Arabs are darker than Sephardics because of miscegenation with their African slaves.

"It's very important because (the film) is going to provide an image of Jesus for African-Americans that is no longer under the control of whites," says Stephenson Humphries-Brooks, an associate professor of religious studies at New York's Hamilton College ..."

Obviouly image is more important than truth to this guy. And to think he is an Associate Professor of Religious Studies.

I dunno: I live in Cali and I think most of you are nuts :)

[humblegunner]

He even had dreads, yo.

Not Swedish, but not negroid either.

But that his skin was like brass.

Actually his feet were like bronze;

But His head and Hair were white;

"13and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest.

14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.

15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

Here is a painting done by a artist back in the 1930s who got his inspiration and image from the Shroud of Turin..



Jesus was a Jew... not African, nor Anglo, but, Jewish.

[oneamericanvoice]

A little New Agey, don't you think?

[Theo]

I agree. Dark skin is probably closer to reality than the white Jesus usually portrayed.

.....including Jim Robinson who started this site?.... Most top rated scientists and technological advances by far are developed in Calif....Silicon Valley....etc.....don't let your emotion get in the way of rational thinking.....you just hate the libs here.....as I do....but I differentiate between them and the state as a whole

If someone wants to focus on Christ's skin color rather than His message, then they totally don't get what Christ's sacrifice was all about. Period. End of story.

You can prove anything with statistics, I prefer history....


What did Stalin say "a single death is a tragedy, a million deaths but a statistic" something like that

Does it really matter what color he was? Jesus was the son of GOD and that is good enough for me!!!

Amen. BTTT!

"Black people in this country are the only race of people who worship a god outside their own image," says LaMarre

Many of the Hindu gods are not human. Ganesh for example.

.....Good Lord.....you don't like the liberals here as I don't...nor the crap mainly in So Cal...and you generalize to the whole state....?????......that is just absurd.. Historically this is the "smartest" state when you look at universities and innovation, invention and business development......

If humans were created in the image of God, then it's perfectly ok for Blacks to picture Christ as Black, Whites to picture him as white, Asians to picture him as Asian, etc.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Would you reject the gift of salvation offered by Christ, if somehow his earthly heritage failed to meet your expectations?
