Science insulting the image of Jesus

[JGG]

Pictured below is the Little River as it flows through Floyd County, Virginia. There was at one time a backslidden preachers son who was partying with friends near this location. As they drunk their liquor they decided it would be fun to have a baptism.

It was not too long after that this preachers son was fishing along a stretch near this location and a terrible storm arose and swept him to his death. Everyone of those friends recalled with fear the baptism they had not too earlier...

I would have a fear not to do the Lord Jesus up without the proper reverence and fear.

Ooh are we showing vacation slides? Let me go get mine...

I fail to see anything insulting....

That's because there isn't anything. The face is that of a typical Jewish peasant of the period, which, by all accounts, is exactly how Jesus lived his earthly life -- as a homeless, wandering street preacher.

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 when it was time for me to do a YouTube video...

Decent, loving and kind have NO physical attributes or physical type whatsoever. Quasi Moto was decent, loving and kind yet called hideous. "Ugly, pretty, and average" all can be kind, decent, and loving. Decent, loving and kind people can be found in every race, nationality, region, religion, social status, etc.............. Ones character is not based on ones appearance.

The guy the anthropologist came up with could EASILY be a decent, loving and kind person. I still really fail to see any issue with the photo.

From your post, one might infer you believe those of middle eastern descent are not kind, loving and decent. Is that what you really intended?

As Christ was a carpenter I would assume he was also athletic. Here is a picture of the Israeli soccer team in which none of them look nothing like the scientific images given...

Because there's absolutely no difference between an Israeli soccer player today and a wandering street preacher from 2,000 years ago... nope, they both lived exactly the same lives.

Do you ever get tired of explaining your idolatry?

so, which one of these millionaires is the one you thinks most looks like Jesus?

After 10,000 posts and 4 years? Sadly, not likely, but maybe it is a new interest for them.

Athletic is mostly exemplified as below the shoulders. The anthropologists picture was a head shot. What, on someone's head, differentiates them as athletic?

I still don't know what the original image is an 'insult'

To be taught for thousands of years the picture on the right is what Jesus looked like and then have people put clues together and say he more than likely could possibly look like the person on the right is an insult to some.

IMHO, those who are offended are focused on entirely the wrong aspects of Jesus if they are offended by any honest attempt at a rendition of what He may have looked like. Since there are no accurate examples, any depiction is an opinion and not worthy of our offense.

Our focus is to be on His teachings and His sacrifice, not His body, eye color, or His face.

Are you trying to rack up views or inflate numbers or something? I don't click on almost any link, but you are sure pushing this video an awful lot.

Jesus Christ Superstar... A very upset Jesus inside the temple driving out the money changers...

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!

Sorry, but you cannot possibly "get it right." You can guess at what He may have looked like just like everyone else. And, just like everyone else's guess, it is more likely wrong than right.

His gift to us was not His face, it was His sacrifice and His teachings.

In which... I do my best. I believe that the Joseph and Mary family was a respectable one... In which the science image was all wrong!

 

[Mayzoo]

Sigh, now you tie resectable with how a person's head looks? You honestly believe you can tell if a person is decent, kind, and respectable by how they look? That is called profiling and it is wrong on so many levels.

A person character is not tied in to how they look on the outside. Character is completely internal and cannot be seen.

Well, as much as anyone can tell: He's too dark, His nose is too short, He doesn't look enough like the shroud of Turin hoax and He looks like a criminal. But don't bother asking what "a criminal" looks like you'll just get his resume, maybe an anecdote about going on a picnic, possibly a sermon by his patron saint R. W. Shambach or a video of a lady speaking in tongues or more likely his vid on why Jesus looks like a modern Jew from Israel. In other words: no answer of a simple question.
