Well, I like his Jesus better.
And I like this guy in general, too. One sane pastor in a sea of hateful, nationalists preachers.
His Jesus is still white AF. 🤮🖕🏽
No, that isn’t true at all.
The New Testament includes no descriptions of Jesus's appearance before his death.

he probably looked like one of these dudes :

White Christian people fearing “The great replacement” while totally replacing Jesus original skin tone is the kind of irony I don’t like much.
Some times I just hope Heaven/Hell was true just to be able to see their face dropping down at the gate of Heaven. I would spend an eternity there, just watching.
ST Peter is a brown jew?!?!!!??!
how does that work? I thought he was going to look like Erling Haaland or Edgar Winter.
Oh? This guy has black/brown Jesus pictures all over, then? Show me
Jesus was a Hebrew who was a direct descendant of Abraham. So, no, it's unlikely that he was black.
Lets be clear here: if people that purported to be Christians acted like this, then Christianity in the US wouldn't be a failed religion. Most people start to question their religion because their own personal values don't line up with the way their religion is practiced, and that's absolutely true for evangelicism. This is why you see Gen Z leaving religion in droves, and why the number of people that either profess to be Christian, or are practicing Christians is diminishing sharply.
If religious leaders wanted to start getting people to sincerely believe again, the first step would be repenting of their evil, and returning to the central message of the gospel of Jesus. Not their pseudo-Calvinist nonsense.
