as white

Nelson Mandela's widow Graca Machel has implored anti-racism campaigners not to tear down statues because they serve as grave reminders of past atrocities. The activist said: 'I believe even it might be much more positive to keep them because you are going to tell generations to come "this is how it started and this is how it should never be."' Her remarks put her at loggerheads with the Archbishop of Canterbury, who today revealed he would be reviewing statues at Canterbury Cathedral. Justin Welby said monuments would be looked at 'very carefully' to see if they all 'should be there'. In a wide-ranging interview, he also urged the West

Sounds to me like the Archbishop of Canterbury isn't much of a Christian if he is worried about what color skin Jesus has. Being the Son of God is a lot more important in my mind that the raciss concerns this so-called "Christian leader" is all worked up about. Is he trying to outdo Pope Francis?

God being God can appear to whomever she likes
in whatever tent he likes
whenever he/she likes.
This one has always felt that a loving God
can appear to everyone on the planet at the same time
and everyone would think that god looks a lot like
some familiar family member.
Don't take down any "white Jesus".
Put up "black Jesus",
and "red Jesus",
and "yellow Jesus",
and freaking "rainbow Jesus".
He's big enough for all.

The A of C has been a leftist twit for as long as I have known about him. Worthless, not any kind of real Christian.

The Archbishop has no control over the Cathedral. He has a seat there but the building ain't his. The cathedral is run be a Dean and Chapter. The Queen is head of the Church, and appoints the Archbish. He has been a steady drip-drip of a disaster for Christianity.
Maybe time for Her Maj to step up to the episcopal plate and lay down some sensible smack.

Well, I think if the world keeps making hero’s out of addicts, telling kids it’s ok to be gay, teaching sex in elementary schools, make tv stars out of drag queens, there are more then two genders, killing babies before and right after they are born, kill off the elderly, cloning, and assisted suicide, we just might find out real soon if God is white black pink green or maybe evenpurple. What does it matter what color.
God said He made us in HIS image and likeness. So maybe to black people he is black. Yellow people, yellow. White people, white. Purple people, purple. As long as He is our God and Savior, does it matter. I don’t think it does to Him.

The last several A of C's have gone in whole hog for the "social gospel" and have denied the fundamental doctrines of Christianity. Their denomination has become like the fig tree that Jesus cursed, so I don't think it matters much what Justin Welby thinks.

Sounds to me that the Archbishop is a blatant antiSemite. The color of First Century Jews is not open to individual interpretation. Don’t misappropriate what isn’t yours, reverend. Sounds to me that you don’t quite understand the Bible. Your political correctness is disgusting.

If a cowardly church can remake Jesus into a black, then that's a phony religion.

I'm amazed at her comment, frankly.
I am not any kind of fan of the communist terrorist Mandela.
