The Bible and Skin Color: “The Pure Race”

Talking about Jesus the Black Christ and The Inferior Race.

This past February 10, 2024, we were analyzing via Zoom a doctrine that apparently is gaining popularity in what we know as the world of Christianity and/or in the spiritual world. Above is the video of this presentation, which also includes a question and answer section, where we could all participate.

NOTE: This written study is an extension of the video study presented here. It also presents a counterpart to a study that—incidentally, Miguel did as a counterpart—about this video presented above.

On this occasion I will present a brief written summary of what was presented by Zoom, while we cover some important points that complement the topic. Additionally, as was done in the video, we will evaluate two documents that present the origin of this doctrine: “The True Description of Christ” and “The Truth About Slavery”, both produced by the ministry Israel United In Christ (IUIC), whose origin is American.

And this is the doctrine:  ^[1]Jesus the Black Christ and
The Pure Breed
[LINK, Isarel United in Christ]

1. Jesus is black, not white.
2. Black people are a superior race.
3. The white man, as the executioner he has been, is of the devil, and will be destroyed by God.

Some of the tentacles of this doctrine have reached home, with some nuances of their own, which we will also examine. Nuances like “The white race is an inferior race, physically and intellectually” speaking, among others.

By 2003 when I was still living in Bronx County (New York), a movement was “emerging” that preached Jesus the Black Christ and that the white man came from the devil and would be destroyed by God. And although I was not walking in the ways of the Lord at that time, I now understand that the Lord was preparing me precisely for this moment. I witnessed battles between this group Israel United in Christ (IUIC) and people who stopped at Fordham Plaza to debate with them, whose founder is “Bishop Nathanael”.

For more than a decade I saw IUIC members in that or other places in New York, but I didn't really understand the issue, and I simply thought they were crazy. And although I did not walk in the ways of the Lord, it is very obvious that I myself was contaminated, but with the doctrine of the false white Christ, which today we know was the creation of the Catholic Church. No, Jesus is also not that handsome white, green- or blue-eyed Christ with long hair that the Christian world has embraced as its god. Yes, their god—because that is not God.

And for those who have embraced that famous image of Jesus Christ that we see in books, movies, statues, paintings, etc., let's see what the Bible says about it:

⁴ You shall not make for yourself an image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 

⁵ You will not bow down to them, nor honor them; For I am the Lord your God, strong and jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 

⁶ and I show mercy to thousands, to those who love me and they keep my commandments. —EXODUS 20:4-6

¹⁴ nature itself Does it not teach you that it is DISHONORABLE for a man to let his hair grow? 

¹⁵ On the contrary, it is honorable for a woman to let her hair grow; because instead of a veil, hair is given to her. 1 CORINTHIANS 11:14-15

As far as I understand, Jesus is in heaven, and the text is very clear: you will not make an image of what is up there. And it is dishonorable for a man to let his hair grow long and Jesus is a man, right? The only exception in the scriptures are the Nazarites, who made a vow with God and as a sign they let their hair grow, among other things:

⁵ All the time of the vow of his Nazirite no razor will come upon his head; Until the days of his separation from Jehovah are fulfilled, he will be holy; he will let his hair grow. —NUMBERS 6:5

It was not for fashion or style that the Nazarites let their hair grow; Sanzón was a Nazirite.

Before moving forward, let's first look at what the Bible says about the nature of Christ, and what it tells us about what we should consider, and—more importantly, what we should reject. That is to say, if Jesus were even that elegant and attractive “man” with long hair that they paint us in the movies, and we accept him, we are disobeying God by creating that image for ourselves. And speaking of attractiveness, the word of God says:

 ² He will come up like a branch before him, and like a root out of dry ground; there is no appearance in it, nor beauty; we will see him, but without attractiveness so that we wish him. —ISAIAH 53:2

That is what the word of God says about that white Christ that Christians have adopted, courtesy of his mother Rome. Now the movement Israel United in Christ He preaches a black Jesus Christ, and we have been given an image to behold. The interesting thing is that this black Christ of IUIC He has the characteristics of not only a black man, but an African-American black man. That is, an American black with all the attractions that any man could have. There are women who go crazy when they see a man like that. Of course, perhaps as a woman you will say “I don't like that man”, but that is your taste, and “for taste“—says a popular saying, "colors". And Christ, the Bible says, had no attractiveness for any woman on earth to desire him, or even for a man to admire or envy his physical characteristics.

But the Bible says “you shall not make yourself an image…”, and this black man is an image. And although it is an image this does not mean that Israel United in Christ do not have a “BIBLICAL” explanation to justify this image. Ah, the power of images, there is a reason God said “don't do it”. ^[2]Are Images Wrong?
[LINK, IUIC] 

Oh Raquel, when do you plan to leave your idols!

