Tim Tebow: ‘I will adopt a child from every continent’

[Anathema]

That's funny! He is at spring training for the Mets. Try to keep up!

He's a minor league camp, non-roster invitee who is being called up to the major league camp this week as roster filler when the Metal lose 11 players to the World Baseball Classic. I have as much chance of playing for the Mets this,regular season as he does.

One of our adopted is a girl from, China. I shudder to think of the life she would have had as an unwanted girl in China.

I was considering adopting a 16 Korean girl, but after recovering from the discussion with my wife, I have changed my mind.

Hey, I was just joking, nothing informative about it, lol.

Its informative and funny. lol

 

[ScienceRocks]

Dude, find yourself a WIFE and a CAREER first.

I second this. To me a kid deserves a mom and a dad.

God bless you and him always!!!

Holly

In my heart I agree with you.

You think no white people live in the Middle East?

Or are you one of those racists that think dark skinned Caucasians are not white?

He was a Jew. They are not the same as Arabs. Sara was blonde. The mother of the Arabs was EGYPTIAN.

Israelites and Ishmaelites both have Abraham (white) as their father, but they have different mothers (Egyptian, and Sara being much more European in features).

A Middle Eastern man and his wife.

White? And they're not even Jewish!

Could be more accurate, but the assumptions that are behind it have no reference to the historical descriptions of Jesus which was that He was a light skinned red haired man, ironically a similar description was traditionally given to Judas.

But even your picture is of a white man, dude.

Race and appearance of Jesus - Wikipedia

The focus of many early sources was on Christ's physical unattractiveness rather than his beauty. The 2nd century anti-Christian philosopher Celsus wrote that Jesus was "ugly and small"[20] and similar descriptions are presented in a number of other sources as discussed extensively by Eisler,[21] who in turn often quotes from Dobschütz' monumental Christusbilder.[22] Tertullian states that Christ's outward form was despised, that he had an ignoble appearance and the slander he suffered proved the 'abject condition' of his body.[23]According to Irenaeus he was a weak and inglorious man[24] and in The Acts of Peter he is described as small and ugly to the ignorant.[21]:439 Andrew of Crete relates that Christ was bent or even crooked[21]:412 and in The Acts of John he is described as bald-headed and small with no good looks.[25]

As quoted by Eisler,[21]:393–394, 414–415 both Hierosolymitanus and John of Damascus claim that "the Jew Josephus" described Christ as having had connate eyebrows with goodly eyes and being long-faced, crooked and well-grown. In a letter of certain bishops to the Emperor Theophilus, Christ's height is described as three cubits (four feet six), which was also the opinion of Ephrem Syrus (320–379 AD), "God took human form and appeared in the form of three human ells (cubits); he came down to us small of stature." Theodore of Mopsuhestia likewise claimed that the appearance of Christ was smaller than that of the children of Jacob (Israel). In the apocryphal Lentulus letter (see below) Christ is described as having had a reddish complexion, matching Muslim traditions in this respect. Christ's prediction that he would be taunted "Physician, heal yourself"[26] may suggest that Christ was indeed physically deformed ('crooked' or hunch-backed) as claimed in the early Christian texts listed above. In fact, Justin Martyr, Tertullian, and Ambrose actually considered lack of physical attractiveness in Jesus as fulfilling the Messianic prophecy "Suffering Servant" narrative of Isaiah 53.[27]...

Quranic and hadith traditions such as Sahih Bukhari as well as tafsir have given an oral depiction of what Jesus looked like, although some accounts do not match, such as Jesus being both curly haired and straight-haired. The hadith refer to Muhammad's account of the Night Journey, when he is supposed to have been taken up to heaven by the angel Gabriel (Jibra'il), where he saw Jesus and other prophets. Most versions of this say that "Jesus had curly hair and a reddish complexion".[33] Others say his face was flushed as if he just had a bath ("a reddish man with many freckles on his face as if he had just come from a bath"[34][35]). In another account from Bukhari Jesus is seen in a dream near the Kaaba, as "a man of a wheatish complexion with straight hair. I asked who it was. They said: This is the Messiah, son of Mary".[36] However, other narrations give variations in the color. Salim ibn Abd-Allah reports from his father Abdullah ibn Umar that the prophet "did not say that Jesus was of red complexion", rather he was "a man of brown complexion and lank hair".[37] In contrast Abd Allah ibn Abbas says that Jesus was of "moderate complexion inclined to the red and white colors and of lank hair."[38]

