What Did Jesus REALLY Look Like? Ethnicity, Hair, Skin, Eyes, Body Type.

We have all seen images of Jesus and have an over all idea of what he looks like. But do we really? What does the earliest iconography show? How has his image changed over the centuries? And most importantly why? Is there a way to go back to the early original historical truth?

[@luvthetruth4ever136]

I'm a black woman from the West Indies. Unfortunately in today's society, any disagreement or lack of support on certain opinions, agenda, politics etc, is considered racist. Racism does not mean the same anymore, as it has become very political. I care more about facts, truth and Salvation through Jesus Christ. I care not what skin color he was in when on the earth, or what his appearance was. I care that he revealed himself to me and that I accept him.

[@DavidGodwinCalico]

I always thought that there is no description of Jesus is because Jesus is for everyone. What he looks like isn't important and to try and put him in a specific ethnicity is to make him and his message specifically for those people, which I don’t believe is what he is about. Jesus is for everyone.

[@bearfootbears1891]

If you are from the West Indies, you certainly do not consider yourself "black!" It has been long held and proven by Black Americans that dark skin people from nearly any part of the world INCLUDING America, who are NOT Black Americans, do NOT consider themselves "black," meaning, Black American. People from the West Indies are notoriously known for their making sure they differentiate themselves from Black Americans. So, it's no wonder you hold the opinion people being called out as racists these days are victims of a political agenda. When a Black American points out what he/she believes to be a racist, there is a 99.9 percent chance that the person identified as a racist IS a racist! To be clear, I, as a Black American, do NOT believe Metatron to be racist. I believe his KZbin posts are intellectual, well researched, and well-articulated. So, before you or anyone else tries to "go there," Don't! My comment here is directed at you and any other person from the West Indies!

Some people can't stand the sun bcuz of their skin color so they are the ones in danger of extinction not us. We were built to withstand the sun thanks to The Creator who made us so. The Talmud is not a book that I trust to begin with. I know that, just like the Bible it has been tampered with and corrupted by the wazungus. You see, before the arrival of the Messiah my people will have to go through a process. One of the process or signs is that we will start waking up from our slumber ( ignorance of self) and realizing who we truly are. And that process has already began. It's a slow process but it's already in motion and the signs are everywhere. The wheels of change are in motion and there's nothing that can stop it.

[@mayanboricua]

@@bobisallright No, even as a Christian, that should be a very relevant question. Especially as a Christian, I'd argue. How do we know Isaiah was referring to Jesus in that passage? Context clues, I suppose. Isaiah was probably clear about who he was talking about. I suspect all the surrounding paragraphs concerned the same person, and made it known who this person was. It sounds to me that Isaiah was referring to the coming Messiah. If Jesus was in fact that messiah, then the passage can only refer to Jesus. There the messiah is described as a regular looking jew. Therefore, Jesus would have to look like a regular jew, in order to qualify as messiah, according to Isaiah. Very helpful in nailing down the messiah's appearance, and by extension Jesus's. Religious or not. And none of that changes whether you're a Christian, Atheist or Buddhist. The reader's religion is irrelevant. If Isaiah in fact mentions the Messiah at line 53 of the book, then the Messiah is mentioned by Isaiah at line 53. Period. Your atheism be damned. All your atheism can do is classify the subject as fiction. All the atheism in the world couldn't change the contents of Line 53. It says what it says, true or not. Likewise, if Harry escapes Voldemort at the end of Chapter 32, then Harry escapes Voldemort at ch32, fiction or not. Religious or not. And no amount of belief or disbelief can ever change the ending of Ch32, fiction or not. It's irrelevant to the in-universe canon. And I am not claiming that it's impossible to change the text of the Bible. That's been done like a million times over the centuries.

@@iacobushadrianus7889 Errr... Wha? I mean, Christianity has been one of the most evangelistic beliefs. Usually spread by people, to other people. Instead of somehow just... Idk, falling from the sky, I guess? How would you think a worldwide belief would spread? Usually it has to be spread through people, and then that means that the people it's being spread to are being exposed to other peoples, with different characteristics, what we call different ethnicity or race. So... Yeah. Idk.

Also, what I just said might explain why Jesus has continued to be represented as a white bearded man. Cause the missionaries would probably be beared white men. So you know... Bearded white guys' religion, the main guy... Hmm... Yeah let's make him white and... Oh hey, let's give him a beard too.

