jesus
was jesus black? :-\

Comments
if he was black, someone would've mentioned it in the Gospels.
The real question is why does it matter if he was or wasn't black? Jesus is perfectly human and perfectly God. Any minor physical details distracts us from the beauty of His love, His humility, His power, and His salvation. In this lent period, let us search for Him spiritually.
QFT. Jesus is neither black nor white; He is God Incarnate.

No reason to get all technical. He is asking about his ethnicity and the answer is no. He was a middle eastern Hebrew and he was a Jew. Color wise he was "tan".

I was not trying to be technical; I was making a point in that we should look to Jesus not for what He is, but who He is.
Well if Jesus wasn't black how come he had swag?
Would you please define the word "swag"?
Should be neither black nor white
Please elaborate.

It's amazing how they always find this site. I don't know why they think this is the best possible place to advertise.
I KNOW!
