What is the classification of Jesus?

Question

If there is white, african american, hispanic, american indian, asian... and so on...

Jesus was born of a jew with God. Therefore what is Jesus?
What race is God? Could he be consider a Mestizo?

it occur to me that Jesus migth have been the most egocentric Jew to date. All the other Jews are mad at him because he did not leave any space for anyone else to be called the son of God. So therefore they choose not to believe in him as the son of God. I think that he was accordinly to today's classification of people in the US. an "out of this world" (GOD) "selfcentered" (Believed on himself) "jew" (because his mother was a jew)!

Answer 1

interesting idea.

let's go with "mixed Jewish."

Answer 2

Not sure about Race, as it is not documented.

Jesus' parents were Jews until the immaculate conception at which point they became Christians.

Jesus was the first born Christian. The difference between the two is that a Jew soes not believe that Jesus is the son of God. Since Mary believed that her child was the son of God, that makes her a Christian and not a JEw.

At any rate, I am an Athist and firmly believe, that Mary got knocked up and wasn;t married and did not want to admit it. Noone believed her and she was exiled to have her kid in a stable.

Answer 3

The story goes , Jesus was of middle eastern decentI wouldn't call him arab but something close to that. Of course he was hebrew.. I don't believe that Jesus is anyone important beyond a good fictional character that created a way to control people in the middle ages. Think of where the story took place, near jeruselum, therefore he would be palistinian today.

Answer 4

Jesus was Jewish. As Christianity spead, the image of Jesus changed. In Europe, he became white, In the Central Ameraca's he became darker-skined and in Ethiopia he bacame black. As the religion moved those converted to Christianity thought of him as what they knew (which was the local peoples appearence).

Barring all the changes in appearence, he probably looked more like the average mid-eastern man in reality.

So really, Jesus isn't just one race, he's all races.

Answer 5

Well Jesus was a Jew, and not a slave..And most Jews were white back then so Jesus was most likely white..And if Jesus is white, his father (God), is white

Answer 6

Jesus was middle eastern. There is no knowing with absolute certainty exactly what shade his skin was, but it was mostly likely either brown (middle eastern descent) or black (african descent). The chances that he was white are slim to none, based on historical assessment of the area where he is said to have been born.

Answer 7

Jesus was a Nazarene. Nazarenes were a sect of early Christians of Jewish origin who kept many of the Jewish observances. He probably would have had darker skin because of the climate, but people in that area keep their bodies pretty well covered because of the heat and sun.

Answer 8

Jesus was not white and hes a jew

Answer 9

It depends on who you ask. If you ask a white person (i.e. - Mr. "White American"), he is white. If you ask an African American, he is African American, and so on.

But geographically speaking, he would have been either Black/dark hair and very tanned or black hair and very dark skinned.

Does it really matter?? I mean, believing is what faith is all about, not the color of his skin or his ethnic background. If anyone thinks that is all it is, they are very shallow. . .

Answer 10

Jesus was from Jerusalaem in the middle East, so therefore he was dark skinned. There was actually a program on discovery channel about what he would have looked like, you can see what they think he looked like here - http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20041220/boyjesus_zoom1.html

Answer 11

His race is GOD he is the CREATOR. BTW there is only one Race Created by God and that is the HUMAN race all those other things were created by man to cause division and confusion. Stop worrying about those things and start loving all your brothers and sisters as God told us to do.