#1.He said nonbias but immediately he’s saying that Jesus is not black and trying to refute rev 1. #2. He started to trace Jesus’s ethnicity from 2,000 years ago instead of going back to genesis or at least from Noah. #3. Then he said he’s going to start from a clean slate without any personal preferences and image expectation when not even a second before, he said that Jesus isn’t black like the Africans. He continues to say if Jesus is black, brown etc., it wouldn’t matter to him when he already build up an image in his mind what Jesus isn’t and who he wants Jesus to be, I believe that’s CONFIRMATION BIAS. Lol, lol, I really have to laugh because this racist, bias guy is funny. #4. He said the governing changed the image of Jesus Christ to look like them and not the governed. I couldn’t agree more with him on this one because that’s exactly why Jesus is not portrayed as his correct color, black, the governed. Caucasians governing and blacks are governed. #5. Nobody believes that Jesus was African, he was not a Canaanite or Kushite, He is a Hebrew Israelite. The problem is that you fail to realize that the biblical and historical Hebrew Israelites were black just like the Hamites. In Gen 42:7-8 Joseph ONLY changed his voice and his brothers didn’t recognize him but he recognized them. If Joseph was Caucasian he would have stand out amongst the other Egyptians but he was black just like the ancient Egyptians and that’s why he could change his voice and not being recognized by his brothers. In theology, there is a thing call “analogy of faith” where you compare scripture to scripture in order to arrive at a conclusion because all scriptures are harmoniously united and not contradictory. Therefore , In order to understand Revelations 1:14 you have to read Daniel 7:9 KJV the Ancient of days (God Almighty Jesus Christ) garment as white as snow, the hair of His head LIKE THE PURE WOOL (Black man’s hair texture). #6. Jesus looked different after his resurrection doesn’t mean that he didn’t have a body like us because he ate with the disciples after his resurrection. Him being God can cause them not to recognize him. #7. Like I said before, you can’t tell what Jesus looked like by only knowing what Galilean men in the first century looked like. There were different ethnicities in Galilee t the time of Jesus. Also, how do we know that those men weee actually from Galilee and not imposters from the governing. Just like how he said the Romans changed the image of Jesus, that’s the same way we cannot trust your so-called iconography, etc. It’s like saying, I can know what Martin L King looked like by looking at what men in Tennessee looked like in the 19th century. This is if I didn’t know what he looks like. #8. The gospels weren’t written in the first century, according to most theologians, 80% of the New Testament manuscript dated to the 5th century or later with the oldest with the single most authenticated fragment, papyrus 52, dated to the mid 2nd century. It wouldn’t make no sense for Judas to say Jesus looked like the black guy when Jesus Christ and the 12 tribes of Israel are all Black. lol, lol, this guy continues to make me laugh. You are confusing the way how people in that area looked today with the biblical and historical people in that area. Those coins doesn’t prove anything, how do you know that the person on the coin bending his knees were Jews? Did the coin say they were Jews or you assumed they were Jews? Also how do we know that those coins were from the first century for sure. The person kneeling down wasn’t even bowing down in front of the roman Soilder on the coin. Those so call pictures of Jews in the temple was painted by the governing Caucasian and not the governed blacks (Jews). #9. You are using proof from a modern day Caucasian Israeli biohistorian, it’s like the police investigating themselves, what a joke, no independence. Jesus looked nothing like the modern day Iraqi, he was an Hebrew Israelite from the tribe of Judah. The modern day people in that region are hybrid , mixture of the original inhabitants of the land (blacks) and Caucasian Romans, Greeks and Arabs due to the invasions. That land is the biblical Canaan, promised land. Canaan father is Cush/Ethiopia (burn face, black face people), Ham means Hot and a word means BLACK. Abraham’s grandfather and brother both named Nahor, descendant of Shem comes from the Hebrew root word “Harar”which also means burn, Charred or Hot for Black. That’s why Nahor is a slang for Nigger. Acts 13:1 KJV version: Barnabas and Simeon was also called Niger (BLACK in Greek and Latin). Songs of Solomon 1:5 “I am BLACK but comely (beautiful)”, Job 30:30 Job said “My skin is BLACK”. Daniel 7:9 said the Ancient of days, Jesus Christ which is the same Alpha and Omega in Rev chapter 1, His hair is as “PURE WOOL” and if you study hair genetics, you would learned that wool hair is EXCLUSIVE to BLACK people and if a Caucasian person have wool hair it’s considered a disorder calls “wooly hair syndrome” and I’m certain Jesus Christ didn’t have a disorder. Please see below for a reference to the name NAHOR from naming.net www.nameaning.net/both/Nahor Cush or Ethiopia had a son name Nimrod who’s kingdom was Babel/Babylon or Chaldea Chaldeans , Gen 10:8-12, so the Chaldeans/Babylonians were also black like their father and Granfather Nimrod and Ethiopia respectively. And guess what, Abraham was BORN in Ur of Chaldea/Babylon. So we can conclude again that Abraham was an Ethiopian Hebrew , Genesis 14:13. Judean men in biblical times were black like their ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob according to scriptures and ancient history.

