Why do white christians not understand that Jesus was from the Middle East and therefore was brown not white?

Question

You go to any church and jesus has blue eyes and blonde hair and white skin? hmmm lol....makes you wonder

Thats what I like about christians . They can never make up their minds and believe their opinion as fact. ROFL...

Answer 1

Deities tend to take their form from whichever race/region they exist in.

Answer 2

I am gona star this question!!..only cause what u have asked is so simple yet so confusing to some that there r almost different and funny answeres ...like he was brown and not white and he had blue eyes or was it brown!!..u know i am not a christain and thank GOd for that...for id be totally confused about my religion...first, id see my God very different in EVERY church...second id be confused..about when Bible has said..thou shall not worship idols...isnt what they r all doing..It is very important to me what my God is to me..and i am so happy about the fact that my God is no different then the God my faith fellow follower belives in..i know colour does not matter But God is not HUMAN..something so grand cannot be something so small to die n be buried..
People who have talked about finding the truth..why dont they try n search for it..for a faith that confuses soo many,is a questionable faith!!..for faith is something that does not confuse you..yet guides you..and when u talk about the very core whom you call God..there should be NO room for any sort of arguments of his colour skin region..or religion...if jesus was a jew before he was a Christain..then what sort of a God is he?..a God that changed his mind ??..more confusion..jeezs!..and the last even the Bibles have been chnaged by men soo many time the very authenticity confuses every person on this earth even the big Christain scholars get confused!!...every one follows a different Bible...Thank God for my ONE GOD the most powerful n almighty who did not beget nor was he begotten..and there r none like him..and the ONE Quran..that all his people follow and are not confused by it..in islam u can never get CONFUSED.

Answer 3

We honestly don't know and it really doesn't matter.
DNA tests are showing that all Europeans originated in Africa, even Scandinavians.
When King Tut's death mask was shown many years ago, people recognized his features were that of a black man.
Now not all portrayals of Jesus are with blond hair and blue eyes. Actually they want every man to identify with Jesus. In Oriental churches the nativitiy scene shows people with oriental features. There is a parish in Chicago in a black neighborhood that has a large crucifix with a black man on it. At Christmas time I saw a nativity scene and the people portrayed were black. Now you have to realize a lot of our Christian religious art had European origins and therefore they portrayed the Holy Family as white caucasians, but some definitely had dark hair and brown eyes.

Answer 4

Most Middle East people do not have blue eyes (some do), but I would say that most of them are white. There is really no definition of what makes a person white, but most of the Arabs look something like Greeks or Southern Italians, or Portuguese.

Answer 5

Jesus is Jewish. He sounds like a midsection eastern, Jewish guy, no longer a white guy. Europeans invented oil paint, interior the 1100s, and that they did the 1st artwork of Jesus. They have been greater often than not Roman Catholic, lower back then, so as that they did no longer understand lots relating to the Bible, so as that they painted Jesus to look they way they did.

Answer 6

Just because an artist made a likeness of Jesus dosn't mean you can "LOL" in his face!

You insulted HIM and his Christains!

Maybe he was brown skinned. Do you know?

Maybe he did have brown eyes. Do you know?

I don't think so!

Do you think just because we came up with this picture of HIM and you say it isn't everyone is going to change?

Maybe you are right but everyone has been told and seen HIM this way. You can't change how we were raised.

"that's what I like about chrisians. They can never make up their minds and their opinions aren't fact"

Are you saying you know the truth? Then why don't you tell us all the answers then? Huh?

I'm sorry but you really insulted me with that question.

Answer 7

It does not matter what color skin he is, what color hair or eyes. He is God who became man, died on the cross and rose to save us from eternal hell, and shower us with forgiveness, That is what matters. I am a white Christian, and if Jesus was brown or black or yellow , that would be fine with me- Jesus is Lord!!!

Answer 8

You generalize too much. Ive never seen a blond haired, blue eyed picture of Jesus. Artists can make their pictures how ever they want. What difference does it make what color He is?

Answer 9

I'm a white Christian and know that Jesus was middle eastern, and a Jew, and dark skinned and dark featured.

Where do you get your "facts" from? hmmmm...makes me wonder....

Edited:
I have to say this. So many of you make total a$$es of yourselves trying to make us look foolish by grabbing any damn fool thing you hear and running with it.

And you call Christians gullible.......you don't even know when you're being played.

Answer 10

Who cares? What does it matter? The only problem seems to be in your less then adequate mind. If Christian churches paint all the Jesus figures black, guess what, it's still Jesus.

Answer 11

why do you not understand that we have no idea what Christ looked like, so it really doesn't matter how His physical form is portrayed...brown, black, white, red, polka dotted...or are you so foolish that you believe because someone who never saw Him paints Him as white, we automatically assume He was? have you ever ASKED a Christian whether they thought Christ was white?
