CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The short answer is no. The team of prophets and teachers at Antioch was made up of Middle Eastern and dark skinned Africans. There were no whites there at all, because men in the region had olive skins and white ones. White skinned people were Germanic and Scandinavian and probably Ancient Britons.

It and racism has no place in Christianity.
We are all decended from Adam, we are all sinners and we all need the same saviour.

Clergy in the American South used the Bible to support slavery in the years leading up the the Civil War. Some of the Popes during the Renaissance period supported slavery, possibly in hopes of winning converts to the faith. Regardless, white supremacy would appear to be against what Jesus preached.

No. It does not. Only God is Supreme, and He's not White, or Black, or any hue in between.

Amen
Since Jesus/Yeshua IS God, and He is Sephardic Jewish, God has medium brown skin.

White supremacy is just as offensive and racist as "black lives matter".
Both are unworthy of those who claim to love and serve God.

The Sephardim are not just from Spain. (although most in the Americas are) All Mediterranean Jews and those from Arab countries are Sephardic.

Wouldn't it just be easier, and maybe clearer to all here, to say that Jesus was a 1st Century Palestinian Jew? Regardless, in my comment above, I was referring to God in His Transcendent state, not His earthly one. When the Angel of Christ appeared to John in the book of Revelation, He didn't look like any earthly personage, and that it my overall point. And then, of course, there is also the appearance of the earthly Jesus in the Transfiguration--His natural 'look' is to "shine like the sun."

I would never say that. There was no such place as "palestine" in the first century.
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
That includes ethnicity.

By NOT calling Him "Palestinian"?
Why would I want to insult our Lord by calling Him or his birth place by a name invented by the Romans as a racial insult against the Jews?

...who says I was referring to today's reference for Palestine? Obviously, I didn't refer to the 'state of Palestine.' Now, you're just getting a bit ridiculous and inferring that I'm somehow 'downing' our Lord. I don't appreciate that!

You may not know the history. The name was invented in the 2nd century to insult the Jews who had just lost the Bar Kochba revolt (circa 135 ad) Before that, the Province was called "Judea." (as it is consistently named thru the New Testament)
So "Palestine" is both an insult to Jews and biblicaly incorrect.

Ok, Mr. Ultra-Literalist. Jesus was a 1st Century Jew of Judea. Is that better?
However, this doesn't counter my contention that in a glorified state, I doubt very much that Jesus resembles ...... "merely".... a shephardic Jew. As if God, in Christ, is overly concerned with identifying Himself with one people in the overall scheme of things. Sure, He did that at the beginning, but now His grace and identity has spread to ALL people.
And if anyone is going to work to demolish all of the racism in the world, I for one would very much like to see the idea of White Supremacy fall...............HARD!!! The same goes for any other form(s) of ethnic supremacy.

It did, and it may be clear on these forums that it allegedly does have a significant, founded place.

You are being dishonest.
BLM is, and always was about bringing awareness to, and protesting against the obviously egregious police brutality and murder against Black persons in the States. It was a direct protest against the racist justice system in the States - which categorically stems from white supremacy.
For people to continue to equate BLM with other violent, murderous, marauding hate groups whose foundations have always been about hate against persons is ignorant at best, but expected. People are just playing their respective agent roles in this iteration of repeated history. Some have no choice but to be a slave to this type of genetic ideology.
You should have your answer by now OP.