I have heard it suggested that during his childhood and early adulthood, not much is covered in detail because he had traveled to India and had studied there before returning to the middle east. IF and granted, I offer no evidence of this either way save for the suggestion I have carried forward this is then the historical case, would his appearance possibly have been affected by his time there in both physical appearance from both time mostly inside studying, as well as nutritional and cultural effects?

@JL-XrtaMayoNoCheese The fact that anyone even needs to ask the question based on the geography of where these events took place is even more hilarious. He was brown, not white, not black. He looked like an Iraqi Jew. Obvious facts simply from looking the people who live over there. Nevertheless, the "secular academic" doesn't trust tradition. The "secular academic" requires EVIDENCE, and it is the "secular academics" that ultimately are responsible for your privilege to make this statement and send it all over the world to people you will never see or meet. Without "secular academics" there is no methodological naturalist movement in science (an attempt to describe the natural laws systematically without appealing to magic). Without a methodological naturalist movement in science, there is no Isaac Newton, no Faraday, no Guass, no Maxwell, no Babbage (created the first computer - and also a proponent of natural theology, the idea that God is revealed through his created laws, and no "contrivances" e.g., no magic or revelation, is necessary to believe in God or for creation outside of the creation of the laws themselves), etc. And why? Why was methodological naturalism necessary for this? Because choosing to explain things by "God did it" ends the line of questioning and cuts off any possibility of finding repeatable, predictable results that can explain the phenomenon in question. In other words, _you can't learn anything by just saying "God did it" and not trying to find a mechanistic explanation!_ That doesn't mean God doesn't exist, which for some reason you people tend to assume. It simply means that the best way to find out about the natural world is to try to understand it with the things that are natural.

[@eliteteamkiller319]

@JL-XrtaMayoNoCheese Sorry about you being censored. KZbin has a weird spam algorithm. It gets me as well. I do not consider what I said as a straw man, but it's possible I misunderstood what you were saying. 1. Maybe we should establish what we respectively mean by "secular academics." I am referring academics who employ a naturalist method (the scientific method), one that is and has for hundreds of years been used by both atheists and theists alike. 2. See 1. 3. I didn't say "Methodological science," I said "Methodological naturalism." More importantly, what _evidence_ do you have besides your claims that the methodological, naturalist system we call "science" existed before the likes of Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo? (especially Galileo, who began the tradition of heavily weighing observation over reason)? Prior to them, "science" was mostly deductive. Modern science is _inductive,_ and when we say "science," it is modern science we are referring to. 4. I dispute that modern science came out of alchemy. If it came from any pseudoscience, it was _astrology_ (note that Kepler was an astrologist as well as an astronomer [and the line between them was blurred at the time], and both Galileo and Copernicus studied astrology). But that's not what made it modern science. Modern science ultimately owes its existence to the philosophical shift from pure deductive reason as a means to understand the world (Plato) to _inductive_ reasoning to understand the world (thanks in large part to Galileo). Alchemy was just the precursor to chemistry, and it was in fact the invention of modern _inductive_ science that eventually caused alchemy to be replaced by chemistry (and the same with astrology and astronomy). But I will say that alchemy was always in part inductive to begin with. It wasn't until the systematic naturalist methods pioneered by the likes of Galileo and Newton that all the extraneous aspects of alchemy were finally put to bed and modern chemistry birthed (notably, 1661 with Boyle). The major difference between the alchemy and chemistry is, of course, the scientific method - something which simply _did not exist_ as we know it until a few hundred years ago. Alchemy lived on for some time, if I'm not mistaken, but it didn't and still doesn't fit into what we would call a science (naturalistic, methodological, _inductive_ exploration and explanation of the world). Neither does astrology, which was slowly siphoned away out of astronomy. But, my point here is that the major birth-givers of science (which I argue are Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo) were more active in astronomy and astrology than alchemy and chemistry. 5. If it was wrong, my apologies. When someone complains about secular methodological inquiry, they are usually of the "god did it" camp. It was an assumption. 6. Natural theology cannot be a non-sequitur because natural theology is not part of an argument. It is neither a conclusion nor a statement of fact, nor a hypothesis, nor anything of the sort. It's just an _ideology_ influencing theology, one focused on proving religious truths by rational arguments and observation rather than revelation, so I'm not really sure what you mean here. What do you mean by "natural theology is a non-sequitur?"

