So there was no REAL Jesus. So then what forces are responsible for giving  the current image of the kind man?

No real Jesus, I just seen him running with his boy's, Juan and Jose.

consider:  virtually NO information appears in historical textx that can verify the existence of Jesus.  \n\nConsider: Most of the items in the Bible that can be examined for their historical accuracy, including the importance of Jerusalem in the ancient world, have been found, through archaeology, to be false, or gross exagerations.

It would be certainly Jesus!!! I'd want his help in exposing the great 'deceptions in the church' the so called curers and miracle workers on TV channels - whose aim is always money money money - donations donations donations - whose method of 'curing' people is 'blowing them away with a wave of a hand' and 'leave them trembling on the ground'.  \n\nThe world cerainly needs Jesus to expose the corrupt socalled 'religious' experts - so that a simple poor honest soul searching for pure worship gets a chance for truth from the Son of God himself.

The battle was over before it began.  Jesus Christ was slain before the foundation of the world.  God's purposes have all been accomplished. But time as we perceive it is playing it out.   \n\nGod is in all of time all at once.  There is no battle, it's already over.

Really now? Says who? Did Jesus Christ impart this knowledge, himself? Sounds a little kooky. \n\nWho is this God character? Why is he invisible? I suppose I am the image of the invisible Michael. I am also Michael. \n\nAre you sure Jesus wasn't some crazy cultist? \n\nSomebody once told me to find Jesus, but I always thought he was long dead. Where's he buried? Somebody also once told me he floated up to an invisible land of enchantment. I have no idea how I'm supposed to find some dead, mentally ill guy, whose body has somehow magically disappeared, and then how do I prove if it's him or not? There were no dental records millenia ago, let alone DNA files. \n\nHm, I think Jesus is lost forever, unless he's that guy on the on ramp holding that sign, looking like a serial killer. At least that guy LOOKS a lot like Jesus. Anyhow, nope, I did not know that Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, and is also God. \n\nHey, I got an idea. Why don't you tell me all about it? This sounds like a pretty wild story!

There is only one Christ Jesus.  \n\nWhen He comes again, and if you are still alive, you will recognise it.  You will know and you don't even need to doubt.  Because it is going to be so awesome.\n\nHis awesome return is the difference between the real and the fake.  A phenomenon men never experienced.\n@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Ah...a tricky question to answer.  \n\nGod brought me into existence--once again--to learn more in this lifetime.  He's done this several times, I believe.  \n\nHe sent Jesus in the role of Avatar in order to help all of us move further along our path of spiritual enlightenment.  That's what an avatar does.  {No, it's not just your Yahoo picture...}\n\nThe first was going to happen, anyway.  The second was the greater gift, IMHO.

Jesus is "God in the flesh".\n\nJesus is real, not fiction. Read the first century Jewish historian Josephus Flavius.\n\nYou can also read "Evidence That Demands A Verdict" " More Evidence That Demands A Verdict" or "More Than A Carpenter" by Josh McDowell,  plus "A Case For Christ" by Lee Strobel and "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis\n\nWho is Jesus? Really.\n\nThere are 2 ways to live.

Simple Answer:\n\nActually a study was done on this and as it turns out the first portrait of Jesus was considered to have come from the shroud of Turin (The famout burial shroud of Christ supposedly bearing His image). Immediately all portraits and paintings mimicked the likeness on the shroud. Later on European Catholics dominated in power and portraits began resembling them because they believed that they were the "true" Christians so surely Jesus looked more like them than anyone else.\n\nJesus most likely looked like an Israeli Jew, but because most Christians are not Jewish Jesus' image began to descend farther and farther away from the Jewish likeness and more towards the predominant denomination, European Christians.\n\nHope thish helps.

Jesus does not exist, and never did. I have other fantasies and I prefer those. Cheerio!

I do beleive in a creator/God, but the Jesus part is questionable, don't matter if you're a Christian, Jew, or Muslim!!! People have to open their mind I realize certain things are out of place about his story. I believe it was put there to worship man instead of god, to have more control over people, to divide and conquer and the list goes on, it so many. Because the truth is NO ONE knows how God really looks or etc!!!

oh definately, you are so right! I feel I can add to this...I also believe that, if Jesus had nothing to say on the subject, and if his disciples too, had nothing to say on the subject...if nothing can be found in the collected mythology of the nomadic tribes that form Jesus's ancestry, and noone can be found to say anything that sounds like Jesus or his disciples or his nomadic ancestors could have said it, and if we cannot imagine ourselves what he might have done.........we should look to the Easter bunny for inspiration.

Seems right. However, no one really knows the truth as to Jesus' real appearance. Isaiah gives a brief description but nothing was ever recorded when He walked the earth in human flesh.

Calm down take a deep breath there. And Jesus did actually exist He is spoken of in Greek manuscripts of the day not only the bible. He is confirmed as existing, what You wish him to be is your choice free will and all, but he existed. Hope that helps ~A~

Nobody. I mean no body.  If Christ had not risen then there would be a body entombed somewhere on the face of this earth.

i have never heard of that but is it anymore odd than thinking jesus, a man who never even visited europe, was somehow european looking?  Odds are jesus looked more like Sadam Hussein or bin laden than he did the frail hippie looking figure most accept without question
