I think it should matter what color he hasMystic-als said:I'm an african and I'm white. So maybe Jesus was also white?
What you think?
Nothing in the bible mentions his physical appearance. If he looked strikingly different from everyone else, i.e. he was white, or an albino, or was 10 feet tall, I think that would have been mentioned.Mystic-als said:I'm an african and I'm white. So maybe Jesus was also white?

nutshell said:Come on, people. Lets play nice. Royol has a good point that could turn into an interesting discussion if we weren't acting so high and mighty...
After all, what would Jesus say if he came down her and read these sarcastic posts???
royol said:The point I am trying to make, and what I would like to discuss is,
I maintain, that what is written in the bible and taken so seriously by all believers,
is not what actually happened, the words attributed to everyone is not what
they actually said, people use quotes from people in the bible as if they are the
very words they used.
I know that you know they did not speak English, had they, we may have been able to quote what they had said, but how many times has it been translated?
The way the bible is used so literally is wrong, very wrong, it is a guide, nothing more.
I don't think anyone will dispute this.royol said:English had not been 'Invented' when Jesus was alive, so he did not speak English...
Grantedroyol said:...when the Bible quotes Jesus, it is a rough translation of what he said...
Please cite your evidence to back up this point as many people do not agree with you on this point.royol said:...not the actual words he said...
Actually, you appear to think it is with a thread title "This may come as a surprise, but Jesus could not speak English."royol said:...it is not my place to tell you who you should hear...
royol said:English had not been 'Invented' when Jesus was alive, so he did not speak English,
when the Bible quotes Jesus, it is a rough translation of what he said not the actual words he said, so please do not hear Jesus when you hear the words, sorry.... you hear whoever you like, it is not my place to tell you who you should hear, hear George W if you like.

French Squire: An Englishman will not win this French tournament. English legs are unsteady on French soil.
French Squire: And because French wine is too much for English bellies.
French Squire: And most importantly, because the Pope himself is French.
Roland: [finally gives in] Well, the Pope may be French, but Jesus is English! You're on!
Mystic-als said:Yeah baby! hehehe Ummm. I mean.. No that would be against the rules and regulations stipulated in the RF guide to happy posting.
royol said:Does it say anywhere in the bible if Jesus looked like his Mother or his Father?
did he have any sisters or brothers? or was he an only child?
I wouldn't think he looked like his father, or we would know what God looked like,
it is a silly question really, because we don't even know what Jesus looked like,
was he gay? or did he just choose not to marry, I wonder if he was a virgin, I expect so, or you would have had all the women he had slept with trying to sell their stories to the newspapers.

Google said:Question: "Did Jesus have brothers and sisters (siblings)?"
Answer: The Bible never gives an exact count, but Jesus siblings are mentioned in several Bible verses. Matthew 12:46, Luke 8:19, and Mark 3:31 say that Jesus mother and brothers came to see Him. Jesus had four brothers: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas (Matthew 13:55). Jesus also had sisters, but they are not named or numbered (Matthew 13:55-56). In John 7:1-10, His brothers go on to the festival. In Acts 1:14, His brothers and mother pray for Him. Later in Galatians 1:19, it mentions that James was Jesus brother. The most natural conclusion of these passages is to interpret that Jesus had actual blood siblings. There is no Biblical reason to believe that these siblings are not the actual children of Mary and Joseph. They were obviously born after Jesus, because Jesus was born of a virgin (Isa 7:14; Luke 1:26-38).