In that same study of how to make images, IUIC presents us with a graph where the Bishop Nathanael and the other leaders of that sect are presented in “galactic” costumes, with shields on their pectorals that represent each of the 12 tribes of Israel. And behind them we see a UFO invasion; that is, an extraterrestrial invasion. Well, Wernher von Braun former director and father of NASA confessed before dying that "The last letter" of the elite that governs this world would be an extraterrestrial invasion, and that “all that is a lie”.

So whether it's an abysmal blur or pushing a perverse agenda, Israel United in Christ It is a very dangerous sect and must be rejected.

The Anti-Defamation League, ADL by its acronym in English, denounces the movement Israel United in Christ, and points them out as an extremist and very dangerous sect. that carries a message of hate. They point to them and other similar groups, whose origins, they say, date back to the late 1700s and early 1800s, where they identify Gabriel Prosser, “a former slave,” as the first to preach about the black Christ and the supremacy of the black race. I understand that the Anti-Defamation League is a Jewish institution and therefore they will give their point of view, but they also give us a historical framework of the matter that we must also consider. ^[3]Extremist Sects Within the Black Hebrew Israelite Movement
[LINK: ADL]

As I mentioned in the video of my presentation on this topic, about two years ago I came across this group of IUIC here in the city of Philadelphia. Well, actually I have seen them on the streets for more time, but it was on that occasion that I decided to stop my vehicle one day and took a steering wheel that they gave me. This was two pamphlets in one: The True Description of Christ and The Truth About Slavery, according to them, of course.

For more than two years that flyer was rolling back and forth in my apartment, but I had never taken the time to read and analyze it until this moment. Just a few weeks ago I had thrown it in the trash, only to take it out later, because something told me I was going to need it. Now I have no doubt that that something was God, who was impressing my heart, preparing me for this right moment.

It is no secret to the members of our WhatsApp group that my brother Miguel and I have clashed head-on on this matter; him defending the Black Christ and the position that the white race is an inferior race, physically and intellectually speaking, while I defend what I understand is the biblical Christ, not the Catholic one. There has been a lot of friction between the two and tempers have escalated. Fortunately—and responsibly, we have both decided to take this topic and any other with height, understanding that it is God we want to exalt, not man.

The position that Miguel presents is that “the black person is a well-made human being” and that “the skin color of the black person is the one that most closely resembles the color of God.” For my part, I share the idea that the black man is a well-made human being, since God created him. But I also affirm that the white man is a well-made human being, as well as the Chinese, the Mexican, the French, the Greek, the Panamanian, etc., well—until proven otherwise, God created them too:

²⁶ Then God said: Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the cattle, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. 

²⁷ And God created man in his image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 

²⁸ And God blessed them, and he said to them: Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over all the living things that move on the earth. —GENESIS 1:26-28

So, if the white man—to be more specific, was made in the image and likeness of God, how is it possible that he is of an inferior race? Is God perhaps an inferior God?

Another one-

²⁶ And from one blood he has made the entire lineage of men, so that they may dwell on the entire face of the earth; and has predetermined for them the order of times, and the limits of their habitation;

²⁷ so that they may seek God, if in some way, by feeling, they can find him, although he is certainly not far from each one of us. 

²⁸ For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as some of your own poets have also said: For we are his offspring. —ACTS 17:26-28

 And if we are of his lineage, how is it possible that the white man is an inferior race? That's the thing, Miguel, when you declare something as radical as that, you open too many doors, through which practically everything can enter—and everything. Let's take your position for a moment, that the black man is physically and intellectually superior to the white man, AND that this makes the white man an inferior race. Now let's take the following example:

Suppose a mother has a child who is born with the Down's Syndrome; A syndrome that we all know presents a mental retardation where the brain of this human being does not develop normally.

Now let's ask the question, Are people with Down syndrome an inferior race? And let's not forget that both whites and blacks are affected by this condition.

And what about a person in full capacity of his mental faculties, but who is quadriplegic... is this person of an inferior race?

Yes, I know that a quadriplegic person does not have any physical strength to lift even a spoon in many cases, but that does not make them an inferior race. And the child born with Down Syndrome may not be able to multiply the table from 1 to 9; But does this make him an inferior race?

Today we know that many diseases, such as Down Syndrome and Cerebral Palsy, are caused by vaccines and other contaminants, but you mentioned physical strength and intellectual capacity as characteristics that represent the superiority or inferiority of a race. You have very advanced knowledge in many areas, and you understand things that most out there cannot understand, for one reason or another. Tell me, are you superior to them because of your intellectual “advantage” or because you have simply studied more than them?

I also know, Miguel, that you spoke only of physical and mental abilities, but on several occasions you also said that the white man is simply an inferior race. And if the black is well made, how is the white made? Who made the white man? Does God do bad things?

