I'm not quite sure why you are consistently making reference to a "blonde-haired, blue-eyed" Christ. I'm quite sure that I haven't mentioned it. You seem to be somewhat paranoid about the religious preferences of some European Americans. BTW, I've noticed that you have made a couple of vague references with regard to the Jews. Are you Jewish?

mark silvers, I can't understand this either. It seems very superficial to say the least. I just can't fathom, weather one believes in Jesus or not, with all the wonder and meaning contained within the Bible, that one would get hung up on looks? Don't us Christians have enough bickering and hair-splitting as it is, without being concerned with the physical characteristics of the man that Jesus was for 33 years? In the Spiritual sense, any of this is completely irrelevant. C Kahn

Mark, Isiah describes him. This is the beautiful prophesy that foretold of his coming. Pity so many denied the truth of the Old Testament and denied him as the Son of God. ""Isaiah 53 1Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? 2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. According to the Scriptures, did you ever consider that Jesus fulfilled this prophesy? Santiago
