Is This What Jesus Really Looked Like? by joshadedapo(m): 4:52pm On May 12, 2017 |
What did Jesus look like? In reality, no one in the modern era knows the answer to that question, though there are plenty of works of art that attempt to imagine Christ’s facial and bodily structure. It’s a topic that continues to spark intrigue, which is why every year, without fail, a rendering first published in 2002 that showed what someone who lived during Jesus’ time might have looked like ends up making headlines. It’s that rendering that some experts believe offers up one of the best lenses into what Christ’s face might have looked like. READ: ‘The Bible is Always Ahead of the Curve’: Ominous Iran-North Korea Report Emerges Just Days After Pastor’s Warning The most recent article about this intriguing image was published on Saturday by the Daily Express, which explained that the computer-generated face — which looks nothing like traditional renderings of Christ — was created by facial artist Richard Neave. It’s an intricate graphic that was created by British scientists and Israeli archeologists who employed forensic anthropology. The image features a man with short brown hair, dark eyes and a dark complexion; the signature long hair that is observed in most pieces of art depicting Christ is missing, with the rendering showing a short cut, according to Popular Mechanics. Neave triangulated information in an effort to come up with the image, relying on examples of what Jewish men from the first century looked like as the basis for the final product. To accomplish this goal, he and his team were able to observe skulls that were found near Jerusalem, using them as the baseline for the overall facial and head structure. And this is the image they came up with: Source: www.faithwire.com

It doesn't matter if Jesus were white or brown, what matters is understanding the teaching linked to him/ her.....for you to be mentally enhanced and stop being a foot-stool to ignorance. 3 Likes |

Jesus did not die for us to be "mentally enhanced", he died to give us salvation. ifenes: |

That picture is probably closer to how Jesus looked than the pictures showing Him to have long hair and a european face. I don't believe Jesus had long hair, and He probably looked similar to other Jews of 2000 years ago. 1Co 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? If Jesus had long hair Paul would not have said: "if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him" Isa 53:2 For 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, there is no beauty that we should desire him. Jesus was not handsome, just an ordinary looking man. Handsome to us though. |

ifenes: Dude, you are wasting your time. These people's brains don't possess the capacity to think rationally and critically. Jesus is in the same category of enlightened people like Confucious and Buddha. But his history has been inaccurately rewritten for political and selfish reasons. Anyone with even minute historical knowledge and a functioning brain would realize this. Most times I try to stay away from this section because the kind of responses I see here just makes me weep for the intellectual failure of my own people. 1 Like |
