I was raised Jehovah's witness for a few years in foster care. I was taught that I shouldn't care what God and Jesus look like.🤔.. I don't practice anymore but, ... 🤷
Jesus's images, aka icons of all sorts, are not for the purpose of knowing what he looked like. The point of them is so you are visually reminded of his presence, to make eye contact as if with the actual Jesus, not get distracted by anything else, focus on him as in meditation (FYI there's even breathing and prayer associated with it much like Buddhist meditation) and to make your prayer conversation with him all the more real and deep.
“It was said to have borne a miraculous image of Christ” The whole point is it’s a miracle. Not a face-print 🤦🏼♀️😂 I don’t believe in any of it, but maybe that’s why I can hear what’s actually being said.
The Manopello image is a medieval watercolor painting on a transparent fabric. Any similarities to the actual face of Jesus that is depicted on the Holy Shroud have to be due to the artist having used the Shroud as a model.
Its not the image of a man whos been flogged and beaten, its not even a good image, looks like a kid drew it. Plus the legend of Veronica has been disproven, or at least her name was not Veronica.
My problem with this is: venerating a holy relic is tantamount to worshipping a cloth,a cup, or a piece of fabric. In a way, its idol worship, a violation of one ofbthe 12 commandments. I do underdtand why this developed, as people needed something to connect to Jesus and God the Father. Abstract concepts generally are hard for people to comprehend. But it still is just a cup, or a piece of cloth. The fact that Jesus may have touched it, or may not have, shouldn't make it divine. His divinity is in his sacrifice and his healing of the sick, and his teachings. He came to give us a way to the father. So we can have a relationship with God,, this has been lost. Lost in the mire ofv relics, although it's nice to have the knowledge, and archaeology, I appreciate it from that point of view.
Remember that Jesus appeared to Thomas and allowed that disciple to touch his wounds so that Thomas could believe in the resurrection. In this skeptical era, many say that Jesus never existed, or, if he did exist, that Jesus was only one of many street-corner preachers and that he did not actually perform any miracles. Jesus promised a sign for an unfaithful generation, and that sign is the miraculous image of his dead body on his burial cloth. It proves that the skeptics are wrong, that Jesus was a real first century person and that he did perform miracles. It is what the Pharisees asked for in Matthew 12: a sign from himself. See: "The Enigma of the Sign of Jonah," BSTS Shroud Newsletter, Summer 2023, pp. 42-46.
@@jeffreyerwin3665 The unbelief of Thomas is not a matter of relics, but of unbelieving he was crucified, and seeing the real thing. Whether the shroud is sign Jesus spoke of, remains to be seen. It is the opinion of one person or a group that this is the sign. The sign......may not be a material item at all. Signs usually were not material things, but of something in the heavens, like the burning bush in Exodus. And the plagues. These were also signs. I still believe we must have total faith in Jesus and God the Father. I have no doubt whatsoever in the power of the Father, he has clearly shown me in my own miracle of faith. I witness to this all the time to those that need to hear of it. I have total faith and trust in the Father without the veneration of relics. He is taking care of me.
@@duchessstudioband7896 Jesus predicted a sign for an unfaithful generation and he defined this sign as his burial of less than 72 hours. Forensic study of the images on the Shroud confirm Jesus' prediction of a short time of burial. That is why the images are the sign that Jesus promised the world. The Shroud is the seal of the Gospels. It is scientific proof of the authenticity of Jesus' ministry. No one tries to say that the cloth is divine or should be worshipped. Where do you get that idea? Maybe you just don't like the Shroud for unspoken reasons?
@@jeffreyerwin3665No one says you should worship the Shroud of Turin, as a Christian you'd be committing the most severe sin against God if you did worship it, or any image for that matter. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of anything that is in Heaven above, or that is in the Earth beneath, or that is in the water under the Earth. So EVERY Christian even remotely worshiping anything apart from God is not really taking God THAT seriously.
