I found that to many, he has dark hair, big eyes, a beard, etc. Many pictures of him do not depict dark hair, and some people see him as tanned as well.
Different cultures and communities depict different images of Jesus. Where I was born (a Christian village in the Middle East), Jesus is depicted as having black hair and looks Middle Eastern. You might be surprised to know that, in some cultures, Jesus is also depicted as looking Asian.
Quote:NDErs use the excuse that: "Jesus shows up differently to all of us, in a way we understand or imagine him, so that our spiritual journey will make the most sense to us".
Don't you think this itself is sufficiently a naturalistic explanation?
