The images of Jesus that Christians have in their churches, homes, Bibles, Sunday School or Sabbath School books are those which have the outward features of the chief pagan gods of the heathen world. This is the image of Greek God Zeus
Which ls the same image of Jesus Christ we see in the churches and homes today.
Proof:
1.Note the long hair!Such long feminine type of hair on a man is how evil spirits are portrayed in the Book of Revelation Re
Revelation 9:7-8 And the shapes of the locusts [were] like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold, and their faces [were] as the faces of men.
And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as [the teeth] of lions.
Paul says in 1 Cor
1C 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
1C 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
Jesus Christ is our spiritual high priest according to Heb 9:11, see what God says to all high priests in israel
Ezk 44:20 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
All Jews used to follow what the High priest do in Israel.No Jews ever had long hair, like we see in these pictures.
2. Jesus Christ was not handsome and healthy like this.See Prophet Isaiah telling about the coming Messiah
Isa 53:1-5Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
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.
He 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.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
If you take Rotherhams translation, its more clear
Isa 53:1-5Who, believed what we have heard? And, the arm of Yahweh, to whom was it revealed? When he came up as a sapling before him, And as a root-sprout out of dry ground, He had neither beauty nor majesty,—When we beheld him, there was nothing to behold, that we should desire him;
Despised was he, and forsaken of men, Man of pains, and familiar with sickness,—Yea, like one from whom the face is hidden, Despised, and we esteemed him not.
¶ Yet surely, our sicknesses, he, carried, And, as for our pains, he bare the burden of them,—But, we, accounted him stricken, Smitten of God, and humbled.
Yet, he, was pierced for transgressions that were ours, was crushed for iniquities that were ours,—The chastisement for our well-being, was upon him, And, by his stripes, there is healing for us.
3.Idolatory is prohibited in Christianity, be it made of stones or drawings
Strong's dictionary of New Testament:
G1497 eidolon i'-do-lon
an image (i.e. for worship);
"An image", we are not supposed to keep an image of God.Jesus says:
Jn 4:23-24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
Jesus Christ says this after he says that time will come when people will no longer go to mountains or Jerusalem to worship. That is how people used to worship according to Old Testament. After Jesus' resurrection, we are to pray ourself inside, no need to go to any place to worship God.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, i would like to know your opinion on this. If anyone have any other points to add, please!!!
With the time of Constantine a new type of JESUS began to be portrayed among the Christian population of the Roman Empire. They took the style of grooming typical of the pagan gods and adopted it as their
