The letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar

This is a reprinting of a letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar describing the physical appearance of Jesus. Copies are in the Congressional Library in Washington, D.C.

TO TIBERIUS CAESAR:

A young man appeared in Galilee preaching with humble unction, a new law in the Name of the God that had sent Him. At first I was apprehensive that His design was to stir up the people against the Romans, but my fears were soon dispelled. Jesus of Nazareth spoke rather as a friend of the Romans than of the Jews. One day I observed in the midst of a group of people a young man who was leaning against a tree, calmly addressing the multitude. I was told it was Jesus. This I could easily have suspected so great was the difference between Him and those who were listening to Him. His golden colored hair and beard gave to his appearance a celestial aspect. He appeared to be about 30 years of age. Never have I seen a sweeter or more serene countenance. What a contrast between Him and His bearers with their black beards and tawny complexions! Unwilling to interrupt Him by my presence, I continued my walk but signified to my secretary to join the group and listen. Later, my secretary reported that never had he seen in the works of all the philosophers anything that compared to the teachings of Jesus. He told me that Jesus was neither seditious nor rebellious, so we extended to Him our protection. He was at liberty to act, to speak, to assemble and to address the people. This unlimited freedom provoked the Jews — not the poor but the rich and powerful.

Later, I wrote to Jesus requesting an interview with Him at the Praetorium. He came. When the Nazarene made His appearance I was having my morning walk and as I faced Him my feet seemed fastened with an iron hand to the marble pavement and I trembled in every limb as a guilty culprit, though he was calm. For some time I stood admiring this extraordinary Man. There was nothing in Him that was repelling, nor in His character, yet I felt awed in His presence. I told Him that there was a magnetic simplicity about Him and His personality that elevated Him far above the philosophers and teachers of His day.

Now, Noble Sovereign, these are the facts concerning Jesus of Nazareth and I have taken the time to write you in detail concerning these matters. I say that such a man who could convert water into wine, change death into life, disease into health; calm the stormy seas, is not guilty of any criminal offense and as others have said, we must agree — truly this is the Son of God.

Your most obedient servant,
Pontius Pilate

dreamhunk, read josephus yourself. he gives an eyewitness description of Jesus Christ, a Jew from 2000 years ago, who had BLOND HAIR, fine features, was tall and wasn’t dark skinned. Jews and others in the Levant coast have always had some blond and red haired people although that is the minority coloring for them.

and here’s an interesting link citing research:

Julian condemns people for not backing up their statements with sources… and then he follows it up by presenting his archaic version of Mother Goose as being some kind of authoritative source. Well, I have a Spider Man comic here that says you’re full of it, you stupid, superstitious shmendrik.

Unfortunately, not one of you so called intelligent persons have probably read the original paper regarding the Cohanin Modal Haplotype (“CMH”) and obviously unable to comment on its strengths or limitations. Additionally, I have not seen any comments or references to any scientific studies that contradict the original findings. Like most, you heard something on the news or by some other medium, and you are simply repeating those sources without any independent verification on your part. I will not waste my time citing for you such resources, and they do exist, because most of you have made up your mind already. But try this at least, read the TORAH, it sets forth the true prophecies regarding the Children of Israel and their position in the latter and last days, and then compare the scriptures to those who say they are Israel seeds, and decide for yourself. The Children of Israel are of the seed Shem (EBER)then Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Ya knows his hidden ones and at that of their unveiling many faces will drop when they are revealed. The very people you call a no people, slaves, foresaken, and every byword known to man, are his people, and all nations have had a hand in violence against them, and will pay according to the TORAH. So laugh now while you can, however, the real Israel will be redeemed. Just wait a little longer and believe DNA will not be the litmus test.

I have done much research or studying of the Hebrew language but people are saying that Hebrews has roots into Africa.

