Thread Name: BS: What did Jesus look like?
Subject: BS: What did Jesus look like?
I got the idea to ask this because of something Martin said on that other thread...

So, what did Jesus look like? Well, he is usually seen depicted in the art of a European-based culture, which naturally co-opts him and makes him look European...often with blue eyes even! That seems unlikely to me.

My guess is that he looked like most other Judeans in that part of the Middle East at that time, meaning...he was probably dark-eyed, with dark hair, and a brown skin tone. That's my guess. He probably looked like an Arab, a Lebanese, or a Sephardic Jew. A semite, in other words.

What do you think?

As for you who don't believe he even existed...just sod off and start your own thread about whatever subject you like to talk about! :-)