But you will say, “well those are sick people,” and that doesn't apply. Okay, let's take a healthy white male, about 125 pounds and 5 feet 2 inches tall. Now let's take a healthy black man, about 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 240 pounds. Here we see very marked physical differences. So let's consider the following words of Jesus:

³⁶ You will not swear by your head, because you can't make a single hair white or black. —MATHEW 5:36

And if a human being cannot make a single hair on his head white or black, can it add or take away from his stature? We understand that today there are artificial methods to dye hair, but that is not changing the color of the hair because as soon as the hair grows, the original color begins to shine from its roots.

So it comes to mind, was Goliath of a superior race to David? Are giants a superior race in writing because they have a physical advantage over other people? Does God call them that?

The point I am trying to make is that we are all born with physical differences “superior” and “inferior” to others, and this is all encoded in our DNA. That is, if you were born 5′ 2” and not 6′ 4” it is because that is how God designed you, and—therefore, that does not make you superior or inferior to others; it makes you different. And I ask, Was Zacchaeus an inferior man to the Rich Young Man of Matthew 19 because of his diminutive size? This classification of superiority or inferiority of one race over or under the other is nothing more than another variant of racism.

That ministry of Israel United in Christ It says that each of the 12 tribes of Israel come from black and Latin races and some aboriginal races. In your study on the Giants last Saturday, February 17, 2024, you stated—Miguel, that “The 12 tribes of Israel were black.” That may or may not be true, but scripture does not support you in that statement. This is practically the same doctrine of Israel One in Christ. And not only that, but that collapses on its own, because this is what the word of God says about Israel:

⁶ For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God; The Lord your God has chosen you to be a special people to him, more than all the peoples that are on the earth. 

⁷ It is not because you are more than all people that Jehovah loved you and chose you, for you were the most insignificant of all peoples; 

⁸ but because the LORD loved you, and was willing to keep the oath that he swore to your fathers, the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand, and has rescued you from bondage, out of the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. —DEUTERONOMY 7:6-8

Well, if we are going to talk about an inferior race, here we see God himself saying that Israel was the most "lower" of all the peoples of the earth. And the reference here is that Israel did not have the size or the physical or weapons forces of its enemies and the other peoples of the earth. So, and not that blacks—“the 12 Tribes” of Israel in this case—were created with superiority over other races, which also includes whites? Well, God says just the opposite. However, God can say that about human beings since we are all inferior to God, but God never calls anyone inferior because of their physical build, much less because of their skin color or intellectual capacity. That is not our place to say and it is, in my opinion, a serious distortion of the word of God.

God judges man by his character, not by his skin color. God, however, does not treat the wicked the same as the Holy One, since he has a law under which his people govern. And if his people are obedient to this law, everyone would receive blessings, and therefore there is no respecter of persons. God did not treat Lot the same as the other inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, because Lot was faithful, while they were not. Or could it be that Lot was privileged by God because of his skin color? What was Job's skin color? Let's see-

²⁸ I walk blackened, and not by the sun; I have stood up in the congregation, and cried out.

²⁹ I have become a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches.

³⁰ My skin has turned black and falls off, And my bones burn with heat.

³¹ My harp has been changed into mourning, And my flute into the voice of mourners. —JOB 30:30

We all know Job's misfortune, and how the devil attacked him and took almost everything from him. Here Job himself declares that he, at the very least, was a white man—or perhaps Latin?—whose skin was blackened by the scabies that Satan brought upon him. (Job 2:7). And my question is, Was Job a righteous man or a man of an inferior race?

And Jeremiah wrote—

¹⁰ Our skin turned black like an oven because of the burning of hunger. —LAMENTATIONS 5:10

And if something turns black it is because it is not black by nature, or am I wrong? Furthermore, Jeremiah descends from the priestly tribe of Levi. And according Israel United In Christ, Today's Haitians are those Levites of yesterday. Does the Haitian become black or is the Haitian a black man? And it should be noted that many years ago I worked with a white-skinned Haitian colleague. There aren't that many, but there are. Anyway, no, the Levites of yesterday are not the Haitians of today.

Probably even more than black, The Chinese have been the most oppressed human being throughout history. And who oppressed the Chinese man, the white man? No, Chinese himself oppressed him!

And that is the point, that man when he sees himself in a position of power usually abuses it, and that is not determined by the color of your skin, but by the color of your heart!

[EDITION, May 13, 2024]

Israel United in Christ, in its study “The Truth About Slavery,” cited the Bible as evidence that the white man enslaved the black man:

Dueteronomy 28:15 “But it will come to pass, if you do not listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, to try to fulfill all his commandments and his statutes that I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you, and will overtake you.“

Deuteronomy 28:48: “Therefore you will serve your enemies whom Jehovah will send against you.”, with hunger and thirst and nakedness, and lack of all things; and he will put a yoke of iron on your neck until he destroys you.“

The disconnection of these people is truly incredible, or is it that they are simply carrying out a well-planned agenda? They blame the white man for the slavery of the “black” man (Israel) when the texts they themselves present show that Israel was delivered into slavery on several occasions because of their rebellion against God, and that it was God himself who delivered them. Now, these texts, nor any other text in the scriptures even hint that people were enslaved because of their skin color, and that only black people were enslaved. Anyone who has a text that proves otherwise, please let us know, and we will publish it here.

