Jesus is neither Black or White, He is Jewish, therefore
a Semite. A Semite is someone who is either Arab or Hebrew. Semites come from Shem the first son of Noah.
See Genesis 9:18 ff.
The lineage of Jesus is given both in the first chapter of Matthew, from Abraham(the Father of the Faithful) and in
the third chapter of Luke beginning with the 23rd verse tracing
the lineage all the way back to Adam.
Hope this helps. Hi Farah. Have a good day.
I Cr 13;8a

Jesus was a Semite.
The Semites of 2,000 years ago have since migrated (not necessarily by choice) south into what is now Ethiopia. You want to know what Jesus looked like? Look at a decently well fed Ethiopian, and use your imagination.

Well, Jesus was a Jew of middle eastern decent with skin of bronze and hair of lamb's wool. Maybe not Black, but definately not white either.

Jesus was a man from the middle east.
think about what skin colors there are in the middle east.
and it will answer your question.
(he was neither black or white, but tanned and bronzed)

Jesus was of Hebrew (middle-eastern) descent. Thus, he most likely shared the racial characteristics including skin and eye color of people the originated in the middle east.

Christ was a Jew.
It's more logical that he was olive-skinned (because of the region he was said to be born in) rather than black, but he was more than likely not 'Caucasian'

I don't know and quite frankly, I don't care what skin color Jesus is. That doesn't matter.
He could be blue, orange, green, red, beige, etc. It wouldn't affect the Gospel any other way.

Jesus was Jewish, at least on his mother's side. If you follow his mother's lineage, it does not come from the black Ethiopian line of Jews.

i really think it is just an opinion but there might be something in the bible stating that jesus is black or white.

Whether you believe in Jesus or not the fact is he was obviously not white.
