TD In conjunction with Ai:
As TD and the new Christian ministry apostolic movement “Cross Body Unity” is in search of NON BIASED “ORGANIC “for the cause of Hebrews 10:25 “fellowshipping with the saints ” in final days. BUT we ought to draw the line AGAINST the Bias..and this is one level underneath what appears to be a LOT OF grievous formula, deep passed perspective, way down entrenched “presumption” variations of area scuttlebutt and local born again environmental “hearsay ” Plus “each persons perspective” which may include both both True and False version of “culture” as well as “denial” ..and also “True” American Faith Based Experience and valid, even ongoing, particular subculture sort of Grand Heritage.
I would say NOT ALL, (as my Church going born again natural extended family AND OTHERS were and are not like this)but in cross Body Ministry, and mingling on the front lines American soil diverse culture, plus on media, at many different times this “IDEA” of the BLONDE, (many envision Him with BLUE EYES).. FAIR SKINNED JESUS persists.
So rather than WONDER I simply point blank asked Chat GBT Ai and here is what IT said, straight from it’s digital quill:
ME: Q.WHERE DOES THE CONCEPT OF A “WHITE” BLUE EYED, BLOND JESUS COME FROM?
Ai RESPONDS:
The concept of a blue-eyed, blonde-haired Jesus is a cultural depiction that originated in medieval and Renaissance Europe. During this time, many Christian artists in Europe portrayed Jesus and other biblical figures as European, with features that were familiar to them, such as light-colored eyes and hair.
This was in part due to the fact that Christianity had become the dominant religion in Europe, and European artists were creating art that reflected their own cultural and societal norms.
The image of a European-looking Jesus became popularized through art and literature and eventually spread throughout the world.
It is important to note, however, that the Bible does not provide a physical description of Jesus, and his ethnicity and physical features are not specified.
The Bible does describe Jesus as being from the Middle East, and it is widely believed that he would have had a darker complexion and features that were common to people of that region.
In recent years, there has been a growing movement to re-examine traditional depictions of Jesus and to create representations that reflect the diversity of the global Christian community.
Some Christian artists and scholars are working to create images of Jesus that are more culturally and ethnically diverse, reflecting the reality that Jesus came to save all people, regardless of their ethnicity or background.
TD TAKES BACK THE CONVERSATION:
NOTE: Prior to ME ‘wondering...and then asking.. about this to Ai” as I had grown up in the 80’s 90’s and beyond TV Ministry Age and saw the founding of the TBN California Christian Network which BACK IN THE 90s’ affected MANY in both GREAT and not SO GREAT methods and ways..
PS I also owe a lot to them, for back in the Fledgling area Ministry Days, I was under a lot of warfare so I could cut on the TV and get (many times!) a “timely word from Lord” which encouraged and preserved me. Also got to watch MANY develop famous GREAT KNOWN NAMES and was refreshed.. And I also watched THESE among them FAITH, BISHOP TD JAKES and their GUESTS on their talk shows.
However, I also BROUGHT UP TO QUESTION ALL and to not Swallow Every Persons’s Ministry Kool Aide….nor Christian use of methods… which I did fully did not (well, perhaps some, starting off.. but certainly 250%..( meaning Back in the Day) Also Note I took my TV out in DFW about 2011.
With that AUTO BIO being shared, and after seeing TBN and (now late “high hair”)leaders founders, I had “figured” since it was the White, Mom, Flag and Apple Pie,”Some would say, “GOOD OLD” leader days..also way back then,..
ALSO that the founders of “worldwide” plus largest Christian TV Network each were very INTO THAT way back then, THAT Due to her being FAIR SKINNED, them living in West Coast “Surfer Dude” as in CA..that I BELIEVED the Legend of the Blonde Christ started BACK THEN… over there.
However, I was wrong.
And yet, I was surprised by the Ai Response.
ASIDE COMMENT TO YOU READERS: Also: I beg each of YOU to PLEASE GET ALL OF THIS OUT THERE, especially TO the tan, dark-skinned formerly enslaved many tribes, persons, and INDIGENOUS also!
I COMMENCE WITH MY “PARTICULAR ” VERSION OF TRAINING IN THE FOLLOWING:
- JESUS was born in the Middle East, He was used to commonly interacting with, relating to and having “human fun” with MOSTLY people from Africa, Asia, and MIDDLE EASTERN FOLK who each stemmed from Patriarch Abraham’s tree:
- 1. BEING the nation of Israel who were mainly Torah keeping Hebrew Jews, birthed from Isaac’s loins
- 2. the many Arabs who are Gentiles. who were birthed from Abraham’s first-born leader son: Ishmael.****
- AND THIS IS A SIDE NOTE: While Abraham was a MAN OF DEEP STRENGTH, TALENT AND HIGH QUALITY AND CALLED TO GOD’S GREATNESS ..he actually made a few POOR CHOICES with RELATIONSHIPS (notably HE was misadvised, then CAST OFF HIS VERY OWN FLESH AND BLOOD SON ..who was born with the same family DNA of Mighty Miracle Working POWER and the Greatness of The Mighty JEHOVAH.)
