>Swedish churches are officially replacing all depictions of Jesus that are too white-looking with black or middle eastern versions.
How progressive
the paintings of jesus from the early church was propaganda for germanic heathens anyway
inb4 /svt/ damage control

What it exactly is wrong with this, Jesus was born in Israel. He probably looked like a mizrahi Jew or Syrian man. Only idiots think he was a Nordic man
>According to Swedish archbishop Antje Jackelén the new depictions will serve to induce the many young men recently migrated from from Africa and the middle east to join the ecclesiastic community
>This will contribute greatly to the integration of these young men

because he was the son of god, not a semitic subhuman
>>74620180
He would probably looked mixed, since he's god's son. But nobody would know what god looks like anyways. I think the implication is that god is white since white is associated with being pure.

>not a Semitic subhuman
That's literally what he was, he doesn't look like some majestic Viking dude.
>>74620418
Or maybe jesus was partly opaque
>>74620418
Either way, I don't think it matters what he looks like. There's a reason why the bible never mentions his skin color or hair/eye color. What mattered is what he did
>oi m9, that Jesus you're praying to is not black enough

were you there ??

He was described in the bible as looking like an average man, nothing about him physically stood out. You really think he looked like a blonde haired/blue eyed pale Northern European man? The man ethnically Jewish/aramean
to prove that the ideas of jesus is more than what jesus was you should make a black jesus
if there is some kind of conflict it means you care more about his appearance than anything hence not someone who cares enough about jesus in the first place
while the whitey jesus makes good for western art the image of jesus is suppose to be more than just art and in the more than sense being white is irrelevant
sacrificing the nugatory whitey aestheticism for some good wholesome reaffirmation is not a bad thing
remember if your pride gets in the way you don't love jesus you love him for being white
>>74620180
You don't destroy your history for political reasons. If it is indeed replacing instead of stopping creating new white Jesus, this is taliban-destroying-buddha tier.
>>74620674
are you saying "jews are not white"??
>>>/pol/
>>74620773
Well, that's the consensus on /Int/, plus look at aramean people and mizrachi Jews, they don't look "white" at all. To be white you must be 100% European
>>74619998
I unironically hate Sweden.
>>74620180
All cultures around the world depict Jesus as someone more like themselves in appearance, dress, and so on. The Michelangelo Jesus is kind of the standard, but you can find Indian Jesus, Korean Jesus, African Jesus, Nordic Jesus etc., so there's absolutely no reason for Swedes to do this aside from political reasons to accommodate foreigners.
It's like that lesbian bishop of the Church of Sweden who wanted a church in a port city to remove all Christian symbolism in order to make the church more "accommodating" to Muslims and other non-Christians who might want to worship at the church. Another example of the Swedes hacking away at their traditions in order to go along with the political zeitgeist.

He was normal looking simple human at the same time. That was the whole point.

The fact that it's immediately believable should concern you
OP is lying, all that's in the article is the story of Jesus, nothing about any news.
>>74622000
Are you not taught in school to always check the sources?
>>74622000
The fact that you fall for this should concern you and what you believe.
African Christians are usually muslim-tier savages when it comes to dealing with faggots. SJWs who advocate faggotry might have to pay for what they have done by being raped to death or being burned alive.

God is not a filthy dude, bruda. :^)
>>74622647
God is black. Are you saying all black people are filthy dude?
>>74622774
No, I'm saying dudes and/or dudettes should never elevate themselves to even "look" like God. :^)
