Why is Jesus depicted as a white guy?
- Feb 22, 2007 11:31 am GMT[QUOTE="buckfush311"][QUOTE="RapCentral"]
Jesus was JEWISH... not an arab, not a muslim. He wouldn't be as dark as arabs.. he would be tanned.. but not really dark.
Jews basically look like white people except slightly darker.
[/QUOTE] How can you say he wasn't an Arab??? The "holy land" is smack in the middle of Arabia. Oh yeah that's right because Jesus can't look like someone you probably hate.[/QUOTE] umm no i have nothing against anybody of any race. jesus WAS jewish.. read the bible. INRI - king of the jews. that was posted above his cross.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

Alone I stand in the autumn cold, on the tip of Orange Island, the Hsiang flowing northward; I see-a thousand hills crimsoned through by their serried woods deep-dyed, and a hundred barges vying over crystal blue waters. Eagles cleave the air, fish glide in the limpid deep; under freezing skies a million creatures contend in freedom. Brooding over this immensity, I ask, on this boundless land - Who rules over man's destiny? I was here with a throng of companions, vivid yet those crowded months and years.
according to the bible he was a jew.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
