What does anyone think of Akiane Kravarik's depcitions of the Christ?

A product of her imagination.

I'll say this much. She's very talented. She's only 20 years old today and painted those portraits of Christ when she was still younger. She's mostly self-taught in art.

the image is from revelation, which is in err because the church that are named as the seven stars weren't even around then when jesus was on the earth.

Uh, was Revelation written while Jesus was on the Earth? I thought it was at least 30 some years after the cross.

People want to put a face to Jesus.I guess faith is not good enough.

The bible tells us not to.

Aren't all pictures of Jesus Italian?

 

[Gary]

Aren't all pictures of Jesus Italian?

No, they're all false. There's an image for every ethnicity, but all are false.

There's proscription against iconography, but just wonderng what He looked like?

 

[Rollo Tamasi]

I think Al Pacino is as good as any.

Unless a physical description can be found, no one will ever know. There's nothing wrong with wondering about His physical appearance, but we cross the line when we transfer those thoughts into what we deem art. The bible specifically says don't do it. Art or not, it's a false image and that makes it an idol........and wrong.

Need to put and place in Jesus regardless of what He looks like! But place our hearts and lives in Him. Meaning our faith and trust in Him!

I was always partial to John Lennon. Wasn't a big fan of his but he did resemble the picture.

Now now Gary, look at that picture in your avatar.
Is it a false image?
We mustn't be too harsh about things.

Absolutely. :yes
