The Hebrew word used to describe David as Ruddy is the same Hebrew word used to describe Esau as Red. This is the Hebrew word Admony Pronounce Ad-Mo_nee, it's number 132 in the Strong's concordance. The word means red or reddish. Both King David and Esau were Hebrews, scripture tells us the Hebrews are and were a black skinned nation. So how do these two Hebrews get associated with being white skinned Europeans? What does it mean by describing them as red?
Admonee / ruddy has nothing at all to do with white skin, the word for white skin in Hebrew is laban, it means white or becoming white. Laban is used in Exodus 4: where Yah tells Moses to put his hand into his bosom, and it turns white as Snow. Laban is also used to describe Moses sister Miriam when Yah struck her with Leprosy and turned her entire body white (Numbers 12). It's used once again to describe Gheazi being stricken with Leprosy and having his skin turn white in 2nd kings 5:27.
Never once when it mentions Israelites being turned white with Leprosy, does it describe their skin as turning red or ruddy. That's because red and ruddy is not associated with white skin. If the redness of David and Esau were associated with white skin, the word laban would have been used.

And reference back to DANIEL where it says his hair was like wool, not white like wool. So we know that that means that Yehoshuah had a thick, kinky hair and that when he returns it will be white in color. So, no, that doesn't help at all. It's in fact completely irrelevant.
I beheld till the thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool

And as a final note, Nightchild, I found this:

Red hair is also fairly common amongst the Ashkenazi Jewish populations, possibly because of the influx of European DNA over a period of centuries, or in the original founding of their communities in Europe,[15] although both Esau and David are described in the Bible as red-haired. In European culture, prior to the 20th century, red hair was often seen as a stereotypically Jewish trait: during the Spanish Inquisition, all those with red hair were identified as Jewish.[16] In Italy, red hair was associated with Italian Jews, and Judas was traditionally depicted as red-haired in Italian and Spanish art.[17] Writers from Shakespeare to Dickens would identify Jewish characters by giving them red hair.[18] The stereotype that red hair is Jewish remains in parts of Eastern Europe and Russia.
Black Hebrew Israelites (also Black Hebrews, African Hebrew Israelites, and Hebrew Israelites) are groups of people mostly of Black African ancestry situated mainly in the United States who believe they are descendants of the ancient Israelites. Black Hebrews adhere in varying degrees to the religious beliefs and practices of mainstream Judaism. They are generally not accepted as Jews by the greater Jewish community, and many Black Hebrews consider themselves — and not mainstream Jews — to be the only authentic descendants of the ancient Israelites. Many choose to self-identify as Hebrew Israelites or Black Hebrews rather than as Jews

Oh, I see. Well, let's see what Daniel 7 says, then;
I beheld till the thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool
Oops, it says the same. Bummer.

Ah well, reminds me of an editor that tried to erase the "White" stuff from that very same line, on Wikipedia, so that it would seem to say that Jesus had Afro-hair, but was lectured and had his edit reverted as the sources simply do not say that. That didn't happen to be you, was it?

No it doesn't. It doesn't say that his hair is white! It says that his garments are white and that his hair is like pure wool. It doesn't say WHITE like pure wool. Now you are just being straight-up dishonest.
1. Ad hominem personal attack
2. Wrong. I follow Scripture. The source where I find evidence to back up the Scriptural claims is irrelevant. My claims are backed up regardless.
3. I do know some Hebrew Israelites personally though.
4. I don't care if they are accepted as Jews by the "greater Jewish community"
5. None of this changes the Scriptural fact that the original Hebrews were Black.
6. What are "fluffballs"? Sounds like a racist comment to me.

The description given clearly describes as white.Oh and the ''wool'' is the colour,not the texture.
Christ,who did not exist by the way,was said to have been born in a land where it might as well of been Ireland for the amount of white skinned,freckled people that lived there.
Remember too that Christianity was brought about to take over Europe for Jewish control,hence why the god figures are white.
Christ,had he existed,would of been white.edit on 13/6/12 by Viking9019 because: (no reason given)

You mean you read that they were black and you felt good thinking about it,so it must of been true.Its not a fact.
Its funny that the Israelites were described as being light skinned(think Iranian)and here you are claiming that they were black?
Which Afrocentric site did you get this rubbish from anyway?

Lets not forget that Afrocentrics see everything in black and white.They think like children and dark skin,any dark skin,whether it be brown,has to be black for them.

The Egyptians depicted themselves as being light skinned as well as dark skinned,but with Middle Eastern facial features and not black(they were the slaves).

Why is skin color important to you? Who cares what color Christ's skin is? Does it change what He did on the cross 2,000 years ago? There is no Jew or Gentile, male or female in Christ and there will be people from all tribes, nations and cultures in heaven. Who cares if He is caucasian, hispanic, asian, or african? Why are you all hung up on skin color???
BOTH images in the OP are wrong, we are specifically told not to have any images of God or anything in heaven.edit on 13-6-2012 by NOTurTypical because: (no reason given)
