"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.

And an even worse tourist guide.

You'd make a crap Estate Agent.

Like humans, we lived once, but we will continue to live somewhere either the New Jerusalem or the Lake of Fire, which is the Second Death.

New record please!

If I remember the endless nativity plays from school correctly the Romans put Jesus on a cross. That is not "every one of us" is it?

Besides you're all arguing about a probably fictional character for CHRIST's sake. Ahem.

Ok - Jesus was tanned with a beard - I've seen him, he is an icon

No MAN, Adam and Eve sinned, thus allowing sin to enter the world.

Paradox, can you keep this topic relevant please.
