They are works of imagination. For one, Jesus being the son of a Nazarene, would have looked like a Middle Eastern person, not the brown haired blue eyed person that is typically portrayed by Western artists.\n\nFurthermore, Isaiah 53:2 (Christians presume that this chapter prophesieses of Jesus - for e.g. 53:1 is quoted in John 12:38) states that "He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him" (this is from the New International Version). You could take this to mean that Jesus was not good looking either. Another interpretation could be that he did not look 'royal', but regardless, he was probably an average looking Joe.\n\nI'm not sure if I would want to fault the artists for their inaccurate portrayals of Jesus. Perhaps a misplaced attempt at depicting those aspects that we find admirable. In the end, the physical appearance is immaterial, it is what the man stands for that is important.

No, but if you get an answer let me know. LOL\n\nThe vision of Jesus glorified shows Him with 'hair like wool'. Daniel 7:9, Revelation 1:14 (They saw the same Jesus, divided by 1000 years!)\n\nSampson had dreds. Judges 16:13, Judges 16:19

I think my Yahoo Avatar looks eerily similar to me, especially the hair.  But then again I'm Asian and we all look the same anyway.  Must have been easy to convert that into illustrated form.

If you compare yourself to other people, what do they look like?  \nHave you looked at a composite of your sex, age and family heritage?  (if you are Hispanic, you might look different than someone from Sweden).\nGod said that He created you and knew you, even before you were born!  He likes the way you look!

I've wondered the same question.  I tried to make mine look like me.\nThere were no nerdy avatars that I saw and I see a lot walking in malls.  Come to think of it, I don't see fat ones, either.  So, someone, doesn't have an avatar that looks like them.  Maybe it is the people without an avatar.  Ha, ha.  All of mine I try to make look like me and wear stuff that I would wear.  Sometimes, I will look at my avatar and think that I should take a look in my mirror before I leave the house.

Ignorance!  Jesus was a Jew and born and raised in the middle east and Egypt.  He was probably very dark skined from traveling by foot so much.  He was a carpenter by trade and spent a lot of time out doors.  He must have had an awesome tan!

That's a hard question because the Bible specifically states that God and Jesus are two different people. But to answer the question I'd say it because in most all images of Jesus He is depicted as being lilly white when in reality He would have had darker skin, like the Jewish people do today.

I think long. There's some people short hair just doesn't look good on...he's one of them.(so am I, so I can relate) He does resemble a caveman a bit when he grows it too long though... OH I KNOW! Grow it long but cut the facial hair... Then he's look like a actor or something! Lol

Why do you believe that most Americans think Jesus was a white man?  \n\nIt seems to me that most Americans either a) know that he was a darker-skinned man, or b) don't really give much thought to what color he was.\n\nMy question to you is:  why get hung up on Jesus' skin color?  It seems that you, and not "most Americans," are focusing on the color of his earthly skin.  \n\nMy advice to you is to focus on WHO Jesus is.  Things like his skin color don't matter.

It says in the bible he was filled with pride because of all his beauty.  He must of been a handsome angel before he was cast out of heaven.  So im sure he doesnt look like that in hell. God Bless!!

Ya mean exactly what he looks like? Basically it just says stuff like we were created in his image... in fact, half the Bible's just a metaphor, so we dunno if we can trust it. Yeah, but we were created in his image and stuff. Soooo... he looks like a regular human being, except not so regular.

Well, your body is pretty animated looking.  lol. You probably need an actual pic of you to know what you look like, but your avatar is pretty.

Your avatar should look however you want it to look. They don't have enough distinctive facial features or hairstyles for everyone to make their avatars look like them.

I think, physically, he'd look like any other human.  After all, we were made in His image.  However, Jesus says in Matthew 25:35-40, "35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' \n 37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'  40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'"\n\nSo, I think he'll look like "the least of these."  Well, I really don't know if he would look like those...but I'm sure that's where you would find him.
