What did Jesus look like'

[Daisy]

That is a personal question that has nothing to do with your claim.

Sure it does...if you're not, then it's NORB...

Never said you were obligated. But it is obvious you are afraid to.

If Jesus is a fictional person than those who worship him may imagine Him in ways that they feel are more personally related


An image using ancient style by R. Lentz


Jesus re-imagined as a Maori with the traditional Moko face tattoo

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

When you pray to Him, what image of the being is in your mind?

Is it this?

This is a painting by Warner Sallman (1940) and is seen by many as the best portrait of Jesus. Millions of copies have been distributed around the world since the end of WWII.

Do you think He really looked like this?

He's much thinner now.

Guess you are afraid to justify your views.

She knows that she cannot justify her views with a rational claim. That is why she doesn't reply to me, or maybe she has me on ignore' because I don't tolerate religious nonsense.

Honestly, I have no views of CHRIST when I pray. I just pray.

Obviously not

Why worry? Not that I want to get sucked in to a race baiting whatnot, nor do I care about outward appearance, my Savior looked like whatever people looked like back in the day. Not important in the greater scheme of things.
What is important to me is meeting Him some day, and I will, because I accepted Him as my Lord and Savior.
What is it that they say? It will be for me to know and for others to find out if they want to.

Some would say he had the TRUTH...

People weigh if someone is telling the truth differently.
Some focus on social standing, others on logic, yet others if the message resonates in their souls. But all are imperfect.

He looks like a used car salesman to me.

That is true but it still does not change the truth of God's Word, which is perfectly inspired from God...

Which of course, is only the Torah.

I thought Trump was Jesus.......

 

[Rumpel]

I thought Trump was Jesus.......

Some here still think so, as it seems:
Trump = Jesus
Biden = Satan
That is the Gospel for some ....

 

[Grand Mal]

Not at all...I do notice the Jew's hatred for Christians, though...beginning with Christ...

Christ wasnt a Christan. What an absurd thought. He was a Jew.

If he existed, then your "Savior" probably looked like one of these two guys

Obsession over someone's looks is so...how shall I say it...so superficial...

The commonly understood meaning of "someone's looks" has more to do with whether that person is seen as attractive or unattractive and has little to do with their race or skin colour - well, it doesn't for those who aren't racist.

A Romanesque Jew, probably some features inherited from his Father and some from his Mother, though I have never seen any point or reason to pray to him or any other dead person.
Reasoned and rational self initiated action/reaction has always made more sense, as well as much more beneficially productive, to me than speaking to an invisible non-existent entity or an existing government representative, for that matter.

Really? What did “his Father” (or ”his Mother”) look like?

As are all “religious” images, statues, symbols or trinkets.

What Is a Graven Image?

Though it may not be the gods of wood or stone common in the Old Testament, Christians must be careful not to make their jobs, money, families, reputations, or anything else the center of their affections. For there is only One God.

No one knows what Jesus looked like, and it does not matter.

What does matter is perception of what he must have looked like allows for just as much latitude as how people follow the Bible.

Isn't that what my post answered? His Father likely a Roman soldier, his Mother a Jewish girl.
