Christ is black

[Valjean]

I thought Jesus was Semitic, a fairly dark skinned Caucasian subgroup.

And why would someone in his early thirties have snow white hair? Maybe Jesus was albino....

 

[Don Penguinoini]

STUPID! he was average height Jew with light skin and a beard.

But the real question is did he have Morton's Toe?

 

[Troublemane]

OOOOOHHH! I have a morton's toe!!!!
...at least, so long as morton dont come to take it back!

To the best of my knowledge Jesus was a Jew thus Arab, perhaps if he stayed in the sun a bit too long he may appear to be black however he would still be very distinguishable from an African.

Jews and Arabs are not the same thing. But, if we go back far enough, we're all African. :tribal:

only racsit care what color his skin was.

 

[Valjean]

As far as actual skin color goes, Caucasians exhibit the widest range of all the six or eight races. Both the lightest skinned populations in N. Europe and the darkest Dravidians in India are Caucasian.

You know when it says "white like wool" it is not saying white and like wool. The quility that wool and his hair have in common is their whiteness. If something is "white as snow" it is very white, but not necessarily freezing cold. Also I don't think brass being burned in a furnace would be black, wouldn't it be orange and glowing like when a blacksmith heats metal? But most importantly in the same book (Revelation) the redeemed say-

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
