Hussein Speech: Jesus Was Black? Christians In The Lion’s Den?
Okay look, it is absolutely fine and normal for people to get Bible stories mixed up or just plain wrong.
No problem, happens all the time.
However, if you are giving the biggest speech of your life, with your aim as the most powerful man on Earth, centered around your “Bible” teacher, Pastor, and spiritual guide, it would help if within your well-crafted, finely honed speech, you got Bible stories right.
I’m just sayin…pay attention to the video. All the stories “came alive” to him, including that old Bible staple and basic Sunday school building block: “Christians in the Lion’s Den.”
Christians? In the sixth century BC?
The “Lion’s Den” story appears in the Old Testament in the Book of Daniel. Long before there were Christians, several hundred years before Jesus even came on the scene. It was Daniel in that lion’s den. Not Christians.
Yes, the Romans did sadistic things to Christians with lions centuries later, and this may seem nitpicky. But like I said, when you are giving the biggest speech of your life, with your aim as the most powerful man on Earth, centered around your “Bible” teacher, Pastor, and spiritual guide, it would help if within your well-crafted, finely honed speech, you got Bible stories right.
And it was a Valley of Dry Bones, not a field. I know, I know…nitpicky…
By the way, the teachings of that particular church include Jesus being black. Remember when Hannity was grilling Wright and Wright kept asking “How many of Cones’ books have you read?” Well, Cones promoted the whole Black Theology thing, including the notion that Jesus was a black man.
Anybody taking bets they have a picture of black Jesus in their little Sunday school for kids class?
When He walked the Earth Jesus wasn’t black…nor was He white…He was a Jew.
