Don't mean to derail, but I always wondered why he never took the time to write any of his thought down on paper or whatever they were using then.

Song of Songs:

Quote:

5:10 My beloved is white and ruddy.
The best among ten thousand.
5:11 His head is like the purest gold.
His hair is bushy, black as a raven.
5:12 His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks,
washed with milk, mounted like jewels.
5:13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes.
His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
5:14 His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl.
His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
5:15 His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
5:16 His mouth is sweetness;
yes, he is altogether lovely.

You couldn't pick him out of a line-up from this, but I had forgotten how terrific the poetry is.

I always pictured Jesus as having a beard and long hair. Why do people pertray him like this on the cross and other items when the bible doesnt mention his appearence at all? :huh:

Because it would be hard to sell a short, dark, hunchback God to a white Europe?

He was certainly no freak of nature and was very able in every which way we look at it.

You're missing the point.

Many have come and gone since that have done greater things and they testify on his behalf. None of them were hunchbacks except in the myth.

Well, if he existed, the he'd look like an olive skinned, black haired, Eastern Mediterranian type !

Yeah - and if he comes back he'll end up in Gitmo through profiling.

But are we sure that the typical mediterranian type had olive skin and black hair back then?
Italians and greecks couldnt be as dark as they are today, considering the influx of darker groups (slaves and immigrants) that came into their countries .. Or..?