@@evertjan9479 Exodus 20:22-23 YHWH said to Moses, "tell the sons of Israel this, 'You have seen for yourselves that I have spoke to you from heaven. You shall not makes gods of silver or gods of gold to stand beside me; you shall not make things like this for yourselves. 'You are to make me an altar to earth, and sacrifice on this the holocausts and communion sacrifices from your flocks or herds. .. .You shall not go up to my altar by steps for fear you expose your nakedness.'" Jews, and only Jews, are bound by the Laws that YHWH gave to Moses. Those who are not of the children of israel are not, and never were, bound by these laws.
For me it all looks a hoax. The image is clearly drawn/painted. It’s not an imprint at all. The Shroud of Turin looks much more like an imprint. I consider the Shroud as the real possible face of Jesus, and the Veil of Veronica (both versions) as medieval or earlier hoaxes.
Correct. It isn't an imprint. They said she gave him the cloth which he used to wipe off the blood and sweat. Then he gave it back to her and a face 'magically' appeared on it. Unlike the Shroud of Turin, which was said to actually be an imprint from being laid over his body and it absorbed the ointments they used on his body during his burial.
The face on the Shroud looks like a Christian Crusader knight. There are mosiacs that survive from the 1st centaury and they show Jews with short cropped hair due to lice. They were more likely to have roundish faces with short hair, not long faces with long hair like the face on the Shroud. Yeshua Ben Yuseph/Iesous Cristos/Jesus Christ was a relative nobody when he was crucified on an X shaped cross. His face would not have been a celebrated feature at the time. There were no Polaroids! Fudging a religious icon was not considered to be a sin during the 13th centaury since it generated love & interest in Christ & God. That's how how you generate cash & people to build the faith and that's what God wants, so go for it!!!
@@lajinmark2084 I'm also not sure about the Shroud, it looks too much like how artists in the centuries before chose to show him, long hair, beard. The very earliest images of Jesus from the 200s are clean shaven and short hair.
Funny thing i have been to every single book store and BIBLE store, and I have NEVER EVER heard of this VEIL OF VERONICA! I have studied the scriptures more than GOD HIMSELF, and i am absolutely DUMBFOUNDED why this relic just APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE! If this was TRUE, we would have surely heard of it or seen it before now!
1 Corinthians Chapter 15 1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Giorgio Vassari reported that Raphael Sanzio painted an image of his face on a transparent byssus fabric. The description of this portrait fits exactly the one venerated as the "Veronica" in Manopello.
There are two separate issues deceptively equated here. Is this an image of Jesus Christ and is it created by the contact with the living Jesus Christ. Of course the Pope venerated it, just like he would kneel and venerate all painted icons of Jesus in any of the churches he visited. The science behind the authentication of the creation process of the image is a separate issue that doesn't change how the Pope or the faithful behave in reaction to it.
e Book of Deuteronomy, were spoken by God to the Israelites and then written on stone tablets by the Finger of God.[1] It continues, "... any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them."
This is all BS. If you want to know what Jesus looked like, look at any rendition of a Jew two thousand years ago. They look very similar today. Look at Bob Dylan with long hair for example. As for being the face of God, no one knows what lies behind this existence of ours as we perceive it.
Look at pictures of Jesus in the cathacombs: young , short toga, short hair, beardless. Or pictures of the synagogue in Syria, now in a museum. Same thing. The image of Christ is more a reflexion of Sol invictus in the 4th century
The Archko Volume has the most-stated depiction of Jesus .. as being of a smaller than normal stature with the population size of that time (Roman Centurions and Legionairres were considered the tallest at 5 ft 4 inches - 5 ft 6 inches), and he had red streaks (auburn) in his brown hair, or what would be a dark light brown strawberry blond hair and beard feature.