And since the point was also made here that “The 12 Tribes of Israel were black,” and that in turn “The Egyptians of that time were black,” I wonder, Who was it that enslaved Israel for 430 years?

I understand that this question deserves an answer, because here we see “the blacks”—the Egyptians, enslaving “the blacks”—The 12 Tribes of Israel. And isn't the white man the oppressor and the black man the victim?

Another thing, Israel United in Christ preaches that Israel was scattered throughout the world by tribes. That's why I force the idea of their classification of “The 12 Tribes of Israel today.”

1. Judah — Blacks
2. Benjamin —West Indies
3. Levi — THE HAITIANS
4. Efraín — Puerto Ricans
5. Manasé — Cubans
6. Simeon — Dominicans
7. Rubén — Seminole Indians
8. Gad — North American Indians
9. Naftalí—Argentina and Chile
10. Zebulon — Guatemala to Panama
11. Asher — Colombia to Uruguay
12. lsacar — Mexican Indians

Nowhere does the Bible say that Israel, when scattered throughout the world, was separated by Tribes. In fact, when Israel entered Egypt we see that the entire 12 tribes were enslaved in one place (EXD. 1). 

[END OF EDITION]

“In black is the color of God's skin.”

That is irreconcilable with writing. To begin with, although it is said of Jesus that “his arms and his feet [were] like color burnished bronze,” (DAN. 10:6), That is not said about the Father in the Bible; nor of the Holy Spirit. And the divinity of God is made up of three. Or is it not so?

And here we fall again into the issue of image and likeness. Image and likeness is not the same as a replica. Miguel, in the study of The Giants you recognized that Adam and Seth were “like” Christ, and Christ like the Father. And similar is not the same as the same. However, previously you stated:

“Being the image and likeness of something or someone It is being physically and morally the same as that someone is.”

Aside from the fact that this is not written anywhere in the word of God, the question I ask you is, Did God sin?

While it is true that Adam was created with the physical image and likeness of God's character, Adam did not have the same character as God, for Adam sinned, and God cannot sin. Can you understand this?

And we know that man was made in the image and likeness of Christ, but we do not know about Christ. That is, was Christ made in the image and likeness of the Father? Was Christ created? What did Jesus tell Philip about his relationship with the Father?

⁸ Philip said to him: Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us. 

⁹ Jesus said to him: Have I been with you so long, and you have not known me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; How then do you say: Show us the Father? 

¹⁰ Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me, he does the works. — JOHN 14:8-10

Was Jesus talking about physical equality and skin color or was Jesus talking about the work and mission of the Father and the son?

And continuing with the matter of image and likeness, What color skin is he then is the Holy Spirit? I'm just asking the question, and I'm not going to navigate those waters because that is very dangerous terrain. (MAT. 12:31)

David, presents the writing, was blonde. And Jesus is the root of David's lineage (APC. 22:16). I had presented the point that Jesus had indeed chosen an inferior race for his holy lineage. And I received in response:

“Blonde does not refer to skin color, but to hair color.”

My brother Zabdiel made the same comment to me the other day in one of our Zoom studios, the question I ask you, brother, is how many black people with blonde hair do you know in your life? How many do you know in your family?

While it is true that the color blonde, generally speaking, refers to a hair color and not a skin color, it is also true that it is white people who generally have blonde hair, not black people. No, not every white person has blonde hair, but every blonde person has white skin, with one “exception”: the inhabitants of the Solomon Islands,, whose inhabitants, not all, are “black”, but who have blonde hair.

They are a race of natives called the Melanesians. And not all Melanesians have this characteristic, but it is estimated that between 5 and 10% of them have it. We are told of colonization by the Germans and the British as a possible cause. Furthermore, scientists tell us about the gene mutation TYRP1; ^[4]Black Blondes: Mlanesians from the Solomon Islands
[LINK: The Citizen]

This case is very interesting, but if you put a critical eye on the photos presented you will begin to see a repeating pattern: These blacks are not so black, They have very European—or white man—physical features. And I'm not talking about his blonde hair, but about the physical structure of his face, his nose, mouth, cheekbones, etc. These blacks don't look like Africans! “Here there is maco locked up” either “that's cool” They say in my country, the Dominican Republic.

And the fact that only a low percentage of the Milanese population has blonde hair suggests that more than a race, we see a mix here. And even their black skin color is not as dark as that of Africans.

