Thanks. I hate that "please go to Funnyjunk" BS.

Anyway, Yes, Jesus was a Jew. A dark, middle-eastern Jew. Not white, nor black:

[JimmiesForBitcoins]

He's missing a large beard-stache and a large nose. Pretty sure he would be a little lighter than that. Also, pretty sure he'd be uglier than that. Probably not very tall either.

What struck me as interesting is how the Bible has been commonly used throughout history as a propaganda tool.  If there was a Korean sect of Christianity, I wonder if there would be a Korean Jesus.



Hrmm...

Considering there's no hard evidence of Jesus existing at all further troubles the matter.  If Jesus existed, however, it's double silly to say he was white, and yet every American incarnation of Jesus has him as a european with a scraggly beard.  How peculiar.  Would a Christian still be cool with the war knowing (assuming the Christian is an American) that their military is blowing up Jesus's ancestors to smithereens?  Dat irony.

Jews are white, why Jesus (a jew) wouldn't be white?

White as a Nord for sure not, white as a greek? Why not? South Europeans are white, though some of them have darker skin.

Makes sense, but who believes in the bible anymore?

Jews are white, why Jesus (a jew) wouldn't be white?

European Jews are white. Because they've lived in, and intermarried with the people of, Europe for centuries.

African Jews are black.


That doesn't mean Jesus was black. Jesus was a middle-eastern Jew, and so would look middle-eastern.

Sunday schools must have had quite an impact on you Americans.

Even these jews are pretty white.

It includes jews and arabs, not blacks.

Even still, Jesus would not have been the european guy the renaissance painted him as and every european follower accepted as cold hard fact.  Considering he was out in the sun all day, it'd be a miracle () if he wasn't dark.

Just offering a different perspective, I could care less how Jesus looked like. There are no facts about his looks except he was a jew.

Was he a light skinned jew or a dark skinned - nobody knows.

Well, we can make an educated guess:
He lived on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.
He lived and worked in the sun.

The people who do that now look pretty dark. I see no reason to believe Jesus was any different.

Now let's take a look at jews' cousins:

All of these ethnicities are pretty white to me. And these Mizrahim jews and Assyrians didn't mix with Germanics/Slavics like Ashkenazi

Of course he wouldn't look like an Aryan.

Which is the point of this thread.

[MysteryMiner]

The father of Jesus was God. God is white person. So Jesus had lighter skin color than other jews around him. This is according to legend.

In reality white person is more beautiful and appealing as a son of God and saviour. Imagine how popular would be this person


versus any of these interpretations

[myrkul]

God is white person.

Hmm... Let's see. Genesis (written by Jews) says that man was made in God's image. Logic says God is Semitic, like the people he made.

[MysteryMiner]

At least I'm not made from clay. I'm result of evolution from the early biological organisms who inhabited early earth. It is more amazing than being made from clay as a knockoff of some mysterious guy in sky.

God is white man with beard If You don't believe that You are going to Hell!
