I tried to get my pastor to explain to me why the Bible said that Jesus had hair like lamb's wool & the color of his skin was like he was burnt in the oven. It made me think Jesus was not white. My pastor never did/could quite explain the reason to me. I'm not sure if he was Black, but I know Jesus was not a Caucasian if I base Jesus's ethnicity on what the Bible says he looked like. It shouldn't really matter what color he is anyways if a person is a true believer. If an artist wants to depict Jesus, I would prefer to see the depiction in line with what the Bible says Jesus looks like.

Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard. ~ Leviticus 19:27
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. ~ Matthew 5:17 (Jesus Christ)
If Christ came to fulfill the law then he would have adhered to the law in Leviticus and thus would not have cut the hair at the sides of his head or clip off the edges of the beard.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. ~ Isaiah 53:2
The scripture above is prophesying about Christ. So what ever Christ looked like as a man he was not beautiful or desirable in appearance.
God purposely didn't reveal Jesus' full appearance in scripture so that it would not cause conflict between races and peoples appearances. God is love not vanity.

Jesus was the embodiment of god. just as the holy ghost is the Resurrection of god. so they are all the same 1 god.
also if god never came to earth. then how did Mary get pregnant with Jesus?
no jesus wasnt black. after all ever see a bunch of white people follow a black leader in the history of the world? lol

I have to assume that Jesus was the color of your typical outdoor Jew while he was in the form of a man. Another observation is that those who crucified Christ are not the Antichrist. He is supposed to appear and pretend to be a great, great guy who achieves peace in the middle east until his true colors are revealed. He will be assassinated and, wow, come back to life.
Then he will declare himself god -- he will look unbeatable -- and rule the earth for a couple years. The whole world will worship him. Those who won't, well, off with their heads, black or white.
So your premise is faulty.

Why don't you say the Jews crucified Jesus , so the Jews are anti-christs, somehow you I may sense a theme in your questions. Is there a possibility of an agenda? Mebbe

i for my section do no longer think of it concerns what epidermis colour Jesus grow to be. given which you further it up i think from interpreting the Bible that Jesus grow to be a gloomy skinned guy. He grow to be a Jew so clearly his epidermis would not have been white. Being from the East his epidermis grow to be possibly black, darkish, or olive. That being stated...i'm a Christian who would not seem on the colour of the floor, in simple terms on the state of the middle.

jesus is an alien entity , sent here to check the progress of an alien experiment known as man, as proof,read the bible cover to cover and see all of the referances to other worldly beings , and the kingdom as a place in the void of space !, then check anchient cave man drawings of men in space suits,as well as the flying sucer in the window of the painting of the last supper !, so as far as we know , god (or dog) is an alien entity and may not even be humanoid , nor even have a color, or like the chameleon may have been able to change colors at will, and white men did not crucify him , the jewish people did , and they are closer to being black than white, but fit into neither culture, as they have their own culture and society !and the antichrist is anyone who spreads half truth's, lies, and deception, as well as hatred and bias, as well as ignorance, so if you wish to know who the anti christ is ?, just look in the mirror !, your hatred and racisum is showing, and your question could cause , those of limited intelligance to seek to riot or become racist like you !

Jesus was of Jewish descent, thus Middle Eastern, neither white or black.

By "black" man, do you mean a member of the ******* race?Think about what the people look like from the same area as Jesus. He's Caucasian, but looks middle-eastern, with dark complexion, dark hair and eyes, and probably a prominant nose. But we all prefer to think he looks like "us". All races have antichrists in them, bad being universal.
