Revelation 1:14-15

"His (Jesus) head and his hairs were white like WOOL, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto fine BRASS."

This passage shows that Jesus had a brass color to his skin and curly hair.

Psalms 45:2 descriptions speak of the coming Messiah and describe him as "fairer than the children of men".

It's not much to go on to be sure but it's all we've got out of a very very very suspect HISTORICAL (not theological) source.

As far as the historiography is concerned, the Ethiopian Christian Church is believed by most historians to have the most accurate and unaltered point of view on Jesus's background. This is so because the Ethiopian church survived largely in isolation having been mostly cut off from larger Christendom by the fall of the Roman Empire and the advent of Islam which completed the isolation.

Unfortunately, due to the human propensity to make their gods look like themselves, we must view the Ethiopian Christian view as suspect for that reason.

On this issue, some have stated that it's an effort to "cancel" Jesus. Others have stated it's an attempt to simply acknowledge reality that the "SoCal surfer Jesus" is simply not, and never could be, accurate.

I don't think the vastness of Christianity is ready to accept multiple visions of Jesus according to what the worshipers look like. Some have even gone as far to say that Korean Jesus is blasphemous.

I leave it to you good GaGers! Let's discuss!

The public interest is a tedious thing. Sparing a thought for others is of no immediately obvious benefit. Private interests are easier to understand and pursue.
In a speech on Friday in North Carolina, Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to take on the issue of price gouging by large corporations. Researchers for U. K. think tanks Institute for Public Policy Research and Common Wealth found in late 2023 that profiteering, or “greedflation,” “significantly” boosted prices, leading to increases of 30% or more in corporate profits. “Excessive profits were even larger in the US, where many important sections of the economy are dominated by a few powerful companies,” wrote Phillip Inman of The Guardian.
The July report for consumer prices from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which came out yesterday, showed that prices rose less than 3% in the previous twelve months. Core inflation has fallen to its lowest rate since April 2021. For well over a year, wages have grown faster than inflation.
Responding to today’s news that inflation is coming down, the stock market ticked up in expectation that the Fed will now be more likely to cut interest rates in September. Applications for small businesses continue to boom across the country, with 19 million new business applications since Vice President Harris and President Biden took office, an annual growth rate 90% higher than prepandemic averages. Congressional Republicans are trying to cut the Small Business Administration and to cut taxes for big corporations.
Politico greeted today’s economic news with a headline saying, “Inflation is easing. Now, Harris has an even bigger problem with the economy.” And the New York Times reported that in a speech in North Carolina, “Harris Is Set to Lay Out an Economic Message Light on Details,” adding that she is expected to tweak Biden administration themes “in a bid to turn the Democratic economic agenda into an asset." Seems out of step with reality.
