The fertile crescent was the crossroads of the world. Dozens of invasions and occupiers over millenia.
Tradition says that Jesus had blue eyes.....

Truth matters.

I agree, the color of Jesus does not matter, I accept him whether he is black, red, yellow or white.

Okay. So next shall me make a Chinese Jesus? No, no. I say outsource his job (that of being a God) to India!

Jesus was crucified because of his race. The Romans had only contempt for the Jews. Of course, he was turned over to the Romans by his own people. Wonder what color the Romans are in this imaging of the events?

Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of Man. He can be any color or all colors, it comes with the territory.

What color are the ROMANS in this film? Lily white (and therefore "evil"?!?!)

The greatest problem with the Social Club Churches is not about the ethnicity of Jesus, but their denial of the fact that he came as the sacrificial lamb, to once and for all be the final sacrifice.
Those chapters of lineage were intended to map the route from the promise of a Messiah, to his actual arrival. The only lineage that matters one iota, is the lineage of Jesus to his Father, God Almighty.

The truth is that none of the Gospels give us even a hint about what Jesus looked like. I think. however, that Daviv is said to have red, curly hair, and one migh assume, blue eyes. Can't say where thisw cqme from, though.

/...the arrogance goes to the Texas fellow who started this whole debate by an unintelligent rationalization .... My other posts speak for themselves...and to be honest... it is usually you guys that pick the first fight....rarely the other way around.....so the arrogance thing...or more so "chip on your shoulder" for some reason makes it necessary to attack another state...not sure why

There is a fine historical precedent for this.
No difference!

Jesus was a Jew... There are only three possible choices for race. Jew is not one of them.
While Jesus was indeed a Jew, that is not a race, but an ethnicity.

This oughta settle the question.

I have a picture of the virgin Mary next to my desk. In it she is hold the baby Jesus, is about 16 or 17 and is an American Indian.
I like the picture because it reminds me (I am white) that out of one of the most exclusive religions sprang forth the most encompassing one. We are not man, or woman, free or slave, Jew or gentile, just children of God.
If portraying Jesus as white, black, Hispanic, Asian or green with red stripes helps someone develop a closer more personal relationship with God, so be it.
