How do you know it’s not Raptor Jesus?
Raptor Jesus was black.
Noah would know how to spell Ark
It is spelled correctly, you wouldn’t spell boat with a capital B at the end of a sentence. You’re clearly a retard.
NOPE! Chuck Testa!
NO BEARD
no noah.
ellimist is obviously blind.
There is clearly a beard.
i believe you mean no god beard.
im about to be attacked by this but nobody knows how jesus really looked like. He didnt want anyone to paint him and for all we know he might have not even been white. The reason why he is depicted white in almost all paintings is because the painters of the main christian religion were europeans and for the it was only logical Jesus were white; the supposedly more supreme race. As far as we are concerned Jesus might have been arabic looking leaning towards black.
Blasphemy.
A ticket to Hell has never been … funnier …
Also, ^this.
uhum…jesus was from Israel=>Israeli=>white-ish
If that’s were the case, then Arabs can be considered whitish also.
well they’re more whiteish than blackish for the most part I’d say.
well can’t they ?
The ones I’ve seen look mostly red and black and covered with debris, but that’s usually right after the bomb strapped to their chest went off.
lol
Israel is in the Middle East. He was Middle Eastern.
Not white.
Oh? It’s because they thought white people were more “more supreme”? Not just because each people depicts persons as looking like their own people in art? In Africa, Christ and Mary are often depicted African, is this also because they think they are “more supreme”
I don’t disagree on your point about what Jesus might have looked at, and I don’t know either, but you can’t say this art is racist because they painted him white…
They were racist anyway.
Nice try, though.
You’re a racist. Racist.
And you’re a troll. Troll.
Rabbit Asslicker is a racist. I heard him say he hates blacks.
Your mom’s a racist.
Yo mama so racist
And you are an angry poster, Angry Poster.
If depicting him as white is racist, then depicting him as black is also racist. You analysis is correct. The main point in it possibly not being racist is that in very old art the artists may not have been able to conceive of other types. However they would certainly depict him as an ideal.
Any depiction of Jesus is heretical however. 2nd commandment and all. Early christians certainly thought so.
RE: “Any depiction of Jesus is heretical however. 2nd commandment and all. Early christians certainly thought so.”
Actually, there are numerous depictions of Jesus from the time of early Christianity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Good_shepherd_02b_close.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ChristAsSol.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Christ_with_beard.jpg
Ironically, he was often depicted as the Good Shepherd, who is a beardless young man tending sheep, rather than as the teacher or redeemer he’s shown as in later artwork. Even more ironically, many of those early depictions, though found in churches and undoubtedly Christian in origin, are almost exact duplicates of earlier depictions of Apollo and/or Orpheus. Even the now ubiquitous “Christian” halo was “borrowed” from Pagan art; it originally represented the sun disk behind the head of whichever solar deity was being portrayed, again often Apollo.
I’m also not sure the 2nd Commandment applies to Jesus. That whole Trinity thing makes a lot of Old Testament law very murky. Jesus is said to have been both God and Man. It’s OK to show a man in art, but not God. So… does the Commandment apply or not? The vast majority of Christians today – and dating back to the hegemony of the first “universal” church – seem to have no problem with portraying both the Man Jesus (during his earthly life) *and* the God Jesus (during the Ascension or sitting in majesty in Heaven).
Sorry for the nested comments, but this STUPID SITE sometimes won’t let me post comments, but other times it will. WTF?!
Christianity reset the rules. Old Testament rules don’t necessarily apply. All the silly laws are null and void.
yeah, and and another thing: the bible contradicts its self in many places because it was written by dozens of different guys with different at different times.
Please point out some instances where it contradicts itself as opposed to just spouting something that you think is common knowledge.
This should help:

Right at the very beginning. Dinosaurs.
Jesus Christ: “I’m not here to replace the law I’m here to fullfill the law”.
I didn’t know Jesus said that! What section of the bible is that in?
Judge Dredd: “I am the law!”
A point of debate, but certainly many protestant strains explicitly forbid it. Also, in depicting Jesus you are making a picture based on pure fantasy. The bible barely describes Jesus except in his ascended form. Also it is still making an image to worship rather than the real thing. It is not the depiction of god that is forbidden, it is making an image to worship. Even if you could depict god you would be directing your prayer to a fake.
The fact that he is depicted with long hair is a certain indication that he is not Jesus. At the time having long hair for men was considered shameful and Paul even says so in the bible. He would not call Jesus shameful.
Christians very often still refer to the commandments. Certainly many of the old rules don’t apply, but the commandments seem to be pretty accepted among christians. Catholics protraying Jesus can thus be seen as blasphemers or heretics. Of course, being the main brand of christianity makes it difficult to make such accusations stick. Many brands of protestantism certainly do think so and forbid at least the depiction of saints (which they don’t believe in).
No one is necessarily worshiping this painting, though. As long as no one does, there’s nothing wrong with the painting. I like art like this because it expresses ideas without using words. It represents something.
Ack, this was meant to be a reply to reijer. Site glitched.
Yes, the Judeo-Christian myth has borrowed a lot from older myths. In fact the whole “Noah’s Ark” myth was ripped off.
