He's saying don't believe what you see on all the pictures and television shows. If it's not so important about his race or his color.....then why don't they use the description in the bible....which is the written truth right?

Why is that so important, he died to save everyone from sin and eternal death. He was from Jersusalem and he was jewish. The jews existed before Jesus came to earth the first time and they are still around now, so a deductive reasoning would be that he was like one of those middle eastern jews. In any case though I don't think that should change the fact that he is real because he couldn't come and be all of the races at once - now that would be more harder for an aethist to swallow, he represented man and that's what is important.

HI this is easy to answer its the same reason there is such a diverse amount of religions on earth . Each ethnic group on a inner level would only be able to accept god and Jesus in an image of there own culture,that's why there are so many conflicting ideas about Jesus skin color, They are all true example a missionary in Brazil visits a tribe of people that have been cut off from modern society and trys to introduce Christianity and Jesus while the white missionary will have a personal view of Jesus as white the tribe would see him as there colored skin because that way they could relate better to him.

Well, most groups of people will make their deities conform to their self image. That is part of human nature. However, given the geographical location where Jesus of Nazareth lived he would have had dark olive skin, black hair and a dark eye shade like brown or black.

His physical description is not in the bible because its not important. Obviously, He looked like a normal Jewish man of His time, if He'd looked different, it would have been noted.

I personally don't care what Christ looks like, what's important is what Jesus did for us on that cross!
There is no greater love than this than when a friend lays His life down for a friend.

your name is funny haha. If you are meaning the complications in life? Well I know where I stand and I can rest in that. People will argue religion, what the verses say, this, that, the other but it all boils down to our own relationship with God. Other's shouldn't be telling you what to do ahem religion. God will.

Because we are human. And humans are weak; wether we like it or not. Instead of finding out what is true. We would rather go with the norm to fit in.

Like most biblical stories they alter and change throughout time. Surely its what he done with his time on the earth that matters rather than what or where he came from.

I'd say that the complexion of Christ when He was on this earth is one of lower importance than that He died for you and me.
