Here’s Moses.
Aaron (in white).
And here’s Abraham.
All of the prophets have been depicted in some way or another. You just have to look.
Wasn’t Jesus, according to many Churches’ doctrine, conceived by God without the intervention of Joseph?
If that’s the case, Jesus would be at best half-Jewish and half… Heavenite? Divine?
I’m pretty sure God’s genes are also all dominant, so Mary’s contribution must’ve been pretty minimal at best.
For all we know, blond-haired, blue-eyed ‘Scandinavian’ Jesus might have been accurate.
Then again, that surely woul’ve rated a mention somewhere in the Gospels. Is there any description of Jesus anywhere in the Bible?

Jewishness is reckoned through the mother’s line. So regardless of God’s religion, Jesus was a Jew.

Unless you consider him among the Cohanim. In which case it is back to Daddy.

That would be complicated. Would that mean that Joseph could trace his lineage back to Aaron, or that God could?

Jesus was most definitely a dark skinned, bearded man that looked much more like an Arab than an Anglo-Saxon.[/quote]
First off, I don’t call you a fuckwad because you post the photo of an Arab as your representation of what Jesus looked like. I call you a fuckwad - and you are - because the Arab you use is Osama Bin Laden. Cut the shit and stop acting like you DID NOT do that for your own inane reasons.
Second, Jesus was an ethnic Jew. He was not an Arab. While he would have a had many of the characteristics of some Arabs by virtue of his ancestors living in that region, he would have retained many of his ethnic traits.
I think the redering in the article is probably very close. The Bin Laden thing was done for your reasons.
Hack,
Jews and Arabs are very closely related. The old pictures of Jesus depict him always with a long narrow nose, big, warm eyes and large forehead. Osama is a perfect match, although he looks too cheerful (Jesus has always this morose look, perhaps because he knows that most of his followers are fuckwads?).

Wow. So much of what you said here is so totally wrong that it doesn’t make much sense to discuss it further.

Without entering into the choice of picture, Schwarzfahrer is right in pointing out the genetical match between present day Palestinians and Jew, particularly some groups of Jews (Cohanim). This isn’t really surprising as it is much more common to change religion than for a whole people to move. If you discount the cases of genocide, which despite human nature is not that common, change of allegiance is the usual reaction.
As the Roman crushing of the three Jewish revolts were not genocides, just common or garden mass murder, most of the inhabitants of the then Palestine probably took cover and moved back under other guises, while many others went into exile. No big deal, if it hadn’t led to the present “I came here before you” contest. One thing we can be sure of is that neither group were at that time related to the Arabs of the peninsula.

You responded to the wrong post.
I did not post nor did I insinuate that Jesus resembled a Yemenite. Nor did I call you a F wad.
You should have addressed Schwarzfahrer with that response instead.
Your bad.

I’m pretty sure God’s genes are also all dominant, so Mary’s contribution must’ve been pretty minimal at best.
For all we know, blond-haired, blue-eyed ‘Scandinavian’ Jesus might have been accurate.

I’m pretty sure the Bible says he looked like everyone else in that time and place. He was unremarkable in every way, physically speaking.
That picture looks like Tommy Chong.

What are you implying here, Pook? That God is white?

Why start a thread about what Jesus looked like then?
Why not start one about his teachings instead? And I don’t mean another bullshit my-beliefs-are-better-than-yours thread; I mean one discussing the philosophy and ideas behind his message.

First of all, my beliefs are better than yours:)
The issue is that mainstream White America needs Jesus to look White, which is sad.
I truly believe that many White “Christians” would have a difficult time with the concept of their God being Black or dark skinned. But if we could get some accurate renderings of how He actually looked it might help to break down some racial barriers. After all, it would be difficult to hate Blacks if you know that the one you believe in as God is Black.
