Why do Christians assume Jesus has blond hair and blue eyes?

Doesn't anyone stop to wonder: Jesus was a Jew. Most Jewish people of that region lack blond hair and blue eyes.........its kind of like Hitler stating the Aryan race should have blond hair and blue eyes, yet didn't the Nazi's stop to realize that their leader was Austrian and had dark hair and eyes? It totally contradicted what he was preaching in the first place (hitler) ?!?!?!? So, what are your thoughts on this one?

Why do Christians assume Jesus has blond hair and blue eyes?

Why do Christians assume Jesus has blond hair and blue eyes?

He(Jesus) might even have been black.Some icons in the churches in Turkey illustrate Virgin Mary and Jesus as dark people not like cupids. I think that is closer to reality. But you can never argue with people who want to believe something (if it is something emotional). They will believe it no matter what you say...

Why do Christians assume Jesus has blond hair and blue eyes?

I've never thought that He had blonde hair and blue eyes....based on the average person in His time,I assume He would have had an olive-y completion and brown eyes.

Why do Christians assume Jesus has blond hair and blue eyes?

Because Christians are all ignorant, hypocritical idiots with only one thing in their mind... a way to get into heaven. If i told them that jesus gets an erection they think it's sin. If i took a crucifix off the wall and threw it they would get mad and shun me! If i told them that jesus was only 4 foot 11 inches they'd drop on their knees and pray for forgiveness of my wrong thinking. They don't realize that if you really believe in jesus the only thing that matters is that you believe and how he looks, acts and speaks is a matter that should be disregarded.

Why do Christians assume Jesus has blond hair and blue eyes?

Okay, i'm Christian. My Friends are Christian. My friends parents are Christian. we Are all church goers, fellowship lovers, bible reading, praying daily, Christians. We have never assumed that Jesus was blonde, or did he have blue eyes. I imagine long brown hair, long facial hair and brown eyes. And btw, to answer your question, during the 1600's to the 1700's art in Europe, was very idealistic. And very religious. Most paintings portrayed the Lord Jesus and the Virgin Mary as blonde, and beautiful, and looking as the ideal style for higher class of this time. Even the clothing. So that may answer ur supposed question.

I am a Christian and once I learned the nationality of Jews.... I never thought that again.

Why do Christians assume Jesus has blond hair and blue eyes?

Most pictures we have representing Jesus come from Europe and so they have a European likeness - remember this is just mans interpretation.

Yes since Jesus came from the middle east he most likely looked like a Palestinian or Middle Eastern Jew. Not the Anglo-Saxon featured Jesus that we imagine Him to be.

Again no-one knows what Jesus looks like exactly and whatever picture you hold of Him in your heart if it helps you draw closer to Him then that is all good.

Jesus came for everyone regardless of race colour or creed

blond hair, blue eyes..what

Why do Christians assume Jesus has blond hair and blue eyes?

Your question maybe should say " Why do SOME Christians assume Jesus has blond hair and blue eyes?"

MOST of us Christians know that He was not. We are walking, talking, intelligent people who can read and know that someone who was Jewish, born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth, was most assuredly olive skinned with darker hair.

Why do Christians assume Jesus has blond hair and blue eyes?

I have never thought that. I have, since I was old enough to know, realized that Jesus was from the mid-east. He looked more like Osama than my son (who has blond hair and blue eyes). I think it is funny when I see pictures of a blond haired Jesus, or a black Jesus for that matter. It's hilarious.

Why do Christians assume Jesus has blond hair and blue eyes?

Some christians think that he had blond hair and blue eyes, others believe he was a jew.

I think it's because of the pictures that we see everywhere of Jesus. He is often portrayed as having blond hair and blue eyes, so people just unconsciously think that it must be so. It must be noted then that they have not read much of the historical documents about jesus, and his death and ressurection, or if they have read them, then they musn't be using their brain.

I think it is more important though to think about what he is like, and what he claimed, and what he did in dying on our behalf, then what he looks like. Make him look however you want, so long as it doesn't go against the facts.

Why do Christians assume Jesus has blond hair and blue eyes?

I have seen alot of Jewish people with blond hair and blue eyes and light brown with blue eyes omg jewish is a RELIGION and not a race of people, why does everyone mistake that, there are jewish people in every race. It is like saying every christian is a caucasian. Regardless, most people only have a vision of Jesus based on the paintings of DaVinci and other such artists and these were based on artists before them and so on and so on. Clearly they are all similar in thier applications therefore we can assume somewhat what he looked like. None of those paintings to my knowledge show him as having blond hair but rather light brownish to reddish hair but not dark and his eyes mostly have been depicted as blue, I would assume the color of the sky would be appropriate to depict him, remember these are artists depictions and not factual. Who said christians said he had blond hair anyway, blue eyes maybe but never blond as far as I have ever known.
