Science insulting the image of Jesus

I tend to agree.

But I would much rather view Him looking like this now:

Jesus also appears in Revelation as a wounded lamb. Apparently what Jesus looks like is not quite a cogent question in the pleroma. It's more a matter of what Jesus is like.

Isn't such a video the digital equivalent of a "graven image"?

And odds are numerous people will be offended by your rendition much as you are the one in the first post. They may call into question whether you have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit just as you you have called into question others. You have your "facts". They have their "facts". You are almost as likely right and almost as likely wrong as they are.

Now, my question is what possible difference does it make what Christ looked like? Focusing so heavily on his apperance detracts from His sacrifice and His message. IMO anything we do to detract from His sacrifice and His message is the true insult.

He was tortured, tormented and crucified; yet, he readily forgave those who did those things. I rather doubt He gives a flip how He is depicted physically so long as His message is not altered or ignored.

Christ insulted by a drawing? Not a possible chance. He is simply not petty. He also is wise enough to look to a person's heart and soul to examine their virtue and worth. He does not make His decisions on our worth based on if we "look like a criminal" or if we "look like we do not have virtue."

I would also imagine He has a whole list of things that are actually important to oversee.

FTW.
tulc(well done)

Revelation 1:14-15 (KJV)
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

(Isa 53:2) For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

Sounds like, "and verily, he shall falleth from the Ugly Tree and hitteth every branch as he shall plummet..."

If that prophecy really does refer to Jesus.... thread over.

I thought He looked like this:

LOL--I doubt He would have been ugly--as in repulsive. People were drawn to Him. I do believe there was kindness in His face. And the bible says He had no blemish. He just wouldn't win any beauty contests. Definitely no Tab Hunter.

You know that's not actually a picture of Josephus, right? That's an 18th century romanticized illustration for a biography of him. This:

is more likely how he (Josephus) looked.

And even that likely isn't accurate. Art then even more the now was not always representational, including sculptures.

I'm surprised we didn't include Sir Ian McKellen's Gandalf in that list:

But that's right; I forgot... Sir Ian McKellen wore a fake nose!

You must have missed that up thread. Rocky did use Sir McKellen but immediately retracted the comparison when he was informed that Sir McKellen was gay.

Missed it? I'm the one who informed Rocky that Sir Ian is gay...

My desire is to do the loving savior up as someone descent, loving, and kind. As far as Jesus portrayers I like the Jim Caviezel guy. I love visiting the Polynesia and finding the images done up with honor and with crowns of flowers...

And it doesn't bother you in the slightest that the image in no way represents what Jesus actually looked like?

Your desire to worship the images of Jesus (particularly the ones you made yourself) in the place of the genuine article is pretty much the textbook definition of idolatry.
