Jesus would have been tanish colored, if that's actually a word. It's how everybody looked in that area back then. How he looked physically isn't important. It's was the message that was important.
1 Samuel 17:42
And Goliath saw David, and despised him ; for he was a lad, and ruddy, with a fair countenance.
1 Samuel 16:12
And he sent and fetched him: and he was ruddy with beauty of eyes, and very goodly to behold. And the Lord said to Samuel, Arise and anoint David, for he is good.
Lamenations 4:7
Purer were her Nazarites than snow, Whiter than milk, ruddier of body than rubies, Of sapphire their form.
The Song of Solomon 5:10-11
My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
Psalms 51:7
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Description of Sarah, Seventh Dead Sea Scroll
'Her skin was pure white;
'She had long lovely hair;
Her limbs were smooth and rounded (her thighs were shapely)
'She had slender legs and small feet;
'Her hand were slim and long and so were her fingers.'
Description of Sarah, Genesis Apocryphon
…..and beautiful is her face! How…fine are the hairs of her head! How lovely are her eyes! How desirable her nose and all the radiance of her countenance… How fair are her breasts and how beautiful all her whiteness!
The Book of Noah 106, 106 BC psuedography
1And after some days my son Methuselah took a wife for his son Lamech, and she became 2 pregnant by him and bore a son. And his body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose, and the hair of his head and his long locks were white as wool, and his eyes beautiful.
So here is a true story from my childhood. There was a kid from my childhood who was black (insert whatever politically correct term you want here) We were both on the same football team and he was fast. Unbelievable fast off the mark. Anybody who has ever raced knows what I'm talking about. We used to race each other all the time in the alleys behind his house. He liked to race me because he knew he would win, lol. I went along with it because it made me faster to race against the best. Anyways, he had a painting of Jesus in his hallway, except this this Jesus was completely African. People change the image of Jesus to match their culture. That's been going on for over a thousand years now. The only thing that matter is the they believe in Jesus and what that means.
It is an expression concerning your lack of understanding about how race is nothing but a tool for the devil to cause division. Shocking how you have failed to learn that from the bible.
Absolutely race is a tool of division! None here is opposed to the fact that Jesus wasn't white. WhatvI want to know is who do you believe that Jesus was?
Yes . alot of ppl do that. They shouldn't. No one should have a picture of Him depicted as the race He was either. It's still a graven image. No graven images. Do you say Oh my G-d?
Whites don't care. They want to keep Jesus white so it can ramp up their egos. Assume white is "superior" to others because Jesus is depicted as a white man.
Other races do care, especially if they are Christians. Normally I would not care, but I had a change of heart. Understand what Jesus meant when he said to love others as yourself. I feel bad and empathetic to know how horrible white have been treated during the Obama era.
Please explain to me why I am racist? And CLARIFY and let me SEE my racist remarks! Instead of doing the SAME thing as left democrats are doing with TRUMP, how about you actually read what I was clarifying. I never stated anything racist towards whites nor discriminating against them in anyways. However, All I have gotten from them is their PRIDE because of their skin color.
The term image used in the Bible was referring to an idol of worship, not a picture or art. It's taking something and worshiping it as a god as opposed to God Himself.
Please help me understand. If anyone thinks about it.Jesus was born in the Middle East. He was Jewish. He was absolutely not white. How could that even be? But what are you upset about? What does this have to do with Trump and our country getting taken over?
It's one thing to know Jesus wasnt white. Fine. But why are you so heated about it? I'm white and I don't care that He wasn't white. I never saw one person on here care or say that He was. The bigger question is not what race was He, but who was He and what did He do and what does He require of you?
Some people are too stubborn to admit it. That is a problem. At least you acknowledge it and see the light. They need to defeat the racist devil inside of them.
I can't speak to what the OP has seen, though I can say that I have seen one instance of this on TD a few weeks ago. I remember there was a thread with people getting upset by an image of a brown-skinned Jesus, and thinking to myself "Really people? He was a Jew in the middle-east."
I've only personally seen the one post like that, though.
I'm open to adjusting my views here. I agree that we shouldn't reduce our understanding of God's nature to a manmade image or material thing. Though I don't see the harm in artistic renderings of God for illustrative purposes, as long as we don't revere and worship those renderings, and understand that they're not a literal portrait of the spirit of God.
We must also remember that Jesus was an incarnation of God in the flesh, who bore both a human and divine nature. It would seem bizarre to me to say that Jesus shouldn't be represented as human, considering that He represented Himself as such.
I do think some members of TheDonald.Win might be too attached to a Euro-white depiction of Jesus, though. I remember several weeks back, there was a post with people here freaking out over an image of a brown-skinned Jesus. People seem to forget that Jesus was a Jew living in the middle-east. I don't know how light or tan his skin was in reality, but demanding that Jesus be white and getting offended when he's not is very silly and veers too much towards idolizing Western culture rather than concerning oneself with the identity of Christ Himself.
I'll discuss pretty far with people and I try to give grace. After talking to you and looking at your other posts, here's what I think. Tell me if I'm wrong.
I think you probably are a Black Hebrew Israelite. You hate depictions of Jesus being white OR being Jewish because you believe He was African. You are obsessed with this because YOU believe in black supremacy. Your heart is vicious with anger towards those who don't accept Him as African. You don't really support Trump, but rather you hate him so much and the reason why is because he represents all that you hate - our white Founders, capitalism, and #1...Judeo-Christan values. I could be totally wrong, but you're not offering any better explanation.
My message to you: You as a sinner are hellbound , as we all are. You are separated from God because of it and the payment that you owe God is death. But Jesus (God in the flesh)paid the payment. You have not accepted that payment though. You need to trust Christ alone. Stop trusting in your works, your obeying the commandment to not have a graven image. You think they are good works but they are nothing but filthy rags. You need to repent.
Yes, I do. He is the best President ever in the US in my lifetime. He cared about the People, not his own pocket. Voted for him Twice without hesitation. I would do it again.
Who cares what race Jesus is?

