Why is যীশু almost always potrayed as white?

As a person who is NOT white, I am a little offended and upset that pictures of যীশু mostly প্রদর্শনী Him of white race. No one knows what race He really is, so আপনি could at least make him a little browner, and not have silky, brown hair all the time. Techinically, যীশু is all the races.

যীশু উত্তর

FeelmySwagger said:
Well যীশু was born in Bethlehem, in the nation Israel and seeing that all israelis are whites they made যীশু white.I'm black too. He came to renew the sins of the then sinners and gentiles but as Christ gave the commission for the disciples to preach to all the nations thats how খ্রীষ্টধর্ম spred. But যীশু was of white israeli's origin but expanded this mandate to all the world. Im sure u see now why he is almost always portrayed as white. this should help

যীশু was a Jew. At that time I would think that he would have had a bit darker complexion, simular to the arabs. Alot of Israel is white because they were dispeares and intermarried with people from other nationalities. আপনি have to remember, the majority of the Jews in Israel today came from/or thier parents from ইউরোপ and Russia. What the exact pigment of his skin was, we don't know. We do know that he came to save all men from all races. আপনি could say his প্রণয় is color blind.

I agree with the first sentence. যীশু would have been brown skinned, not white. He is being portrayed as white probably because those who did the paintings were likely white.

Because, as আপনি know, when black শিশুরা are born, they are born white and then darken. Seeing as যীশু cannot age, for He is immortal, he is white.

*Technically* this is true. White is often used as a symbol for good অথবা pure. Note that I am *not* trying to be racist with this, I am merely stating the facts.

He's a Jew. He was born in a region of people of that race so that's the (external) race that God gave to him.

It maybe how the European Christians in the Middle Ages portrayed him. But I, and others, believe that since he is a Jew, he most likely doesn't have light skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes, he probably has darker skin, hair, and eyes.

Originally যীশু is African but there are আরো white Christians than black and খ্রীষ্টধর্ম first started in a white country so the white people introduced খ্রীষ্টধর্ম to the black

The reason why people portrayed him as white is because it was at Europe, where the belief is (at the time): the whiter আপনি are the purer. It also explains many other historical injustices (i.e slavery).