IN A NUTSHELL
THUS JESUS WAS NOT WHITE, CAUCASIAN, COLONIAL, NOT IMPERIAL, however a REGAL AUTHORITY (but from the INSIDE ..which was “at a point in time ” coming,( yet it means ” not visible” or ‘seen” “manifesting” during that “time period” when He resided in mere earthly form… in life and during His Ministry.. as his KING CALL was purposely kept secret.and was not viewed on the OUTSIDE.. until ‘after” His Victorious “resurrection” when He will be visibly ‘known” and “regarded” seated “on high” and “up in heaven” Google search Bible for more proof)
(PS My thought surrounding THIS: and mainly intended FOR the moderns Christians WHO DESIRE to be Well Known and Elite in these EVERYONE A BIG BOSS Times: “AS Christ probably looked “too poor” during His Christian working planting times..as He wanted know “WHO WAS TRUE OR NOT” meaning..to identify WHO would ACCEPT HIM and SERVE HIM because they genuinely believed on Him and TRULY LOVED HIM.. even “without” a sign of big visible MONEY”)
- However, for yesteryear.. the Middle Eastern JESUS CHRIST was born by and sent into olive skin, ever darker, after being out in ministry and life in the bright heat of the Hometown sun, so it is very PROBABLE that as He “went about doing good” according to Bible Acts 10:28..that he looked black.
- However Christ was Sephardic Jew. (who , coming down from his Mother’s natural side, her life DNA came from the servant leader, agricultural tribe of Judah (Judah means to plow, to praise’ to cultivate peoples’ heart and minds… RATHER THAN Messiah Jesus descending down from the lineage of the spiritual, generational passed down sins determined as being in Origins, whatever “prophetic leader roots” of the markedly different , all wise DNA of tribe of “unusually dysfunctional, even misogynist, also murderous, retaliatory heart of the troubled roots of Levi)**** THE ONLY REASON TD says this is because: Minister T studied those PROPHET ROOTS and did a LEVI PROPHETIC ROOTS big Bible Study in DFW, which she has placed “somewhere” and will now search for it)
AND ALSO TD EQUIPS: - Jesus was a free range relatable “servant pioneering sr leader“, led the Spirit in First Love, non legalistic ongoing lifestyle. He was not a Big Boss but was hounded by such. He wasn’t an over seer Chief Hierarchalist nor a coveting Levitical Patriarch, like we know today.
- No. Jesus who was not and LP: He was the WORD “God’s TRUTH” made flesh. So Jesus “fulfilled every jot and tittle of the Levitical Torah Law, yet did not embody nor emulate a Pharisee Torah Scroll Chief Thumper.
- Rather humble “no name” Jesus kept being “afflicted ” by the Torah Keeping Legalistic Sin Spying LP Pharisees, so much so, that He understood that He could not trust them (We note JESUS Above Board, non secretive, non cult watching and not authoritarian, nor in any manner “perverse” hourly and daily and weekly “interactive Father’s Holy Spirit directed ” PURE OFFICE REGIONAL FRUIT”
- So I close with this reminder, while we picture the dark skinned loving man The Messiah, known as Jesus THE CHRIST as He went about the Area..”doing good”
- Acts 10:38 “Jesus went about, doing good, healing all those who were oppressed by the devil, for the Lord was WITH HIM” meaning that the Creator, Father God, Almighty God “accompanied” “empowered’ also “endorsed ” the minister Jesus where ever He went”)
MY CHRISTIAN MINISTRY VISION
In 2016 I was standing in my McKinney, TX DFW townhome when the Lord dropped this message into my spirit..and wanted to share this as THE WORD COMING THE LORD. I admit that I chuckled as I believe that Our God has clear sense of humor, like this myself. So I will this as it was given but then explain:
THE VISION DROPPED INTO MY SPIRIT WAS THIS”
“TELL THEM THAT I AM A LOT DARKER THAN THEY THINK I AM”
And I laughed, understanding what He might mean 1. when you picture the various numbers of dark skinned human people grounds around the WORLD, the GLOBE then YOU understand that GOD evidently prefers ALL COLORS, NATIONS and VIBES and that HE is an ARTIST who respects and designs PRO intended (humble, life long) Ministry Christian, Leader, Lay, Family and national community BIG DIVERSITY”which includes various shades and hues from MIXED RACES also)
Please BACK OFF YOU CRITICAL RACISTS
AND DEAR FRIEND, PLEASE NETWORK SHARE THIS AMAZING END TIME “RIGHT NOW ” WORD:
REASON for JESUS GOOD NAME to be UPHELD and not SLIGHTED OR CONDEMNED and also FOR HIS PEOPLE mainly MINISTERS and WITNESSING LEADERS, LAY to do a GOOD JOB without being RACIST, BIASED, ACCUSING or DISRESPECTFUL OR PROUD, STEREOTYPING and/or PRESUMING that YOU KNOW MORE.
I will work on the same things in this my self…
AND ONE OF US…doing the Utmost of Peace, Humility and diverse EORR also “REAL RESPECT”..for the sake of GOSPEL, THE HALLOWED NAME OF JESUS and The End Time Harvest...
