Jews aren't a race,despite beliefs otherwise. They might have become to look distinctly "Jewish" in some cases because they tend to marry and have kids within their cultural group,like all humans.When you have a smaller group to start with this increases the amount of overlapping genetic information in that group,wich makes it's members look more and more alike, as is the case within the majority of the Jewish population.

Just curious. I went to a church a few months ago for my good friend's funeral and noticed this. I was just thinking about this, why is he portrayed as White skin when it's a documented historical fact Jesus had Brown skin? Just curious, thanks for any help.

Are you seriously this stupid? No one knows what color Jesus skin was. How the hell could we know what someone who lived 2,000 years ago looked like, especially in a region as diverse as the Middle East?

The fact of the matter is that Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God, and for most people it is easier to relate to God if he looks the same way you do. Go to a black church and you will see pictures of a black Jesus, go to a white church and you will see pictures of a white Jesus. Heck....go to a Christian church in Asia and you will see Jesus depicted as being Asian. Even Buddhists in China portray Buddha as Chinese even though he was born in India.

Now I have a question for you, Brother Lincoln. Do you get as upset when you see images of a black Jesus as you do when you see images of a white Jesus? Somehow I doubt it, because you are a racist and everyone knows it. That is why you are a joke and have no credibility on this board.

Documents from the time in which Jesus was born (historical facts) it was said that Jesus had light Brown Skin. Any other way is just historically innacurate.And just so you know, I did not get upset that I saw a picture of a White Jesus, I simply was curious as to why. I don't understand why he would be portrayed as Black or Asian either.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

why he is portrayed as different races has been explained,by c walker i think.

The fact of the matter is that Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God, and for most people it is easier to relate to God if he looks the same way you do.

which makes a lot of sense,to me anyway

There are no documents that exist that state what color Jesus skin was. You are flat out lying.
