Josephus, a Jewish historian, mentioned Jesus in his writings toward the end of the first century C.E., roughly 60 years after Jesus' death.
As a non-Christian, Josephus would have no reason to accept the historical reality of Jesus unless there was some sound basis for it.
In one of his works, Josephus discusses disturbances that were caused by the Jews during the time Pontius Pilate was governor of the region of Judea (26-36 C.E,) The disturbance centered around a man named Jesuss and his followers, Josephus identifies Jesus as "a wise man....a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of men who received the truth with pleasure," and he notes that Jesus was later condemned by Pilate to crucifixion. While this mention of Jesu does not suggest that Josephus himself accepted Jesus or the claim made about Jesus by his followers, it does seem clear that Josephus recognized Jesus to be a historical person who had a profound impact on the people he encountered.

Read also about Tacitus, a Roman historian.....Pliny the Younger another Roman source and Suetonius a Roman historian and lawyer.
All these writers prove the historical existence of Jesus......rather than biblical sources.

Interesting theory and observation. It might be true. Why is God White? Since the White man already thinks they are above everything else, their God HAS to be White also. I grew up with Buddhism influence, but I don't call myself Buddhist or practice it. But all the different Gods in Buddhism appear Asian to me, so ha! Maybe it has to do with where the religion originated from. Christianity originated in the West, and everyone is "white", thus they imagine their God to be white, just like them. Buddhism and Taoism originated from the East, thus the people depict their Gods looking like themselves. Interesting topic!

The whitening of Jesus is an historic element from an age that we'd fairly forget approximately. in any different case i be attentive to no-one that hates center eastern human beings generally or have I haerd of this variety of element. Non human beings like the assumption of Muslims jointly attempting to take over our society although. tremendously while they use rigidity and terror as ability. Is that what you mean via hate?

It is true that His false image is worshiped and it's by more than just caucasians/Anglos although the truth be known. The picture is what is more acceptable for a following than to put the actual representation of Jesus as He is described in the Bible as having skin of bronze and hair of wool. There WOULD NOT be such a mass acceptance of Him were He was portrayed as such. I read somewhere that thou shalt not worship false...................?

This wasn't my idea or anybody else's. One could point out he was a descendant of Jews from the Middle East but there is no real stereotype of how Jewish people look. So he could have been light-skinned with freckles and green eyes, blonde with blue eyes, redheaded with brown eyes, dark with brown hair and hazel eyes...who knows? That is not really the point. It was what He stood for.

Doesn't explain why jesus is so popular amongst the deep south black population.
