If he existed why is there still disagreements over something this obvious?

First of all God is a spirit within one. He's a living and active spirit,
that through spirit he can do anything. There are disagreements because the serpent was kicked off heaven into earth and whereever there is something good there is always going to be something bad because Where ever the Lord strong and mighty is there the serpent is always trying to trample down the Lords excellent works.
God Bless thats why there are so many disagreements.

Honestly, the Bible says that his skin was as bronze and his hair white as lamb wool. (King James version : Revelation)That could describe an Arab, a Latino, a black person (we do come in many shades) a Sicilian or an Arab. Seriously, if God felt that it was so important then he would have specifically stated it in the Bible. Since he didn't we should all stop focusing on the physical Jesus and on the spiritual. He did die for ALL people, not just white or black or whatever.

There is no disagreement. He could not have possibly been black or white. He was a Middle Easterner, so His skin colour would have been olive and His hair colour black or dark brown.

Middle Eastern.
He would probably look a lot like what many consider a terrorist.
He was not European so he wouldn't be white. He wasn't Sub-Saharan so he wouldn't be black. (Although he had a better chance of that I suppose.)
The disagreements are because they didn't have color photography back then and he couldn't afford to comission an artist to paint his portrait.

He is from Isreal and therefore would look Middle Eastern.
People want Him to look like them and the paintings and such reflect that but there are still disagreements because of that. If was obvious they would agree would they not.
The Bible says He had no comleyness that we would desire Him.

I assume that he looked like a 1st Century Palestinian Jew.
Didn't they do a documentary about this on the Discovery Channel or something? He would be fair skinned, but have dark hair and dark eyes.
People argue about this, because they want to say that God favors a particular race, not because they have a real logical basis for what they are saying.

I am Native American Indian but look white. I was raised to believe he was white, due to white churches, white drawings in the bible, paintings, etc.
But the book clearly states in Revelations that he is bronze, meaning he is more asian than black or white. Not saying he is asian....but that color of skin.
If you mix all the colors we have today into a pot.....you will get the color of Jesus. Just don't forget his white flowing hair and eyes of blazing lanterns, for it is the image in the Shroud of Turin.

Jesus did exist as a man. and whoever does make an argument of his skin color is quite unrehearsed in history. he came from the middle east

Jesus was probably (at a minimum) dark skinned, with black hair . Its only common sense to assume that, given where he was born, preached and died.

I am sure it does not matter. I am glad they didn't have cameras or that no one painted an image of our Lord. Look at the problems we are having by not knowing what he physically looked like. Jesus was God in the Flesh. That is all that matters.
