somewhere in the bible it's written that jews where people with a burned skin literally which means black. l will be doing a research on this topic and this is the start of it. hope to get some good response.

Answer 1

of all the things that shouldn't matter....

Answer 2

Jesus has always been historically portrayed to resemble the populace worshipping him. This would be why there are so many images of a white Jesus. For your research look at the xenophobia that ran rampant after the fall of the Roman Empire. Anything not white, or not christian, was inferior. With teachings like that, what else could Jesus be?

For a true historical view remember Jesus was born a Jew, raised a Jew, lived and died as a Jew. Populations rarely interbred at that time so your best example would be to look at modern day Judea and see how the people look now. Try an Israeli Jew for the general structure.

As for fashion, the Romans concerned themselves with hair quite a bit. Close cropped hair cuts, with the body hair removed. They referred to those that didn't as Barbarians (Look up etymology of Barber). Likely the Jewish population maintained a look more similar to what you would see sported by Orthodox and Hasidic Jews (Without the modern accoutrements).

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

before each little thing, you've some historic inaccuracies. Jesus became not born in Palestine. this is like affirming Pocahontas became born contained in the united states. on the time, the area became stated as Judaea through the Romans, from the Hebrew "Y'hudah' meaning "Judah." The time period "Jew" derives from this be conscious. on the time, Jews were the ethnic and non secular majority contained in the area, and there have been infrequently or no Arabs, and Islam, did not exist. Arabs did not invade the land till 636 CE (six hundred years after Jesus died.) even as the Romans kicked out most of the Jews and destroyed their temple when they rebelled, they renamed the land Palestine after the Jew's maximum excellent enemy, the Philistines. Jews are really diverse from Arabians (human beings from what's now Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Oman, who've an excellent type of African ancestry) or perhaps back then probably appeared as diverse from arabians as Greeks do from Germans. Judging from the genetic makeup of modern-day-day Jews, as well as Palestinians and Lebanese, the Israelites/Judeans (including jesus) were probably similar bodily to different Mediterranean communities with whom they'd maintained ties for 1000's of years- Anatolians, Syrians, Greeks, to a lesser volume Italians and North Africans. Many modern-day Jews, and Palestinians and different Levantines are actual really honest skinned with gentle eyes and hair. it really is available that Jesus became gentle haired and eye, yet it is not likely. He very nearly genuinely had brown or black hair, probably brown, hazel, or eco-friendly eyes, and epidermis starting from the honest olive tone of a few Italians and Greeks to a extra tan or gentle brown colour. human beings contained in the middle East probably seem darker than they did 1000's of years in the past via Arab and African impact. in any case, the visual charm of Jesus became beside the point. No modern-day concept as race existed back them, and so Jesus probably seen himself only a Jew/Hebrew.

as what we had discussed in school, my teacher told me that Jesus Christ skin was that of a mestizo. mmm, you know, not too white and not too black. maybe, his skin was just like those of the Israelis today.

Answer 5

Since Jesus was Jewish he was most likely to be the meztiso color the Israiltes are today. Why does it matter as long as you know he loves you.

Answer 6

He was undoubdtedly dark-skinned, but not necessarily black.
(But keep a lid on it--most white people don't know that)
