He who would be like the Christ must study of his life and works and get the correct image of the man he is following. So the graphic image of the Christ is most important!
I must say that I have never had a problem with an image of Jesus with those of whom this site considers Orthodox. But with the science version I am like... Who is this guy?
An Orthodox image of the Christ, all reverently done up!
It's this kind if thing that lead to the reformation.
Seeing this portrayal of Jesus is causing me great stress! I just might lawyer up......
Gee... God forbid that we should actually honor the Lord Jesus!
A bit general and flippant I admit, I was thinking of the destruction of many church fixtures during the reformation, of stained glass windows and statues. There was a dispute amongst the Calvanists and Luther regarding idolatry and the depiction of religous figures.I'm interested to hear why? Really just curious.

It's a matter of getting it right. This is the fourth try. I did another one of Isaiah before God the Father... That one was done over several times... It would be a hard time imaging Isaiah before the thrown of the great Heavenly Father and doing it justice!
Here is a rendering using the mathematical proportions from the Golden Ratio along with the Shroud of Turin. Scripture tells us that: “..He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him...” Is 52:2, so I don't think we need to think of Him as handsome, such as the glamour world of culture does. However, I think He was charismatic in the sense that when He walked into a room (or by a lake), He received everyone's attention - a commanding presence. People naturally dropped whatever they were doing and listened to him. We will never know (in this life) what He looked like.

I meant no offense...or disrespect
Would not the Jews clean the blood off the body before shrouding it?...I doubt they have his image on a shroud...he looked Jewish ..that's about it imo
To my knowledge Einstein spoke only ever metaphorically about God or spirituality. I highly doubt that he would ever have considered his equations to be pertinent to calculating how "spiritual" one is... What a weird concept...
For one of the best interpretations of Einstein that I've read, you should look at Arthur Fine's The Shaky Game.
We need to make sure to go to God's word for answers instead of going to the world.
We don't have ANY "images/portraits" of Jesus for a simple fact.....we would start worshipping the picture instead of God. It's like the christians who get mad over bible burning...who cares? The word of God is MORE THAN a book or physical piece of paper.
The bible states Jesus looked like a normal man.
We DO know some physical characteristics of Jesus...for an example, he had short hair (It is a shame for a man to have long hair).
