Friend,
this type of thinking of things that happened makes no sense, I feel.
we do not have any control over past events in our lives even.So if I did like that instead of this like questions make you unnecessarily tension filled or angry about yourself, which I think is unnecessary.
HE was not.That is all.
there is no meaning in thinkin about HIM with ''If and Buts.''
I feel that way please.

Do you know that we have to reach subtle by gross. We start by being selfish and we end up being unselfish. Although many people may follow or love Jesus initially because he is white, but finally all turn into saints, I am not a Christian but I can say this!!!
I think the answer is No!, I think Jesus would have had less followers if he was black or brown. All is well that ends well.

Noone today has seen Jesus and there is no photo of Him.
When you have love compassion, peace and security all flowing from one person, i don't think it would matter how the person looks.
If it dosen't matter to Jesus whether ur fat, ugly or beautiful, only that u are His Child why should u.
If someone would give u unconditional love u would'nt once think what that person looks like.
His teachings are what make people except Him.
What about Blind-by-birth yet God fearing Christians?

True follower is who follows the teaching of his Master not how he looks like or what he wears.
When Lord Christ gave his message he was here only for His marked sheep not for every one. So doesn't matter how many people followed him then and how many follow him now.
Numbers doesn't give merit to a Master, its how he takes back His marked Sheep.

Certainly brown with, the blackish tinge indeed. But if you could see his complexion biologically , He was having more melanin pigments under his skin than the brown but certainly less melanin pigments than the black. or brownish black will be the right expression. or.... er!
Actually I am getting confused. Because I can see him in all the racial colours. And all seem to be genuine.
I think if you have any idea about his Blood group, perhaps......we could sort it out which colour he belonged to.
ps: Kindly don't forget to discuss and find out 'Rh type' too.
Are you getting me right Ma'am?

Caucasian Christians love Jesus regardless of His skin color!
'White' people from Europe or of European origins are not the only racist people on the planet. There's good and bad in every race, religion, and country. Stop singling out 'whites'.

Jesus was Middle Eastern. Christianity boomed when the Roman Empire divided and conquered.

If? Raised in the Middle East and born of local Jews, presumably he WAS brown. Only European churches regularly depict him as white. African churches depict him as black.

IF jesus was real, he would have been brown, based on the region he was thought to have been born and resided in. Where is the logic behind your statements that jesus was white? Ignorance is a disease, knowledge is the cure.

He was.
Each nationality makes Jesus look like them, it is a relatabilty factor. Asians', Africans', Mexicans', Indians' pictures of Jesus aren't white.
Hint: Jews were Arab, no ethnic difference.
