This question has been on my mind and needs answered......
If a Christian woman is raped or abused by a man who looks like Jesus, what will she do? Change Religions? Or will she stay in church and continue to worship Him? Or will she try to find another religion of a God that doesn't look like Jesus?

Nobody knows what Jesus looked like. Many of the first paintings weren't drawn until 1400 years after His ministry.

That's assuming she actually knows what Jesus looks like...nobody knows his true physical appearance. Many people have come up with their own personal identity for him, though. I, as a Christian, do not think of him in a physical sense...so that wouldn't be a problem for me. But, if we do assume that the girl has a generalized picture of what Jesus looks like, and a guy with those characteristics rape her, she should come to the understanding that man will fail her, and God won't. Therefore, she shouldn't compare the rapist to Jesus.

Imagine what the Holy Virgin Mary must have felt when she was "overcome" by God the Holy Ghost! She was barely a teenager and she was very eagerly submitting to the advances of the proxy agent Saint Gabriel that God the Holy Ghost sent to fix a deal with her. It was vey common in those days to blame some pregnancies on a divine being, too. That is why nobody ever questioned the "virgin" birth. Also, God came down from Heaven on several occassions and let a lot of women pregnant, some of them more than once. I think that history repeats itself...

The keywords in your question are "looks like". The Jesus Christ I know wouldn't rape!! So, If a person was raped by a Jesus Christ-look alike; Its bound to be Satan (the 'rapist').
The rape victim will be better off moving to Jesus Christ the more rather than drawing away from Him,....That was the original plan of the 'impostor' in the first instance. The rape was just for His perverted pleasure

Hopefully the guy would go to prison for 5000 years, regardless of what he looked like.
I think a woman who is really christian would have the insite to understand that Jesus Christ lived 2000 years ago and therefore could not have really raped her. What does looking like Jesus have to do with anyway?

we really dont know what Yeshua looks like to be honest. why change religions? doing what they believe is right as far as worshipping comes first. God can take the hurts away. and any Christian knows that Yeshua doesnt hurt people, so why blame him for a bad experience?

very interesting....WE don't know what Jesus looks like...Just what man has perceived him to be. and besides that we worship God because he is our heavenly Father.
No man has ever seen God's face and no cameras were around at the time of Jesus.* report the rape and keep your eyes towards the cross and heaven*

Our concept of what Jesus looks like has been manufactured, nobody really knows what he looked like...so no matter what the guy looks like, he's a bad person and should be punished. If it makes her question her religion, then she's not that strong in her faith to begin with.

That would depend entirely on her attitude toward the situation and her religion. No one could say how she would react to that. You failed to considered that upon recollection she may have decided that she was blessed and kept the child and her faith in her religion. We really can not be sure how anyone will react to any situation unless we know that person well.
