That is not a picture of Jesus since no one really knows what Jesus looks like.

That is one of the reason our ministry disaproves of pictures of Jesus, because I am sure that Jesus did not look european, he was a Jewish man.

We all come from Adam and Eve, there is no disputing that. However over time, we the human race diversify.

Yes there are jews of different races, but the prevalent Jewish features are not european.

The only reason Jesus looks european in most pictures is because Christianity flourished in Europe instead of the Middle east, otherwise the pictures of Jesus would have him looking like the middle eastern person that he was.

how do we know that the jews didnt come from the europeans? i mean abraham came out of a well established city.

lol how do you define a jewish feature? i men you have a black jew and a white jew, both come fromt eh 12 patriarchs? there all mixed jesus has moabite in his line and some says moabites where black.

Jesus could be a dark skinned man or he could be white as a ghost. cause i see both these types of jews. also many jews are russian..

just sayin...........

I will be disputing that. You might also be descended from Eve and the Serpent, through Cain (Scripture verifies this in many places) or, there is ample evidence of an eighth day creation, as reflected in Scripture's delineation of men into "ish" or "adam." This delineation has not survived translation, but may be seen in the primitive texts, or by clicking "lexicon" in the relevant verses online.

This also clarifies who Cain could have married in the Land of Nod.
We surely did not all descend from Adam and Eve.

Hmm, I always assumed these variances were post-diaspora,
and that Jews in Christ's time were pretty homogenous...

Is anybody going to address the actual point of the picture? Who cares what Jesus looked like?
