Blasphemous ‘lesbian Jesus’ film; ‘Was Jesus black, white or other?’
The earliest surviving paintings claimed to be of Jesus, from a church at the ruined city of Dura-Europos on the Euphrates (dating from first half of the 3rd Century AD)
There are a lot of myths about Jesus, His birth, and His teachings. Now, another absurdity is being foisted off:
July 2, 2020
Hundreds of thousands of people aren’t fans of Paris Jackson playing Jesus.
More than 274,000 people have signed a Change.org petition to prevent the distribution of the indie film “Habit,” which critics say is “Christianophobic garbage.”
“A new blasphemous Hollywood film is predicted to come out soon depicting Jesus as a lesbian woman,” reads the petition, which was created one week ago.
The 22-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson was tapped to play the role of Jesus, alongside Bella Throne and Gavin Rossdale. A press release, according to Deadline and Entertainment Tonight, said “Habit” will follow “a street smart, party girl with a Jesus fetish (who) gets mixed up in a violent drug deal and finds a possible way out; by masquerading as a nun.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2020/07/02/paris-jacksons-upcoming-portrayal-jesus-sparks-backlash/5362106002/
This is blasphemous and shows some of the depth of sickness and depravity that various ones associated with the ‘entertainment’ industry have.
Jesus, of course, was a man. So, the whole concept of a lesbian Jesus is sick and inaccurate.
But there are also other attacks about Jesus.
One has to do with His appearance.

Was Jesus black, white or other? (The debate is about more than skin color)
July 1, 2020 – 10:02pm
Ever since controversial Black Lives Matter activist/commentator Shaun King called for all white European images of Jesus to be torn down because they promote white supremacy, a simple but provocative question has presented itself: Was Jesus white?
The Bible doesn’t reveal Jesus’ skin color, but what we do know is that he came to earth as a Jew born in the Middle East.
“Jews have always been considered white under the U.S. Census Bureau standards,” says Charlotte Allen, author of the book, “The Human Christ: The Search for the Historical Jesus.” “Suddenly there’s kind of a movement among radical leftists to say that all these people are not white.”
There aren’t any portraits of Jesus or even any extant color images of first century Jews. However, clues have emerged, including the excavation of the third-century Dura-Europos Synagogue in modern Syria, which unearthed biblically-themed murals showing what the congregation’s Jewish ancestors must have looked like.
“Those people have light-tanned skin just as Mediterranean people do today,” Allen says. “We can, I think, safely infer that Jews of the first century probably have the same kind of complexion, a sort of general Mediterranean complexion that until very recently just would have been classified as white in the way that Italians and Greeks are classified as white.” …
It is true that people within certain cultures typically represent Jesus the way they see Him. Jesus is depicted as black, Hispanic and Asian around the world, the images varying with the disparate cultural settings from which they emerge. … Barack Obama’s former pastor Jeremiah Wright, for example, called Jesus “a poor black man.” …
The identity left in America sees this battle over white Jesus as a way of pushing back against what it perceives as enduring, systemic social, economic and cultural privileges afforded to whites. …
“It really has to do with ideology more than actual skin color,” says Allen. “It is an effort to remove Jesus from Christianity as we know it and to create a different kind of Jesus who basically is a Marxist, anarchist revolutionary who wanted to overthrow the existing order.” https://justthenews.com/nation/culture/black-white-or-other-debate-about-jesus-race-about-more-skin-color
Here is a picture of a mosaic from a Jewish synagogue:
5th Century Depiction of Numbers 13:23 grapes from promise land
(Jim Haberman, via UNC-Chapel Hill)
While Jesus would have been tanner/bronzer than most in the UK or Germany, He was not black.
Of course, we are NOT to make God in our image–instead we are to believe the truth.
More information on Jesus’ racial matters is in the online sermon:
Were the ancient Hebrews black as asserted by Frank Cherry and William Crowdy? Was Jesus black? Was Jesus a Jew? What about the ancient Egyptians? What about the descendants of Noah: Ham, Japheth, and Shem? What does the word Egypt mean? Does Cush mean black? What do hieroglyphics, statues, coins, Fayum mummy paintings, the Mereneptah Stele, the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III, ostraca, coins, and mosaics show? What about the mummy of Ramesses II? What about Prince Ra-Hotep and Princess Nofret? What about DNA? What about Cleopatra VII? Where the ancient children of Israel mainly Negroid, Mongoloid, or Caucasoid? Do Jews have genetics consistent with Mediterranean peoples like the Arabs of the Middle East? Are the bulk of the descendants of the tribe of Judah Negroes? Were the bulk of the ancient Egyptians black? Must Joseph’s wife Asenath have been black? Could British-Israelism be true or does the identity of Puerto Rico and Cuba make more sense? Which nations best represent the tribes of Israel based upon what Jacob said in Genesis 48 and 49? What does the Bible teach on these matters? How did Roman Emperor Vespasian depict conquered Jews on coins with himself and General Titus in 70 A.D.? How have the Jews portrayed themselves? What do we learn from the Song of Solomon and Job? What about the Khazars of the 8th century? Does any of this have to do with salvation? Does properly understanding this aid in understanding biblical prophecies? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
Here is a link to the sermon video: Were Ancient Hebrews Black? What About Jesus?
Jesus said:
24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. (John 4:23)
The truth is that Jesus was not a female, was not a lesbian, and was not what we would call black.
The lies being pushed about Jesus in various circles bring the following to mind:
13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13)
Yes, we see evil deception growing worse and worse.
Do not accept the lies and deceits that many push about Jesus or real Christianity.