That's makes the most sense. Again, I could care less about his skin pigment.
Israelites described themselves.

Yet, Whites are triggered. That is the problem.
I never said anything racist towards white. I am just stating reality: They have a graven image of Jesus depicted as white.
So here is a true story from my childhood. There was a kid from my childhood who was black (insert whatever politically correct term you want here) We were both on the same football team and he was fast. Unbelievable fast off the mark.

Just have no image of Jesus and believe in him. Racism would be mitigated.
Ok. If everyone at TDW agrees to have no images of Jesus.. I'm serious..if we did... Would everything be good then?
That's a tough one, we like our images. God has no race.
Pride.
Sounds like a mooslim pretending to be a Christian. Nobody gives a fuck about this, get out of here with your divisive bullshit.
Christianity is not about color or race. Why else did JESUS allow GentIles to hear the word of GOD? WTF have you learned?
Ok. I wanted to talk to you. If you care about Jesus'race, care about saying 'wtf' first.
It is an expression concerning your lack of understanding about how race is nothing but a tool for the devil to cause division. Shocking how you have failed to learn that from the bible.
Absolutely race is a tool of division! None here is opposed to the fact that Jesus wasn't white. WhatvI want to know is who do you believe that Jesus was?
Accepting Jesus as the Christ is all that matters. Why we need an image of him is beyond my comprehension...
What do you mean when you say 'the Christ'
Your entire post was about color and race. You absolute fucking retard.
Who has a GRAVEN image of Jesus depicted as White skin? You don't see the problem?
Yes . alot of ppl do that. They shouldn't. No one should have a picture of Him depicted as the race He was either. It's still a graven image. No graven images. Do you say Oh my G-d?
You're the problem. Literally nobody cares.
Whites don't care. They want to keep Jesus white so it can ramp up their egos. Assume white is "superior" to others because Jesus is depicted as a white man.
Other races do care, especially if they are Christians. Normally I would not care, but I had a change of heart. Understand what Jesus meant when he said to love others as yourself. I feel bad and empathetic to know how horrible white have been treated during the Obama era.
Nah, it's because YOU are the racists.
Please explain to me why I am racist? And CLARIFY and let me SEE my racist remarks!

Image of white Jesus.
Are images of Jesus as Jewish wrong?
Jews don't believe in Jesus.
Messianic Jews do. And Jesus was of Jewish lineage. Do you believe Jesus was Jewish?
The Bible can say anything you want it to when you isolate text from its context and cotext.
Please help me understand. If anyone thinks about it.Jesus was born in the Middle East. He was Jewish. He was absolutely not white. How could that even be? But what are you upset about? What does this have to do with Trump and our country getting taken over?
No one even would dispute him. I don't get it.
And that is the way. To follow the teachings of Christ. Why having an image of Jesus is beyond my comprehension.
I wasn't insulting whites. I was merely showing them their flaws. They just take it the wrong way when I mention "white" Jesus.
White supremacist is the problem. I am seeing more and more people in TD.W being triggered about "white" Jesus.
It's one thing to know Jesus wasnt white. Fine. But why are you so heated about it? I'm white and I don't care that He wasn't white. I never saw one person on here care or say that He was.

Go read the comment from OrangeFruitGood.
Praise Jesus Christ and follow his teachings. Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind.

I have a question. Do all people who have images of Jesus go to Hell? And all people who don't go to Heaven?
Sorry I meant to ask him
Having an image of him is the flaw.
I have a question for you.... Do all people who have an image of Jesus go to Hell and all who don't go to Heaven?
All who worship a false image of Jesus will burn in hell.
Jesus is the “LIGHT” of the world... no matter what color his skin is... why be so devisive?
I'm open to adjusting my views here. I agree that we shouldn't reduce our understanding of God's nature to a manmade image or material thing.

Perfect answer. Id just like to know what he thinks this has to do with Trump

Not even close to being black or African. Try again. Blacks also have a bad rap too because of the BLM movement.
Do you support Trump?
Yes, I do. He is the best President ever in the US in my lifetime. He cared about the People, not his own pocket. Voted for him Twice without hesitation. I would do it again.
Good to know
Unhappy "white" being triggered.