If you believe in evolution this holds true

A group of people can lie about its origin but not about its language, and Yiddish language speaking by the Azkenazis is a slavo germanic language of no Semite origin. Also in this article of Dr Harry Ostrer there ‘s a link not only between Sepharad and Azkenazi but also to Italian.Apparently they share the same kind of genetic basic. So where does it stop at? Taking samples from 200 people out of 15 millions of jews is ”infinitesimal” and can not be a tool of modelisation. Otherwise by chain reaction and extrapolation all the mediteranean people are caucassian and this closes the debate. He took also samples from people from the middle east apparently. Well, most of the libanese and Syrians have turkish origin and this after 6 centuries of Ottoman presence over there. Although the Khazar are known also to be of Turkish origin. If the study would be made on a more wide level it can be a major point. What about the Khazar origin as being from Ham, in the Bible. The canaanite were the first ethnic in Palestine also, and the Turks are from Ham as well.
Last point, Medina original name was YATRIB built by the arabic tribe of beni Qar wa Qarn who converted to Judaism, nothing else, as about 5 major arabic tribes were Jewish by cnversion. The Arabs are Semite from Ihmael (The book of Jubilee).

@ Maccabee+cgray

People defending their position and calling them Hitler is a cheap shot and ignorance on their own. and to call Arabs savages? Sounds like the bile The Nazi’s themselves would spew about Jews being vermin. Ignorance and Racism is no defense to attack a person. This blog is for the purpose of debate. Not scurrying yourselves to put down people or act like a 5 year old bully in a play pen with too much to prove.

If there’s any rebuttal to dremhunks’ statement (and opinion) do it with intelligence. Don’t let your own insecurity turn you into The Nazi’s and Arab Savages you hate.

You did not like my links on racism towards blacks form” white Jews”! But it’s OK for people to call me Hitler. It’s good to know Ethiopian Jews are treated like dirt because of their skin color. There were no white people in the land in those days. I am sorry but it’s the truth. I gave just some of the list of reasons. It has nothing to do with hate it’s called facts and truth.

To Dreamhunk: Please do not spread your multiple BS. Get a life! You’re mixing Jews with Arabs like yourself which are not Semites AT ALL with an exception of those who forcefully converted to Islam by the Arab savages since Mohammad’s genocidal conquest on a Hebrew City-State Medina which name was from Hebrew name “Medinat” which stands for a State. The official name of the resurrected from ashes Hebrew State on The Holy Land is Medinat Yisroel. The letter “T” in Medinat is not pronounced. Some genetically similar to Jews Arabs was born from Mohammad and his gang members by impregnating captured by fire and sword Jewish girls from Medina and other Hebrew towns in the Middle East. Arabs never belonged to Semites and never prior Mohammad’s conquest got any land or state and relationship to Jews and Abraham. Therefore, Quoran is a fraud.

If you believe in evaluation who was first blacks or whites

this is the ultimate proof that Ashkenazi Jews don’t look like this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIFQkhDQTh4

What this article left out is that Jews are genetically identical to Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Also the article left out that Tay Sachs is just as common in the French in Canada and the Cajuns in the United States. I doubt the comment box will allow me to post sources but legitimate science websites can be found with a quick Google search that confirm this.

also i recommend looking up historians such as Josephus about the ancient Hebrews

dreamhunk, is the study flawed because its findings contradicts with your personal views? The study included the three major types of Jews, including Ashkenazi Jews.

“Just look at how many blue eyed, blonde haired Jews there are”

Oh really? Can you name one famous blonde haired blue eyed Jew?

By: dreamhunk

dreamhunk — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 16:09:30 +0000

The populations that the samples were taken from are a minority within the Jewish population. This study is deeply flawed by selecting only certain segments of the Jewish population that are more likely to be related to the original Middle Eastern genome population. Just look at how many blue eyed, blonde haired Jews there are. They’re obviously not Middle Eastern. The modern day Jew is mostly of Euroean origin rather than Middle Eastern. Jewish people of Middle Eastern descent are now the minority.
