Yeah, but this description isn't global. It's regional. And even smaller than that. But the IMAGE of a white jesus is definitely global.

Tell that to the church...

blah, I have no respect for the Catholic church, lots of things people that claim to be Christian and Catholic believe are because the Catholic church changed things around to fit their purposes...a lot of the "religious" holidays we observe are based on pagan rituals...in fact, the time we celebrate Christmas is based on a pagan God ritual...even the days of the week were named after pagan Gods ROFLMAO...therefore, screw the Catholic church and their "we don't know but we do it anyway" sheep

If they lied about what he looked like, what makes you tihnk they're being 100% truthful about Jesus as a whole. They don't even have you using his real name.

As a matter of fact, there's more than one "Jesus" in the bible. This is a man that people felt would save the world, he had COUNTLESS followers, not to mention decievers (like Paul) who emulated him in every possibly way. The only problem with this is that, the Bible carrys out the acts of these people as if they were the original yashua when they are not.


The bible rocks!

Back when Jesus was around, he also thought that the world was going to end within his lifetime... But the church doesent teach those kind of things, because they want him to come off as being perfect and flawless......

Just like God. So they don't highlight the fact that this perfect and eternal entity needed rest.

Just like they don't (directly) tell you the formative years of Jesus life. Only after he came back into scociety with these abilities. Did you know Jesus was taught these skills, you know, walking on water, water to wine, reviving the dead etc all from one person whom he trained with for years?


Did you know he wasn't the only one?

Not to mention Jesus wasnt a mesiah...

The term mesiah refers to a holy military leader... Jesus was a wandering prophet......

"Christ" is also a title, meaning "savior", not a last name. "Jesus" is a word that comes from Ja, the god of rastafarianism and other religions, and Zeus, the god of greek MYTHology. "Jazeus" became "Jesus" and to this day people think his nme is "Jesus" "Christ". Two names and a title. Neither if which his own name or title.

BTW, by definition Yashua denounced anything to do with christianity. He instructed others not to follow him and that he follows god as they should. "Christianity" and "Christmas" as concepts would be highly disrespectful. To name a religion after him and celebrate his day of birth on a day, month, or even season that he wasn't born on or in is disgraceful in his eyes and puts others (if even himself) in the light of his father "God".

But, I know what you're getting at. Imma find the picture "POPULAR SCIENCE" magazine generated to depict what Jesus would have looked like.

Based on the time and region in which he lived, Jesus would have:

#1...been Short...probably under 5'9"...So, he would have been unassuming at best.

#2...Medium to brown skin...He was arab...And, that region was in the middle of the desert. So, even if Jesus was initially fair skinned, he wouldn't have been by the time of his death. In other words, Jesus was not lilly white because he wasn't European.

#3...Had a beard...it was customary for Hebrew men to have beards...He would have had a beard


#4...a short hair cut...It was NOT JEWISH custom for men to have long flowing hair. So, this European depiction of Jesus is bogus.


#5...been Built...Jesus would not have been a skinny guy. He was a carpenter and would have had muscles. So, this frail thin depiction of Jesus is bogus.


#6...been relatively unattractive...He was a common man, living a commoners life...His face would have been weathered from being out in the elements so much. He would also have brown eyes and brown hair.



IN other words, you would not be able to tell that Jesus was "JESUS" by looking at him. That's the reason Judas had to point him out when the Roman Centurions came to arrest him. He didn't stand out from the crowd at all, exactly the way he wanted it.

That's not scriptural. If you choose to not believe what's written in the bible, fine. But, don't throw out bogus statements like it's written in the text of the accounts of Jesus' life and ministry. Jesus was not just a prophet. THe whole point of the Christian faith is that Jesus is the son of the living God, our savior. If you don't believe that, you don't believe it. But, don't attempt to cross wires here. What you're saying is in a spirit of error. It isn't Christianity and should not be confused with it. Start your own religion and leave Christianity alone if you choose.

yeah i have heard about that aswell, i honestly dont follow religion, its impossible to tell whats true, when you compare the old testiment to the new, so much stuff gets re-worded and changed around its un-real, but apparently there is a place you can go and see the very original bible(the first one ever written), i cant remember where, and how true that is i honestly cant say.

but id be willing to bet money that if thats true, you could compare that to the more recent testiments of the bible that most of the stuff would be completely different.

but also whats really annoying, is the fact that they say god beleives in freedome of choice, and all that stuff, and then around the city you will get people standing there screaming and shouting sections of the bible and then telling you why you SHOULD turn to god, as if its something you have got to do to get into heaven. that in my eyes is trying to force us into religion, and religion has allways been put forth as a choice.

i contemplated a few times about choosing the path of religion, but with so many things not making sense, and looking a pack of lie's, it makes it hard to beleive ANYTHING that is said through religion.
