PUZZLE.

A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little

girl, Shelby.

She wanted to know what the United States looked like.

Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed

the map of the country.

Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to Shelby, and said, "Go into

the other room and see if you can put this together. This will show you our

whole country today."

After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him the map correctly

fitted together.

The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly.

"Oh," she said, "on the other side of the paper is a picture of Jesus. When I

got all of Jesus back where He belonged, then our country just came

together."

AMEN.

I've read a theory that Jesus was exceptionally short and had a hunch back. The authors say that his image was made attractive so that it would be easier for the masses to "adore" him. Typically, good looks are essential for popular success. I don't think it really matters what he looked like. Like any good book. You read it and make up your own image of what the characters should look like and it always disappoints me when they put a picture on the cover. Then they make a movie and he is supposed to look like Willem Defoe or Mel Gibson.

What did Gandhi look like? Ben Kingsley

Jesus was just a man. Probably a perfect man, with straight black hair, brown skin, about 5'10, not a mighty man, like the depiction of Jesus in Brazil. One good place to look is in the prophecies of Muhammad, who claimed to have seen Jesus, on his mirage to heaven, and in dreams. According to one tradition it said that Muhammad told his followers, 'There is none closer to Jesus, son of Mary, than me,' or something to that effect. Also Muhammad said of Jesus, 'the best of the brown people' or something to that effect.

Does it matter? Safe bet he didn't have blue eyes.

How dare you accuse the Italian Roman Catholic Church of doing anything but telling the truth and telling it like it was. Jesus couldn't have been the black man that you claim him to be because we all know Moses was the black man in question.

Jesus, being the cool dude that we know him to be, had, because he was all powerful and all knowing (omniscient), knew that the melanin in the skin created the colour of the persons skin. He opted out for bringing in his lifetime supply of U.V. resistant lotions, hence, the colour white. Not really white... more pinkish.

Anything other than this synopsis is pure fabrication too.

Of course since we have no photo's or contemporary artists renditions of Yeshua of Nazareth we can on guess at what he looked like.

I just found Jesus. He was behind the couch!

Thanks for the chuckle.

I don't know. All they said was that I looked like Jesus. Long hair gets that reaction from people. I wonder what they would've said if I'd had dreadlocks?

kensloft wrote: Wasn't there an ark of the covenant?That used to be one important piece of furniture! I've heard it was hidden by the prophet Jeremiah in a cave in Mount Nebo before Nebuchadnezzar took Jerusalem. Chuck Missler (who has said a lot of very interesting and probably true other things) has a theory that it was buried under the hill of Calvary, and Jesus blood trickled down through a crack to it when He was crucified- a story I think is goofy. I don't think we'll ever see the old ark again- Jeremiah says somewhere that we don't need it anymore.

I believe the real ark is the throne of God. Jesus stands before the Father on His throne at this moment pleading our cases in the final judgment.

There's a description of what Jesus looks like now, in Revelation 1:13-16

"And among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man," dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance."

I saw Bob Dylan in Bakersfield a couple of years ago. He didn't look like that.

Just keep it up, kalanu. Why do you think you know more than everyone else? If you want to be heard you talk to people not at them.

Do you look like Jesus too?

Neither black nor white...how convenient.

Christ was a semite, neither black nor white.

Here is a description of him by the prophet Isaiah:

Isa 53:1Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

Isa 53:2For 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, no [physical] beauty that we should desire him.

Isa 53:3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Isa 53:4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

As for the Roman Catholic Church telling the truth? If you mean doctrinal truth, I'd like to see some.

Heh. Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Gosh Golly!!!

I had a really tough day and I come home to read this. And I still didn't edit it. Guess I'm "bigger" than I thought I was.

I do not consider my job here to be "little" this is a wonderful forum and I plan on keeping it that way. I think you are the one who needs to go back and read the bible again in an unbiased way. I am trying to let you know not just how I perceive you but how others are likely, and seemingly, perceiving you as well. If you intend to sound spiritual...YOU DO NOT. You are annoying people. Please behave yourself. If you do not agree with my perception of you take a look at some other recent member posts. Get along or leave. There is no tolerance among our members for vanity and superiority complexes. I'm sure there are other forums that don't mind this. Go find them.
