"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.

By the way, Congrats Snuggly, i never voted for you tho!

Do ALL fundamentalist Christians right in UNNECESSARY capitals?

Surely it is up the each individual artist what colour jesus is/was?

To answer questions:

The first account of creation in Genesis chapter 1 through chapter 2, verse 3, is an overview of the seven days of creation. The rest of chapter 2 deals with the creation of man and woman and HOW God did it, plus the location of the garden of Eden. Consider chapter 1 verse 27 the overview, and chapter 2, verses 7, 18 and 19 how He created man and woman.
THAT's your answer.

What color was Jesus? Deep tan. He was a Jew, as FF has said. I always figured that those who hate Jews are going to be surprised at the Great White Throne judgment when they see "their" Jesus sitting on the throne, and He's a Jew. His mother was Jewish. His stepfather was Jewish. YES, His STEPFATHER. Joseph wasn't His father. God Almighty was.

I use the same KING JAMES BIBLE that most people do. Interestingly, that Bible wasn't a western (American) invention. The 1611 KJV was translated in England from original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts. I don't use a 1611, but the ones we have today are a version with easier to understand text.

By the way, FF, nice job on the Easter thing. I've told people about that for years. Check it out further, and you'll see a yule log and a decorated tree there also. (Unless you had it listed in the pamphlet and I didn't see it. If so, forgive the oversight.)

Pagan rituals.
John 4:24 says, "God is a Spirit, and those that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth."

God had nothing to do with my creation.
Jeebus supplied the lube, he may have squeezed a few things, but God did nothing - he didn't even bother to bring a camera.

My spirit is 100% mine.
What I believe it is, what I believe is consists of, what I believe will happen to it and what I believe will change it are my beliefs.

My spirit has nothing to do with anyone else apart from me.
You and your God can keep your blood-stained hands away from it.

But you did. And it said you were 14.

*chants*

Hell!
Hell!
Hell!

Because God made your spirit along with you, is the reason.

But it will be judged.

And ....?
Yes it's in me - therefore it is mine.

Not God's.
It may be Jeebus's, if he asks nicely enough.

But we don't even have the same definition of a spirit, so this conversation is utterly pointless.
