Some say purple with green stripes but I say green with purple stripes.

Seriously though, what does it matter?

If you base it off of the region he was in he more than likely had brown skin. I suppose he could have migrated and been white.

Although if you believe that he was the son of god, that leaves it open to debate that he could have been any color based off of what color god was. even then you could argue that god could have changed his skin color since he's a god.

it's just a topic for discussion. I think it will be interesting to see what people say.

You could say it's very important. You would think that people would want an accurate image of the most important figure in their religion. Also another interesting tibit for this who believe that God and Jesus are one and the same putting any picture of Jesus regardless of color would be a clear violation of the 3rd commandment. How come that is never bought up?

If I could add my two sense he probably looked Hispanic or Middle Eastern.

To your first point, I guess but if they don't get it does it change anything?
To your second point, yeah. (I guess I didn't think of that since the trinity is a load).

By the way, thanks for actually answering guys. I genuinely appreciate that.
