Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

Cuz people native to Israel never had white skin.. ever.. in history. Your ignorant Why would it matter if Jesus was Darker skinned anyway?

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

How do you know that Jesus didn't have lighter skin just like every other person born in Israel?

And how do you know that Jesus did have lighter skin than everyone else born in Israel?

Here here is very good evidence of what a 1st century Irsrelite would look like in appearance. ie. What Jesus would look like in appearance.

That's not evidence. That's just one artist's clay sculpture.

I can say the same thing.

Oh look, I know what Jesus looked like! I found a clay sculpture!

Uh, yeah, about that: did you happen to read the first two sentences of your reference? Here, I'll repeat them:

What Did Jesus Look Like?
The answer, of course, is that we don’t know...

So, if you have anything that resembles actual proof, please present it. Otherwise, making solid claims based on someone else's speculation and interpolation just makes you look a foolish simpleton.

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

I highly doubt God would send Himself (as His son) to Earth as a darkie. God would want people to trust Jesus/Himself, so He would have made Him (and Himself) with radiant flawless white skin and glowing blond hair.

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

Actually they say they don't know what Jesus himself looked like. But they do know what "1st century Israelites looked like" That is a accurate computer generated model. Yet has still provided more proof than you But features such as skin tone eye color and hair color are on par with what Jesus himself would have had. This is a factual source and still none of you have explained why its bad that Jesus had darker skin.

I guess you didn't read my post. ^^^^up there^^^^

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

No, I ignored your post because it has no reason or fact in it and thus does not deserve a response. I know "darkies" that will are better men than you will ever be, Jesus is included as one of them. Doesn't it just rip at your insides knowing that Jesus is the color of a person you consider inferior to yourself? that must put a bruise on your ego.

Yet here you are, responding to it. Contradiction seems to be a common theme to those who believe in Atheism.

That is correct. Bible on the other hand says that God is white. Do you have some sort of problem with Him being white? Are you racist?

[Ben Gay Pax]

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

Can you tell me where it says God is White. The words 'shining' 'light' and 'glorious' do not count nor do any descriptions of his clothes count. Also i responded to the fact that he had no proof. And still none of you have explained why it is wrong that Jesus was darker skinned. There's nothing wrong with a persons skin being darker. Jesus taught loving thy neighbor not racism or supremacy.
Romans 12:3 "For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith."

Jesus does not approve or look kindly upon your behavior and actions against me, a Catholic, Jews, blacks, Irishmen, or any other person you have so arrogantly mocked.
Matthew 25:40, "And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’"

Dare you question Jesus' own words when they are place in front of you?

[Didymus Much]

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

Actually they say they don't know what Jesus himself looked like...

And, based on them saying they DON'T KNOW, you then claim that YOU KNOW:

...features such as skin tone eye color and hair color are on par with what Jesus himself would have had...

...This is a factual source...

That says it's SPECULATION.

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

Ben, while I find any other church liberal besides Landover, this ministry wrote a compelling argument on the subject. Here. Some excerpts.

Have you ever looked at a picture or painting of a black Jesus and thought to yourself, “This just doesn’t feel right?” You ask yourself, “Is the painter joking? Is he making fun of Jesus?” The answer is yes, the artist is being sarcastic and that artist is surely burning in hell’s fire as I type this

The well written article goes on to add, what you stupidly overlooked:

God is white. God has always been white. Every depiction, every description and every painting I have seen of God has been white. God impregnated Mary, NOT Joseph. Therefor, Jesus is white. That is what drew people to Him in the first place. A white skinned man in the Middle East 2000 years ago was surely a miracle and Jesus was and is a miracle worker.

Re: Proof that Jesus is WHITE!

Where in the Bible did it say God was white? You have one task to tell me this. Just one do it and stop waving that red herring in front of my face.
