March 13, 200917 yr Well recently, in school, my friends and I were having a philosophical discussion about the color of Jesus's skin. Some thought it was white (Caucasian) others thought it was black. I thought it was neither of those two. I believe Jesus had the common Arab skin tone that's sort of yellowish... because well he IS an Arab. On a disscussion basis, post what color you think his skin is, afterall Jesus of Nazareth was infact a real person. Mods please edit or remove or w/e if against the rules.
March 13, 200917 yr dark arab idk why just first thing that came to mind after reading question lol Orthodoxy is unconciousnessthe only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed.
March 13, 200917 yr He'd have looked like any other man from the middle east - a brown skinned man. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC)
March 13, 200917 yr http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_jcfa.htm The pictures you see in churches and frescos are just that, imaginary speculation... It's just about impossible he was "white" in the modern sense of the word. He was from the middle-east and more likely than not looked like all the other arabic people living in Palestine 2,000 years ago.
March 13, 200917 yr Honestly, does it really matter? For that matter, did Jesus every actually exsist? But if he did, I'd say the Arab one. Plus, don't use Negro, it may be the scientific term, but its use through history caused it to get a reputation. Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198
March 13, 200917 yr Purple. Probably looked like a normal guy from the area. Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.
March 13, 200917 yr Honestly, does it really matter? For that matter, did Jesus every actually exsist? But if he did, I'd say the Arab one. While people can argue whether Jesus was the son of God or a Prophet (as he is in Islam) it's pretty accepted that there was somebody from Bethlehem called Jesus.

Plus, don't use Negro, it may be the scientific term, but its use through history caused it to get a reputation. Jesus DID historically exist, that much is fact. Whether or not he was the son of God, the messiah, is up for debate. A dark Arab color, almost definitely, but does it really matter? Get back here so I can rub your butt.
March 13, 200917 yr Yeah, I suppose he did. Though he'd have been a Carpenter. Plus he was born about 5 B.C. if I remember. Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198
March 13, 200917 yr He was actually real? I don't think so :roll: Yep, everything in the Bible during Jesus's time is true, but before that hasn't been proven. (Garden of Eden is probably not true) Get back here so I can rub your butt.
March 13, 200917 yr Author He was actually real? I don't think so :roll: there's proof of jesus being real, it's not proven if he could heal leprosy, walk on water, let the blind see, or if he was the son of God (in Christianity) or a prophet (in Islam)
March 13, 200917 yr He was actually real? I don't think so :roll: there's proof of jesus being real, it's not proven if he could heal leprosy, walk on water, let the blind see, or if he was the son of God (in Christianity) or a prophet (in Islam) Pretty much. But like I said earlier, does it really matter what skin color he was? I think the pic Lancer posted above looks about right. Get back here so I can rub your butt.
March 13, 200917 yr Yeah, I suppose he did. Though he'd have been a Carpenter. Plus he was born about 5 B.C. if I remember. Close, most believe it was 6 B.C. Probably more southern Mediterranean than Arab. Palestine was very culturally mixed between Arabs and Romans. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream
March 13, 200917 yr I think it does matter because it shows how history can (quite literally in this case) whitewash things and change details. It's even more relevant when looking at ancient texts (such as the Bible) and how details can be altered over the course of a few thousand years. ps. If BC is Before Christ & AD is After Death what is the time when Jesus is alive called? He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC)
March 13, 200917 yr sporadic thought is it logical to assume jesus was fairly attractive? I mean people that are good orators and gain followings have a tendency to look "good". edit--BC and AD have a different meaning, they have taken on before and after over time(I forget the name) Orthodoxy is unconciousnessthe only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed.
March 13, 200917 yr I have this nagging feeling he was a Jew :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::

March 13, 200917 yr ps. If BC is Before Christ & AD is After Death what is the time when Jesus is alive called? Calender's wrong anyways for one thing. But there really wasn't a time like that. He was born in 6 BC and died around 30 AD, I believe. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream
March 13, 200917 yr I have this nagging feeling he was a Jew he would be a christian, a follower of his own beliefs Karl Marx was a marxist, Confucious was a Confucionist(spelling) etc. Orthodoxy is unconciousnessthe only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed.
March 13, 200917 yr edit--BC and AD have a different meaning, they have taken on before and after over time(I forget the name) Ah see I didn't know that.

A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.
March 13, 200917 yr I have this nagging feeling he was a Jew he would be a christian, a follower of his own beliefs Karl Marx was a marxist, Confucious was a Confucionist(spelling) etc. Well, he was a Christian in the end, but he was raised as a Jew. Get back here so I can rub your butt.
