There are no pictures of Jesus, save the picture of his life in the Gospel.

Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Scandinavian-looking Jesus? That's a new one. Any examples?

Christianity haters really get stuck on this point. The changing of Jesus from looking middle-eastern in depictions to Scandinavian happened across the drift of CENTURIES. The term 'Cultural Approbation' does not apply.

Now how about those African and also Mexico and Central and South American cultures that depict Jesus as some variation of Brown or Black ethnicity. Cultural Approbation there as well?

It's not really that big of a deal, it's just fun to point out because so many people think Jesus looked Caucasian when he wouldn't have

Why wouldn't he have? Jesus was Caucasian.
