another related though---- we were recently arguing about in every picture the society ever makes of jesus that he always has a bear because jewish men had to have beards (trimmed of course) but ...

yeah... and you guys think jesus was actually caucasian?

how did you get that out of what i said? i don't think it matters whatever he was. i was talking bout the beard. (not meant to be said meanly in any way)

i didn't, i got it from the picture. he's usually depicted as a white guy. just wondering what you guys thought.

i always thought although he is usually white, look at the new children's book. we have definetly never seen him depicted so different!! like his skin is a lot darker and his eyes deeper set. but...

Im not saying your wrong, but the people who live in Jerusalem now came from Arabia in the 800's and 900's when the Muslim's spread. The people who are Jesus color, most likely, are modern-day Jews...
