Did you know that Jesus was not a good looking guy?

Jesus was/is sinless, which is TRUE beauty.

Yes, the Bible describes Jesus as very homely (which is actually the polite way of saying he was ....ummm....yeah....not good looking is the best way to put it).

The pictures you see of Jesus are the midevial interpretation of what they felt he would look like with heavy influence from Micheal Angelo.

We know by studying history that as an unmarried Jew, Jesus would have been clean shaven. Not bearded as pictures portray. We also know that as the son of a carpenter, he was apprentaced as a carpenter. A carpenter would have been a large muscular man, not a thin man like is also shown in the pictures.

To get an accurate image, imagine a middle easterner, give him a not so attractive face, keep him clean shaven and muscular. That is more of an accurate image of what our saviour would have looked like.

I also want to say that I don't think it's wrong to be shocked when you have grown up with an image of our Lord only to find out that is has been a false image. It's not wrong to say he was unattractive, it's just a fact that the bible tells us. It does not change our love and adoration for him. As a history buff, I hope my answer helped you get a more accurate image.

This is true, did you ever notice that when attacked and Jesus Hid Himself from the crowd one of the ways perhaps He did that is because He looked so much like everyother person that He just blended in, it was and is NOT what Jesus was on the out side but The Fact as it says in Heb.1:5-9, Heb.13:8, John 1 that Jesus was GOD in flesh and it was what was on the inside that made Him stand out not without, find out more free bible lessons www.amazingfacts.org God bless talk to me also wgr88@yahoo.com just put yahoo answers in the subject line.

Yes! Jesus was not good looking because of the sacrificial suffering he underwent for us all. Yet he is the most handsome and beautiful inwardly because He is the only way to the Kingdom of God

Is he really,just because the bible states this do you really believe that......What I would like to know is what you believe..

Does it matter anyway,I believe in truth, truth is the truth end of story..Jesus is was a lovely guy....still is I know, he is my ROCK....Please, some advice...learn from the past but dont get stuck in the past.......be NOW..in the PRESENT.....the present is our gift from God enjoy it.....nuff said.....

I think you need to find a new bible study class. What an awful thing to say about our Savior. True, looks don't matter as much as the heart, and Jesus had a huge one, but that's just wrong to say that about Him.

I have the understanding that Jesus was not overly good looking. He came to this world to do one thing to save mankind all else is in material.

Yeah, but he made up for it by being totally ripped! Every time I look at him hanging on that cross I think, "wow, Jesus must have done MAD situps!) And I also think "Owww!

Yes, I believe the text if I remember correctly states that he was such that none would desire him. I don't think that it means that he was ugly but rather very plain,nothing special that would attract the opposite sex.

who cares if he was or not. he was a modest, humble, and honest man. that is all that matters. and no one knows how he looks. the bible was written after jesus (pbuh) left this earth. and the bible has been changed and rewritten. no one will tell u this but if u do ur homework u will find the truth.

I don't think it really matters what Jesus looked like. I'm just happy he died for me. How many other people can you say actually died to save you?
