Citizenschallengev4, that’s not Jesus. That’s a wannabe whitey who wants to be JC.

A lot. As an apostate of the Episcopal Church, there were some who truly believed that after the priest blessed the wine and wafers, they really were the body and blood of Christ (many Catholics believe the same) and the act of cannibalism caused them to be part of the body of Christ, which gave them the “warm fuzzies”, so to speak. If you made any attempt to counter that by saying it’s JUST symbolism, they’d get extremely upset, just as if you denied their God existed. I suspect this was also part of the Inquisition/Crusades. This theological difference between Catholic/Episcopalian and Protestantism, is a big thing. My relatives were for far right Evangelical Protestants and they’d be just as upset if you insisted it really was the blood and body of Christ and not symbolic. They’d also get upset if you instead on wine, instead of grape juice too.
You’re talking about something completely different. Phenotype means the physical appearance of Christ, e.g. what he supposedly looked like.

Of course, white Xians believe he was white with blue eyes and light brown hair, Black Xians believe he was Black, with brown eyes and black hair, etc etc.
