, for he is good."

Here the word ruddyis translated for the Greek purrakos, which mean to have a
ruddy complexion. The Hebrew word here is admoniy, a derivative of Adam, and
of course Adammeans to show blood in the face, to blush or turn rosy. So the
Bible says very clearly that David was white, for the Hebrew word adam and the
description of ruddywere only applied to white men.
Now Josephus also comments upon David, using slightly different words:

"Now so soon as David appeared at his father's summons - a boy
with golden blonde skin, with fiery eyes and in other ways handsome - " (Jewish Antiquities, VI:164).

Here the words golden blonde are translated for the Greek xanthos, from which
we get the English prefix xantho-, which means yellow. The Greek word meant a
golden yellow, and when used of people it meant that they were blonde. When used
of skin color (as Josephus explicitly does), it implies the golden yellow skin
associated with blonde people. This means that the word was only and could only
be used of people of White, Nordic stock. And of course, only white people are
capable of having rosy colored cheeks, as the term adam and purrakos or ruddy
implies. So when Jesus says that He was of the race of David, He is purposely
contrasting Himself to the dark, swarthy-skinned Edomite Jews, and any other non-
whites who controlled Jerusalem at that time, and establishing once and for all times
that like David, He was perfect in His race.
