‘Tis the season… but is white Jesus the reason?
How did Jesus’ “skin of bronze” turn into the widely revised blue-eyed, blonde hair version that we’ve grown accustomed to seeing? Find out on #UnpackThat

If you care what color Jesus' skin was, you've missed the point completely. You pretty much have to start over from the beginning with an understanding that moves beyond earthly and physical things, otherwise you will fail continually in living up to His message.

The Jews in Palestine 2000 years ago
were a mix : some dark haired brown
eyes, some middle brown hair, some
looked European with ashen hair, light
skin and blue eyes. So not at all improbable Jesus looked white.
But he might have been olive-skinned
with brown hair. Not sub-saharan
black though.

The late Rev. Billy Graham himself said this in the 60s “Jesus was not a white man.”

His name is NOT Jesus. His name is YAHUSHA. His children are the ISREALITES Who are the True People of isreal And these peopl were BLACK. PLEASE YOU WILL GET ALL YOUR ANSWERS FROM TRUTHEDITED. WHEN YOU READ THIS TRUE BIBLE MAKESURE YOU START FROM THE BEGINNING OF THESE ISREALITES HISTORY. IT HAS ALL OF WHAT HAPPENS RIGHT TO THIS DAY. THE ISREALITES WERE SCATTERED ALL OVER THE WORLD.

61 now. Never was taught or seen any pics of a white Jesus in any of my fam's homes. All of dark or bronze coloring. What a true pile of bullshit this is. Who states Jesus was ever white? No one I have EVER met who is white said that, ever. Anyone with a brain knows Jesus of Nazareth was brown. Don't care, he loves me and I love him. Pile of sad souls with no life just being ignorant or just have no life. Wake up and smell the dark brown coffee. Who CARES? He loves us all.

This is full of black people with who just hate whites. “His head and the hairs were white as snow” the hairs and his head… he had blonde hair, white blonde hair. His head was white…so his face was white lol. Jesus was a nazerine. Lamentations 4:7 describes nazerines as white as milk, with a sapphire polish (blue eyes). Adam in Hebrew means red, ruddy, white people turn red. King David was described as white with red hair. We are the real Israelites.

I personally think he was darker skinned like the guys in the middle East but I could be wrong…
But, why is everyone hung up on what color the Israelites were or what Jesus Christ looked like on earth? IT DOESN'T MATTER.
Ppl need to stop making ethnicity their God…ethnicity shouldn't ever be more important than what God has said and done and ppl talk and idolize ethnicity so much that it's more important than God's character and word.
When was the last time that these ethnicity tirbalists actually preached the gospel (which is colorblind) or talked to someone why SIN (which is also colorblind) prevents us from coming to God???
Black this…or white that….IDC. It's not about that and it never should be! Why are ppl so STUPIDLY obsessed with it???
God put melanin in every single human being….we're all created under his image…skin tone got nothing to do with Salvation or how we carry ourselves.
We all have our own minds, hearts, voices and choices in this world…
Ethnicity doesn't determine jack squat!
If Jesus Christ didn't have to be the ethnicity that you hoped….would you still love him?
If all the value you see in him is him looking like you or a certain ethnicity, than it's not him that you love…its your pride wanting to use the Lord to exhalt a certain ethnicity above the rest and God has already said that he Is No Respecter of Persons…which means that he Doesn't play favoritism.
Quit focusing on skin and focus more on what the Holy Spirit is telling you to do, focus on the word of God and focus on helping ppl around you…
Always talking about ethnicity on God, Jesus and Israel honestly isn't too helpful at all…all it's doing is causing more division.

Only israelites/blk people can have hair thats white and wooly. Middle eastern people do not have hair like that, look it up and youll find nobody of middle eastern descent that has wooly like hair.
Jesus is a BLACK man. And this is coming from a white polish man
