Jesus was able hide in Egypt, you can’t be fair skinned and hide in Egypt.

It’s so funny when people say “we don’t know what he truly looks like.” but revelation 1:14-15 gives us a little bit of a description on what he looks like (skin,hair eyes)and when people read it they deny it which means you’re denying God and Christ but then they will claim to love them both it’s crazy honestly.😂

When I was in middle school my southern white racist dad tried to use scripture to justify his racism. I never bought it. I couldn't get past the blatant hypocrisy. I have two sons. I taught them to judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

Revelation 1:14-16 14 His head and his hairs were white like WOOL, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. WOOL /wo͝ol/ noun 1.the fine, soft curly or wavy hair .

She's suppose to have degrees in theology, Jesus was a Hebrew, of the tribe of Judah. The bible said he would be a nazarene. His name is YESHUA

Never refer to Yeshua as Jesus Christ, that is not His name but a name given by the Greeks.
