i would like to point out to all those who think that blacks are not included in christianity and it is foreign that actually the bible show in acts chp8 vs 27-40 that it was in fact a man from ethiopia who was indeed black that is probably one of the first non jewish christians as the church was 100% jewish at first, just takes a little study before we start causing racial divisions.

There was a question earlier that someone said to black people how do they feel that they were left out of christianity and that it is a foreign religion to them.

Jesus was very dark, could be considered black. So whats the beef? We are all one race now anyway by virtue of our cognitive abilities. Thinking in the abstract makes you human. If you do that you are of the human race even if you don't do it real well. Abstract thinking is the hallmark of humanity. Its not like people use it that much and its pretty rusty for most since they only use it slightly while dusting off or shuffling the prejudices but nevertheless its what makes you human. Try thinking in the abstract once a day for a week and see what happens.

Regardless, Christianity isn't native to Africa or Europe or most other places. It originated in the Middle East, the entire bible is a story about the Jews and the people they ran across. Nothing wrong with that, but you cannot deny that Christianity is Middle Eastern.
You also cannot deny that other cultures had their own religions before Christianity conquered them. I know for one, Christianity isn't the original religion of my ancestors.

I have never heard anyone say that... but if that was said then you could simply show the scripture at John 3:16 ... that says 'god loved the WORLD so much the he gave.." . Jesus died for all men, not only Asians, Indians, Blacks or Whites..... but all PEOPLE.

Yes they were a lot of black people in christianity... as slaves. Seriously, can anyone think god or jesus are/were all loving when they permitted slavery?

Never heard of this.
Didn't you ever sing "Jesus Loves the Little Children of the World"?

Son, if anything, WHITES are in the Bible. It's largely about the inhabitants of the middle east.

It is quite possible that Jesus was himself black.
