Is the Picture of Jesus Christ the true Picture of him?

Question

Please can you give me any proof

Answer 1

i can truthfully tell you there is no image of jesus on wall or picture the ones you see are only what artist imagine he looked like. Furthermore to be totally honest if you really study the bible you should know that a so called pic of jesus would be an idol no more no less than the golden calf that the people of the exodus constructed at the foot of mount sainai when moses recieved the ten comandment.

Answer 2

There is no [true picture] of Jesus. Over the course of some 1900+ years, many cultures have interpreted how Jesus should look, so that he has appeared as a young man, an old man, a middle aged man, a dark-skinned / dark-eyed man, a light-skinned / blue-eyed man, a beardless man, a man with a beard, etc. No one today knows what Jesus really looked like. However, in that he was Jewish, we can safely assume he had olive to dark-skin and dark eyes. Further, as was custom during his time, he would have had a beard.

Answer 3

there is no exact evidence to prove how Jesus looked. The pictures you see drawn or in church are the ideas/theories of what and how Jesus may have looked like. Many images portray him as a young, thin man with a beard and long hair, but the colour of Jesus' skin still is being questioned today by Christians. If you are a Christian yourself i don't think this question should be of somewhat concern to you, because Jesus did only come to Earth to preach the words of his Father not to be judged or questioned about his physical appearance.

Answer 4

It is speculated that the classical image of Jesus has taken from the Shroud of Turin, which is the supposed burial shroud of Christ. There is an imprint on that Shroud and many experts have gone over it. They can tell you what DIDN'T make the shroud but can only speculate as to what did.

Anyway, the went over the face in the shroud and can identify 3 characteristics that began to appear more and more in art when depicting Jesus.

So, it depends. If the Shroud is real then yes, that is where his picture came from and one can speculate that he generally looked that way.

Answer 5

Jesus was born in a place called Mird on the 1st March 7 B.C.
Being of the house of David he was the rightful King of Jerusalem, not a poor carpenter, but the Romans would not recognise his claim.
The terms 'Messiah' and 'The Christ' were Hebrew titles only the king held.

Nazereth did not exist when Jesus was born. Mird was just outside a place called Qumran which was a place of learning and had its own library.The library also kept records of births, deaths and marriages. Jesus was still alive in 70 A.D. aged 76

A large part of the 'Dead Sea Scrolls' discovered in 1947, were records from the Qumran Library.

Jesus was married twice, once to Mary Magdalene and had 3 children, later to lady called Lydia and had one child.

The name 'Mary' was not a name in those days but a royal title translated from Hebrew, so what was his mother called???

The life of Jesus is nothing like religion would have us beleive.
If you doubt any of this information feel free to research it yourself. Just remember the truth will always be the truth wether we like it or not.

Answer 6

I personally do not believe those pictures are real.

There were not camera's or video recorders back in those days. I also don't think they are real because the bible makes it very clear that we shouldn't worship things like idols or images, and we should wear things like charms and such. Infact one sunday my husband preached a sermon on how it was wrong for believers to have art work that had a so called "picture" of Jesus on it.

Even if there was a picture of Jesus, I don't believe anyone could stand to look at it because he's so Holy & Pure.

Blessings To You & Yours

Answer 7

No. The traditional image of Jesus is of a European figure. This is unliekly. Jesus was a Nazerene, a Hebrew of the Middle East. He was likely rather tall, but dark-skinned. At the time, he would not have had long hair. If he was a practiced carpenter, hew ould have been in good physical shape, but probably on the rugged side from all his travelling.

"He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him, nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered Him stricken by God, smitten by Him, and afflicted." (Isaiah 53:2-5)

The mob that came to arrest him could not tell Him apart from Peter or John or any of the others - Judas Iscariot had to actually point him out (Matthew 26:47-49)

Answer 8

Proof..
.If you have any knowlege of Him then you already have a picture.
Just. Merciful. Infallable. God Incarnate. Our brige to the Father.

The writers of the biblical accounts are indeed real historical figures. And places He taught and places his disciples visited really exist, as you can follow the acheological findings.

Then there is the argument with yourself: If he were not the Son of God would he TOTALLY dedicate his life to His Father and to his followers. Would he lay down his life. He did not have to leave his heavenly place, he chose to come. If he were not who his followers claim, would they lay down their lives, century after century. Even today in some parts of the world, many who speaks of Him will suffer, and some will be killed.

2000 years later we still read His Story. We still celebrate his birth, study his life, commemorate his death, rejoice at his ressurection. We take comfort in His mercy and guidance from His unwavering principles. A pretty compelling track record.

Now we come to leap of faith CS Lewis and other authors talks about. The intent was to disprove, but their research brought them to the Cross.

The teaching that Jesus died for the sins of the world must be brought down to the individual, to either reject or accept Jesus as Savior and Lord. The understanding that the blood of Jesus covers our unrigteousness. God sees us pure before him when we acknowlege that Jesus's blood was shed for our sins.

When they talk about the sinner's prayer it has three elements. Acknowlege your sin. Believe he can take the burdon of your sin. Confess his Lordship.

This is where people say " but I will get lost" They misunderstand lordship.

What will I give up for God sometimes becomes the question. But I think the real question is What will it take become a complete person, free of guilt of our sin, free to really live our lives with the help of the Holy Spirit, not just exist?

Jesus Christ, the son of God.

Answer 9

There aren't any contemporary pictures of JC, and that would have been against his culture.

Pictures of Jesus came to be painted long after his death, the painters didn't know what he looked like so they made it up, trying to paint him according to their idea of what he represented.

PS Palestinians don't have black skin, it is generally olive. Jews have lived all over the world since those times, and they tend to look like the people they live among. There is no description of Jesus in the Bible. Actually it doesn't tell us much about him, apart from his religious activities.

Answer 10

There are no pictures of Jesus Christ unless the man on the Turin shroud is him. During Jesus' lifetime, the Jewish religion forbade making images of living people.
