Jews of the time of Jesus were not white but they where not as brown as your picture depicts..
As for the rest.. Jesus to me is revealed in the Bible and that Bible is world wide.. Yes there are false views of Jesus most of which come from lack of knowledge of scriptures, some does however come from twisted reports.. But in the end followers of Jesus need to find out from the Source about Jesus.. They need to take some personal responsibility..

@Adstar communism is abolition of private property and replacing it with common ownership
Right and Wrong.. Yes it abolishes people personally owning things.. But it replaces that with state ownership.. thats why John Lennon sang the lyrics ""Imagine no possessions"" in his Imagine communist promoting song..
Now if a person does not have any personal possessions then they cannot give anything to another person as charity,, can they. A 20 dollar bill must first be yours before you give it to the beggar on the street.. If you own nothing you cannot share anything with another because you have to first own something to give it away or share it.. Communism ends Charity..
communism has always been backed by state power.. Communism needs state power to exist.. Humans don't give up their property without the threat of violence.. remember what happened to the Private Ukrainian farmers when starlin decided to nationalize their farms.. Stalin confiscated their food until he and his NKVD thugs has starved the farmers into submission or death..
If jesus existed today hed be friends with todays social outcasts which is mostly transgender people.
Yes He would be and still is their Friend.. he loves them.. But he does not love their SIN.. I want transgenders to be saved but i will never seek to justify their transgenderism.. Just as Jesus loves murderers and wants to save them.. I want murderers to be saved but i will never try to justify their acts of murder... This is a basic Christian teaching.. Love the sinner Hate the sin.. It's something that so so so many people just cannot comprehend.. Especially the wokist extremists.. They think hating the sin = hating the sinner.. They cannot understand how you can hate the sin while at the same time loving the sinner.. So in their minds Christians hate the LGBTQ community.. NO.. I want each and every LGBTQ person to be with me in Gods eternal perfect Paradise..
And yeah some Christians are not Christians..
But oddly enough Some of the most hard core street preachers are considered by the Woke as the greatest haters of the LGBTQ community when all they are doing is informing them of their Sin.. Thus revealing to them their NEED for the Atonement of the LORD Jesus.. Because they want the LGBTQ people to end up being forgiven and SAVED from the eternal lake of fire..
Once again many non Christian cannot get their minds around the concept of loving the sinners but hating sin... So they conclude that the Christian street preacher MUST hate both the Sinner ans their sins..
I'm off to bed.. It is past midnight here in Australia.. cya tommorow God willing..

@Adstar communism and state are an oxymoron. Thats like saying anarchism and capitalism need each other to exist. Communism workers owned co operatives in a stateless society

@Adstar Just one point;
Jesus did not "found" any religions. Judaism was already some 2 to 3 millennia old by his time; established by the likes of Moses and Abraham but probably drawing on Zoroastrianism and other contemporary, older faiths.
He was Jewish, as were his disciples; and his teachings would likely have remained a Jewish sect had the Roman Empire not converted to Christianity, which was established some 3 centuries after his death.
Nor of course was he any sort of political figure, although the Jewish temple elders saw him as a threat to their power. The Romans did not usually oppress local religions in their Empire, as long as these were not seen as a threat - as when they later persecuted the early Christians.

Some of the errors in the left hand column are the same as Jesus's contemporaries had about the nature of the Messiah. This list is simplistic and on both sides there are serious errors. I'll illustrate with just two:
The Bible is quite clear that Jesus did die to clear the debt of personal sin.
The critique was of legalistic religion and hypocrisy that prevented people coming close to God.
By the way, there never was nor could be a Jewish 'church'.

Both completely full of half truths and outright lies.
Christ was God in the flesh (God the Son) he took the punishment we all deserve and had God's wrath poured on him for our sin, so that those who trust in him and his sacrifice will not be damned to hell but have everlasting life. What's more on the third day he rose again- not a Republican suit or a hippy socialist either (though you don't get many hippy socialists these days 🤭)

@Guitarman123 That's not what the church should be about either.
But the Gospel is about eternal salvation and being saved from hell, not some far left Marxist ideology which has failed in every Country it's ever been tried in. Let me guess.
. USSR "That wasn't proper socialism"
. Cuba- "That wasn't proper socialism"
. Nicaragua- "That wasn't proper socialism"
. Venezuela- "That wasn't proper socialism"
. Guatemala- "That wasn't proper socialism"
😆

@BritishFailedAesthetic none of them were communist countries and never claimed to be. Unlike these so called Christians who pretend to follow the teachings of jesusthey knew that theyd have to develop towards communism and adapt socialism to the environment of their countries. Marxism has never been implemted
