Kramarik is a self-taught painter and says that Jesus spoke to her when she was four years old, encouraging her to draw and paint her visions. She began to draw at the age of four, was painting at six, and began to write poetry at seven. At the age of 8 years old, Akiane painted Jesus. <a href="https://i.postimg.cc/GtcbbpxK/A7988-BD1-FC83-4-A27-97-A5-61-E9-E0-E85-F8-E.jpg</a>" >[url]https://i.postimg.cc/GtcbbpxK/A7988-BD1-FC83-4-A27-97-A5-61-E9-E0-E85-F8-E.jpg">https://i.postimg.cc/GtcbbpxK/A7988-BD1-FC83-4-A27-97-A5-61-E9-E0-E85-F8-E.jpg">[url=https://postimages.org/]https://i.postimg.cc/GtcbbpxK/A7988-BD1-FC83-4-A27-97-A5-61-E9-E0-E85-F8-E.jpg The potrait of Jesus was verified by Colton Burpo when he was a young child and had a near death experience.

Fully God and fully human.
Wait till you see what he looks like when he returns...to one group he will be the most beautiful sigh they have ever beheld. Some will mourn when they look upon He whom they pierced. Some will fall down and worship praising Him and the Father. To another group the most fearsome thing they have ever seen...they will try to flee from the wrath that is to come. The rest of creation will rejoice at their liberation from sin and death for all eternity. |

Jesus was human. That's all we need to know about his demographics.
His race, gender, sex, ethnicity, the exact date he was born and all that other stuff is not important. The message he delivered means more. |

Quoted: A monk who had been a historian at the Vatican said this in a presentation. The Roman Emperors, over time, developed the myth that they were gods. Human until they became emperor. Their mothers were virgins and after death these emperors ascended to heaven. so when early Christians said that Jesus was born of a virgin and ascended to heaven all they were doing was comparing him to the roman emperor. View Quote Probably a Jesuit monk. The messianic prophecies pointing to Christ in the OT were around quite a few years before the Roman empire. |

Quoted: Incorrect. The hard line between gods and humanity has always been immortality (and to a lesser extent, the experience of "pain and suffering" as in gods inflict pain but do not themselves suffer it). Can a transcendental god ever share anything in common with the human experience? View Quote Fully God and fully man. So, to answer your question- yes. We're not meant to fully comprehend it, but duly acknowledge it in faith. |

View Quote Problem with that, none of them are remembered today. Too many people have sacrificed their lives for Jesus...would they do that based on a lie? I do not think so...Also to another point. No matter what the ethnicity, Jesus was not tall, nor short and not particularly outstanding in physical form. That is why he had to be pointed out in the garden. |

I always figured Jesus had olive skin, dark hair, dark eyes, and a big nose. Yes, that comes under the larger umbrella of "human."
Serious question: Why does anyone care what Jesus looked like? How does his appearance have any impact on his message? |

Some years back, an anthropologist did a reconstruction from the the skull of an 1st century Jewish man from what is now Israel, to show what Jesus may have looked like. There was an emphasis on hair length and beard types that were typical from that period.
There were a lot of (appropriate, in my opinion) comments about the "duh" expression this anthropologist put on the someone considered by over a billion people to be the son of God and the Messiah. The bottom picture is similar but much more "Messianic" looking. Attached File Attached File |

Levant is the name applied widely to the eastern Mediterranean coastal lands of Asia Minor and Phoenicia (modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon). In a wider sense, the term can be used to encompass the entire coastline from Greece to Egypt. The Levant is part of the Fertile Crescent and was home to some of the ancient Mediterranean trade centers, such as Ugarit, Tyre, and Sidon. It is the homeland of the Phoenician civilization.

Gambling sends you to hell, but I'd lay odds that Joshua of Nazareth looked more like this than any other flavor. He was a Jew after all.

The virgin-birth, death, resurrection story is everywhere. They are satanic counterfeits. Same thing will happen before Jesus returns. He says so. People will come before him, claiming to be him, performing things that seem like miracles etc. Try to find the virgin birth story person, who isn’t Jesus, who died specifically for our sins and not some other reason. |