Despite having blonde hair, we do not see any of them with green or blue eyes in any of the photos, something very typical in white people with blonde hair. Let me speculate a little here, since this must continue to be studied: it seems to me that there is a mixture of the white man with the black man here, or—more likely, there is a genetic manipulation here, like the many that have been carried out carried out all over the world for quite some time now.

And I say genetic manipulation because this would explain the apparent absence or shortage of green and blue eyes that we see in this population. When scientists talk about mutation, this usually refers to genetic manipulation.

Apparently these blacks are not as “pure” as “the purest Africans, those who have not mixed.” And they have been used as an example to try to minimize the blondeness of David and the couple in love that the book of songs presents.

And don't be fooled, because although these people live in the so-called "Solomon Islands", they are geographically located in the territory near Papua New Guinea and of Oceania; that is, in the area of Australia. They have nothing to do with Israel, perceptually speaking. Searching on the Google map we see that from Israel to the Solomon Islands it is about 8,651 miles away. That's a pretty wide distance.

This means that this “pure” black person with naturally blonde hair is a very distant possibility, if there is one, at best. Everything points to a genetic mixture or alteration, and—at best, this is an exception, not a rule. And here at CristoVerdad we have always presented that an exception does not make the rule, although we know that exceptions exist. The point is that we cannot affirm what we cannot prove.

“Ellen White's Commentaries on Blacks are cruel, they are criminal.”

Miguel refers to that famous quote from the Adventist prophetess, who says that “in heaven there will be no color line because we will all be white like the Lord Jesus” and other quotes such as that “blacks should not seek equal conditions” or that “White people should not marry black people.”

Below I leave the topic about Ellen White, where we cover her cruelty and racism, because that is what it is. Watch the third video: RACIST.

Cruel and criminal, correct—Miguel. But with all due respect, brotherAnd aren't your comments about white people cruel or criminal? Do you believe that calling a person inferior because of their simple physical appearance and skin color or a so-called intellectual inferiority is an act of love? I dare you to go and tell a white person what you think about his race, to see how he reacts, if you are going to see it as an act of love on your part.

From what I see you presenting is that virtually all biblical characters are black—at least those who served God, and that is not in the Bible, which includes the sanctuary and creation. IUIC presents that same teaching, and that is what you are preaching.

One story that I did not have time to cover during my Zoom presentation was Moses' affair with the Cushite woman.

This biblical quote would deserve its own study in itself, but for the moment, let's focus on what happened there. Moses takes Zipporah as his wife, who was a woman from the region of Cush. And Aaron and his sister Mary murmured against their brother Moses, “because of this Cushite woman…” And what was it about this woman that they murmured against Moses? 

Some versions of the Bible present Zipporah as an Ethiopian woman. And Ethiopians, generally speaking, are black people. Well, to begin with, the scripture does not directly mention the Cushites as one of those people that God commanded Israel not to mix, because of idolatry and perversion, much less because of skin color.

And Cush or Kush was the eldest son of Ham, brother of Misraim (Egypt) and Canaan (GEN. 10:6). And Ham was the same son of Noah who saw his nakedness. Cush was the father of Nimrod. (Gen. 10:8). So here we see a generation of people separated from God, and it could be suggested that this was the cause of the murmuring. However, the scripture does not affirm this.

The entire territory known today as Africa is the land of Cush. And Africans, for the most part, are black. Although we cannot know exactly, it is very likely that Zipporah was black and that this was the reason why Aaron and Miriam murmured against Moses, since the text specifically mentions that it was because of their Cushite race that was the cause of the murmuring. The young woman in love with the book of songs presents us with a glimpse of what was happening in Israel at that time:

⁵ I am dark, oh daughters of Jerusalem, but covetable Like the tents of Cedar, Like Solomon's curtains.
⁶ Don't notice that I'm dark, Because the sun looked at me. My mother's sons were angry with me; They put me to guard the vineyards; And my vineyard, which was mine, I did not keep. —SONGS 1:5-6

The text suggests that Israel not only had a problem of idolatry but also racism. And this could very well explain that both Mary and Aaron were affected by this scourge of Satan.

However, what it seems is that Moses was not very involved with this issue of racism, nor was God much less, to say from the admonition they received from God, mainly Mary (or Miriam), who seems to have been the instigator of this murmuring, since his name is mentioned first (EX. 12:1). And if they murmured against Moses for having taken a black woman, I ask, what color skin was Moses? And Moses, note this fact, was a Levite.

Let us not forget that it was the Jews who were involved in discriminating against people because of their race. Such is the case of his relationship with the Samaritans and the rest of the Gentiles. Apparently they didn't understand how “insignificant” they once were.

But God has this to say:

Are we calling the man for whom Christ died inferior?

Yes, Jesus died for the white man, just as he died for the black man, the Chinese man, and the Japanese man.

“Black is more fertile.”

