A Black Jesus?!
Who wants to see THAT? MrsPhoenix
sharei dont know if you were being sarcastic but all you have to do is read the book of revelations in the new testament and you will get a physical description of jesus.
shareReally? What does it exactly say?

HAHAHHAHAHA
shareThis is all it really says. Not much to go on, if you ask me.
"There appeared in these our days a man, of the Jewish Nation, of great virtue, named Yeshua [Jesus], who is yet living among us, and of the Gentiles is accepted for a Prophet of truth, but His own disciples call Him the Son of God- He raiseth the dead and cureth all manner of diseases. A man of stature somewhat tall, and comely, with very reverent countenance, such as the beholders may both love and fear, his hair of (the colour of) the chestnut, full ripe, plain to His ears, whence downwards it is more orient and curling and wavering about His shoulders. In the midst of His head is a seam or partition in His hair, after the manner of the Nazarenes. His forehead plain and very delicate; His face without spot or wrinkle, beautified with a lovely red; His nose and mouth so formed as nothing can be reprehended; His beard thickish, in colour like His hair, not very long, but forked; His look innocent and mature; His eyes grey, clear, and quick- In reproving hypocrisy He is terrible; in admonishing, courteous and fair spoken; pleasant in conversation, mixed with gravity. It cannot be remembered that any have seen Him Laugh, but many have seen Him Weep. In proportion of body, most excellent; His hands and arms delicate to behold. In speaking, very temperate, modest, and wise. A man, for His singular beauty, surpassing the children of men"
I think it's funny that Jesus is usually portrayed as being european though probably understandable since christianity was centered in europe for so long. Really Jesus was probably niether black nor white but most likely resembled a modern Arab. Jesus wasn't black or white how do you like them apples .)
shareDID YOU KNOW THAT CHRISTIANITY WAS IN ETHIOPIA FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS BEFORE IT EVERY WENT TO EUROPE. IN FACT THE ETHIOPIAN CHURCH IS THE OLDEST IN THE WORLD. IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST CHRISTIAN KINGDOM IN THE WORLD SO BITE ON DEM APPLES. ALSO ISREAL WAS AN EXTENSION OF AFRICAN DURING JESUS TIME THAT IS WHY WHEN HIS FAMILY FLED THEY WENT AND HIDE AMONG THE EGYPTIAN PEOPLE WHICH ARE DARK SKINNED PEOPLE. ARABS WERE NOT MUSLIM AT THE TIME BUT PAGAN WORSHIPPERS AND THEY WERE AT THE SOUTHERN PART OF ARABIA (SAUDI ARABIA). ARAB MUSLIM DID NOT ENTER AFRICA UNTIL 600 B.C. HUNDREDS OF YEARS AFTER JESUS DIED. I THINK HE HAD NEOLITHIC FEATURES. LIKE PEOPLE OF EAST AFRICA

technically the oldest church is in Thessalonica because that is when it was first called "the Church."

Ummm...that doesn't sound like a man with "African" features.
It is likely John of Patmos (John the Divine), who wrote the Book of Revelation, was NOT John the Apostle, and that Revelation was written sometime between 70 and 95 AD, meaning it is quite possible he never knew, much less saw, Jesus. So, while Revelation is supposed to be a vision from God, it's certainly not clear that John's physical description of Jesus was anything but his own interpretation of the vision. Besides, what DIFFERENCE does it make WHAT color Jesus was?!!! His skin color has nothing to do with His message. In the infamous words of Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?" Do you REALLY think a bigot will live eternal life in Heaven? Think about it, people.
