Because it's easy to turn completely fictional characters to whatever you want and suits you. No reason to not turn Jesus into a chinese man, easier for the Chinese to relate that way and it's irrelevant either way given the personm never existed.

I ain't seen too many blue pakis running around.

Jesus was real. The Romans never once doubted his existence while they were actively trying to suppress Christianity. If he wasn't real, according to their own records and information, they definitely would have said so.

The earliest image of Jesus is basically one step above a stick figure. The popular image of Jesus didn't appear until a few hundred years later

By the fourth century, Central and Southern Europe had adopted Christianity wholesale, and they basically just took the current image of Jesus and put it over Zeus in their iconography. Because that's how they understood what the imagery of a god was to look like, and they're both bearded white guys with larger frames (in the European representations Jesus is usually well built. Most likely because Greek tradition of sculpture and painting was basically all of well built men. So that's just how they knew how to make depictions)

they're actually sitting around the table and not just one side of it

Dyauspitar = God the Father
Jesus and the real original monotheistic Zeus are one and the same.

>W-t-f bro, they could never have muddled the iconography of their old religious traditions to a new one which had none of its own iconography beyond a fucking cross and a fish.
>Let's play Jesus or Zeus

Zeus was kind of a shitty god for real. Just constantly doing fucked up shit. But that doesn't mean the Greeks didn't know how to sculpt the human form. So, since Greek artistry was at or near it's peak during the advent of Christianity, and ubiquitous with the pagan Roman world that Christianity would over take, most of the actual artistic tradition comes from deviations of what was already there.

Because on a subconscious level, this type of iconography is how they understood the gods. So of course they drew their new one in line with the traditions they were already familiar with.

Painter: Ok, so how did this guy we are supposed to worship look like?
Patron: I dunno, like a dude...
Painter: A dude?
Patron: Yeah, a dude, but a wise one.
Painter: So what? Like your cousin that joined to monastery?
Patron: I guess but wiser, like really holy!
Painter: Ok, i'll put a halo to make him stand out!
Patron: Excelent. Here's a year's pay!

Zeus was kind of a piece of shit

Also, bible literally mentions this concept
>And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
King James
>I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty’—but I did not reveal my name, Yahweh (YHWH), to them.
More literal translation

No he wasn't. Neither were the apostotles or many christian saints. It's all fiction and you need to take your legal drug dealers meds if you think any of this shit is real and not simply fictional stories/propaganda.

There's more evidence for the existence of Jesus than most historical figures not named "the great"
If you can't handle this, you can't handle any serious discussion

History isn't about what you want dickhead

used to be thic women and animals before the indo aryans came, i guess its beneficial , the local leader becomes god-like with many loyal subjects

These historical figures are just as fake. There's nothing serious about your larp. Imagine thinking you're an enemy of the in any way system and gulping down retarded historical narratives some academic fags push on you. Napoleon didn't exist either and you would have known that if you bothered reading old books to see that even his very name is a canonoized revision by later academics. You literally posted pics of the fictional Jesus character changing through the years and yet are still unable to smell the bullshit. I guess you're one of these gullible people and in that case nothing can be done. The elites literally feed their entire existence on people like you.

Also your last statement is extremely ironic. Of course history isn't what I want "dickhead", It's what your christkikian masters want it to be and will be revised once again in the following years. You're a jewish puppet if you believe in history.

Kek, no way that's real

Gook Muhammad?

Gooks are confirmed low IQ tier retards then

Roman eyewitness accounts says jesus was bald ugly midget with hunchback
