Wright and his mansion in a white neighborhood is hypocritical. He lives one way and preaches another.
Ben, he does get paid for his public speaking and he get a salary from his church. I can't say if he gets his income the wrong way. He's entitled to make good money just like anyone else, but his message isn't what I would want or expect from a clergy.
The Bible is colour-blind with regards to Jesus ..... No, no
Zia, my understanding is that the church is building this mansion as a gift to reverend wright.
Well Benny Boy, that would depend on how your define "color-blind" and BTW.... learn how to spell.
The Bible give a description of what Jesus looked like. Just like everything else, it's up to interpretation. There are still tribes/groups of Jews that are black in Israel. He could have been black or a very dark Arab looking guy. It doesn't make sense that he would be a Caucasian as the artist portrayals have it.
Arabs are of the Caucasian race, as are Semitic Jews.
The black Jews in Israel are chiefly Ethiopian immigrants.
