How do we even know that jesus wasnt a black man?

Answer 1

HE was Jewish. Jewish people arent black.

But, it doesnt matter "what color" HIS skin was, it was the MESSAGE that was important...

HE was the SON of GOD and HE was here to die for our Sins!! Repent Ye and be Baptised in the Name of the FATHER, SON, and Holy Spirit...

I wish you well..

Jesse

Answer 2

He could be one, but there is no evidence as to what he looked like.

But about Muhammad, it is said, he was black in complexion. Where as , Gibbon, writing in 1280s was of the opinion that Muhammad was one of the most handsome men of his time.

With regard to Jesus, had the first painter been a blackman, he would have portrayed Jesus as a black man.

Answer 3

We don't.

He was Jewish and while many people put that down to middle-eastern looking, we must remember that Jews, by right, are of mixed descent. As long as you obey the Jewish law, by right, you're Jewish.

HOWEVER, from the bible, we do know that he is a direct descendant of David and of the family of Levi. Also Isaiah prophesied that he wouldn't be something people would normally notice so the classic European portraits of a handsome looking tall man with brown hair and blue eyes is probably far from being accurate.

Still, only God knows. Why don't you ask Him?

Answer 4

When paintings of Jesus were being done in medieval times it wouldn't have been a very good idea to depict him as a man from the middle-east!!
Burned alive would've been your fate.
The fair skinned/blue eyed notion of Jesus is no doubt a false one but the idea is so ingrained that when you think Jesus-you see the western representation of him.

Answer 5

Its not about race. The most important thing you need to know is that 'Jesus' is a replica.

'Horus', 'Mithras', 'Dionysus' and 'Tammuz' (there are more than this).
They are all very similar to the Jesus story.
All born to virgins, all were capable of producing miracles. Too many similarities to mention.

Answer 6

There are back Jews in Ethiopia. It would certainly make sense. They crucified him because he was a popular black man. He even had a 'ho- Mary Madeline. You know, any black man who could change water into wine would be invited to all the parties.

Answer 7

Jesus might have had sun burn. but he wasn't from a Black heritage.

- Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod....... Matthew 2:1

Answer 8

He was not Jewish but Aramaic, a race and language originating in Ethiopia,people with a very dark skin tone,On old Roman coins He is depicted as very dark with Afro hair.Mary was descended from the Queen of Sheba who was black.

Answer 9

Virgin Birth - Was it a preconceived notion?

What is the Imacculate Conception?

An Imacculate Deception?

Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?

Jesus? Christianity? .

If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.

Gods do not die? Do they?

If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?

If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.

If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!

Answer 10

Jesus was from the middle east he had a medium complexion. light brown to darker shades He was out in the open alot so being tanned i would say he was darker brown.
To say black as in Ethiopian, no, they are a whole different race of people. The bible tell us he was Jewish, from the tribe of Judah.

Answer 11

We don't, however, I do not think we should be getting caught up in his color or what race he was. He came to save everyone, He did not come just for one set of people, but all. To get caught up in the wrong things are just a distraction from what jesus taught and who he is.
