[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] For all practical purposes, Jesus in today's terms was a Palestinian... These people were probably just as multi-ethnic back then as they are today. At least his father wasn't a local, apparently. And while it's likely he spoke Arameic, there are several other possibilities in that area as well. Depends a lot on his real family background and upbringing - the Gospels are highly suspect in this respect. But basically, anybody dressing up like a guy from an altar painting should be automatically free of charges of blasphemy or impersonation. Whatever Jesus looked like, long- and straight-haired, tastefully bearded 180 cm Scandinavian type in a white robe *wasn't* it. (Somebody is clearly confusing him with Gandalf the Grey in his youth, before he lost the discount coupon to the cleaner. Although I'd rather have copyright trouble with the church than with Peter Jackson...) Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
