God, Jesus, Holy Spirit (The Trinity), Salvation, Christianity, etc. goes beyond race.

DEL,
I am so glad you wrote what you did. I just came from seeing the Passion..and was interested to see what other GCers had to say. I was literally SICKENED TO MY CORE to see that the conversation has to be reduced to discussing the fact that Jesus was or wasn't portrayed as a black man...or that other people were "melanin challenged." If a person is that hung up on color that they won't support a movie about Christ's life because he's portrayed by someone that is NOT black...or even further won't even consider that the Galilean Jesus Christ was white....I think that person should question their understanding of Jesus Christ and his teachings.
I wanted to share my views about the movie, but I changed my mind because I am just THAT disgusted that people MUST ALWAYS bring race into the discussion.
I REALLY WOULD HATE TO SEE THE REACTION OF SOME OF
MY BLACK BROTHERS AND SISTERS IF ON JUDGMENT DAY JESUS IS WHITE! WHAT ARE YA GONNA DO...GO THE OTHER WAY???
That goes for errybody else too.
