Please saved the comment " color does not matter"
it does not answer the question.

Okay ya snagged a comment, more like a question.

Where do you get off saying "either black or white"?

More to the point: With your polarizing classification of "black or white" where does a person of negriod origin with a white parent, who looks completely white fit? Where does a person of caucasian ancestory, who looks hispanic or asian, fit?

And lastly: As it has been scientifically postulated that all humans can be traced to maternal genetic origin within the continent now called Africa, aren't we all black?

Don't tell me my inquiry is not on topic, or try to avoid the question.

Good grief.

Could you pray to a stereotypical Jewish person? Jesus was Jewish, Isrealite. Perhaps he looked like Abbie Hoffman. We need to lose these hangups. Christianity dictates that every man is your brother, every woman your sister. Just as there is familial acceptance in the home, we are to accept each other.

Jesus was physical, do you believe Jesus is God?

Regardless of whatever color Jesus may have been, it has no bearing on what color God might be, (whether one believes that God and Jesus are one and the same, or not), namely, because he wouldn't have a skin. Even the Bible says that God is spirit. That being the case, it's not likely that he would be any color. Although, I would agree with the observation that there would definitely be some surprised, and probably very dismayed people, if God was any other color than what they were expecting.

Most Egyptians arent black,nor are or were the isrealis.There was a period where the nubians came up from the south,conquered and ruled egypt for a period of years but throughout most of history most egyptians were not and are not black.They of course didnt look like they were from sweden either.Since all races started out from one it really doesnt matter anyway

Of course it's true. Many more people would consider The Bible nonsense as well.
