Do you think Jesus looked like the portraits we now have?

i do not think it matters either, nor do i care. he died for our sins. i just think it hilarious that racist christians like the KKK are worshiping someone who was most likely browner than white.

Christ when He was in the flesh was Jewish therefore would have had the features of the Jewish people.

What did He look like??

We have NO clue outside of what I just said.

If it was important we would have been told in the very oracles of God.

Considering what the scriptures say about long hair on a male I would rather doubt that His hair would have been long. A beard??, perhaps but we can only guess.

The important thing to remember that those images that have been painted are what that painter THINKS Christ might have looked like...not biblical facts.

Have a wonderful tomorrow.

mutually as i do no longer know of any data myself, i do no longer see why this declare is so difficult for each individual to declare as a probability. I recommend, dogs have been around contained throughout the time of Jesus, and that they are guy's superb buddy! Why could no longer the guy of God have a dogs superb buddy? To all people who needs to spout that "there's no the place that states this, consequently it won't have the capacity to be genuine..." all I could desire to assert is, Jesus dealt with opportunities! think of roughly it! i'm able to in basic terms think of being that dogs... could have been astounding to be puppy via Jesus!

Jesus was Jewish and lived in the middle east. Thus he would have looked like an Arab or a Jew from an Arabic country. Dark hair, swarthy skin, and dark or even blue eyes.

He would not have had blond hair and pale skin, of that you can be sure.

He certainly wasn't blond or blue eyed, no. He looked like the Jews. Dark hair and eyes with brown skin.

he was probably olive skinned with dark hair and eyes, like people from the levant are.

the trouble with portraits of him is that people want to have a god that they can empathise with so they paint him in their image.

Whether He was white,brown or black doesnt matter.

Have you made the effort to know His teachings and live by it?

As a Jew He was likely olive-colored. What difference does it make anyway?
