Who exactly is Jesus Christ?
21 03 2008
This morning I decided to watch a “Good Friday” movie or 2…..actually I am on the first one. Halfway through the film a thought came to me. Who is Jesus Christ? Most movies I have seen depict Him as blond-haired, blue-eyed guy, with shoulder length hair with a little flip in the back. Thanks to Hollywood, Jesus Christ has an American accent and speaks as if he is really on the frontier of a western movie. The language and gestures are very American . So I decided to Google Jesus Christ images and again, came up with images as described above. Even a Black Jesus Christ came up as a “browning”……Herod, Pontius Pilate etc are all caucasian men….and the few darkies in these movies are……slaves, who use palms to fan their kings and queens…….
So….who is Jesus Christ?
Happy Easter!
A fictional imaginary person created to satisfy and help adults and children alike in times of need (He doesn’t actually help them, but people think he does), oh and to bring in tons and tons of dollars, but whoever he i,s i tend to not want to believe in him, but that’s just me.
does it matter what he really looked like. I think you just have to figure he looked like the folks who lived in palestine back in those days. they werent exactly white they probably werent exactly nubian either.
I’m with Jdid on this one.
