Where exactly in the bible does it clearly describe Jesus being a black man? I keep hearing this from lots of gossip that he was black. I just want to know if this is truth or myth. Sometimes people take the words in the bible out of context and try to twist it into something inaccurate. If he is truly black, who is that white guy we've seen pictures of in the bible and the same white guy hanging on the wall in picture frame? The same white guy we been praying to for as long as I can remember.

And could someone please clear this up where it says in the bible that black skin is a curse? Let me know so I can look through the bible and check this out. I got to see this.

Jesus was a bromosexual with 12 butt buddies.



I don't know of any black men who would WANT to admit to that.

I received a Post Card from China, a painting about Holy Mother and Child, and they are Chinese...In China, may be Jesus is also a Chinese, and another book I saw from India, Holy Mother look like an India woman with beautiful saree and she is carrying this Baby Jesus, who is wearing a Sheik sorban, or whatever you call it,.....So, when black people picture Jesus is black, so it is ok...Jesus is a very Universal man anyway, he does not mind to be picture even in purple or green...Do not waste your time to check on the Bible, never will say Jesus is black nor white, Jesus is Jesus.....

Jesus was Jewish. Plain and simple. He wasn't European and he wasn't African. He was Middle Eastern.



A lot of people quote the wooly hair line. Guess what? Not all black people have wooly hair and other races can have wooly hair as well. Was Jesus blonde with blue eyes? No one knows but given the region, it would have made sense he was darker in eye color, skin color, and hair color. Blue eyes are a recent trait originating in Europe roughly 6000 years ago, far away from Israel. So, they were still a very new trait and hadn't expanded far beyond their native area and probably had not made their way into mainstream Israelis yet. Blondes are not uncommon to Africa due to Caucasian influence in North African races. But again, it was not common in Israel at the time. European painters often painted non-Europeans with European features (such as Pocahontas). Even pure Europeans were given a more European appearance in paintings (skin was often lightened for example). Israelis have European genetics as of modern day but at the time, it wasn't common.

Where does it describes Jesus as being a white man with blond hair and blue eyes? Jesus wasn't black but he was a person of color because the area he was raised and born, and having hair like wool obliviously he wasn't white.

First of all, you need to google the " Real History" in it , they say Jesus was black.

Second of all, the Bible says Jesus had hair like wool. I have never seen a white person with hair like wool. Thirdly, I have encountered two white priests, that told me themselves that Jesus was a black man ( and they are white!). And most importantly, If you know a little about history, you'd know that the oldest human remains were found in Africa, by archeologists (scientists). So it would make sense that Jesus Christ was black, if he was the son of God himself. If humanity started in Africa, what does that make Jesus Christ?

The Bible says his skin was bronze and he had hair like a sheep. Somewhere along the way, that got translated into a pale-skinned surfer looking dude with long hair.

Well, in the bible it mentions the locations of where Jesus was. A lot of people may assume he's black because the locations were close to Africa, but he more than likely looked like a middle easterner would since the locations were actually in that area, not just close to it.

It is not a myth. Some people think that I am crazy, but I have seen Jesus before. I don't care what anybody says about me but trust me I have seen him, and he is not white, Black, Hispanic or anything else. He is like a bright light bulb that you just put in the light thing. Call me what you want to but just trust me.

P.S. I am only 9 yrs old and I belive in God.

Daniel 10:6 6His body also was like beryl, his face had the appearance of lightning, his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and feet like burnished bronze in colour, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude.



"His face the appearance of lightning." My God did Jesus look like he came to do business. "His Body like beryl" Meaning he had on a green garment. "His eyes were like flaming torches." Genesis 49:12His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. He drunk wine out of moderation and he also like to drink milk. " His feet and arms like bunished bronze in colour" He was dark as night. "His sounds of his words were like multitude."He talked with AUTHORITY! That's Daniel description of Jesus. That's why he blended in with them Black *** Ancient Egyptian's. LMAO!
