Reps: 341,973,460,036 (power: 341,973,469) | | | According to my tradition, Jesus Christ's beard was full (he did not shave) but thin, with a thin mustache. FYI.
I doubt this question is important for one's salvation, although the implications to this question are interesting and those may have an impact on one's salvation.
1) Is your Jesus a racially-bound one (ie. is He Germanic with a full, thick mustache and beard and blue eyes - think 19th century devotional art - or is He black - as in Ethiopic art)?
2) Does your Jesus follow a tradition, any tradition, and what does that say about you? Are you someone who avoids traditions yet fall into one here? Are you a Christian that belongs to a Tradition of some kind (whether Catholic, Baptist, Calvinist, Orthodox, or whatever) yet find yourself holding to another Traditions's image of Christ?
3) Should you be following a tradition or Tradition at all? ... given your beliefs, given your understanding of the Bible.
4) Should you be putting an image to Christ? ... given your beliefs, given your understanding of the Bible.  |

Reps: 68,255 (power: 86) | | I think that by the sound of him, appearances wouldnt have been his priority, however, it makes you wonder if he shaved or kept his beard neat now and then. Doesnt seem to mention much about how he lived his personal life in the bible - just his teachings.
Nothing like: Thou shall keep your beard neat and tidy or thou shalt brush your teeth twice a day....

I'd like to know what he looked/looks like, but I don't sit around wondering what type of beard he has.  |
