Hey. I am sorry but I have to get this off my chest right now. I can't help but look at those pictures of Jesus on the internet. That is some really bad photos. They have no life in them and I know Jesus has more heart then that. I am starting to think maybe some people don't really know Jesus at all and only worship in vain or only love him the way he is represented in this world. Especially and in those pictures. I dont think many people have come to know Jesus for who he really is. I am sorry but I do not like those photos cause they misrepresent him and when I look at them there's no life in them at all. Wouldn't it have been better just to not make photos of him at all and just go by his teachings? What is the purpose of them pictures though? If nobody know what Jesus really look like, why not just leave at that and not misrepresent him by portraying him in such things as such. Especially those pictures. I know a lot of people say they love Jesus and they are close to him and they probably are but I really do wonder why people sometimes do. why some people worship and love Jesus the way they do? Because we have a person here with a heart (a beautiful one too hehe) and feelings like us. A person being misunderstood and misrepresented in the world causing some to overlook who Jesus really is or could be and that there's probably more to it then one could imagine about him. Causing him to still be mocked ridiculed and despised in the world because some people just don't get it...

I would ignore any and all pictures anyway. We don't know "exactly" what he looked like. We have a very brief and overly general description of him. So any and all pictures and drawings and paintings we see are only left to the imagination of the artist. And then sadly, because we don't forget what we see, those are the images that then come to mind when we consider him.

It reminded me of the story of "The Giving Tree," which I interpret as the sacrificial love of God (Christ the Tree of Life) for His children (doves).

And I didn't mean no one could love Jesus..I did not mean it that way..I am sure lots of people do get it and do love him but when I read and hear some of the stuff people say about him it seems like the reason Is because how he is portrayed in those movies and photos..The Jesus hollywood made up..

Agree Christ said His sheep will know His voice

there is no need for pictures or symbols

I would ask any who hold these things high why

God is Spirit and to be worshipped in Spirit

Not with photos and symbols that originate from paganism

In the book it's a boy instead of doves.
it seems like a story about control and abusive behavior to me..it's so obvious and this is my first time reading that story.. it seems like a son who is under his mothers control or some form of odd abuse...and since he got used to her giving..he became dependant on that and never learned how to depend on himself..he always relied on the tree ...I could be wrong but the story screams some kind of abuse..like the tree is relying on the boy also ..like a parent would still will treat a child like baby when they grow up as adults..I also assume the tree needed the boy so she spoiled or manipulated him in some way to depend on her just to keep him there..I don't know but I know it does not have anything to do with doves....unless there are doves like that...

No it's about control and abuse...
Which is how we behave most of the time in relation to what Christ did and does for us. We abuse His love and yet, He is always charitable towards us.

how do you abuse his love? I don't think I have ever done that at least not intentionally...