I really don't know where you get this information from. When you and I immigrated to the United States in 1994, for example, black people were by far the largest minority in the United States, with whites being the largest demographic. Today, almost 30 years later, whites are still the majority and Hispanics are now the largest minority, and it is estimated that in a couple of decades—if Christ has not come yet, they will be the majority—they have not been exterminated. with vaccines, of course. And while it is true that a good amount of the Latino population in the United States is black, the vast majority is a mixture of different races, which we can observe by the great variety of colors in this population.

And a mixture is not “a purer breed”, according to what you yourself have taught. So Hispanic blacks cannot be counted as blacks—according to your own description, since they are not “purer.” And although the African American population continues to grow in the United States, Latinos are the “most fertile” group, to say due to their great demographic growth, that in a short time in this country they have surpassed the black population in number. And it has not only been the migration of Latinos to the United States that has contributed to its population growth, but also due to its great fertility, reproducing on American soil.

Blacks are the majority in Africa, just as the Chinese are the majority in China, but from there to declare that the black is more fertile is an exaggeration, given that the majority of people in the world—to this day, are not black. . And let's see, the Chinese should be called the most fertile in the world, since there is no race more numerous than them, closely followed by the Hindus. Furthermore, even if it were true that the black is more fertile, where do we get that for that reason this gives us the right to call those who are not black an inferior race, from where?

I hope for a single biblical text that only hints that white people are an inferior race. Those are personal conjectures, which biblical scripture does not support. And since we have covered the topic a little, where do we find that teaching in the sanctuary or in creation, where?

Returning to the book of Songs, let us consider the following:

¹⁰ My beloved is white and blonde, Designated among ten thousand.
¹¹ His head like the finest gold; Her hair curly, black like the crow —SONGS 5:10-11

Miguel pointed out in his study of Los Gigantes that there is a contradiction here. And since there is a contradiction, then we reject the text completely. My comment would be, yes there is a contradiction, Why does the balance always have to fall on the side that defends your position—black race as a superior race? Why wouldn't that so-called contradiction be where the text says the hair was black? Why automatically reject blonde? In English this is called “bias” or favoritism.

One thing I have known in my study of the scriptures over time is that in the Bible, while it is true that man has introduced contradictions (DAN. 7:25, JER. 8:8), Not everything is a contradiction, even if something seems like a contradiction. Before stating something as a contradiction, We must first seek harmony and see if it can be reconciled with the rest of the scriptures. (JOHN 5:39). There are things that sometimes are not obvious and you have to dig a little deeper. That is why it is so important that we understand the teaching in the book of Isaiah:

⁹ Who will be taught science, or who will be made to understand doctrine? To the weaned? To those torn from the breasts? 

¹⁰ Because commandment after commandment, command upon command, line after line, line upon line, a little there, a little there;

¹¹ for in the tongue of stutterers, and in a strange tongue he will speak to this people, 

¹² To whom he said, This is the rest; give rest to the weary; and this is the refreshment; but they did not want to hear. 

¹³ Therefore the word of the Lord will be to them commandment after commandment, command upon command, line upon line, line upon line, a little there, a little there; until they go and fall on their backs, and are broken, bound, and taken. —ISAIAH 28:9-13

Once again, if in the same text or in any other place in the scriptures we see an apparent contradiction, we must analyze line by line, a little here and a little there, until the truth comes to light. For a long time we did that in ChristTruth, and God was always glorified in us. But nevertheless I see that we are losing that direction.

And what did I find when I reanalyzed the text?

Well, to start, during my Zoom study I was going to cover that apparent contradiction in Song of Solomon 5:10, but with the rush of time it escaped me, and here I present it to you. Let's look at the text in some versions and translations so we can compare:

Ok, what we can see here is that when the text says my beloved is white and blonde, it is not referring to the hair, but to the skin color. The color “pink” refers to a reddish skin tone, which we can find in both white and black people. However, the text emphasizes “my friend is white,” and then “pink” or “blonde,” which indicates a reddish white and not a reddish black. English Bibles say Ruddy, which means the same thing, a reddish color. So, this apparent contradiction is simply nothing more than a lack of research, according to what I have found here.

Someone once pointed out to you, Michael, the text of Colossians 2:14, where it seems to suggest that the law of God was abolished. Tell me, if you saw a contradiction, why didn't you reject the text then? Did you not go and search until God showed you to look in older versions where the text was clearer?

What happens, I understand, is that you have put aside the method given by God (ISA. 28:13), to be able to carry out your own conjectures. And this is not a perception, it is what I am clearly seeing.

I remember that at some point you shared an audio where you said that the black man is so superior to the white man, that “the white man does not have the capacity to build septic tanks.” I'm rambling, but where do you get that the white man doesn't have the capacity to build a septic tank? What does the white man say about it?

