Pictures of Jesus

by **Olad** » Wed Feb 19, 2020 12:31 pm

Everyone, post your favorite picture of Jesus. You can say what you like about it or whatever else, but please keep it sincere, without mockery or flaming. Remember to respect our Savior at all times in this thread, or you will be asked to leave. No "actual irl Jesus", "scumbag Jesus", "black Jesus" (the tv series) or anything else like that. Only real pictures, and real, uplifting comments about them. Thank you, have a wonderful day. :bow:

I'll start us off with this one:

The reason I like it is because it shows how Jesus cares for each of us like he cares for the lamb in the picture.

Not a mod but, this doesn't belong in General, probably better suited in F7

My bad, I asked the mods to move it

Wouldn't this be better as part of the Christian Discussion thread?

If you consider Middle Eastern Semitic peoples from the 1st Century AD "white", then sure.

I hate that article. It's such clickbait. There is a measurable difference between the "average Jewish man in Jesus' time" and what a specific, individual Jewish man might have looked like. It's just an attention-grabbing headline. Jesus very well could've looked nothing like that. We'll never know for sure.

Unrelated, but the model reminds me of the "Talking Heads" from the first two Fallout games.

Weird. I could've sworn Judea was in the Middle East and that Jews were a Semitic people.

Agreed. We can never know how he really looks.

There is ample evidence both scripturally and historically that Jesus had a very fair complexion with blue eyes and blonde hair. Contrary to popular belief, he likely descended from Western Europeans, probably the Swabian peoples with a mix of Frankish blood as well.

There is no useful description of the physical appearance of Jesus given in the New Testament, and the depiction of Jesus in pictorial form was controversial in the early Church.[1][2]

Ashkenazi Jews are not semitic. It's irrelevant though, Jesus was European.
