the "experts" always gets it wrong. nobody knows what he looked like because the apostles were afraid of idolatry
now we know from the gospels that he had a beard and long hair. color of skin isnt mention either because the gospel is meant to be preached to all nations
oh and nobody knows the exact day of birth either. the day and month of his death can be known through calculations.
anyways, nobody knows and its meant to be that way
The first wave of Muslim invaders into Anatolia wrote about the blonde-haired, blue-eyed women who lived there. You’re going to tell me Turkey hasn’t changed since antiquity?
You should do a quick google search to shock you perhaps. Their most popular actor is literally indistinguishable from a European White. Close to half their population looks proper White. Some look Mediterranean, a few look asian.
Similarly with the levantine arabs. A huge portion of the populations in Palestine and Syrian look completely White with blond hair and blue eyes.
It is believed to bear more of a resemblance to what Middle Eastern Jews looked like in what is now northern Israel.
Yeah, don't bother reading the biblical description of Christ. And, certainly don't look at Syrians, white Jordanians, or Persians, which are the actual northern part of biblical Israel.
Let a bunch of Christ hating jew faggots turn him into a nigger.
IMO "Jesus was black" is another attempt to discredit the whole Bible and woke and midwit Christians are falling for it.
"Jesus was actually black", therefore the early church lied about him, therefore Christians are liars. It casts doubt, and encourages one to wonder what else is a lie.
We also have these early depictions, where His skin is certainly pale or White, having straight/wavy hair and no niggardly features.

Not all, of course, but a huge, huge chunk of the population

Does the image offend? What is your God supposed to look like?
When I close my eyes and pray everyday, to a God that some may or may not acknowledge
I see in my mind’s eye three images
One is the ONE that you might trust
Two is the second you pray to in death
Three is me, I’ll never suffer your lust
