Why are most of the images of Jesus that I see white?

Ignorance!  Jesus was a Jew and born and raised in the middle east and Egypt.  He was probably very dark skined from traveling by foot so much.  He was a carpenter by trade and spent a lot of time out doors.  He must have had an awesome tan!

There is no place where Christianity dominates. Science dominates now (Against my liking)...\nAnyhow, I am not White anymore (Scott-Irish American) for a reason. Every other Race can call you White Trash, but if you talk back you are "racist". And, they can pull that out as their Ace in the sleeve.\n\nP.S. It seems that Revelation is Ignorant to everything but what he belives. And what he belives is that every other belief is ignorant.

A white cross with the drop of blood in the middle was supposed to represent Jesus's blood, as in Jesus sacrificing himself for the White Aryan race. (How they deal with the fact that he was Jewish is a great mystery.) They see themselves are God's chosen people.

Most of them are very good. just a way of trying to put Jesus in a modern setting.

Jesus was neither black nor white. He came from the Middle East and was Jewish, so chances are he had an olive colored skin complexion.\n\nHowever, if you read the accounts in the Gospels carefully, there is no mention at all of any of his physical characteristics... interesting, huh?

you kind of have to read between the lines when Jesus Chirst is speaking. since he is talking to a jewish believers, he is telling them that he has more sheep/followers who are not in front of him but spread through out the world. and that all his followers are not just jews but from other races as well.

it does matter, from,...... long ago the catholic church has manipulated this and very under the table "remarks" white skin is superior, therefore making Jesus white with blue eyes, but like adressed in the movie Malcom X, Jesus had to have color because he was born a Jew in a place where people hacve color. People have argued me that it was possible that even tho the geographic situation, Jesus was indeed white because "He Was The Son of God"..... basically this person told me that you have to lack a skin color to be son of god...

Why so many questions about the colour of Jesus' skin?\nGod made all races of people and salvation is available to everyone.  I don't care if Jesus was black, brown or white.  What is the difference?  He is still God!

Perhaps they mean to say their image or way of believing Christ is different than others.

A couple of reasons:\n\nFirst, Jesus is the Savior of all mankind, so people tend to depict Jesus as one of their own, whatever race. It makes Him easier to relate to, perhaps.\n\nSecond, because the Bible says that Jesus was a descendant of King David who, as a boy was described this way:\n\n"He was ruddy , with a fine appearance and handsome features" (1 Samuel 16:12).\n\n"Ruddy" indicates a rosy appearance. How many races of people have that? As well, in Genesis 25:25 it is recorded that when the twins, Jacob (ie, Israel) and Esau, were born, Esau was covered with red hair. Same question. \n\nNow Jesus was way down the family line, and his lineage mentions people from other groups marrying into the tree, so Jesus could have been very white to rather brown. At the time though, he didn't have any appearance that set him apart from the appearance of his fellow Jews of the time.

Seems right. However, no one really knows the truth as to Jesus' real appearance. Isaiah gives a brief description but nothing was ever recorded when He walked the earth in human flesh.

I cant stand it when people think Jesus was a blue eyed blonde. That's what organized religion wants u to believe especially the Baptist. I believe he was dark skinned and had black hair. I am a white person with blonde hair and blue eyes and people get mad at me when I tell them this is what I think Jesus looked like.

That is your connection with the Lord. Sometims I see a lavender or mediterianian blue color in a pool of water when I get really deep in my meditation with the Lord. It's a good thing. The closer you get to God in your walk with Him the more He will show you when He feels you are ready for them.

He and his wife built Hope Place, a shelter for unwed mothers, on property near their home in rural Tennessee; they also founded the Alpha & Omega Ministry to sponsor a community development bank in Knoxville. "I'm trying to build up black people's morale, self-confidence and self-reliance to show them that the Jesus I'm talking about is real," White explained in Ebony.\n\nAlthough he took an hiatus from the pulpit in order to learn more about the art of preaching, White continued his missionary work among teenaged gang members, abused children, and young women seeking an alternative to abortion. He also tithed a good portion of his NFL income to several Baptist churches. Reflecting on his work in the Philadelphia Daily News, the "minister of defense" concluded: "The Bible says, 'Faith without works is dead.' That is just another way of saying: 'Put your money where your mouth is.'"
