    Re: why is Jesus depicted as a white man

    Err, did you mean "Word of God" or "world of God"? The former is familiar. The latter not so much.
    life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

    Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

    "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

    John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

    "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

    Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

        I could answer your question.

        But before I have a question of my own:

        Would it be possible not to include "what the fuck" in any and every sentence?

        Or do you think it necessary to show how "cool" you are?

        Is that really supposed to be "cool" or something?

          Since you quoted him, you may have noticed that he said it "reminds him of the meme..." This was an actual internet meme that went around some time ago. He's relaying the quote from the meme.

          While we ordinarily ask that people refrain from cursing as much as possible, from time to time, it isn't necessarily amiss.

            For a start:

            Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are only the English versions of originally Hebrew or Greek names.

            Does that answer the question?

            -----------------------

            Btw: The German versions are Matthias, Markus, Lukas and Johannes.

            And there are other versions in other languages.

                And I am able to write texts without the addition of "what the fuck!" in every sentence.

                You may find it "cool".

                I find it revolting and repulsive and vulgar and primitive.

                So ......

                  Btw: What do you mean by "white"?

                  If you know how people in Syria look like - how would you describe them?

                  Do you think they are "black" ore something?

                    I understand that humor is different for most people but really....REALLY???

                    It is never "cool" to put people down or imply insult by claiming moral superiority

                    Oh and BTW;

                    I would describe Syrians and being Middle Eastern/Arabic, and Jews as being Jewish as Jesus and his disciples were.

Wouldn't they actually look more like the modern day Muslim and be brown rather then white . This is just something that bugs me.
                      I'm just getting around to this. Because Jesus stuff never ends well. But I wanted to point out something interesting. Dumuzi is Muslim and Egyptian. He's pretty effing pale. Like ghostly pale. Word.

                            You know there's a reason a lot of hispanics are named Jesus.

                              For the same reason King Arthur and his knights wear full plate in medieval artwork.