Another one…

Since quite a bit was covered in my video, I'm going to close with this. In your last video Miguel, at some point you said “No one has golden skin.”, and that is correct. And I'm going to take it further, no one on this earth has skin the color of burnished bronze. That tone does not exist in our skin. That is why both Daniel (10:6) and John (Revelation 1:15) speak of feet and arms similar—not equal to burnished bronze.

And similar, I repeat, is not the same as equal. No one has that skin color on earth, since both Daniel and John saw Jesus in his glory in heaven. As I mentioned before, they saw things that none of the disciples who walked with Jesus saw. And John, by the way, was one of those disciples and he himself did not recognize Christ in his vision:

¹² And I turned to see the voice that spoke to me; and when I returned, I saw seven golden lampstands, 

¹³ and in the middle of the seven candlesticks, to one like the Son of Man, dressed in clothing that reached to the feet, and girded around the chest with a gold sash. 

¹⁴ His head and hair were white like white wool, like snow; his eyes like a flame of fire; 

¹⁵ and his feet were like polished bronze, shining as in a furnace; and his voice is like the sound of many waters. —REVELATION 1:12-15

John saw one like the son of man, he does not even say the son of man. What John saw in his vision on the island of Patmos was not Jesus the Christ who walked the earth, but “one like unto the son of man.” And John was the disciple who walked closest with Jesus.

⁶ His body was like beryl, and his face was like lightning, and his eyes were like torches of fire, and his arms and his feet like a burnished bronze color, and the sound of his words like the roar of a crowd. —DANIEL 10:6

And Daniel, for his part, also says that he saw one like the son of man. That is to say, Daniel did not see the son of man in himself, but rather the Glory of Christ. “His body was like beryl“, which indicates that “the color of Jesus” is green, since beryl is a precious stone whose color is a bluish green and emerald, similar to colors that we find on some beaches in the Caribbean.

It should be noted that there are color variations in beryl, such as red, gold, etc., but this greenish color is the most abundant in nature. So, did the disciples see a green Jesus? If you think so, then they also saw it in burnished bronze color. But if not, then you must reject the idea that Jesus is black simply because he is compared to polished bronze.

Daniel and John saw a Jesus with arms and feet resembling burnished bronze in color, while his body was green like beryl. But more importantly, what they saw was pure glory, and that explains the burnished bronze color and a beryl-colored body, because that was nothing they had ever seen in a man's body.

[EDITION, May 12, 2024]

And that glory that John and Daniel saw was full of symbols; and that is what those colors of metals and precious stones represent: symbols. Symbols that, until further notice, have not been revealed, or at least we do not understand. And if we don't understand them, we must continue studying.

The main problem here is that part of a biblical text has been taken—“burnished bronze,” isolating it from the rest of the text—“head white, body resembling beryl,” and the real context of the complete text has been lost: the glory of Christ. The principle of Isaiah 28:13 and John 5:39 is being completely violated. And as long as this principle is violated it is impossible to understand the word of God correctly.

[END EDIT]

So taking the burnished bronze color and declaring that this is why Jesus was a black man does not do justice to biblical scripture, because although it may seem to imply it, the scripture does not declare it. And if the scripture does not declare it, it is because it has not been revealed. And if it has not been revealed, you and I must be silent in this matter (DEUT. 29:29).

And I understand the issue of dreams that there are people who have dreamed of a black Jesus Christ. However, this is no guarantee of anything either, for the Lord manifests himself in many ways—as in the form of a whirlwind before Job, or a burning bush before Moses, and it is not until he comes in his second coming that the scripture declares:

³² Beloved, we are now children of God, and it has not yet been revealed it that we must be; but we know that when he appears, we will be like him, because we will see him as he is. —JOHN 1:32

We will see him, that is, we have not seen him as he is. And that is what John says, one who saw it in the flesh. That is, John knows that the Jesus who walked the earth is not the glorified Jesus who is coming. And neither John nor any of the disciples who walked with him ever mentioned his skin color, good or bad.

It is my understanding that there is something here that has not been revealed, but that we will know very soon, since his second coming is very close. And until further notice, to say that Jesus was—or is white or black or any other color, is to add to the scriptures, and is—I understand, a path of quicksand for anyone who decides to walk through it.

[EDITION, May 12, 2024]

It has been declared that “Jesus had the same physical body on earth as he has in heaven.” Well, the scriptures don't say that. In fact, the scriptures say no:

⁴ because the blood of bulls and goats cannot take away sins.
⁵ Therefore, entering into the world, he says: Sacrifice and offering you did not want; Further you prepared my body. —HEBREWS 0:4-5

If a body was prepared for Jesus to live on earth, it is because this body is different from that in heaven. And no, we are not just talking about Jesus being given a child's body to be born of a virgin, but a body in a totally different nature than the one he had in heaven. Let us remember the description that John and Daniel gave of Jesus in heaven, and then imagine for a moment that Jesus—having the same physical body of heaven on earth, What would have been the reaction of everyone who saw it on earth? Do you think that an author as meticulous as Luke would have ignored those details?  

