I would venture to guess that Jesus, being God Himself, with all the innate abilities only He possessed, could appear differently to different tribes and groups of people.
If He could make water turn to wine and feed the masses, there is no doubt he could also change his appearance in order to more closely associate with the people whom he was amongst.
I would posit--Jesus Christ looked exactly like ALL OF US.
Well you've just proved a.) that you're completely illiterate and b.) that you have no concept of the scriptures that you claim to be so in love with and have no clue about the savior you claim to adore so much.
I know what tribe Yahoshua is from. I also clearly know that Simeon was not Yahoshua. The Simeon example was to provide insight on exactly what color the Hebrews of Yahoshua's day living in Ancient Israel would have been.
Being that Simeon was called "dark" the assumption drawn is that the people's skin tone varied very heavily back then.
Just like in most groups that have darker skin tones, there are those who are very dark and those who are lighter. This really shouldn't be that hard to explain, but I see I'm dealing with a child, who doesn't know anything of the scriptures other than what the pulpit pimps and faith healers tell him.
Again the evidence is in the word.
We know from the Bible the Hebrews looked like the Egyptians.
We know from Ancient Historians looked like Ethiopians.
We know from the scriptures that at least a few of them were very dark.
Seriously the color of Yahoshua isn't a very controversial issue if you know your Bible. The imagine given in a post above by skull pilot probably was what Yahoshua looked like. I'd accept that as a pretty good portrayal.

From someone with spiritual dyslexia, I'll take that as a complement.

That is like saying that because there is a black man in America, everyone in America is black. Your logic is seriously flawed.
...as it does today... which means absolutely nothing.

You have tried to prove your point with nothing but assumptions from scriptures taken out of context. Everything else is merely what you hope and pray were true but should not be mistaken for reality.

Maybe you can show me where the Bible says that Hebrews "looked" like the Egyptions. I am sure the scripture exists. I must have just overlooked it. My appologies in advance for not noticing that scripture.

I dont think it matters what He looks like.
I think it's the message that matters.
It is the message that matters but liberals are soooo infatuated with skin color that they try to say that Jesus was a black man so they can further develop their distortions of the Bible. So to that extent, yes, it does matter.
That's a pretty bold generalization there, bud. Got a link?
I suspect he looked a lot like Jimi Hendrix.
being omnipotent he could play guitar at least as well or better
I remember reading something by an early church father, or a monk who described Jesus as very dark skinned.
By today's standards how black would Jesus be? Blacker than Obama?

seriously.
Profiling at an airport: would Jesus fit the description of a suspected terrorist?
The race of Jesus has been a subject of debate since at least the nineteenth century. The physical appearance of Jesus of Nazareth was debated by theologians from early on in the history of Christianity, though with no explicit emphasis on race.
Different societies have depicted Jesus and most other biblical figures as their own ethnicity in their art; for example he is primarily white in the West. The current dominant opinion among historians and scientists is that he was most likely a Galilean Jew and thus would have features which resemble modern-day persons of Middle Eastern or Semitic descent.

Biblically the Hebrews of Yahoshua's day looked like Ancient Egyptians. Whatever color the Egyptians were, the Hebrews were that same color. There is plenty of evidence to suggest this in scripture (Exodus 2:19; Matt 2:13-23), plus the fact that the Hebrews spent less then 400 years in Egypt and multiplied from about 70 strong to about 3 million during the exodus. Impossible without them taking Egyptian wives.
Additionally the ancient historian Tacticus called the Hebrews "an Ethiopian race". What do/did Ethiopians look like? Whatever that is/was I'm pretty sure Yahoshua was that color.
Then there's these verses:
"My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat." (Job 30:30)
"Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick." (Lam 4:8)
"Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine." (Lam 5:10)
I don't know why people assume Yahoshua looked like an Arab or Ashkenazi Jew. That's a foolish assumption... based on nothing, accept I saw Jaysus in the Passion of the Christ. He looked "olive colored". Silliness. If you actually read the word, you'll get answers... that actually make sense.
Those scriptures have nothing to do with Jewish skin color. Why is it, every time a liberal attempts to quote the Bible, it is like chalk screeching on a chalk board?
You mean he didn't have blue eyes and reddish golden hair like "Jeffery Hunter"?
I suspect he looked a lot like Jimi Hendrix.

Even God would have had to practice.... Can you imagine being there when Jesus banged his thumb with a hammer? (Don't say he didn't either - he was a carpenter by trade and his humanity is too big a part of the religious package on Him. If he was human, he banged his thumb.)
What's greek for "Holy FUCK, that hurt!!"?

Interesting, thought.
Jesus was no superstar..he be a soul man.
Yeah, the non believers have a monopoly on moral behavior alright.
Loon.
The non-believers are not the ones running candidates on morality platforms, only to catch the hypocrites they elect with their pants down.
Suetonius mentions Christians as being a general nuscence by the time of Nero. So in 25 years they went from 1 guy and 12 buds to a movement that was causing major grief in the capital. Pretty good speed for a movement in the 1st century.
They didn't have the internet back then, of course.
Yeah, Jesus recruited his day's versions of the wife beaters, dead beat dads, cheating spouses, illegals, homos, prostitutes,, murderers, thieves, leftists, commies, socialists---they all reformed and tithed---sort of like the born agains today----reformed wife beaters, dead beat dads, cheating spouses, illegals, homos, prostitutes,, murderers, thieves, leftists, commies, socialists.
Just say you believe and all is forgiven.
I've seen many Black Madonnas in Sicily. So if God is white then Jesus is probably the same color as Obama.I remember reading something by an early church father, or a monk who described Jesus as very dark skinned.

Jesus didn't speak Greek, ding-dong.
He spoke Aramaic. Hullo?????

Dante, amongst the many shitty comments you've made here on these forums, this is one of the most shitty of them all.
I'm pretty certain you were already going to burn in hell...this one just seals the deal for you.

That incoherent screeching in your ear every time you hear the truth is called "Talk Radio".
There's a way to turn it off, but you have to WANT to be healed.
What about the Book of Mormon? Did Joe Smith ever speak about the color of Jesus' skin?
I wonder because for ages the Mormon Church would have prevented Jesus from entering their Temples.
Hell, Jesus turned water into wine.
That alone would have fucked him with the Mormons.
It wasn't alcoholic, learn history dumb shit.
