Even after research into the skin colour and looks of 1st century AD Jews shows they were not white blonde people, Africans still following slave master instruction. Nawa o.

Some will soon come and say it doesn't matter how he looked like.

If so, why not make him look like Dim Ojukwu, Bola Ahmed Tinubu or another dark-skinned African?

You have to show your stupidity as always.

Advice to Africans: If you MUST erect a statue to venerate at least erect one that looks like you. Don't make the most visible image in your community that of a white man. It speaks of low self esteem and gross stupidity. THINK. AFRICANS. THINK.

No one knows what Jesus looked like yet we erect statues of 'Jesus'. What if the statue is of satan, how do we know? Yet we venerate statues ...

. I don't want to be guilty of the word "raka". There were artists in those days n of course they saw Jesus n drew him on walls n scroll

Worshipping of statue is equal to worshipping of idol. So, I will take it as they are worshipping idol.

YEEBOOS embarrassing the black race since 12 A.D

please, your point could be better struck, but use the internet to your strength and read views on issues properly, the presence of the christian mission (both Anglican n catholic) in south eastern Nigeria is bigger than any part of the country and south easterners spread their generosity to this mission every part of the country they set settles FACT!!!
do you know? "Côte d'Ivoire President Félix Houphouët-Boigny chose his birthplace of Yamoussoukro to be the future site of the new capital city of his country in 1983. As part of the plan of the city, the president wanted to memorialize himself with the construction of what he called the greatest church in the world" "The Basilica of Our Lady of Peace (French: Basilique Notre-Dame de la Paix) is a Catholic minor basilica dedicated to Our Lady of Peace in Yamoussoukro, the administrative capital of Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). The basilica was constructed between 1985 and 1989 at a cost of US$300 million", and dont forget Less than a third of Côte d'Ivoire's population are Christian

U r, at least it seems to be, on point. But the issue is that Cote d'Ivoire seem a wide pole distant apart from 9ija on the matter on ground here. No correlation at all. With all due respect Sir. Ur points r NOT bad. God help us in 9ija.

I wonder if the statue is really in their heart... Mind you, that Jesus in the book of my bible story dont have long hair. Na which one be real Jesus oooo. Different pix everywhere

And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. [9] And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

thank you!

When the Muslims go crazy over people depicting the picture of their holy prophet Muhammed (saw), ppl kept crying foul over nothing whereas, they were right. I wouldn't support violence of any form but Charlie Hebdo issue went too far cox I believe the holy prophet alive wouldn't ask anyone to kill another - that aside. Reading thru comments here, I see ppl (Christians) not being happy about statues depicting Jesus and someone even brought out a verse where such is condemned. It goes to show that our pastors haven't done enough to understand what they teach! Why would we acclaim an actor whose job got forgotten and was taken to be d "real" Christ. U go to churches seeing this pictures and ppl acknowledging it as their lord n God? Isn't this d same idol we got warned by God not to worship? Y'all believed Jesus but got lost in idolizing another man as him. Such a lost lost world

The love for money and sex in this day and age is that not a graven image so many people have erected in their hearts, as if it is only when you look at a statue that you have worshipped an idol. Leave the statue alone for those who need it.

[size=28pt]Did JESUS CHRIST ask for any statue?
That is not JESUS CHRIST, but an idol.[/size]

I know Jesus was not a white man. To hide His African origin / race was one of the major reasons why the book of Enoch was removed from the bible!

if i can know how julius cesear, pontius pilate, Constantine, etc looks like why won't i know how Jesus looks like.

remember Jesus was a Roman citizen, jew and you know the Romans and civilization (carving of stones, sculptures, etc) and you're also remember that Jesus was popular thus possibility of famous sculptors will carve or paint him and also remember how white preserves history so your arguments holds no water but that status is definitely not Jesus
