Why in churches is Jesus portrayed as a White-skinned man?

LOL... now that was cleaver. No actually what people think Jesus looks like has a lot to do with what you think about race in you life. I thought Jesus was white for a long time. Therefore, that made white seem closer to God. I was not privilage to know the truth for a long time. I think in a time where we are always looking for the right interpration of the Bible, and are always rewriting it, we should also do the same for Jesus, and how we look at him too, and try to find the truth, not a pipe dream.

UnstoppableForce:
Have you guys ever thought about why Middle Eastern people fall under the White category on applicatiions (college applications for example) ?
Because if they made a seperate category for Middle Eastern people then that would create a difference between Middle Eastern and White people (which there obviously is a difference), and it would establish the fact that Jesus was NOT WHITE. Yes, people, he was Middle Eastern, but the White people in this country don't want that distinction to be made in this case. Only when we go there for oil and phony wars, then there is a difference between us and them. They then become the axis of evil, terrorists, wrong-doers, etc.
Plus, according to some of you, Jesus is a terrorist, since that's some of your guys' perception of Middle Eastern people. LMAO... I can't believe nobody has ever realized that "hey Middle Eastern people don't look white"... people ignore shit like this when the issue is tied to something greater such as Jesus in this case

Just some food for thought :-*

Woodrow:
LOL. What a stupid topic.

I don't care what skin color Jesus had. I'd much rather pay attention to the great things he did that argue about something petty like this.

Don Jacob:
lol there is no scientific fact of what jesus looked like ......all we know is that he was a jew and probably looked like many of the hebrews of his day........and even if he was white he probably looked like Don Johnson or some tanned white dude cuz he was always out in the sun.  But in all honesty Jesus , according to the discovery channel and many scientists they worked with on this one easter special, he would've had a more round head shaggy ass beard and a mad jew fro.......the jesus we see in paintings is painted to be Italian .....but in actuality Jesus probably looked like bob dylan.

Exactly. You can't see him as being different from the people he belonged too.
