How Jesus became white

>>3218840
This should really be a non-issue. Every single culture adopts Jesus to look like themselves, from Ethiopia to china and beyond.

No, it is not, it's Christian tradition for artistic depictions of Jesus to resemble the local people. This is done in every single Christian society in the world.

>>3218893
It really doesn't though. The teachings of Jesus don't put any emphasis on race so it's pointless to argue over the race of Jesus himself.

I doubt the tendency towards chesnut hair and light leans strongly in the Mediterranean even back then.

>>3218937
Sure having a single template disseminated as the image of God does nothing to peoples thoughts on it and there is no conflict between contemporary Christian culture which exhorts being a conservative male with nicely cropped hair over being a long haired hippy yet the image of the supposed savior with the power to punish you for not doing this can't be bothered to cut his own hair.

>>3218840
Jesus is depicted accurately. People from the Levant look like that.

The reason why it's not an accurate portrayal is proven by the fact that you are retarded.

Adam is white, Jesus is white end of the discussion.
It could be ultimately derived from Hebrew אדם ('adam) meaning "to be red", referring to the ruddy colour of human skin, or from Akkadian adamu meaning "to make". According to Genesis in the Old Testament Adam was created from the earth by God (there is a word play on Hebrew אֲדָמָה ('adamah) "earth").

Anyone claiming Jesus is black is a heretic, to be black or negro is a literal curse that Noah cast.

That picture is actually fairly interesting. Its King Abdullah I of Jordan and the dark men behind him are actually Habbani Jews (Jews from a small community in Yemen) who were brothers and served as his bodyguards.

I really prefer the stylistic depiction (pic related) of Christ (and the Theotokos) to more modern interpretations.

While I understand the desire to portray the two as sort of perfect humans, certain attempts at realistic portrayals of them as perfect humans can serve to arouse blasphemous thoughts in the beholder (e.g. some statues of Mary that are deliberately made physically attractive).

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Mostly seems directed at producing statues and carved reliefs and worshiping them which is why Jews produced some mosaics and frescos. Only contemporary fundamentalists would want to take it literally.

Ethiopian churches even make some lighter depictions of biblical characters. Many of their Jesus images follow the popular template.

Jesus is literally God who chose to come to earth in Judea, doesn't mean God is Jewish you dumb cunts stop arguing about it.

Stoopidest argument ever

>>3219499
>graven
You do realize this adjective isn't a pejorative, as in 'dont draw any fuckin pictures of me, human', but rather engraved. This also extends to carved and casted most likely. Whether this extends to painting is dubious but possible.

Also note the second sentence:
>Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God
The first clause is a synecdoche. It does not mean literally 'do not bow in front of images', but rather 'do not bow and worship'.
The adjective 'jealous' is also key: this clause is reinforcing the previous two. In short, it is stating not to worship an image rather than God. Do not serve an image. Having an image of Christ is fine, because the image itself is not the object of worship.

Pretty sure he has a long nape if you look hard enough but Afro Jesus is also popular though.

Well the consistency is probably due to the trail of transmission from Rome. Pre Constantine there was great variation.

>>3220533
You can have a nape and an afro. I've seen it. The guy sculpted it with hair wax.
