Do you think Jesus had dark hair?

Atwhatcost- Try using more emotes Its a good way to add mood to a wall of emotionless text

My guess is that He was a manly man. From children's pictures we always get this soft features. I think He was a big guy with piercing eyes

Yeah, He was a man's man.

 

[Yeraza_Bats]

Though he most likely had manly features, I do believe His personality definitely had a very gentle and kind characteristic to it.

And haha I take back what I said about Christ having short hair as unsettling, the idea of Stone Cold being our Messiah is far more unsetttling

 

[atwhatcost]

I gotta be honest. I know this is totally meaningless and everything. But like...... seeing Him drawn with short hair.....its kinda unsettling

I mean, I have always seen Him with long hair, and it has always guided the way I see Him, 100% not earthly at all ever, that He didnt even keep His hair in anyway, and did not keep it cut and styled. So seeing Him with short hair, it kinda feels wrong to me

I was raised Catholic, so I don't have a shot at imagining him without previous crucifixes bombarding my mind. But they did cut their hair back then, or Samson and John the Baptist would have looked ordinary. No idea how short they cut it though, or what long was compared to today.

But being a good Presbyterian, (who grew up with good old-fashioned Irish Catholic guilt), I also feel guilty for trying to picture him at all, given we're not supposed to have images of God. (Bad to have Presbyterian mixed with Catholic, since everything is guilt then. lol)

Jesus was a carpenter by trade. It is unlikely that His hands and arms were delicate. More likely that His hands were rough and calloused and His arms muscular. Not only is Jesus divine in nature but He also was very human and understood full well the human condition. It is likely that He had a few good laughs now and then. Even now He can take on the physical human form as well as being in spirit.

He always intended for me to come along, so he had to laugh often. (Oh no! There she goes again.

) lol

I was raised a Catholic too. I was taught fear and guilt at an early age. I am operating under a new paradigm now and have for some time.

I've been told that just makes me look passive-aggressive.

You're welcome.

I actually feel guilty if hubby stubs his toe, even if there was nothing I could do about it or nothing I did to cause it. I can't change the emotions, but at least I now recognize the difference between real guilt (sin), and just-emotions guilt. One I worry about. The other? Oh well.

I wonder what was required of a carpenter back then. They didn't have power tools. Did they make their boards and beams from trees they had to cut down themselves?

I don't know if there was a such thing as lumber yards or saw mills back then.

My guess is that being a carpenter back then required massive amounts of strength and endurance.

A lot of people display Him as looking like they do, out of a sense of "He's my Jesus". But it is not that He has to look like us to be our Jesus, it's that we must look like Him (spiritually speaking). The physical doesn't even matter, it's only temporary. But the truth is He was of Jewish decent. And how do Jewish people look? Look at Jerry Seinfeld, or The lady who plays the Nanny, look at how people who still live in that area look like. They have dark hair, and light to dark skin. Jesus was unbecoming so that no one would desire Him. He grew in strength and stature. He was tall enough that Zachius was shorter, but not so tall that His head was above the crowd, Zachius had to climb a tree to see Him. It doesn't matter what He looked like physically.

I don't know what color His hair was originally, but if He follows the Bible Discussion Threads I'd bet it's now gray!

......

Diogo Morgado is the last idea o Jesus face I´d recall...

 

[Jesus4ever]

Of course, this is all irrelevant, but still, here´s my idea of Jesus Christ:

- Tall (about 6´1") and thin
- Long dark beard
- Long dark hair (touching the shoulders)
- Brown/dark brow eyes.


God bless you!

“The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.”
Asshur was a son of Shem, the father of the white racial strain

—those of fair skin and lighter hair.

Notice that Arphaxad is listed in this verse as the third son of Shem.

Now read Genesis 11:10: “These are the generations of Shem:
Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood.”

Neither of Shem’s first two sons, Elam or Asshur, are mentioned!
That’s because they were rejected as the heirs of Shem’s inheritance.

If they were working alongside Nimrod, you can see why Shem (and God)
rejected them! Asshur parted with his father and became the progenitor of the Assyrian people.

Over 300 years later, Abraham, through whom God was to raise up His chosen
nation Israel, was begotten of the line of Arphaxad, the third son of Shem.

that Asshur, father of the Assyrians,
and Arphaxad, whose line Abraham descended from,

both came from Shem. This means that while there may be some
distinguishable physical differences between the Assyrians and Israelites,

both peoples came from the fair-skinned, white racial strain of Shem.

 

[dcontroversal]

Well..he was a Jewish man (Hebrew) and Isaiah 53 tells us clearly that he was not some good looking flowing haired Catholicized image that we see in paintings and or statues!

I agree he had dark hair....
