I haven't heard of any church claiming that their depiction of any religious figure of the past was accurate. You shouldn't make statements if you don't know what you are talking about. Every religious artist depicts their holy figures in a way that they can relate to it. Buddha looks different in India than he looks in Japan. I find it amusing that you think that this as any import on a religion whatsoever. Not even in Hollywood movies I've seen a Swedish Jesus.Quote:

groundbreaking to you maybe. I first heard of it about 10 years ago.
And how exactly did Jews look 2000 years ago? they had the appearence of arabis but a little darker by modern standards
and now jesus is portrais tall blonde and white i.e. Sweedish oir scandinavian.
Why do you assume nothing changes
Italians were black but througn breeding with whites arenow pail
where do you think the dark hair comes from
so to all modern evidence Jesus, Moses. the deciples and Even Jesus's god the Christian god was BLACK by all madern standards
Blame it all on Michelangelo he used his slim blonde brother to pose for a jesus portrait and it stuck.
I know quite a few people will have a fit about this but only because the're racist.
Read THIS and be enlightened
I have been to Israel and I wouldn't be able to tell Jewish people apart from other Arabic people living in that region just from their complexion. If they live in the same area, they are bound to get about the same amount of sunshine. If they looked different 2000 years ago, fine - what the heck does that have to do with Christianity?
I'm still waiting for a picture of Allah?
