What is your point?? Everyone knows Jesus wasn't considered a handsome man, or should.

What does it matter what HE looked like? His earthly parents were common folk, not kings. And when his earthly body died, the light of God glowed through HIM . And the love of God is always beautiful.

Why are you concerned about the very thing you make fun of?

The Lord doesn't want you to go to hell, He loves even you. If you decide to deny Christ that will be your choice, not God's. You need to re-think where your going both here and there.

But the Lord said: “ Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature. The Lord doesn’t see things the way man sees things. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

I see the Lord in the same way. You will not look at his physical features but will be virtually blinded by the brightness of his being. He is the way, the t***h and the light. He will judge all mankind and those who live in righteousness will be an extension of his being and will be rewarded with everlasting life.

When an ugly man dies to give you a chance for everlasting life, does it matter whether he was handsome or ugly. If you reject his gift because he does not meet your earthly criteria, you would be considered a fool!

Bob's point is he has no point other than to try and get a rise out of people. He's a troll - always has been. That's why no one missed him when he was gone.

At any rate, it doesn't matter what he looked like but I'd bet he was just another face in the crowd that didn't stand out.

It is amazing how much mileage liberals can get out of no facts. Now if we are Messiah bashing, we actually know what the liberal Messiah Barak Hussein Obama looked like. Some people found his Dumbo Ears attractive. Some people found his voice so hypnotic that they believed his lies about Obama Care.

To each his own.

Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

But he was wounded for our t***sgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Isaiah 53

Great reply, some people just need more prayer than others. In the end, God gives each of us the will to choose. Some of us have and will, always choose freedom, especially freedom to worship. Wh**ever happens, this is all in God's hands and I'm on His side. The Lord didn't die on the cross for us to go to hell, died on the cross so we could be with Him in heaven.
