dragon14 said:And by the way... the letter "J" did not appear until the 16th century. So Jesus was not born "Jesus"... but most likely "Yeshua".
latinus_spicticus said:BULLSHIT! Jesus has blonde hair and blue eyes, just go into any Catholic church and you will see. One time I told an ex-gf (who was ultra christian, and at the time was bagging on middle-easterners) that Jesus was a "camel-jockey", and backed it up with historical evidence. She became IRATE and our relationship went downhill faster than you can say heysoos.
WODIN said:Dragons pic is from a Discovery special which was very cool. It's probably closer than anything else.
MattTheSkywalker said:Wow. As if the appearance REALLY matters at all.
Jesus was a middle eastern Jew. Of course he was dark skinned.

Jesus was born and raised among the Israelites of that time. To say that Jesus was a jew is misleading. He was a threat to the jews and they let the Romans execute him even though Pontius Pilate offered to set him free they refused.

where do you get this stuff?? Jews were around 2500 years BC....
Jesus was known as "rebbe" (rabbi) to his followers. It's hebrew word spoken then (as now) by Jews.
Jesus was as much a Jew as any modern day rabbi.

Jesus spoke Aramaic, not hebrew. And "rebbe"? Was "shekky" already taken, lol?

The whole myth of the Jews killing Jesus was the backbone of church doctrine for a ong time. The Romans killed him. Emperor Constantine invented Christinaity about 315 AD, and it was important to delineate Christianity from Judaism.

anabolicmd said:
The jews handed Christ to the Romans, and when Pontius Pilate offered to free him, the jews chose to free Barabbas instead. The Romans pulled the trigger but the jews killed him, or better they had the Romans crucify him.
anabolicmd said:Anyway, the Bible seems pretty clear on the subject:
". . . of the Jews: Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sin alway: For the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost."
I Thessalonians 2:14-16
"After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: For He would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill Him."
(7:1, 11:53-54)
There are many other passages.
MattTheSkywalker said:Jesus's true aspirations were probably revolution against Rome, or else a political role where the jews would be allowed extensive self-governance.
anabolicmd said:. You can call it propaganda but the bible is very clear about the jews being responsible for Jesus' death. Did they not hand him over, and did they not free him when Pontius Pilate made the offer? Please answer me on that point.

The Jews were looking for a Messiah, and the Messiah prophecies include his coming to conquer and set up his kingdom. So they were looking for a rebel/military ruler. But Jesus saw the prophecies as split in two sections. The first pertaining to his first coming where he offered sacrafice and BECAME DESERVING of being Messiah.
and then the Second Coming where he took on the full mantel of his Messiah powers and set up his kingdom.
Jesus goal in his first coming was NOT revolution.
That's exactly why many of the Jews wanted him killed.
As for whether Jesus was himself a Jew, he was descended of the house of David, King of the Jews, which automatically makes him a member of one of the premier Jewish families.
Both the old and new testaments are heavily doctored to represent Roman interests at the time.
