[quote=Anonymous]We have to separate the religious figure from the historical figure. The historical figure mostly likely looked what we today would consider to be Middle Eastern (brown/black hair, tanned to brown skin, average height/weight for his time). He was mostly definitely not fair skin with blonde hair/blue eyes. However, that's separate from the religious issue. The religious portrayal of religious personnages does not require historical accuracy. Each congregation, denomination, group, etc can choose for itself how it wants deal with this issue. Some may decide to maintain status quo for the sake of status quo. All the various Christian denominations have the option of portraying the religious personage of Jesus in their racial and/or ethnic image. [/quote]
