If you think about it, post-Christian Jews aren't "Jews" either if you accept Jesus as the prophesized Messiah and New Covenant in the Tanakh. They are deniers of their own prophesy from a Christian perspective.

It's a waste of my time even considering what Jesus looked like. It doesn't matter to me. He is someone I should strive to imitate morally, ethically, spiritually, etc.; but not look like.
And social media / internet dorks who post bullshite videos or comments supposedly showing their favorite politician, influencer, online hero, etc. "owning" someone else - should probably step away from the screens, go someplace calm and quiet, and practice some introspection / relf-realization; take a mirror, if that helps.

correct. we do know essentially what Jesus looked like because modern science can clearly tell us what Iron age Jews of the Southern Levant looked like. but the left doesnt care about truth at all. they only care about pushing false narratives to gaslight people into accepting their insane political ideas. no, jesus was not a black socialist.

Practically every representation of Jesus in popular culture or in Western European iconography has portrayed him as white with long, flowing hair
So, you have never been to church with predominately black congregations. Cool.

Especially true in popular culture, including tv, movies, etc.
Overwhelming bulk of actors were white during filming and "black face", even to get the actor more tanned, is a no-no.
Thems your rules, not ours.

You know who was whiter than white according to religious text?

Birth and Heritage:
Born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth as a 1st-century Galilean Jew.
Religious Customs:
Followed Jewish law, observed the Sabbath, celebrated festivals like Passover, and was addressed as a rabbi (teacher).
Worship:
Prayed and preached regularly in Jewish synagogues and the Temple in Jerusalem.
Historical Context:
Christianity as a distinct, separate religion did not exist during Jesus' lifetime.
His early followers and disciples were also entirely Jewish, and the movement began as a renewal or internal branch within Judaism before evolving into Christianity after his death

I said nothing of the sort. Here is exactly what I posted snowflake

I believe Jesus looked something like this or similar to this
Also, how well do you know The Bible? It tells us Jesus was not a handsome man so the idea of the long flowing hair and chiseled model like face is complete bullshite.
Lastly, European Jews were not the Israelites in The Bible.
If you are an actual Christian none of this should trigger you.

That's like saying atheist-believer values. They're diametrically opposed to each other
That is absolutely false.
"Values" extend way beyond religious beliefs.
Atheists are defined simply by a lack of belief in supernatural beings. That is it.
There are plenty of atheists who are conservative, anti-abortion, law abiding, etc, etc.
Some of your neighbors and co-workers are atheist, but you are just unaware of it. They live their lives pretty much exactly like you live yours, except they don't go to church.

“Asian” is so fricking stupid.
Russians are Asian. Chinese are Asian. Indians are Asian.
Just say Oriental.
And argue Jesus’ skin and eye color all you want, but seriously doubt he had Oriental eye features.

The biggest lie Christians were ever brainwashed into believing
Christianity did not exist during Jesus' lifetime bro.
His mother, Mary was a Jew.
He spoke Aramaic.
He was circumcised on the eighth day according to Jewish law.
He attended synagogue regularly and read from Jewish scriptures.
He celebrated traditional Jewish traditions - Passover etc.
He was addressed by His followers as Rabbi or teacher.
I suppose we could go on and on, but I'm sure you get it.

that image is not even claimed to be Jesus. Its a quasi-scientific model of what a 30 year old man from the region in that era may have looked like. Its based primarily on bone structure from archeological finds. Key attributes like complexion and hair were assumed or based on biblical text.
We don't know what Jesus looked like, but we know WHO he looked like. See my post about the Samaritans.

Been in church all my life and don't think I've heard a word of concern either way. I think the common sense approach is that he looked like all the other people of the region he was born in.

That applies to the people who believe it's impossible Jesus was white. It is, in fact, very possible.
When you say "white," you mean in the sense that I'm white? Like, Caucasian, of European descent?
Because that's not very possible at all.

Yes which is why I included in my post the words similar, maybe, might, look like not “this is what Jesus looked like”
We know he wasn’t handsome and didn’t have straight hair from biblical text. This topic shouldn’t trigger any real actual Christians. We will never know what Jesus looked like.
