He wasn't black, he was Jewish/Middle Eastern

I mean, if you believe in a literal trilogy you could use they/them, or just as a neutral term- however he does specify that he uses he pronouns. (Jesus said, "I am he," John 18:6)

Jesus did rise

You can't get in on faith alone, you must also put work into it. If you are a firm believer, and do a sin worthy of damnation- on purpose, without repenting- you don't get in. Likewise, if you are a genuinely good person but don't believe, you'll still get in, because you followed Christ, even if indirectly

I do want to say that I don't personally believe in hell or anything, but I do consider myself sort of Christian? I also have taken several required religion classes for school. These are just my thoughts tho.

Cool meme! 💜

Hmm, with all due respect, I will have to slightly disagree with a few points. Jesus states clearly in the Bible that He is the only way to heaven. I do not recall Him saying anywhere that "doing good" will get you to heaven "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23) There can be a "genuinely good person" but he/she have sinned at some point in their life. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23) Just that little sin can keep us out of heaven. Yeah, everyone of us, even me, have sinned, which means technically, none of us can get to heaven. But because of God's unconditional love and grace, we were given the gift of salvation, THROUGH CHRIST JESUS. Acts 16:31 also said "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved- you and your household." So I believe that we will not be able to get into heaven just by being good, for we will never ever be able to be good enough. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-" (Ephesians 2:8)
Hope that makes sense, thx for reading all this. Have a nice day 💙

Yes I agree with you the meme was pointing out how silly it was to think Works will save you

Yep! I was responding to @Gummy_Axolotl 's comment "Likewise, if you are a genuinely good person but don't believe, you'll still get in, because you followed Christ, even if indirectly" (just wanted to clarify that)
Still, cool meme :)))

The last one is actually true though, because faith is nothing without effort to be Christlike. If you sin, you must repent. But you’re right on the rest, they’re all false. Jesus is middle eastern/Jewish, he is a male, and he did rise from the dead.

I believe that faith alone saves you but if you are truly saved then the fruit of the spirit will be apparent in your life. The Bible says that we'll know Christians by there fruit but it also says we're saved by grace through faith not by works(Ephesians 2:8-9)
