how do you imagine Jesus' face?

[Tropical Wilds]

I don’t think it matters what he looks or looked like and I think speculating about it reveals more about us as people more than anything else. It highlights how we are a hyper-sexualized society that values attractiveness and beauty way more than is healthy.

I know He was definitely white, like MLK and all the righteous.

I personally believe the shroud of Turin is authentic to Christ, and here is a computer generated image of his wonderful face at the moment of resurrection.

That kinda looks like the dude who played Him in the Passion of Christ.


Why are you guys so sure about Turin...is it part of being RC?

Hopefully you guys get what I mean by this.

I believe the Bible should be our standard and whenever it speaks of righteousness, it uses the words "light" or "white" (correct me if I'm wrong). And unrighteousness is associated with darkness or blackness.

I don't know if this is a merely human thing being injected into scripture after the fact, or what. I will go with no on that, because I believe the word has been preserved and kept from gross human error.

So, yeah, the whole focusing on skin tone thing must be a divisive issue originating from carnal minds.

Of course, there are some mentions in scripture about different shades of humans, but not like we do today

I mean, who really is black, white, red, brown, yellow, etc...?

If anything, I think we can narrow it down to different shades of brown and red, maybe, or just darker/lighter skinned.

Ordinary. Very ordinary.

Something along these lines: serious looking. small boned. middle eastern jewish...no beauty or distinction

Yeah, I think this one, but maybe darker complexion and bushier hair.

The topic of Jesus’s appearance does not include discussing his appearance? LoL, Ok.

You don't have to what...BTW, you do know that the shroud is an Orthodox relic that was stolen from Constantinople in the crusades?
