came across the above link looking for this one =====> http://www.free-computer-wallpapers.com/Movie/Passion-of-the-Christ.2.htm but see Baker look at the resemblence... hehe
Who knows I agree about the idolatry so pictures would become that if we had one, however what I think and what I feel are always two diff things (I never trust my thinking as much as my feelings) hehe
I feel he looks more like that guy in that move the passion of the christ as soon as I laid my eyes on him.

And I feel he looked like a leprechaun. What you feel he looke like has little to do with reality.
In the forensics biz, they can come quite close, given a skull. They can rather accurately guess where the muscles were and how the shaped the face. They can, however say little of, for instance, someone's nose. That part is up to the artist.
In this case, they have _nothing_ to work with, meaning the closest they could ever get is modelling the face of a random person in that area in that time.

of course I'm clueless like everyone else but as for "myself" I've seen pictures, sketches, movies bla bla bla of Jesus and I've never thought or felt they prob looked like him, until I seen that movie the passion of the Christ, the second I laid my eyes on the guy that played him, I thought to myself now this is prob what Jesus looks like! someone finally got it right (according to the mental world of Doreen)

The article says that they partally based this imaginary portrait on a 1st century Israelite skull they found. I saw a show on tv once that showed how impressive computers have gotten to figure out face features just from a skull.
About hair lengh: romans wore they hair short so I don't think that "shoulder lengh" would have been considered "short" by anybody in Palestine.
In short, any attempt to imagine what the Christ would have looked like is pure speculation, except this is probably the most educated guess so far. Far better than the long light colored hair, blue eyed and delicate features image we're used to.

it's all a ploy to sell more crosses. see, if this face becomes adopted, they must go back and fix all the heathan symbols already existing. it's marketing. if the US government wanted to make a few extra bucks, they could split a state in two and start printing 51-star flags.
i never got the whole cross/mary thing. in christianity you're not supposed to pray to idols...

Oh, good Lord !
OK, Catholics over there. Methodists, you stand over here. OK, now the Baptists, you stand over there.
Anybody for a game of kickball ?
I'm outta here ! This has gotten way too funny !
P.S. In Christianity, you're also not supposed to try and pick the mote out of your brother's eye until you've truly removed the beam from your own eye.

There is more forensic evidence of what Bigfoot looks like, than Jesus Christ (No description, no bones, no nothing).
Nobody knows what he looks like, nobody can say what he looks like.

paxx: The reconstruction you are talking about is based on what we know of current racial features. Easy to guess the nuances of a particular race when you can just look. Also, you generally have the skull of the person you want to reconstruct. The assumption that Jesus resembles this guy is akin to saying all black people look alike.
Jews had their own customs, their own practices. I doubt Roman fashion had much to do with Jesus' appearance. Some Jews didn't cut their hair at all, and we have nothing that says Jesus's hair was short, we just think it wasn't "long". When you consider that Nazarite Jews wore their hair waist length and longer, I doubt shoulder length is short.
Odd conversation for you, isn't it?

Regardless, there are artist''''s renderings of Jesus that go back a lot further than the Renaissance. The Mandylion of Edessa is considered to be the oldest: http://vatican.hmns.org/edessa.html At 300-500 AD, it is at least in the same millennium.
Anyway, there shouldn''''t be accurate images, imho. Idolatry has always been a no-no. No doubt if someone had a Poloroid of Jesus, somebody, somewhere would call it a relic and start worshipping it.
Too much diverts from the message as it is, imho.
