Read that dudes twitter, holy cow is he a bigot looking for validation.

Validation means followers making him money.

Jesus was dark-skinned, as were most middle-eastern men of the time. He wasn't black. That's idiotic...as is the blonde, blue-eyed imagery.

He also has a statement about not being judged by the color of your skin but the continent of one's character.

Everyone draws Jesus to look like YOU, when he looks like JEW

We have very little knowledge about skin color of Israeli Jews at this time.

They were obviously not Caucasian.

Did the look more like today's NYC jews? Were they more Arian thanks to the Babylonian influence? Were they darker, more like the Moors?

We just don't know.

And it really doesn't matter.

And he was so indistinguishable from everyone else Judas had to give a sign to point him out from the crowd.

He didn't say, he's the guy with the dreadlocks.

I've never seen a depiction of Jesus as a light skinned, blonde haired, blue eyed "surfer" dude.

Ever.

A quick google search indicates his net worth may be in the millions and he is a deadbeat dad owing 10s of thousands in back child support.

David was "ruddy" complexion. There were multiple red heads in his lineage.
He was likely relatively pale skinned but could have been dark also. Ruth was probably dark but the rest of the family was probably palish.

Me neither. Now, I was in a Mormon church and their picture of Jesus was pretty fair complected with blue eyes, but not blonde and no "surfer dude" look to him.

Most of the depictions are dark haired and dark skinned for a germanic person. The degree of dark is one you'd see in the native Western European population. But who cares. People should imagine and conceive the pictures that help their own personal connection.

Perhaps he should revisit:
Quote:

Galatians 3:28 King James Version (KJV 1900)

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Fairly certain that would cover black and white as well.

I listened then-NAACP President once in Austin (forget the name. I think Julian bond). Approx 2002-2005). It was then I realized just how bIgoted and racist that movement is. Seems like this guy is of the same hate-filled beliefs.

I think the pastors tweet was more of acknowledging and informative. Nothing in his tweet suggest he was saying people only worship because they thought he was of a particular race. People around this time of year tend to point out some of the historical inaccuracies surrounding the Xmas holiday.
America was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original Native American was an inferior race.

I know this is amusing, but if you think about it, Christ likely wasn't the emaciated person many current drawings and statues depict him as. He was a carpenter which required a lot of physical strength in those days.

He sounds like a real Christian.

I think Jesus Christ didn't really exist and they used Krishna, the Indian diety from even earlier and took stories from his life and modified and created it. Read it, life stories are very similar, even the name seems similar.

The use of wypipo in his twitter sermons is particularly informative.

Xmas? There it is.

No "Christ" in Christmas anymore, just Malcolm X.

No.

The claim that "Christ" comes from Krishna is completely baseless, because Christ is Greek for "anointed one" and Krishna is an unrelated personal name.

Actually "X" is the Greek letter for Christ, so it's just fine to use.

No it isn't. Greek letter for a "C"

Our Blessed Lord did not look like this unwashed orangutan. In fact, we know exactly what He looked like, as He left us an image on the shroud of Turin.

As for this heretical fake "bishop" all I can say is "seethe more"

Is there anything from a leftist race hustler you won't defend?

Well before we can say what Jesus looked like perhaps we should ask what his father looked like. The reality is he was widely recognized so I am betting he looked a bit different than most others but at the end of the day it does not really matter.

This. The renaissance painters, drew Jesus as a European, mainly due to the fact that that it is the only identity they were familiar with. Find a true Palestinian (some Palestinians have been in the Levant since the time of Jesus), that would be the face of Jesus.