These variations have been explained in various ways, and have been co-opted to make assertions about race. For example, Ana Echevarría notes that medieval Spanish writer Jiménez de Rada in his Historia arabum chooses a version to emphasise that Jesus is whiter than Muhammad, quoting the Ibn Abbas version: "I saw Jesus, a man of medium height and moderate complexion inclined to the red and white colours and of lank hair". Echevarría comments that "Moses and Jesus are portrayed as specimens of a completely different 'ethnic type', fair and blond; 'ethnic' or 'racial' differences between them and Muhammad are thus highlighted."[39]

A tradition among some Eastern Orthodox that Jesus wasa red head is repeated here.

I dont put a lot of confidence in these descriptions, but I have more confidence in them than some secularists looking to troll decent Christians, lol.

On the Appearance of Jesus Christ

Now let me humbly present to you the description of the Roman Publius Lentulus, who wrote the following in a letter to the Roman Senate:

In those days there appeared a young man, who is still living, a youth that has great power and whose name is Jesus Christ. The populace calls Him a strong prophet and His disciples call Him, Son of God. He raised the dead to life; and cures the sick of every type of disease. The youth is tall but well proportioned. The countenance of His face is both serious and active, so that those who look at Him love Him, and yet in another ways, they are afraid of Him. The hair on His head is the color of wine down to the beginning of His ears, lacking brilliance. It is smooth from the beginning of His ears to His shoulders, then twisted and brilliant from the shoulders down, where it hangs divided according to the customs of the Nazarenes. His forehead is smooth and clean, His face without blemish decorated with a light pink color. His appearance is polite and joyful, His nose and mouth are altogether blameless. His beard is thick being of the same color of His hair, and is also divided in two, while His eyes are blue and filled with extreme brilliance. When He scolds He is fearful; when He teaches and advises, He is attractive and beloved. Wonder is the grace of His face and dignified. Not once was He seen laughing, but He was often seen crying. According to the height of His body, His hands being very straight and His arms graceful, and according to His generation, He is the nicest of all men.

Now let me humbly share with you what St. Nicodemos the Hagiorite (1749-1809), in "A Handbook of Spiritual Counsel of Western Spirituality Proper Delights of the Mind", addresses the great delight of envisioning the physical appearance of Christ.

Think of those most pure eyes of Jesus, so calm, so sweet; the straightness of His nose; the somewhat chestnut-colored and at the same time golden hair and beard of His; His great and joyous forehead; the blended color of His calm and royal face; His fine long fingers and his perfectly shaped hands; His moderate stature, and simply all of the other symmetry and grace, which shone in all His members. Jesus was so beautiful that, as Lentulus (Lantoulos), that officer who had seen the Lord with his own eyes in Jerusalem, wrote to the senate in Rome, there has never appeared on earth another person more beautiful than Jesus. Foreseeing this beauty, prophet David wrote: "You are the most beautiful of the sons of men" (Psalm 45:2). Aquila rendered this line, "You are adorned with beauty by the sons of men." Symnmachus rendered it, "Among the sons of men You are good in beauty." The bride in the Song speaks lovingly to Him: "Behold, You are beautiful, my beloved, truly lovely (Song 1:16). This is why the people could not be satisfied when looking upon Him, nor did they want to take their attention away from Him.​

Can you hit 9 home runs in your first batting practice?

Besides, what does that have to do with his current employment other than I was correct?

He was a Jew. They are not the same as Arabs. Sara was blonde. The mother of the Arabs was EGYPTIAN.

Israelites and Ishmaelites both have Abraham (white) as their father, but they have different mothers (Egyptian, and Sara being much more European in features).

Jews and Arabs are both Semites. They are very closely related,

He'll be out of baseball before the first game in New York. That or stuck in some instructional league nobody has ever heard of.

Already been explained.

Real Jews (not mixed with Arab) are basically European. Arabs have 'darker' roots (though still considered white)
