During the Crusades, the popes could not portray Jesus as looking similar to the enemy they were fighting, so made him look more European.
Political Propaganda struck again

It is human nature to follow along with the race a person was born into , to think that Jesus would look as they do. He was infact dark complected. But the bible also states that we are not to have images of heaven.
Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
So in reality, the majority of this world who portrays Jesus in any way according to the word of God are infact disobeying His word.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
It does not matter what color Jesus is. what is important is that we all obey His word as best we can, and repent of our sins daily, changing ourselves to become more of what God inteded us to be and less what we started out to be. Placing God';s need before our own. And praise the Lord daily.

Because the early renaissance painters used white guys in beards as models for Jesus. They based their ideas on his looks from old orthodox icons which were fairly primitive or overlain with Caucasian flesh-tone mosaics.

It has to with the actual incontrovertible truth that the well-loved those who painted those pictures concept he would seem as if that. it isn't meant to be racist or hateful of the middle eastern human beings. in truth, no one extremely knows what Christ sounds like. to say that portray him like that's racist and unfounded is moronic and unfounded., and to the fool who reported Christ would seem extra like Bin encumbered than Bush: Bin encumbered wasn't even from the same section as Jesus, infact he's Muslim and Christ replaced into Jewish. do not use your halfwit comments to prommote hate propaganda and politics!

nobody knows what he looked like but the people who drew the pictures were probably in christian europe were they believed the white people were superior to all the other races so they portrayed him as being white.

It is not universal that he is portrayed as caucasian, and it is because the great art of the world comes from Europe and they depicted Him as caucasian.

I saw Jesus just the other day and he has a huge afro and loves white women.

because caucasians were the first to propagate xtianity worldwide, so they portrayed the imaginary god in their image and likeness.
