JESUS - A BLACK NIGERIAN MAN OR WHAT? |
|
Our Lord Jesus Christ was recently named the top BLACK icon by a national newspaper and scientists. They even went further that Jesus is from a part of our beloved Nigeria, no wonder He loves us so much upon all our bad doings. If na true say Jesus is a black man and from a tribe in Naija, why e be say most of us no be like Him. See the way corruption and indiscipline plenty for Naija.

On a more serious note, this is a very deep and intense subject that needs to be studied carefully because there are facts out there that support these claims and it only needs to be proven. Their assertion that Jesus was black has raised eyebrows in some quarters Here are some of the comments from BBC "Light-brown, shoulder-length hair. A slim, bearded and, above all, white face. Everyone is familiar with the features of Jesus Christ. But a new BBC programme questions this image of the Son of God" "The earliest depictions of Jews, which date from the 3rd Century, are - as far as can be determined - dark-skinned." "The makers of BBC One's upcoming Son of God series have employed modern forensic techniques to create a model of Christ's face based on the skull of a 1st century Jewish man. The model's somewhat muscular features have a heartening "bloke down the pub" feel. Full cheeks and a sturdy nose are in marked opposition to the decidedly feminine bone structure of Jesus as depicted since before the Renaissance." "And the skin colour of this "new" Christ? Experts have decided Jesus would have been anything but pearly white. The model has a dark colouring, more realistically suited to desert climes." "And Jesus probably did have some African links - after all the conventional theory is that he lived as a child in Egypt where, presumably, his appearance did not make him stand out." "The New Nation takes it further: "Ethiopian Christianity, which pre-dates European Christianity, always depicts Christ as an African" "One
school of thought has it that Jesus was part of a tribe which
had migrated from Nigeria."
