I think the question should start from there! but they all jumped it.

Rennee:

Jesus could have been White, Black or Asian... but don't drag Mary and Joseph into this, Jesus was of virgin birth.

macof:


This is rather the issue we should be addressing nt claims that have been debunked severely as false

Iluv:


I cant believe you have actually been swallowing poo.

If you claim to know the bible to the extent of knowing the book of revelation is based on imagination, then you should also know clearly that Jesus resurrected from the tomb(not grave) note the difference between tomb and grave. He was never buried.

so how them wan take exhume him body for you to do ur scientific test

Your case proves more the fact OP is creating awareness on. Blacks are gullible and have grown with this perception of what Jesus is. If you can open up your mind a bit, then you may discover how powerful you can be with reasoning properly.

bigfrancis21:
It is time for the black race to rise and claim what is theirs. History has been distorted extensively to downplay the contributions of the black people to humanity and ancient power of the black race. This article is on the distorted fact about the physical characteristics of Jesus Christ, the man who is said to have walked the eart some 2000 years ago. The bible is silent as to the race or skin colouration of Jesus Christ but it left enough allegory to the physical characteristics of Jesus in several verses of the bible that indicates the Jesus may have been a black man, and not the white, blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus that many have been made to believe. In the first place, the image of a white-skinned, blonde haired, blue-eyed Jesus is totally untrue given that modern-day Jews (for the sake of debunking that myth) who are middle-eastern in origin and have dark hair, dark eyes and tanned skins.

Here are verses from the bible that indicate the actual physical characteristics of Jesus:

1) Revelation 1:15 ESV

His feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace , and his voice was like the roar of many waters.

To start with, for those unfamiliar with the word or metal 'bronze', the colour of bronze is brown.

.

When bronze is heated at high temperatures in a furnace, it turns further darker brown.

Below is an image of a burnished bronze coloured foot:

Below is an image of bronze after being burned and refined in a fire:



The feet of a caucasian or middle-eastern origin man spending some days in the desert would look like this:

[img]http://santatizing.files./2013/05/feet-sandals.jpg[/img]

The colour of his feet is no where or close to the colour of bronze, before or after being heated in a furnace. The arabic/middle-eastern people of Egypt today who live in a hot desert climate with temperature as high as 44c in July/August are merely 'tanned' in their skin complexion and are nowhere close in complexion to the colour of burnished bronze. For if Jesus of the bible was of middle eastern origin, the colour of his feet had to be ascribed the colour of ivory, which is an off-white colour or some other colour resembling a middle-easterner. Negroid people are known to turn blacker in the presence of extended living in hot sunshine due to the natural production of Melanin. Jesus, just like other Negorids, had to have been, at least, brown-skinned, in the first place.

2) Revelation 1:13-14 ESV

And in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.

Of all races, only the black man's hair when grown resembles wool. The hair of asiatic/european peoples are known to be long, flowy and wavy.
Below is an image of wool:


Below is a picture of a black man wearing his naturally 'wooly' hair in texture and white in colour:


Meanwhile this is the so-called image of Jesus Christ being paraded worldwide having 'blonde' hair (meanwhile the bible says his hair was 'white' in colour), wavy and long (and the bible says it was 'wooly' in texture). You see how the distortion of facts have been subtly made for hundred of years that they are now believed to be true?


3) Isaiah 53:2 ESV

For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.

4) Daniel 10:5-6 ESV

I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a man clothed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist. His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude.

In this verse, not only were the feet of Jesus ascribed to be bronze-like in colour but his entire legs and arms. The last time I checked the human leg is the lower-body portion extending from the hip bone that includes the feet and thighs and the arms are the upper limbs of the body extending from the shoulder region to the hands. This verse describes the arms and legs of Jesus to be like burnished bronze and we all know that the legs and arms of any body bears the same colour as his entire body, which indicates that Jesus was a black man.

Not just once but multiple times in the bible were the feet of Jesus Christ been ascribed to be brown or bronze-coloured by different men of the bible.

5) Genesis 49:10-12 ESV

The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until tribute comes to him; and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples. Binding his foal to the vine and his donkey's colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine and his vesture in the blood of grapes. His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.

The bible in this verse gives the actual colour of Jesus' eyes to be darker than wine. While dark eyes is common to every race, this particular verse debunks the image of a blue-eyed Jesus Christ that has infiltrated the world for hundreds of years.



