How does Jesus Look Like ?

Question

many places you see pictures/images of Jesus. Does he really look like that or is it just a painter's fugure? I believe He does look like that cause people has seen Jesus in dreams and vision unlike the Muslims they dont even know how Muhammad looks like till this day. Does Muhammad really exsist i always wonder....

Answer 1

well... it's a sacred matter to draw Him exactly as He is. People who have actually seen Him would not go ahead and draw him exactly, but know the difference when looking at others' ( who have not seen Him) drawings and say: " Not exactly". I know some people. His eyes are as a flame of fire; the hair of his head is white like the pure snow; his countenance shines above the brightness of the sun; and his voice• is as the sound of the rushing of great waters. He's resurrected perfect glorified being.

Prophets from the beginning of time have seen and conversed with Him as they received revelations and were shown many of His mysteries. Read the scriptures. Moses, Abraham everyone saw Him. The latest prophet who declared to the world that he's seen God was prophet Joseph Smith. Today's prophet and apostles must have met Him to lead the church in latter days. We'll see Him at the last day and recognize Him instantly

Muhamed was just a man and he is dead. Why know exactly what he looked like?.... I'm sure they didn't a photo camera in those days.

Answer 2

He really does look like "that"? What, exactly, is "that"? There are many different versions of how Jesus looked. Really, He does tend to look something like the people who had the picture made.

People see Jesus is dreams and visions, but He appears as what they'd expect Him to look like mostly.. which makes sense. Is His appearance that significant or relevant in any possible way? No, what's relevant is that people recognize Him, ain't it?

So "they" have absolutely not a clue how Jesus looks like 'til this day, and draw many many variations most of which couldn't logically be right anyway.

And by the way, Muhammad was a prophet, not exactly remotely the same kind of figure as Jesus.

Answer 3

No human really knows. However, most historians agree that he probably did not look like the figure portrayed in famous paintings done by European artists. My guess is that he looked far stockier, far shorter, and had a broader face, much like the Middle Eastern Jews of his era. I also believe he had very dark hair that was probably curly or wavey. His skin was probably very dark and not European white-toned as he is often portrayed in paintings. He probably too had a heavy beard growth (with a trimmed beard though), short hair (as was the custom of his day for men) and he was probably a pretty hairy fellow, much like Jews and other men of of Middle Eastern descent are to this day. My guess is that Muhammad also looked very Middle Eastern, but I don't think he was as stocky.

Answer 4

Jesus was a Jew. He was probably short, as most Jewish men were at that time, had very dark hair, dark features, was probably pretty muscular rather than tall and thin as he is usually depicted, and probably had curls.

People relate to what they know. In this country, Jesus is depicted as white anglo, because that is what most of us relate to in this country. Black people vision Jesus as a black man and there is art which I am sure that you have seen that depicts Jesus as a black man. It doesn't matter what he looked like though, he could have come in any form.

Answer 5

The pictures that people have painted is not Jesus. No one knows what He looks like. But He made us in His own image (Genesis 1:26), so I imagine He looks like us, every race.

Answer 6

No, Jesus doesn't look like the blonde haired, blue eyed, Caucasian that we see portrayed in so many places! That's impossible!! If we're all made in His image and likeness, that would cause Him to possess features inclusive of ALL mankind. Plus Jesus was a Nazarene. The Bible describes Him being olive complected with hair like lambs wool. Show me one blonde haired, blue eyed Nazarene? I believe many will be disappointed when they meet Him face to face.

Answer 7

I feel very sad for people like you when you say Muslims dont know how our Prophet Muhammed PBUH looked like. Ours is the most preserved literature(Qur'an & Hadith) unlike any other.

We know our Prophet's Appearance (Eyes, Eye brows, forehead, nose, hair, teeth, height etc..) & Sunnah(Actions) from big to as little as how he use to eat, drink, bath, walk, which foot first for house & Mosque. Even the names of his goats, horses & camels. And on which occasion he used which camel. These are just a FEW things i've mentioned for your info, cause one can clearly see from ur statement that you know NOTHING about Islam & the last Prophet. Sad!!!

And our Prophet also told us about how Prophet Jesus PBUH looked liked.

Answer 8

If you want to know for sure what Jesus looks like, look for the holy shroud at Turin, Italy. His image is imprinted there because it was said to be the shroud on his face during his passion. Some scientist already authenticated it because it contained a pollen that only existed during that time.

Answer 9

The Book of Revelation tells us that Jesus Has white hair, eyes like the flame of fire, Feet like bronze and he is dressed in a white robe down to his feet with a gold band girded around his chest. Awsome!

Answer 10

Mohamed has existed once, but there are NO proof that Jesus really existed once as the Holy Bible describes it, not at all really. SIC! It might be a fiction, made by Paulus who used older tales and put it all together. I would like to believe that it is true, but ....
