When you ask people how they envision Jesus to look?

Question

Do you think most people see him as an Angelic blonde blue eye Jesus or a person that looks very Middle Eastern or Asian or Black?
How do you see Jesus in your mind..honestly?

I actually see him kinda like Jim Cavziel who played Jesus in the Passion of Christ...

Answer 1

I see him as an atypical Semite.

He probably looks more like Osama than the neat pictures in White Christian sunday school books.

Answer 2

Oh, but the actual historical reality would probably be devastating to "Christians" who have idolized "Jesus."

He was probably extremely uncleanly, for one - recall that he refuses to wash in the gospels, in demonstration of his superior sanctity (Mark VII, 2; Luke XI, 38).

He was certainly not Caucasian. No blue eyes on this one like you see on the holy cards. He probably looked a lot more like the 9/11 hijackers than Jim Caviziel.

Answer 3

"How do you see Jesus in your mind..honestly? "
