I dont think this topic has been discussed at all on this board. it should stir up some interesting debates tho.
-
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.
-
its been discussed time and time again... jesus was a arab wasnt he ?.... well he'll always be a guinea to me
-
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.

Here's a "A hypothetical reconstruction of someone from the same time and place of Jesus, created by forensic artist Richard Neave."

Yeah, they had a big television show about that. Looks about right to me.
-
Jesus wasn't white because it was nearly impossible for someone in the Mid East to be pale at that time.

He was Jewish. He had Jewish characteristics. If you look at the early portraits of him, they show a darker skin man with brown hair.
-
Wasn't he described as having "bronze" skin and curly hair...?

Yeah, the modern day Jesus was born in Ohio, Akron, Ohio to be exact. I got his pic in my signature.

whats the matter anyway? we all come from africa from what i know so...
i guess he had a dark skin with all this sun in this region but if u suggest he looked darker or at the same level than an ''official'' black dude from central africa ...i don't think so
-
i think this is a very important topic. i've grown up my whole life thinking that christ was white, or at least didnt question ne1 about it. this has a significant value to our society, especially in America. this shows how even a holy prophet could be used to manipulate and deceive ppl into believing that what some refer to as the son of god, as a white man, thus coming to a conclusion that god is also white, meaning that white's are superior to other ethnicities. you mite not think that this is the way people think, but deep down it has some psychological effect on a person.
personally, i believe that if christ was shown as his true skin color, it would have significant effects.

:sign_werd: Although I think in the end as long as people are taught the truth about what is known about him ie. not letting our kids think he was automatically white, then it is irrelevent.

I don't think Jesus existed. Hypothetically, he would look like any other Jewish person who was subjected to the same amount of sunlight per day.

Hell fucking no Jesus wasn't white. The euros way back in the day painted that nigga white because it makes the manipulation of other euros/white folk much easier. If I need a bunch of ignorant motherfuckers to follow me, I gotta appeal to their prejudice and insecurities. They're not gonna believe that some dark skinned fool is this super magical dude that hangs out invisibly in the sky controlling their every move. Come on, how believable would THAT be? Paint his ass white!

Don't generalize all euros. The Greek Orthodox Church which was the first official church never showed him as the white Jesus like the Catholic church decided to later on.

He looks very arab looking and that's how he is shown even today in the Church across the street from me where I attend.

Yoshua Ben Yosef was a dark Middle Eastern dude. If you don't know who Yoshua Ben Yosef, I'll give you a hint he ain't white, he ain't from America, let alone Ohio, and he could be mistaken for a terrorist if you saw him today. But at the same time, his teachings are the most important teachings to American culture.
Now, Lebron ain't the modern Jesus, dogg, he ain't even better than San Bernardino's best basketball player. Look at my man dunk on Shaq.

Tulsa Oklahoma. And it's official as hell. Her grandparents have been in the states for 35 years and still barely speak a lick of english, and this is the church they attend. And I've def seen the exact pic you posted as well. But I've seen many images of Jesus with the likeness of a white man as well.
I'm sure if you were in Greece, it'd probably be a darker skinned rendering. The fact that I've seen a light skinned version in the US only proves my point that religion manipulates many things to pander to the particular audience they are serving.

Is this the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church?
Either way, using an example from the American South is hardly proper reprsentation. Here in Canada the pictures are as I have shown, and every where else I've been; the same.

Don't tell me this isn't a proper representation because it's in Oklahoma. It's me and a family of black folks that aren't fluent in Greek in the whole church.

I believe he was dark skinned. Doesn't the Bible says something about him having olive skin and hair like wool?

I'm just fucking with CWalker... ;) Like in my Sig, and of course calling Jesus by his REAL name. They even call him Yoshua in the Passion of the Christ. No one caught it though, 'cause they were not listening to the words 'cause it wasn't English.

I'm not sure but don't most protestant movement churches (the majority of the US Christians) refrain from using any pictures of Jesus? I'm just asking. I'm not sure.

well jesus was able to hide in egypt for a while for him to integrate with the egyptian people he had to be dark skinned.
-
egyptians are the same color as middle east people. the northern africa is mostly arab
-
it wasn't back in the days. egyptians nowadays are still a lil bit darker than other arabs
-
judging by the hieroglyphs they left in the pyramids they were not black
-
not black dark skinned .egyptians were a black race ,they got mixed with semitic people ,greeks and roman.by te time of jesus they would have been brown
(http://www.aldokkan.com/egypt/menes.jpg) thats menes he started egypt tell me he aint black

When Egypt was conquered by Nubia and had it's Kushite Dynasty the elite were black but before or after that it is still in question. I think a large part had to look arab because you don't see the black in them like you do the south africans who have been mixed over the years. For Egypt to go from all back to all arab there would have had to be an organized mixing, or law that kept black egyptians from procreating with other blacks. I'd think if an all black power house like Egypt had existed then you'd see a lot of blacks (the majority) still there.
-
^ from them to go from black to arab, there must have been more than just mixing. blacks and jews were the slaves in ancient egypt.
-
first off today the bottom half of egypt are black arab ,when egypt started it was 100 % black,but with trade and 3000 years of mixing due to the nvasions from the libyans ,hebrews ,arab bediouns ,greeks,romans,persian .most egyptians today are still dark skined
-
according to the Family Guy episode i saw last nite, Jesus is Chinese and his last name i think is Hong
-
he was dark skinned and probably had nappy hair but wasnt black wtf 3 pages?

You say this like it's a fact. Most Egyptologists still debate the issue. No one is saying they were white. The were most likely a mix of African and South West Asian. The theory is that thousands of years ago the prehistoric South Western Asians moved to Northern Africa and intermixed with the prehistoric Africans and by 6000 BC an culture and civilization had started up. The race isn't arab or black arab. It's simply Egyptian, Like in Turkey the name of the race is Turk, and how in Thailand they are Thai. Even though they look like Chinese people somewhat they are considered different and not just because of culture. They are of a different race. Just like Greeks and Germans are of a different race. To an American they see German and Greek and they say white people, but that is wrong.
