What if Jesus Christ were an asian or black man?
Would Christianity have thrived in Europe and Americas?
The answer would be just about as much as other eastern religions.
The reality is that identification with race/culture is paramount on most people's minds prior to adopting the religion.
hence why alot of drawings of Jesus Christ, for marketing reasons show him to look almost Aryan in some instances with those blue eyes.
What if Jesus looked like.......
Would white man have followed his ebony rooster? |

But... Jesus WAS black (or at least Middle Eastern).

is the growth of christianity fueled by chinese that are already christian or by other races coming in?
if they are white, then the chinese are usually OK with that race.
But if they are middle eastern, it's tougher to market/preach Islam, for example.
First impression counts in everything in life.

How do we know Jesus had a beard though? Do we know all we know about Jesus just through word of mouth passed down among the ages? Is there account of his description in scripture?

But it doesn't say "Jesus was _____"
I gather he's a person with a beard from that. I'll give you that.

Hate to correct you (again)
REV 1
13and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man,"[b]dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
Now the wool comment , there is only one race where their hair is like wool and that is black. |
