As I watched , I couldn’t help remembering that just a couple of days ago one of the front men for the Marxist group that calls itself ” Black Lives Matter ” stated that all depictions of Jesus Christ as anything other than ” a black man ” should be destroyed.
I watched a video before on if the glass ball, globe, was solid or hollow in the picture.
Their big question was “How could Leonardo be so smart as to paint it perfectly.”
Here is a clue. He had a model holding it and copied it very well. Perfectly in fact.
Jesus was a middle eastern Jew.
Definitely NOT African.
Anyone concerned bout the color of Jesus’ skin, is missing the point.
They are no longer worried about what he said, what he taught, what he gave us, what he did for us.
Any discussion that stops at his skin, stops being about Jesus, and about something else entirely.
