Black in the Bible
Stained glass, mother Mary, crosses, and a white, blond haired, blue eyed Jesus…can the portrayal of this type of Christianity be all inclusive? Can it be inclusive at all? Why is Jesus almost always depicted as a white man?
This is no accident, but rather a deliberate attempt to white wash Christianity and hijack the very origins from which it stems. Some believe that Christianity is a white man’s religion and that to be black and Christian is traitorous and naive. This is only because black people have always been involved in the unadulterated militant Christianity that existed way before slave masters altered its doctrines to fit their own agenda. If black people knew the richness of their heritage and militantly came together under Christ, the world, as it has always done, would follow straight in their footsteps. Join us today as we discuss the presence of “Black in the Bible."