Do you remember the story of Moses' shining face?

²⁹ When Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of testimony in his hand, when he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face glowed for having spoken with God. 

³⁰ When Aaron and all the Israelites saw that the skin of Moses' face was shining, they were afraid to approach him.

³¹ Then Moses called them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.

³³ When Moses finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. —EXODUS 34:29-31, 33

And the question I ask myself is, How many people on earth would have approached Jesus if he had: a) a head white as wool, b) feet and arms like burnished bronze, and c) the rest of his body green as beryl?

If you claim that Jesus had feet and hands—or his entire body—like burnished bronze, then you also have to add the other characteristics that Daniel and John present, since these come from the same biblical texts that speak of burnished bronze. No, the Bible does not declare that Jesus was a black man any more than it declares that he was a white man. And since the Bible does not declare it, I am silent on that matter.

We will probably have a Q&A with Miguel next Saturday, February 24, and I have reserved some questions for then. With this and what may happen in that question and answer section, I conclude the topic. I agree with Miguel, we should not be in a continuous back and forth on this topic. The two positions have already been presented, you be the jury. If God reveals something different along the way, then we will make the necessary adjustments.

[EDITION, May 13, 2024]

That radical position that you have, Miguel, on the nature of Christ and the white race as an inferior race not only awakens passions, but also many questions that must be answered; I close this study with some of them:

If the black man, since his creation, is physically or intellectually superior to the white man, I need you or someone to explain to me, How is it possible that the white man, being a physically and intellectually inferior race, enslaved the black man?? How is it possible that the white man controls the riches of this world if his intellectual quality is vastly inferior to that of the black man? How is it that this “purest” African race, being the “most fertile” of all, is not the majority in the world? And how is it that God created a superior race and an inferior race?

And with none of this I am saying that the white man is superior for possessing any of these characteristics or qualities. I am simply presenting that you have made this a racial issue and apparently have forgotten the most important part: sin. Yes, I know you mentioned that “sin changed everything on this earth,” but then you only focused on the issue of skin color, and that is not correct, apart from the fact that God himself does not give that focus in his word.

And the question of the questions that I ask myself is:

If only the black man was made in the perfect (pure) image and likeness of God, and that “Being the image and likeness of something or someone “It is being physically and morally the same as that someone is.”, and that since the Haitians supposedly represent the priestly Tribe of Levi today, Why is there so much witchcraft in Haiti? And while, Michael, you have not categorized the 12 Tribes of Israel as the Israel United in Christ ministry has done, you said that “the 12 Tribes of Israel were black.” So I rephrase my question, Why is there so much witchcraft in Africa and in countries with populations of African descent if the black man was made physically and MORALLY equal to God?  And the issue of the fall of man cannot be sustained as a favirecible answer, since—and once again, the black man was made “equally equal to God” and God—as already established, does not sin. And since by these means it has been suggested that God can sin, let's see what the Bible says:

¹³ When anyone is tempted, let him not say that he is tempted by God; because God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; —JAMES 1:13

And if God cannot be tempted by evil, can the idea that God can sin be even hinted at?

If the black man is morally equal to God, then we must assume that no black man in human history has ever sinned, for God—in his most holy morality, has never sinned, has he not? Has the black man sinned?

Another thing, apparently you have classified everyone who is not white as black, and that is a serious error, where you will not find support either in the Bible, much less in science. Only by uniting all those other races that you are classifying as black can you affirm that the black man is the most fertile in the world. But that classification is yours and does not reflect the reality of human genetics. The hair of the Indian man, for example, is very different from that of the African man, because they are different races. One is not better than the other, they are just different.

The Chinese or Japanese man is not white, but he is not black either. The Hindu man is not white, but he is not black either, although his skin tone is closer to black than white. And the culture of the Hindu man is very different from that of the African man; They are different races.

The Arab man is not black, Miguel, he is Arab, just as the native Mayan man is not black, he is Mayan, with very different characteristics from the African man, not only in his skin tone.

If you look at nature you will realize that God created a multitude of different “breeds” of animals, with an equal multitude of colors. The same thing happens with the human race, since we have a creator God who in turn—by the way, is very creative. No one is going to confuse a Japanese with an Anglo-Saxon, since they are different races, because that is how God created them, different, not superior to one another, much less inferior, one below the other.

Honestly—and I say it with all due respect—your position not only doesn't fit with the biblical position, but it doesn't even fit with human reasoning or logic, nor does science. The arguments you have presented are very weak, and I am truly still trying to understand how you have strayed so far from what the word of God teaches. That is my position regarding what you are presenting at this time.

As I noted above, both positions have already been presented, you, dear reader, be the jury.
