1 | More on Jesus' physical description... | Rev 1:12 | RCSCROLL | 79032 | ||
ALL WE HAVE SCRIPTURALLY IS THAT HE WAS A FROM NAZARETH, WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT HE TOOK AN OATH OF A NAZARENE, AND WOULD HAVE HAD LONG HAIR AND BEARD, UN SHAVEN. ISA SAYS THAT HE WOULD NOT BE A GOOD LOOKING MAN THAT ANYONE SHOULD DESIRE HIM.ISA 53:2. WE WOULD HAVE TO SAY BY DEDUCTION THAT HE WOULD IN FACT HAVE BROWN EYES MORE THAN LIKELY BECAUSE OF BEING BORN BY DEVOUT HEBREW JEWS , JOSEPH AND MARY. THERE IS NO SCRIPTURE REFERENCE AT ALL TALKING ABOUT HIM HAVING BLUE EYES.ITS PROBEBLY SOMETHING YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD. LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS RCSCROLL. | ||||||
2 | Blue-eyed Portrayal | Rev 1:12 | camomma | 79500 | ||
Than another question...why do people always portray Him as having blue eyes? I realize that He would traditionally, and most likely genetically, have had brown eyes, so then why would people always portray Him as blue-eyed? Nothing in Isaiah?? Jeremiah?? Some of the people that portray Him as such use the Scripture in their portrayal as back-up...so I'm just wondering where that would be. |

3 | Blue-eyed Portrayal | Rev 1:12 | mm42883 | 79509 | ||
I believe that the reason that Jesus is portrayed as such is simply because we like it. The original painting of Christ as a smiling, warm-faced, blue eyed man was an actual interpretation of what a man thought that Jesus would look like, but had little to do with fact. In fact, there is only one verse that comes to mind that has anything to do with JEsus' appearance, and that is that there was nothing overly appealing about it. Unfortunately I forget the reference, but I may research it and get back to you later. Also, we can picture Christ as being a strong man. If He was indeed a carpenter, then there would certainly be strength as a requirement! Afterall, they did deal mostly with stone in their building in that region at that time. -mm42883 |
