"FF, what colour was Jesus?"

Or God for that matter. He made us in His image and the earliest Humans were from Asia, so they must have been yellow/brown/whatever skinned. Yet, every Bible printed, every religious image in the Western world shows him as a white man. Why is that? Do you think it could be some subtle form of manipulation for us Honkys? The whole region of Bethlehem, Jerusalem, etc., is in the Middle East area, and I don't see no white folk about. Could it be that the Bible my old school gave me and forced me to learn from was lying to me?

My personal favourite theory, that explains everything about the man called Jesus, is that he was a time-traveller. Think about it. Some mystical bloke, giving it all "that" with extra sass - I'd be pretty lairy if I'd just time-travelled. Healing the sick with modern and future medicine. And he's white. The first time-traveller (if the End of Days hasn't come like you're cheerily predicting) will probably be some white-bred American bloke, so he'll be well-versed in the Bible. It's a good theory, don't knock it. Expect to see the film. Soon. Starring Mark Wahlberg as Jesus. And William Shatner as God. Probably.

Shut up.
My spirit grew as I grew, as a direct result of my actions, the morals I developed and the decisions I made among other things. All my doing - that's me

Once again, stop shoving your God in my face, he has no place in my life.

Why do you consider the Bible 'Chinese Whispers' when you can read the original Bible in Ancient Greek, Ancient Hebrew and Ancient Aramaic.

Please don't consider the Bible evidence. At best it is a third party account of stories re-told years later and in some places it reads like chinese whispers. If you understand this then you can start to understand how God can exist even though a lot of the Bible is not truth.

Well, I need to use Bible verses, the basis for my evidence.

Maybe rather then quoting references (because I don't think a lot of us have Bibles) you could give us a brief summary of how it does?

Yes it does.

But that doesn't deal with why there are two versions of events.

Again, why the irrelevance?

Doesn't say anything.