[@levite2059]

Here is a COMPLETE point by point refutal of Metatron’s video: #1. He said nonbias but immediately after, he stated that Jesus is not black and trying to refute Revelation 1. #2. He started to trace Jesus’s ethnicity from 2,000 years ago instead of going back to Noah or at least from Abraham. #3. Then he said he’s going to start from a clean slate without any personal preferences and image expectation when not even a second before, he said that Jesus isn’t black like the Africans. He continues to say if Jesus is black, brown etc., it wouldn’t matter to him when he already build up an image in his mind what Jesus isn’t and who he wants Jesus to be, I believe that’s CONFIRMATION BIAS. Lol, lol, I really have to laugh because this racist, bias guy is funny. #4. He said the governing changed the image of Jesus Christ to look like them and not the governed. I couldn’t agree more with him on this one because that’s exactly why Jesus is not portrayed as his correct color, black, the governed. Caucasians governing and blacks are governed. #5. Nobody believes that Jesus was African, he was not a Canaanite or Kushite, He is a Hebrew Israelite. The problem is that you fail to realize that the biblical and historical Hebrew Israelites were black just like the Hamites. In Gen 42:7-8 Joseph ONLY changed his voice and his brothers didn’t recognize him but he recognized them. If Joseph was Caucasian he would have stand out amongst the other Egyptians but he was black just like the ancient Egyptians and that’s why he could change his voice and not being recognized by his brothers. In theology, there is a thing call “analogy of faith” where you compare scripture to scripture in order to arrive at a conclusion because all scriptures are harmoniously united and not contradictory. Therefore , In order to understand Revelations 1:14 you have to read Daniel 7:9 KJV the Ancient of days (God Almighty Jesus Christ) garment as white as snow, the hair of His head LIKE THE PURE WOOL (Black man’s hair texture). #6. Jesus looked different after his resurrection doesn’t mean that he didn’t have a body because he ate with the disciples after his resurrection. Him being God can cause them not to recognize him. #7. Like I said before, you can’t tell what Jesus looked like by only knowing what Galilean men in the first century looked like. If that’s the case I can just say Jesus was black like the men in Galilee at that time because all the Jews in Galilee were black.However, there were different ethnicities in Galilee at the time of Jesus. Also, how do we know that those men were actually from Galilee and not imposters from the governing. Just like how he said the Romans changed the image of Jesus, that’s the same way we cannot trust your so-called iconography, etc. It’s like saying, I can know what Martin L King looked like by looking at what men in Tennessee looked like in the 19th century. This is if I didn’t know what he looks like. #8. The gospels weren’t written in the first century, according to most theologians, 80% of the New Testament manuscript dated to the 5th century or later with the oldest, the single most authenticated fragment, papyrus 52, dated to the mid 2nd century. It wouldn’t make no sense for Judas to say Jesus looked like the black guy when Jesus Christ and the 12 tribes of Israel are all Black. lol, lol, this guy continues to make me laugh. You are confusing the way how people in that area looked today with the biblical and historical people in that area. Those coins doesn’t prove anything, how do you know that the person on the coin bending his knees were Jews? Did the coin say they were Jews or you assumed they were Jews? Also how do we know that those coins were from the first century for sure. The person kneeling down wasn’t even bowing down in front of the roman Soilder on the coin. Those so call pictures of Jews in the temple was painted by the governing Caucasian and not the governed blacks (Jews). #9. You are using proof from a modern day Caucasian Israeli biohistorian, it’s like the police investigating themselves, what a joke, no independence. Jesus looked nothing like the modern day Iraqi, he was an Hebrew Israelite from the tribe of Judah. The modern day people in that region are hybrid , mixture of the original inhabitants of the land (blacks) and Caucasian Romans, Greeks and Arabs due to the invasions. That land is the biblical Canaan, promised land. Canaan father is Cush/Ethiopia (burn face, black face people), Ham means Hot and a word means BLACK. Abraham’s grandfather and brother both named Nahor, descendant of Shem comes from the Hebrew root word “Harar”which also means burn, Charred or Hot for Black. That’s why Nahor is a slang for Nigger. Acts 13:1 KJV version: Barnabas and Simeon was also called Niger (BLACK in Greek and Latin). Songs of Solomon 1:5 “I am BLACK but comely (beautiful)”, Job 30:30 Job said “My skin is BLACK”. Daniel 7:9 said the Ancient of days, Jesus Christ which is the same Alpha and Omega in Rev chapter 1, His hair is as “PURE WOOL” and if you study hair genetics, you would learned that wool hair is EXCLUSIVE to BLACK people and if a Caucasian person have wool hair it’s considered a disorder calls “wooly hair syndrome” and I’m certain Jesus Christ didn’t have a disorder. Please see below for a reference to the name NAHOR from naming.net www.nameaning.net/both/Nahor Cush or Ethiopia had a son name Nimrod who’s kingdom was Babel/Babylon or Chaldea Chaldeans , Gen 10:8-12, so the Chaldeans/Babylonians were also black like their father and Granfather Nimrod and Ethiopia respectively. And guess what, Abraham was BORN in Ur of Chaldea/Babylon. So we can conclude again that Abraham was an Ethiopian Hebrew , Genesis 14:13. Judean men in biblical times were black like their ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob according to scriptures and ancient history. Therefore we can conclude that metatron research and description is highly flawed, biased and racist. I chose to believe what the scriptures says over what man says!!!