6) Daniel 7:9 ESV

“As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire.

Another bible verse indicating the hair texture and colour of Jesus' hair.



7) 1 Corinthians 11:14 ESV

Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him,

Here is a bible verse opposing the wearing of long hair as 'disgrace' and as 'unnatural' which indicates that 'long hair' must have been 'unnatural' or 'uncommon' to the ancient hebrews and attempts to make their hair long by artifical means whatsoever were rebuked as 'unnatural' or going against the very natural nature of their hair being 'wooly' in texture.

Note: the bible never left clues or pointers to Jesus having caucasoid/european features whatsoever. The representation of Jesus and ancient hebrews as 'whites' today became prevalent during the Renaissance period between 14th to 17th centuries, when people in arts and paintings depicting scenes from the bible were represented as 'whites', which unfortunately has stuck around since then. From bible evidence, Jesus Christ may have looked similar to this:

Rennee:

Jesus could have been White, Black or Asian... but don't drag Mary and Joseph into this, Jesus was of virgin birth.

Ibime:


The middle East is what it was in terms of skin colour

Its the Jews who have become whiter due to their sojourn in Europe.

The Jews of Jesus time resemble the Arabs we know today

Jeremiah 13:23 - Can an Ethiopian change his skin or a Leopard it's spots?

So the Jews were not African-skinned, neither were they European-skinned.

......cc Mr President....bigfrancis.....Blindness is happened to Israel until the "fullness" of the Gentiles....Op dont worry they would be rudely awakened when that Pope shows up and manifest himself as God in Jerusalem sitting on the sides of the North, anyways good job you have done, google Project Bluebeam and see the Great deception that is going to unfold, there's a reason why you have a Google translator its all part of the deception, I was born in Nigeria or in Ham's land but i've been awakened to the truth that i'm a natural and spiritual Hebrew Israelite....op you can email me along to those awakened lets chat about our heritage and things to come...Shalom yall

Fulaman198:


You are aware that the Ethiopians have a Jewish group of people known as the Falashas right? What if they are the original jews? Their practises are much older than any other Jewish group existing today.

In regards to Arabs, which Arabs? There are many black Arabs in Oman, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, etc. and those countries are truly Arab. Countries like Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, etc. don't possess "true" Arabs.

tevinsolt:


black Arabs are descendants of African slaves, did you learn anything on Global history in school?

Weah96:



May the God of somebody help you. How are you a Hebrew Israelite again? Even if blacks were called Hebrews before, and I doubt it, how does that make you a Hebrew now in 2015?

OrlandoOwoh:

Egypt and other north Africa countries (Maghrib) was originally populated by the Berbers, not the light-skinned people we have today.

kobonaire:

… Why do we have the most corrupt government system, public/private system and why are we accepting of it as a people? The only think holding a black man back is the black man himself.

Weah96:



OK, so let's drag the virgin into the discussion. How can a virgin give birth to a human being without receiving milk from the nutsack of a male human? Can a male human being impregnate the wind? Did the man shoot the liquid from a distance to preserve her virginity?

I don't blame you. Women must be smarter than men for real. Imagine a girl standing in front of her father and telling him that it was God and not a human being who impregnated her. Tufia!!

kobonaire:
wow - your very first post on NairaLand ..... you are welcome by the way .... though I'm pretty sure you have another NL ID....

Your new ID caught my eye as I know someone with that name

ddefoe:
Black or white, it doesn't matter to me.all I know is that he is my saviour! Come to think of it, Jesus is jewish and jews are not black, they re more caucusian than negroid and so I don't see the need trying hard to make him look black.its not important

Fulaman198:


Hold on a second, what is Nigerian black? Are you implying that you and I are the same kind of black?

Fulaman198:

Horus:
The world debates the question: "What race was the Messiah Jesus?" But the answer is clearly laid out in your New Testament.

Let's check it out..

1. Act 13:1 . Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger ,and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

2 Niger of course in Latin defines the word Black

"The etymology of the word 'niger' is from the Latin word for 'black'. In botanical nomenclature, where the species name is niger, this indicates that some aspect of the organism is black

3. Simeon was the brother of Jesus

Matthew 13:55: "Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simeon , and Judas?"
Mark 6:3: "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him."

4. So, if Simon (Simeon) was called Niger meaning black and is the brother of Jesus then guess what? Jesus is black too!
