George Floyd painting in Catholic university

BTW, THIS is how you win the "Bible Trivia Game". Don't play.

That's why I've asked her to leave with her derails and other crap.

That’s not the point. The point is that the university is representing someone who is not Christ as Christ, which is the height of blasphemy. Of course, the RCC is famous for its adoration of depictions of what they think the Lord looked like, all of which are wrong, and many of which are idolatrous. So you didn’t need to point it out.

I don’t want you in this thread with your derails and rabbit holes. You may leave now.

Please don’t respond to her anymore, as I’ve asked her to leave.

And yes me brudder, this time it IS about you

I don't have any problem with any depictions of Jesus as a member of the local race - but there are limits to what can be considered appropriate.

A local church has a stained glass window depicting him as a woman, which I count disrespectful.

A black man who had been doing good works and wrongfully murdered for doing them depicted as Jesus - that wouldn't be a problem.

Both are blasphemous.

OOOOooooops.

First of all, I actually amen'd your post.

Second of all --- one of my favorite related stories.

A child was busy sitting on the floor drawing something, and Mom took an interest.
Mom asked, "honey, what are you drawing?"
Child answered "a picture of Jesus".
Mom - Nobody knows what Jesus looked like.
Child - "They will when I'm done!"

Please don’t respond to her anymore, as I’ve asked her to leave.

Every time I see a pic of "white Jesus", I say "Hey!! Jim Caviezel!!!"

I think of Robert Powell. Both equally wrong!

As I posted earlier this seems to be a depiction of Floyd as a sainted martyr being received by Jesus. I don't think they intend on portraying Floyd as Jesus. I also don't think Floyd was in any way a saint.

Don't forget the British accent and the King James quotations!

See it all works!

You are mistaken! Jesus was 6'4" blond hair and blue eyed. And looked like Tab Hunter! Get your facts straight...

A comment by one of the senior students quoted in the article really says it all:

"Jared Jagiello, a student senator representing the university’s School of Architecture and Planning, told The Daily Signal that “nobody should be portrayed as Jesus except” Jesus himself."

As we have no idea what the original Galilean Jew may have looked like, perhaps no iconography should be permitted, including any portrayals in religious dramas.

Some have tried to gain insight by using a few verses in Revelation but...

More solid derivation available from Hebrews, but "more solid" is a relative term - the only thing less solid might be hydrogen.
