Oh no, a culture portrayed Jesus as looking like one of them.Have you ever seen a movie/tv show about Jesus? Robert Powell (brown haired, blue eyed Brit), Max von Sydow (brown haired, blue eyed swede), Brian Deacon (brown haired, blue eyed Brit), Jim Cavaziel (brown haired, blue eyed American).
Ho boy. Is this mainstream western art? I'm well aware that non-white cultures picture Jesus as being a part of their own culture, hence a black Jesus, Asian Jesus, Slavic Jesus. However, what does the western Europe culture describe Jesus as? A light haired, light eyed, non-Jew.Oh no, a culture portrayed Jesus as looking like one of them.
What a travesty.
I was asking about the artwork since you seem to be ignoring that question.......That's just silly. How is my chain being jerked when I personally saw "statues" of the Sacred Heart, prints, paintings all showing this very Europeanised Jesus? The church we attended where the photo was taken was an American Methodist church. My son was approximately 4yo, so that would be 12 years ago. And no, I'm not reproducing that photo here (privacy and all that).
You sure, I am sure I saw a Chinese Jesus before......Everyone knows that Jesus was black.
Evidence of something that doesn't exist?Opinion or do you have some "evidence".......
I wouldn't know how "old" the artwork is, but it can hardly be "BC" as that would be ... before Christ.I was asking about the artwork since you seem to be ignoring that question.......
You go read some history then come back here and we can talk.....
It's a 19th century Chinese painting.Ho boy. Is this mainstream western art?
Because there are plenty of light-haired, light-eyed people in western Europe. Different groups of people across the world have often depicted Jesus as being a member of that culture, be it Aryan Jesus or Chinesus or whoever.I'm well aware that non-white cultures picture Jesus as being a part of their own culture, hence a black Jesus, Asian Jesus, Slavic Jesus. However, what does the western Europe culture describe Jesus as? A light haired, light eyed, non-Jew.
It's not. That was sarcasm.Why is this image any more a "travesty" than a Swedish, brunette, blue eyed man playing Jesus?
Have you ever seen a movie/tv show about Jesus? Robert Powell (brown haired, blue eyed Brit), Max von Sydow (brown haired, blue eyed swede), Brian Deacon (brown haired, blue eyed Brit), Jim Cavaziel (brown haired, blue eyed American).
Who said he was black?

I forgot Ted Neeley. Another brown haired/blonde, blue eyed Jesus. Probably one of my favorites actually. Love Jesus Christ Superstar.
