Was Jesus Christ Light or Dark Skinned?

h cottie is bac-tive?:
I dont think this topic has been discussed at all on this board. it should stir up some interesting debates tho.

coola:
i dont think his skin colour makes a difference.

Jesus has been painted dark in complexion alot, since in Czestochowa (a holy place in Poland, many people have been cured of disease/illness) the world famous painting of Mary and Jesus stained itself black one night, the stain was irremovable or something... they left it since and many of the same painting have been re-drawn with the darker complexion...

also i think back in the days it would be very difficult for a man living in poverty to have pale skin.

neither was he as white as painted nor was he black. how hard is it to understand that he probably just looked like ppl in his area looked like at that time? rappers always claiming he was as black as they are is ignorant, narcistic, little bit racist and disrespectful. Im quite sure he looked pretty  similiar to those ppl in this area, skin tone of a terrorist you could say, so hicks get an idea.

herpes:
its been discussed time and time again... jesus was a arab wasnt he ?.... well he'll always be a guinea to me

Trauma-san:
I think Jesus was dark skinned, most jews around that area were (and some still are). 

The popular image of Jesus is a likeness of one of the Pope's sons.  To me it doesn't really matter how people paint him, whatever makes them comfortable... but I doubt any of the paintings accurately reflect the glow and wisdom he possed, even if you don't believe he's the son of god he apparently was a very intelligent and thoughtful man.
