text: the almighty black or white? if the almighty is described in the old testament as having skin the color of bronze, and having hair of wool, why is he depicted as a fair skinned(white)god with flaxen hair?  this is contradictory to his original description.  since it is contradictory, why should anyone believe what is commonly believed as truth? european artists first depicted what jesus looked like. anybody with a brain knows where he was born there weren't white people. the only thing that may be accurate is his hair color may have been at least lighter than those around him. he was describe as having a glow around his head, either his head truly had a glow around it or he had a blondish color hair. just because humans make bad judgment calls or say things that aren't true shouldn't determine whether or not you believe. you were smart enough to figure this one out. why not read some more of the bible and make your own decision on whether or not you believe. good luck and god bless.
