Waters with another patented adolescent response
Mate seriously - you're making me laugh. I know you're not trying to. But why do you default to such teenage girl games?
And if you are determined to try and sabotage the substance of the conversation - which has nothing to do with what color anyone was and everything to do with (a) politically correct culture and (b) the science of a genetic shift inside a region - could you at least be a little bit clever along the way? |

no, he acutally said God hasn't spoken since Moses. I don't consider myself to be part of the Mormon mullah community, but that kind of turned me off when I first heard it.

I am trying to figure out why we should care if people wish to portray Jesus with darker skin. I can't think of a good reason. Help me out here.

When they left Egypt, then they really got into the, "don't marry outside" thing. Even in the land of Israel, I believe they were encouraged to marry amongst their own tribe. Judah itself had some distinct characteristics. But did they intermarry during the Babylonian captivity. Since the Arabs originate with Ishmael, who knows what he looked like. Somehow I doubt that JC was fair skinned and blonde hair. It statistically and genetically seems a long shot. Although I suppose anything is possible. |

You're kidding, right? "The Arabs" "originated" with someone called Ishmael like Achilles originated from the nymph Thetis. This is creationism.
