samson was black????
Enough said......
shareThat had me wondering as well.
Love is never having to say you're sober.
MovieChat Forums > The Bible (2013) Discussion > samson was black????
Doesn't matter that much does it? The bible doesn't even say what his race was but it does mention 'his locks' lol. I wouldn't really bother or worry too much what skin colour is used, just as long as the word of God is told properly.
shareWhen the Ethiopian black Jews were discovered, some rabbis said that they descended from the Tribe of Dan. Samson came from the Tribe of Dan. 2+2=4.
shareSamson was a Hebrew. That a black actor was used does nothing to take away from Samson's story.
shareJesus was white?? Really ? Please focus in something else
share
Well, he probably wasn't white. Probably had the skin color you see arabs and other semites got.

Probably? If there ever was a Jesus figure that truly existed, he undoubtedly would have had bronze/tan skin like those in the Middle East. There is no possibility of him being black or white.
shareJesus is not who the OP was talking about, but Samson.

Ah, I misread. Apologies.
shareI totally agree, Jesus probably had an olive complexion as well.
shareXaro Xhoan Daxo disapproves.
shareA man ruining himself chasing an ugly white woman? Sounds like a black guy to me...
shareIf any of these people existed they would have been either black or brown.
sharei believe all of the israelites were black
sharethen you need to read numbers again. they murmured against moses's wife (ziporah) for being dark skin.
so no im sorry, but unless the bible is lying here, the jews were are & always will be a lighter skin...maybe not pure white. but like an olive tan. but sure as hell not black. why would they be racist against tzipporah hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
of course there are some black jews due to the mixed multitude that tagged along, rahab & ruth marrying into the nation (the bible clearly declares both of them black) & saint paul who's the same color as an ethiopian but he's a mix & not all jew. every nation will have folk of all colors in it but it does not mean that the nation on the whole is that color.
Right. OK. Who fckd with IMDb now? WOW!
