What did jesus look like??

Exactly, Arabic dark is not same as African dark. I'm not talking about the color as much as the facial features and contours. For example, Indians can be "black" but once again, the facial features are NOT african. Not everyone who is black is african. Also, NO ONE is black, there ARE no black people.

Black is a charcoal color... devoid of any hue. Therefore, all people are either brown, dark brown, golden brown, yellowish, etc. No one is also WHITE, except maybe albinos...

Therefore, Jesus may have had DARK skin, but he was NOT African, therefore what on Earth would make him have African facial features? Once again, dark-skinned Arabic style look is plausible.

I do wonder, the Jews in Israel are WHITE by most standards. Why would Jesus not look this way exactly?

I think most Jews in Israel look white because of interbreeding with white europians for so many generations. I seriously doubt the oriagnal Jews were that fair skined.

It is YOU who are the racist for denying the truth! YOU burn with the hatred and racism in your eyes! And for you to deny is for you to be a racist and to deny the Son of of God. Read from KrazyJethro!

This is an interesting bit I found.

"Biblical lore: Soon after Jesus was born, Herod is believed to have sent his soldiers to seek and kill
him as an infant. To hide the Christ child, we are told his family fled with him to Egypt but pre-Arab
Egypt was a society of dark-skinned Africans (as evidenced in their own hieroglyphs) and it would be
folly to try hiding an Aryan baby there of all places. The land was referred to as Kemet (the Black land),
for thousands of years, and themselves as "Kemetcu" (the black humans). The "father" of modern
history, Herodotus, himself acknowledged as much when he said "the Egyptians, Colchians and
Ethiopians have thick lips, broad nose, wooly hair and are of burnt skin." Elsewhere, he actually referred
to them as "black”."

Jews in Israel are mostly white because they are from Europe and had lived there for a thousand years or so, so the bloodline is corrupted badly.

Also, about Jesus being black, this is a possibility because present day Israel is not a far cry from where black people lived, and some even lived in the area.

Is it so outragious that Maria could have come from the south, or perhaps her parents? Nothing is known about them or where she came from.

Jesus could even have been relatively white. There are many possibilities.

Ah ok Amuk and Jethro.. thanks. Would be interesting to find out what people from that area looked like 2000 years ago, there should be documents about that somewhere... or pictures of some sort.

Best guess, look for the tax records (of sorts) since jesus was born in Jerusalem because Ceaser said all must be taxed, thus forcing her to make the journey there.

They must have some sort of artifacts to this effect.

Aw come on.. I want polaroids! You're telling me Jesus thought he wasn't photogenic and shied away from having his pic taken?

google image search for "bronze"

any of these look like the same shade as a black persons skin?

Obviously no, but it is possible that he was black. That's the point.

The first second and fourth pics. Nuff said! ANd I'm black, I should know. Next thing ya know, they're gonna start questioning MY blackness.

Your Black????????

Very funny.

FIRST OF ALL ITS WOULD SAY IN THE BIBLE. THEY HAVE A DESCRIPTION OF JESUS IN THE BIBLE

OK what did he look like?

And they described him as black. Its true. Just accept it.

How about I change it then my brother...

That is soo not a cool pic.

I seriously doubt he was blonde. Middle-eastern sounds about right, but I still don't see how it matters to you religious people. The only ones who should care are the researchers looking for historical fact. I'm not so sure most religions are fact.

I believe this picture more than any other I've ever seen.

I think it captures what jesus really was.

Look, how many times do I have to trell yu to read the threads. The reason why it matters is in there. They are based on non-acceptance of the real christ, could the message be "tainted" along with the image, etc.

Not to wonder about this is to be intellectually lazy--which appears to be rampant here.
