Is the Picture of Jesus Christ the true Picture of him?

Please can you give me any proofIs the Picture of Jesus Christ the true Picture of him?
i can truthfully tell you there is no image of jesus on wall or picture the ones you see are only what artist imagine he looked like. Furthermore to be totally honest if you really study the bible you should know that a so called pic of jesus would be an idol no more no less than the golden calf that the people of the exodus constructed at the foot of mount sainai when moses recieved the ten comandment.Is the Picture of Jesus Christ the true Picture of him?
jesus? no! yasheau i dont see the picture so cant judge it but yasheau (not sure of spelling) was a jewish boy created from sperm just like everyone else and the story of the immaculent conception was so that mary did not get killed for giving into temptation.! and my resources are my mind and someone very wise who i can not give out their name
there is no exact evidence to prove how Jesus looked. The pictures you see drawn or in church are the ideas/theories of what and how Jesus may have looked like. Many images portray him as a young, thin man with a beard and long hair, but the colour of Jesus' skin still is being questioned today by Christians. If you are a Christian yourself i don't think this question should be of somewhat concern to you, because Jesus did only come to Earth to preach the words of his Father not to be judged or questioned about his physical appearance.
The Bible depicted him as an African with African lineage, having African names, from tribes with African names in Africa, who were of Asrae(Israel - the visited one) There were the Gileadites(Ga tribe) Identified in Judges by their own language 'ASHIBOLETH'. Abraham, from the kwahu tribe and on and on we go!


What was the question again? I don't know!
There is no [true picture] of Jesus. Over the course of some 1900+ years, many cultures have interpreted how Jesus should look, so that he has appeared as a young man, an old man, a middle aged man, a dark-skinned / dark-eyed man, a light-skinned / blue-eyed man, a beardless man, a man with a beard, etc. No one today knows what Jesus really looked like. However, in that he was Jewish, we can safely assume he had olive to dark-skin and dark eyes. Further, as was custom during his time, he would have had a beard.
There is descriptions of him in the bible aparantly so it may be similar to what he was like.
I shouldn't think so. Think about it, do you really think he had fair hair and blue eyes?
Proof..


.If you have any knowlege of Him then you already have a picture.


Just. Merciful. Infallable. God Incarnate. Our brige to the Father.





The writers of the biblical accounts are indeed real historical figures. And places He taught and places his disciples visited really exist, as you can follow the acheological findings.





Then there is the argument with yourself: If he were not the Son of God would he TOTALLY dedicate his life to His Father and to his followers. Would he lay down his life. He did not have to leave his heavenly place, he chose to come. If he were not who his followers claim, would they lay down their lives, century after century. Even today in some parts of the world, many who speaks of Him will suffer, and some will be killed.





2000 years later we still read His Story. We still celebrate his birth, study his life, commemorate his death, rejoice at his ressurection. We take comfort in His mercy and guidance from His unwavering principles. A pretty compelling track record.





Now we come to leap of faith CS Lewis and other authors talks about. The intent was to disprove, but their research brought them to the Cross.





The teaching that Jesus died for the sins of the world must be brought down to the individual, to either reject or accept Jesus as Savior and Lord. The understanding that the blood of Jesus covers our unrigteousness. God sees us pure before him when we acknowlege that Jesus's blood was shed for our sins.





When they talk about the sinner's prayer it has three elements. Acknowlege your sin. Believe he can take the burdon of your sin. Confess his Lordship.





This is where people say '; but I will get lost'; They misunderstand lordship.





What will I give up for God sometimes becomes the question. But I think the real question is What will it take become a complete person, free of guilt of our sin, free to really live our lives with the help of the Holy Spirit, not just exist?





Jesus Christ, the son of God.
Oh yes! like What? Of course everyone had a digital camera then and were busy snapping piccies as he was getting nailed. The picture, like the story book is a figment of someone's imagination. So, She can look like anyone your want her to look like, if that's your scene, personally I look for the beauty and goodness around me and worship that and try to imagine living here without the rest of the crap (i.e. people)
No the real Jesus was much darker, He would probably look alot like someone from the middle east..cuz thats where he was from...although who wants to admit that right...
i dont think so, the bible says its a shame for a man to have long hair, so I seriously doubt that Jesus had long hair!
Well there were no Photos back then....


and concidering his description/area of origin, the odds are he would have more Arabic features.
No. It is made up.


Someone first painted him how they thought he looked like.
It is speculated that the classical image of Jesus has taken from the Shroud of Turin, which is the supposed burial shroud of Christ. There is an imprint on that Shroud and many experts have gone over it. They can tell you what DIDN'T make the shroud but can only speculate as to what did.





Anyway, the went over the face in the shroud and can identify 3 characteristics that began to appear more and more in art when depicting Jesus.





So, it depends. If the Shroud is real then yes, that is where his picture came from and one can speculate that he generally looked that way.
No, because there is no description of him. We not only don't know what the looked like, we don't even know for sure if he existed.
There aren't any contemporary pictures of JC, and that would have been against his culture.





Pictures of Jesus came to be painted long after his death, the painters didn't know what he looked like so they made it up, trying to paint him according to their idea of what he represented.





PS Palestinians don't have black skin, it is generally olive. Jews have lived all over the world since those times, and they tend to look like the people they live among. There is no description of Jesus in the Bible. Actually it doesn't tell us much about him, apart from his religious activities.
Probably not.





But what difference does it make what he looked like?





It's about what he DID.
yeah, it's the true picture of him....


what picture?


It's evolved from classical painters throughout the centuries..............





In fact Jesus looked like Adam Sandler with a mustache and beard. I know because he told me.
If you're talking avout the one of Him where he looks like a white dude with long hair, no.





The true Jesus most likely had olive skin and hair that wasn't as straight and flowing.





Think about where he was born. How many people in that region today look like they just got back from Woodstock?
I personally do not believe those pictures are real.





There were not camera's or video recorders back in those days. I also don't think they are real because the bible makes it very clear that we shouldn't worship things like idols or images, and we should wear things like charms and such. Infact one sunday my husband preached a sermon on how it was wrong for believers to have art work that had a so called ';picture'; of Jesus on it.





Even if there was a picture of Jesus, I don't believe anyone could stand to look at it because he's so Holy %26amp; Pure.





Blessings To You %26amp; Yours
no jesus christ looked like a palestinian man


he had got black skin
Jesus probably looked liked Anwar Sadat or Arafat.
Well since Jesus made everything it is entirely conceivable that he invented the Polaroid camera before he died.





Im gonna say yes!
No, there is no picture of Him. Does it matter what He looks like?





Paintings were done by artists hundreds of years after His crucifiction, they had no way of knowing what He looked like. Look at the painting of the cherubim, those cute little cherub angels? If you read Ezekiel, you'll see that cherubim are frightening creatures, not cute little cuddly kids with wings. Just artist interpretations, and yeah, way, way off.
No. The modern images of Jesus evolved from ancient images of Dionysos.
No
There are no pictures of Jesus Christ unless the man on the Turin shroud is him. During Jesus' lifetime, the Jewish religion forbade making images of living people.
No, But use your imagination to visualise him.
i heard that cause he was born in the middle east, he couldnt have had the really light skin that the europeans portray
No it is someones interpretation of how he might have looked cuz there were no cameras. We werent there dear. Two thousand years have passed.
.....he was of a sementic class of peoples and therefore he should have looked like an arab with darker skin and a rounder face.....the pictures U see today and in history are of the image of ZEUS that was depicted on ZEUSs statue......i kid u not its greek influence