There are a LOT of things that modern Christianity has borrowed from other religions.
Christmas, for one.
*dodges stones*
And also the fact that they are all made up.
Maybe he was green and from outer space?…
jesus wasn’t white, we know this definitively. he was a middle easterner, so he was dark skinned.
JESUS WAS BLACK
1. He called everybody “brother”
2. He liked Gospel
3. He couldn’t get a fair trial
This made me smile.
+1,000 internets for you!
OH NO! GOD BEARD ACTIVAT-*smash*
Noah, Jesus, Darth Vader… they’re all fictional characters in nice stories…
god i hate trolls! of course darth vader was real. u just cant tell cause it was long long ago in a galaxy far away
^this
Why hello, hypocrative troll.
Damn it!!! I knew I would offend the Star Wars geeks!
and the christians?
They deserve to be ridiculed…
Hahahaha. You so qwazy, silly troll.
When you make ridiculous claims, prepared to be ridiculed. Especially on the Internets, where nothing is sacred, not even your childhood or your ponies.
If we look at statues and pictures of the Saints they have this light around their heads like a halo.
We see this also in Jesus Christ and the Blessed Mother. Not so much Noah
The arc was full?! What kind of arc was it? Electric, angular, a good arc for a long shot?
It is impossible to tell what race Jesus Christ was, Galilee at the time was ethnically mixed.
You’re right!
And as we all know, there was no racism whatsoever in that era, so JC being black would totally not have been an issue.
Next time, use some fricking sense.
I am with namaedo on this. For all we know Jesus (if he ever actually existed) was a very short, very fat and ugly person of undeterminable color.
Meh, he would’ve had a hard time getting followers if he were that hideous.
not to mention fititng on the cross
Considering Noah was pretty old when he built the ark*, I think that’s probably not him in the picture.
According to the bible Noah lived to be 950, he was 600 when he completed the ark. If we accept those number then it is possible that he looked much younger at 600 than someone might look at 60.
It’s been an artistic convention for centuries to show Christ as dark haired. Considering he died in his early 30s, that makes sense. As you say, Noah was *way* older than his early 30s.
True, but as Ember mentioned, this is artistic depictions we’re talking about, not photographs. An artist would be not very likely to show Noah as being that young.
ARK, people, ARK. An arc is a section of a circle. An ark is a thing that keeps stuff safe. An arc wouldn’t do anybody any good in a flood.
Although the ark probably consisted of many arcs…
This is a painting of JESUS by LDS (Mormon) artist Del Parson.
This is just a painting, no need to get this deep into it about skin color…
I’m LDS and I imagine (and a lot of us agree) that of course he looked middle eastern, probably about 6 foot even, maybe a bit taller, with somewhat dark features.
They’re both imaginary. Who cares?
….is this supposed to be a t-rex or a velociraptor named “rex?” <3 jurassic park
With being black or white aside: Jesus lived some 30 years, he died relatively young while Noah was an old man, his children all (or at least some) already married. => He is usually shown as an old man because he was exactly that.
And before you’d say that some biblical figures lived over hundreds of years: They’ve grown Gray hair at about 50 or so as well.
Genesis 5:32 – And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. /KJV
that is before the flood in Genesis 6
does not look 500 to me…
What does a 500 year old look like? Oh wait, they don’t exist. Like god of Jesus.
Geezus! Here is my version: That is not Jesus nor Noah. That’s God (even if Jesus and God is the same person). God looks like a human (in every race), so it can be God. God told Noah to build an Arc and God told him to collect animals. So what if God also told him not to save dinosaurs?
In christian mythology, main-god said to Noah save a pair of ALL animals, fixing inbreeding depression with magic, and ignoring the pointless aspect of bringing a pair of species that reproduce asexually.
Dinosaurs are/were animals. Those creatures, some of which HUGE, aren’t mentionned in teh bible because they went extinct/evolved into different species millions of years before humans existed and cared about fossil records. From the same guys who thought the Earth was flat.
Er, because Noah was 600 years old at the time of the flood. Dude looks more like a 33 year old Jesus.
Also, clearly a velociraptor
Neither Jesus nor Noah were white or blond.
Can’t be Noah; a halo represents divinity in religious art. Noah wasn’t divine.
Can’t be Noah. A halo in religious art represents divinity. Noah wasn’t divine.
Jesus wasn’t alive when Noah built the ark. Your argument is invalid.
He wasn’t alive on Earth, if that’s what you mean.
I prefer black Jesus. The one with the afro. He’s awesome.
Girls, girls.
Stop arguing, for once.
Wasn’t Jesus a Mexican gardner?
I think you’re imagining “Hay-SOOS”. XD
Jesus = Legolas
Important to the story, no one knows what he looks like.
Sorry thats not Noah because Noah was an albino
Cause Jesus was black. Case closed.
This isn’t Jesus. He doesn’t look anything like the guy on my toast.
This is a good one. More like this.
Likely Jesus. At least that’s the feeling I get from the halo (moon). I suppose the halo symbol could be used in art of Noah but probably less likely.
Not a T-Rex, That is a Velociraptor.
