Was Jesus middle eastern? Or was he Caucasian?

In all honesty, I'm sure he looks like any other Middle Eastern Person.

In all honesty, I'm sure he looks like any other Middle Eastern Person.

Except not all "middle eastern" people look the same.

Was Jesus middle eastern? Or was he Caucasian?

Jesus was Near Eastern Jewish. Caucasian is European. Jews are closely related to Arabs than they are to almost any other ethnic group.

 

[kcnalp]

He was Jewish, both ethnically and religiously...

Amen!

 

[PROPHECYKID]

Was Jesus middle eastern? Or was he Caucasian?

Well, Jesus took on human form when he came to earth. Jesus had to be whatever complexion the people were at that time. But remember Jesus has existed for all Eternity and he has not been existing as a human. So its sort of pointless to debate this because whatever color he was here, does not represent who he truly is.

 

[PROPHECYKID]

Just speculating, Jesus' DNA was half Mary and half Holy Spirit.
The Mary portion of the DNA was middle eastern. How the Holy Spirit portion of the DNA effected Jesus appearance would be a guess. Perhaps it was the same DNA Adam had.

Did Mary and the Holy Spirit have sex? You're looking at it that way because when a man and a woman have sex the DNA is going to mix like that. This was a totally different situation. How do you know the Holy Spirit has DNA? The Holy Spirit does not need DNA. If you reason it, the creator of DNA most likely does not have or need it.

 

[Jipsah]

Was Jesus middle eastern? Or was he Caucasian?

Yes.

 

[Jipsah]

Middle eastern. Definitely.

At what point did Semites cease to be Caucasian?

 

[Jipsah]

Yea I've actually seen him in spirit but not body. I only have pictures of Jesus and they're all Caucasian. But somehow I doubt them.

At what point did Semites cease to be Caucasian?

Before they emigrated to Europe.

Or do want to claim that Arabs are also Caucasian?

I did not know the Holy Spirit had DNA.
Being, you know, a Spirit.

I did not know the Holy Spirit had DNA.

Yet Mary was impregnated by the Holy Spirit so the proper male part of pregnancy was provide to Mary by the Holy Spirit. So, it doesn't matter whether the HS has DNA or not since a child was created that did have DNA and was fully human.

Yep.

 

[Dave-W]

Yep.

The OP's question was this:

"Was Jesus middle eastern? Or was he Caucasian?"

So you are saying that Arabs are NOT Middle Eastern?

 

[Jipsah]

maybe it should be Caucasian vs Semetic?

Semites are Caucasian.

The question was sort of like "Is Bob white or a New Yorker?" Arabs are Caucasian, and Middle Eastern. This appears to be a difficult concept for folks to grasp.

 

[Jipsah]

Dark-skinned people always have black hair regardless of their heritage.

How dark do they have to be for that rule to obtain? I've known a good many dark complected people with brown hair.

Jesus must be white to have any other hair color.

I knew some half-Korean kids who had their dad's flaming red hair as well as their mom's almond eyes and prominent cheekbones. Genetics is interesting things.

 

[Jipsah]

Obviously Christ was Middle Eastern he was a Jew. He was just painted white because it made him easier to paint.

Jews aren't white? My landlord is a Jew, and he may also be the whitest man in Davidson County. I don't think he ever goes outside.

 

[Jonaitis]

Semites are Caucasian.

If race is a social construct, wouldn't this statement make no sense? Caucasian is a modern classification, Semite is an ancient classification.
