Hi,
Well Jesus was born a Jew and presuming Jews have not changed so much over the last two millennium his skin would be the same colour as Jews today. It might be thought that Jewish skin tone has lightened somewhat due to interbreeding with Europeans so perhaps his skin colour was a little more olive? More than that we cannot know

It isn't important what color he is. Jesus was never physically described in the bible. So it gives him a certain universality as far as our personal view of how he may have looked.
But being a reader of the ancient books as the bible says he was, he had a much better handle on the language he used than you do yours.
No sentence structure and you can't spell. Combined, you don't sound too smart.
C O L O R....This is 2nd grade stuff we are talking about.

First off use your spell check! Jesus was a Jewish person so he had the hair and skin colors of that race of people he only became a white guy to appease the white majority of northern Europe's Cristin populations. As I see it Jesus is any race you want so long as you worship his father....

Since Jesus was born and lived in the middle east, I would have to imagine that he was brown with dark hair and eyes. The popular western image of Jesus was merely adopted to make the white christians and catholics feel more comfortable with their messiah.

Well, he was of Jewish decent, so, He probably had a mid-ranged, tanned, skin tone. But, in all honesty, what color his skin was makes no difference one way or the other, since, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." - Galatians 3:28

Well Jesus was Jewish. And if you look at the Jewish race typically they are white. He did grow up in the middle east but it was not the middle east we are used to. It is possible He had darker skin but most Jews do not.

Well, we don't even know if Jesus existed. There is little we know about his life outside of the fairytale told in the Bible. However, if he did exist in that area, he was probably Middle Eastern.

They'll paint him any colour to get people to identify with the myth, once theyve been hooked people can learn the truth but it won't touch them because they have already been infected with the Christian mind-virus and as we can see here on YA any day it seriously by-passes the faculty of reason as one of it's effects.

Jesus was/is Jewish...so I imagine he would have light brown skin...sort of tan like the original Jewish people from Israel.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, Isreal. His skin tone would reflect that.
