Why do people not believe that Jesus really just looked middle eastern?

[Anonymous]

Even in the Bible, it’s not accurate to how Jesus really looked like. But let’s be real, he looked just like a regular middle eastern man in those times (black hair and brown skin). And what’s funny about those people who want Jesus to be whitewashed is that Pope Alexander IV forced the church in 1490 to make his son the image of what we know as “Jesus.” by the way it was rumored that his son, Cesare Borgia was the gay lover of leonardo da vinci. So people in church today are worshiping a gay man who they think is Jesus lol! And this is one of the many reasons why I don’t go to church when lies are put right in front of you.

It isn't impossible that he could've looked like a Greek or a Roman considering the spread of the Roman Empire during that period, but it is more likely he would've been Middle Eastern in appearance.

But that's only if he existed at all! And there are serious arguments that may not have.

Because people can be stupid and racist on such matters.

Jesus is a beautiful white man with eyes sparkling blue more bluer than the sky, skin so soft and pale like velvet and hair a golden brown color, Jesus was beautiful more beautiful than any man on this Earth.

The entire Bible has been white washed by the Catholic Church. People need to do their research on theology and the several intentional mistranslations of the Bible that were done

People are serving the white jesus that justifies slavery and oppression. In reality jesus was a hippie, he wanted love and peace. He wanted Christians to feed the hungry help the homeless and live in an egalitarian society (which has been changed to be heaven 🤷🏽‍♀️)

"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household." Matthew 10:34-36

Jesus didn't come here for world peace, he came to bring revolution. Yes, he calls us to forgive others, in the same way that God forgives us. But forgiveness is not the same as peace. In fact, he adamantly stood against world peace.

"Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. And the LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.” So the LORD dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth." Genesis 11:1-8

Lmao clearly you didn’t read a word I said

[Savage_Wisdom]

You said Jesus came to bring peace. The Bible proves you wrong.

Read on the original Hebrew text and the mistranslations done by the Catholic Church

[MrCommodore]

I'm confused as to why anybody would think Jesus Christ was white, my assumption was that he looked like modern day Israeli or Palestinian people, as that is the region from where he hailed. I also agree that he was a happy minded guy, probably would have been a Bob Marley fan if alive in this era.

I'm not sure where the Catholic Church come into this though.

[SpaceDome]

The bible has not been "white" washed by the Catholic church you disgusting racist lady you're ignorant and you need shut your racist mouth. You don't know nothing.

Yeah I never trusted Jesus was middleeastern. I mean if he's Jewish tell me why he's got a Mexican name? Pronounced: (Hey-Zues)

[Asker]

Mexican? You mean Spanish? You must’ve been dropped on your head as a child, huh? His real name is “Yeshua” in Hebrew.

[Opinion Owner]

I don't care what his homes call him. I know his Christian name! It's Jesus H. CHRIST. I just call him Chewy.

I am pretty sure Borgia was Alexander VI not IV.
