if he looked like his dad Joseph would Mary have had to spin the old "it was divine conception" trick?

Since Jesus was the God I AM (John 8:58) then he was his own father. Now would that have made it incest for him to have sex with Mary?
After all she was his mother but then again she was just another human female.

The Bible never gives any physical description of Christ. The closest thing we get to a description is in Isaiah 53:2b, “He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him, nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him.” All this tells us is that Jesus’ appearance was just like any other man's – He was ordinary-looking. Most of the images we have of Jesus are probably very inaccurate. Jesus was a Jew, so He likely had very tan skin, dark eyes, and dark hair. This is a far cry from the blond-haired, blue-eyed, fair-skinned Jesus in most modern pictures.

Personally, I think Jesus looked a lot less like the statues and sunday-school pamplets portray him
And a lot more like Manny the Tailor.

Great question, how ever one would know in life. Since every picture of Jesus was painted and left to some form of self interpretation... I just hope in life I do what will grant me access to heaven to answer this question

Well, according to the Bible, Mary was a virgin .... so since she didn't have sex, maybe the egg wasn't even hers .... ? And since Joseph wasn't the biological father .. hmmmmm. it only stands to reason that he wouldn't look like either. That's if you believe the biblical version.

You seem to be very interested in Jesus and His life and mission. Perhaps you should visit with some missionaries of some faith and they could help you come to terms with your efforts to disbelieve what your heart tells you is true.

I think he looked a lot like John the Baptist.
That should put a scandalous twist on things...

There are no original pictures or paintings of Jesus.

No one really knows because the pictures of him were done years after his death. No artist that painted him ever saw him.
