1 | Did anyone see Jesus in the Old Testamen | Judg 2:1 | mm42883 | 79511 | ||
Jesus is not mentioned by name in the OT, but one can use deductive reasoning to come to the conclusion that He did indeed appear. Simply put, Christ is God incarnate, therefore anytime that Scripture refers to God as an incarnate being, it is in fact Jesus. We know from the NT that Christ was around "since the beginning," and we perceive that the Trinity is in fact the complete picture of God, therefore in instances such as when God walked with Adam in the garden of Eden, we can say that it was Jesus doing the walking. So my answer is that yes Jesus is in the OT, and that many people saw Him. -mm42883 |

2 | 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 |
