Do ANY of us know how he really looks? Perhaps when viewed, he appears to each of us as our image of "beautiful".
I am under the impression that The Messiah is kind and all loving, and patient with our faults.
I don't like these kinds of threads. They bring out bad feelings and are not helpful at all.
Wait and see. Some things are better left undiscussed. This kind of thread often turns into a political fight too. There will be scathing remarks by the people who do not believe in God, and soon we will have a religious tension on here that cannot be resolved and is simply not worth our time. People believe as they believe and they are entitled to do so and hopefully those beliefs
do not harm anyone.
That is a whole other issue.
Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating Christmas. Peace on Earth to all.
