So what colour was Jesus? By Giles Wilson BBC News Online Magazine Jesus, ancient and modern A traditional Jesus, left, and the BBC's image of what he might have looked like Jesus has been named the top black icon by the New Nation newspaper. Their assertion that Jesus was black has raised eyebrows in some quarters - so what colour was he? Just as no one will ever produce proof for the existence of God, the question of Jesus's colour may always be a matter for personal belief. Was he white, white-ish, olive-skinned, swarthy, dark-skinned or black? There are people who believe he was any one of those shades, but there seem to be only two things about the debate that can be said with any degree of certainty. First - if the past 2,000 years of Western art were the judge, Jesus would be white, handsome, probably with long hair and an ethereal glow. Second - it can almost certainly be said that Jesus would not have been white. His hair was also probably cut short. I think the safest thing is to talk about Jesus as 'a man of colour' Yet the notion that Jesus was black - highlighted this week in a survey of black icons by the New Nation newspaper which ranked him at number one - is genuinely held by some. One school of thought has it that Jesus was part of a tribe which had migrated from Nigeria. And Jesus probably did have some African links - after all the conventional theory is that he lived as a child in Egypt where, presumably, his appearance did not make him stand out. Blue-eyed and brown-eyed Jesus Blue-eyed Robert Powell, left, and brown-eyed Jim Caviezel The New Nation takes it further: "Ethiopian Christianity, which pre-dates European Christianity, always depicts Christ as an African and it generally agreed that people of the region where Jesus came from looked nothing like Boris Johnson," the paper says. As light-hearted evidence that Jesus was black, it adds that he "called everybody 'brother', liked Gospel, and couldn't get a fair trial". But the truth, says New Testament scholar Dr Mark Goodacre, of the University of Birmingham, is probably somewhere in between. "There is absolutely no evidence as to what Jesus looked like," he says. "The artistic depictions down the ages have total and complete variation, which indicates that nobody did a portrait of Jesus or wrote down a description, it's all been forgotten." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/3958241.stm 1 Like |

What if these scientists finally traces Jesus to Hausa/Fulanis( afterall Jesus reared animals also)? ...just been curious anyway! Could this be the reason why all Christian politicians ( Obassanjo and Jonathan et-al) contesting against a Muslim aspirants in Nigeria are usually tagged MESAIERH- a title for Jesus? 5 Likes |

aventura:and what are you? European? U super-inferiority complex riddled being! The misconception that the whites read better than us has etched into ur brain that u av to quote that text and biliving it like the bible, thereby condemning ur own just cos the white man says so? Ur statement worked in the colonial and slave era days wen black people don't av much education. Besides, if u see how difficult it is for whites to grab a book and read, u'll be amazed.

Yes Jesus is black, he was described in the bible... "His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters." (Revelation 1:14-15). <<<His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace. A burnt brass [black] Secondly, Christ was from the tribe of Judah, an Israelite, Israelites are black people, thank God the truth is finally coming out. "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." (Lamentations 4:8 ). "Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine." (Lamentations 5:10). "Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up." (Jeremiah 14:2). "My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat." (Job 30:30). "I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon." (Song of Songs 1:5). And finally those peeps in Israel now aint the Israelites in the bible. "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. " (Revelation 2:9). "Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. " (Revelation 3:9). "Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in unclothedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee." (Deuteronomy 28:48). 3 Likes
