Looks like an old guy

I think...



...he was an average-looking guy...therefore his appearance is not mentioned in the Bible...and not because he was ugly.

I don't know if that makes sense to any of you, but that's what I think. Silly and stupid, that's how I feel

Are you sure Jesus' looks aren't in the Bible at all? Not in in passing reference? Isn't he described as not having striking features, thus people would follow him for his words and not his appearance? I distinctly remember hearing this in Baptist Church... Isn't it widely "accepted" that Jesus wasn't "hot"? And thus all the images that depict him as such are ridiculous?

No, Jesus is painted with blue eyes or as a Roman sometimes (without beard).

he was 'normal'



u can't find an article saying:Jesus was like that,with long hair,blue eyes..and so on.PPl never said about his face...thus,i think that,maybe they all saw him as they want(as they liked)

IMO → Jesus, is that what you looked like?

I've been wondering about this...



Jesus was, after all, Jewish, so it's kind of funny that he is never portrayed as such in pictures, movies, drawings, etc.

I think he was just about average.

Jesus was also a carpenter...still he is always portrait as a very slim and weak kinda guy with long hair and blue eyes...

I once saw a carpenter and he didn't look anything like that...

...he had a dirty beard and 9 fingers...he was also bold...or bald?
he didn't have hair. Also he drank alot


He was a very strong man. he wasn't weak...

Here is your answer:

He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
Isaiah 53:2 (New International Version)

He was either normal looking, or somewhat unattractive. There was nothing beautiful or majestic in the physical appearance of this servant. Israel would miscalculate the servant's importance–they would consider him an ordinary man. But even though Jesus would not attract a large following based on his physical appearance, he would bring salvation and healing. Many people today also miscalculate the importance of Jesus' life and work.

What a joke. This verse was written before Jesus was ever born! How can you describe someone's appearance before he is even born? I learned something new, I guess

Clairvoyance, of course. Holy spirit talks, etc...

You claim you are a Christian, yet you doubt some important basics of god's holy word.

Are you f u c king kidding?
My uncle is a carpenter & he's so skinny that everybody calls him "spaghetti", plus he's blonde hair & green eyes, thus a really hottie.
Do you really think b/c you saw one carpenter, that's how they all look like?