There never was multiple Gospels by multiple authors.

The religion was hijacked by Rome, the Gospel was broken up scrambled adulterated into a bunch of competing narratives. Later four of those adulterated gospels were canonized with falsely ascribed authorship and a Gnosticism cover-story. It was the finding of an original Gospel of Jesus scroll in Jerusalem that gained the Knights Templar power over the Church and their eventual undoing when the church finally retaliated against them Friday 13th.

So by YOUR definition of racism- if I say a person of that the typical or standard description of someone from Eastern Asia has small slanted eyes, and very small features. Very high cheekbones,high nose bridge, small nose, and African- Easter-Western -Ethiopian- Sub-Saharan all different yet basically have a broad/ wide bride nose, flat like or wide nostrils, and fuller lips, yet very diverse in skin color/tone hair texture and eye color. And Mexican- very diverse in skin, hair, eye color and yet their basic traits are most have higher, broader forehead, oilier skin, ( great trait to have btw. ) higher cheekbones, generally brown, green, hazel eyes. However, since most Mexicans are a mixture of many races to give them a general or “common” trait other than most have black-brown hair brown- green eyes. And White people? For some reason if someone has blond, red, brown hair, light blue, green, brown, etc eyes and light or “White” skin they’re “White” people. But truth is, at least in the U.S.- since at least the 60’s there are very few “European Whites”. Most are mixed with Black, Brown, Yellow, and even as far back as the 1600s Native American- yet by YOUR standards pointing this out is somehow racist? It’s only “racist” in the mind of a racist. They- whomever you choose they to be- I KNOW who “they” are. But THEY will say and do anything to keep division alive. Be it by saying someone is racist for pointing out genetic factual differences- not by TRUE RACISM which is one race thinking they’re better than another race- which is not true, no one is above or better than the other. - Or be it by putting others in a “class” aka- the elite, the upper class, middle class, lower class etc. - people are where they are at least in this country because they either worked for it or didn’t. No one has held anyone back. ( yeah I know I’m gonna get hi5 for that statement, but it’s true) and religion- if they can keep the Baptist hating the Catholic, hating the Jewish people and the Atheist hating them all- well hey, they’ve got a good hate group going there. ( and nope I didn’t mention Muslims, or Hindu, or Buddhists- thats a whole other novella. Anyway, as long as we are kept in poverty, busy worrying about how to pay our bills, how to pay for the drug prescriptions they’ve got us hooked on, how to keep our home from being stolen either by them or the squatters, then we are not looking at or focusing on their crimes. Their lies.
