Dont try to sell me the story that the christian churches all around the world are in one huge conspiracy to keep Jesus white. I dont think people think about it too much because everyone has their own vision of their savior.
As long as all of the leaders of the church are white rich people...you damn right I believe they will try to keep the appreance of jesus looking like themselves....
So most people here believe he was arab-jew looking....well iraqis have are brothers with the jews by bloodline[dna] as with palistinians...Try telling your average sheeperson in america walking out of a chruch that jesus looked like an iraqi!!!Im sure they would disagree and probably be offended even though it is the truth.THATS BECAUSE POLITICS AND RACE HAVE A HUGE PART OF RELIGION..AND IF YOU DONT KNOW THAT..YOU HAVE BEEN FOOLED
That being said you think that politics have no place in the modern christian church???The christian church today and has ALWAYS seemed to be more interested with politics and power then the seem to be interested in actually portraying jesus in the way that he wanted.
Rich white people are not going to worship a amn that looked like an iraqi and they will not worship a black man.But they have no problem worshiping images of jesus that are white even though they are false images.
So its not me with the hang up of color...its the christian church that has the problem.

I'm glad you've come to your senses.

Now, I hope that can entertain the reality that Jesus was truly a black man.

I doubt there is anyway I could be convinced of his color either way...tthe fact is that the christain church could have eaisily changed or remove the parts of scripture that may contradict what the claim as truth.The evidence has been erased from the bible and probably the earth.
I dont think there is enough evidence to prove he was any color at all.The descriptions are so vauge that the is almost nothing to go on.
Yes I understand that jesus didnt care about color and neither should we but the fact is that many people do care.So how did we come to our socially accepted image of jesus..and im not talking about most of the people on ATS..Im talking about your average person on the street that thinks jesus is white.. Why do some many people believe this??

From my understanding, the King James Version was written BECAUSE the Roman Catholic Church was changing the Bible.

Yeah I had actually heard the same thing, and it would make more sense seeing as how conspiratorial and threatening the Catholic Church can be.
