No they will not which is why the pope commissioned michealangelo to paint him as a european because before this time he was always depicted as an african and even today orthodox christians worship a Black Maddona. But they will listen to the anti christ who will be white.

Ok, Jesus is portrayed as white because of Western culture influence. Vatican felt that people wouldn't want to follow the son of god if he looked arabic or black.

No one really knows.\n\nThere is no credible evidence to support the claim.\n\n\n"While some historians consider Jesus to largely be a mythological and legendary entity, (Jesus freaks claim he exists)"\n\nSource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus

Jesus was a Jew.\n\nHe wasn't Black, \nHe wasn't White,\nHe wasn't Chinese,\nHe was a Jew.\n\nThe Bible is very clear on his heritage.\nSome people just choose to believe what they want to.\n(I'm not a Christian either, but this question has a very simple answer).

No.\n\nThey deny that Jesus has come in the flesh.

I have asked that question many times. Jesus did not say in the the 6th Chapter of John that his words are symbols, They are true body and true blood.

#1   I really hope you didn't just say that the bible is historical evidence (maybe it was just misread on my part) \nweather or not jesus was here on this planet is not the real question. there very well could have been a man fitting his description that lived on this planet. The real question is weather or not he is a divine being or not. If there was evidence of his exsistance your best shot would be through roman literature from jesus's contemporary period. not afterward, that would be tainted.

I DON'T KNOW DUDE BUT I THINK JESUS WAS BROWN ACCORDING TO THE AREA \nBUT THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM BECAUSE WE DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW JESUS LOOKS LIKE WE CARE ABOUT WHAT HIS WORKS AND TALKS ARE WHAT HE TOLD US AND WHAT HE WANT US TO BE SO I THINK THIS ISN'T A CRITICAL THING BRO.

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!

Sorry, I just think it's not true.  Jesus had a good message.  Martin Luther King had a better one.  I don't believe in supernatural things.

Well the lil piggy is wrong because jesus is not black he is white. And god would be white also.

Jesus was certainly colored. Many documents state that he was bronze-colored and others that he was reddish colored.

I am actually not sure whether the bible mentions the skin color of Adam or Eve at all. It only says that they were created in God's image, and that's that. \nI have read a rather interesting web site that attempts to answer questons about race, genetics etc from a christian, biblically based point of view, if you need more thorough answers, that would be a good place to start.

artistic license.  What Jesus actually looked like is unknown.  He was definately of Middle Eastern decent.  He most likely was unshaven.  He probably had shorter hair (as was the common jewish style at the time) unlike the long haired interpretations.

Well, according to American Standards, one drop of "black blood" makes a person black. Jesus was decended from David through Soloman. Solomans mother, Sheba, was Black, and from the royal family of Sheba, a nation of very dark (and in her case FIONE) people.  Therefore, by American standards, Jesus was indeed black. In Revelation, Jesus brother describes him as having "Skin of copper and hair of wool" sounds like a black man to me!!!\n\n(and I'm white BTW)