@@Dragonette666as mucvh as you say that, I would have to agree. The Archko volume, taken from Vatican archives, mentions Jesus as being of the same size or minutely smaller than the local population. The height at that time was ~ 4 ft 8 inches - 5 ft 3 inches. Roman soldiers and legionairres (it is said) were ~ 5 ft 6 inches. The same for colonial Americans were said to be in the 5-6 - 5-10 height, while some biggies like George Washington was 6-0. So these comments would invalidate the Shroud, but it had a very consuming image of what would appear to be a crucified person wrists and feet, blood, beaten up face, spear thrust into rib cage, etc.
@@johnlord8337 that would also allow his followers to get him out of dangerous situations like flipping over tables of the moneychangers. He vanishes in the crowd. same thing for Judas having to ID him. If he was massively tall , he'd just have to tell the Romans to arrest the tallest person they can find.
The image looks flat, probably even looks like a crude sketch. But if light shines from behind and depending on the angle, the image will look three-dimensional.
how do Christian’s believe this nonsense. We can’t find the ark, but some Semitic chick named Veronica got this and pass3d it through the years? No one is suspicious of even her name?
No if he was real, he was white. He was not from Africa, he was from Asia, and the same region today is still filled with the same white people. No doubt if Jesus was real, anybody would look at him and say he was white. Also, Jesus has been pictured as white for over a thousand years, nobody is trying to push his race on to anybody. For heaven sakes, Da Vinci pained him in the most famous Jesus painting ever, and he pained him as a white man over 500 years ago. I assure you, he was not trying to push the race of Jesus on to anybody. Even in Africa they paint Jesus a white man. Some of the most well know pictures of Jesus come from Africa, and he is white in those pictures. You know wh?ecause they know Jesus did not come from Africa, and was from Asia, and they know the race of the people in the region he came from. Jesus was as white as King Tut. The same King Tut who's DNA shows not only was he white, but over 50% of all living Europeans are related to him. Not bad for a Black Egyptian LOL. The best part about this, is you are the only on here that wants to push the race of Jesus on us, and it is because you are the biggot you claim others are. Get over it, race is meaningless. Grow up!

this looks so cartoon-like...it's so obvious that it's man -made. just look at the teeths, looks completely painted. and the beard type doesn't match with the shroud of turin..The man of the turin shroud had a long beard. the man of the manopello picture only a short beard. they cannnot both true. by the way...look at his moustache, clearly looks like a spanish man, not a man from the near-east region
what was Jesus wearing when he came out of the tomb? who sawJesus rise from the dead? Why did no one recognise him? where did all his wounds go except the ones in his hands and sides? Jesus was already prpared for burial when he was taken from the cross we even have the price and the wight of the herbs and unguents used bought by Ji=oseph of Arimathea. Do you know what a dead corpse would be like three days after death? whi si the earthquake not mentioned in all the gospels? why is the scene at the tomb diffrent in all gospels ref=garding the number of angels the location where they were seen what they said. who entered the tomb.
So there are actual photos of Jesus? Good grief what a bunch of ridiculous conjecture. As ignorant as saying Jesus was white when he was a Middle Eastern Jewish man who would be dark-skinned, dark-haired and dark-eyed.
Sorry to say but that is not real face of Jesus. The Turin shroud is 95 % look like Jesus face and he has curly hair shoulder level the creator father both of them having same face cut like a twins two body but their mind is one.

There is the very telling sentence in this story..."A GREAT SOURCE OF REVENUE"
This legend is taken from the shroud of Turin, the name Veronica comes from Vera Icon, the true likeness of Christ, which is imprinted on the shroud.
It's a pity they don't show any non religious historians to balance the story
Probably not but let’s make a hour long documentary about it anyway .
no
The Manopello image is a medieval watercolor painting on a transparent fabric. Any similarities to the actual face of Jesus that is depicted on the Holy Shroud have to be due to the artist having used the Shroud as a model.
It's odd that no one questions why these relics never appear for hundreds of years after the death of jesus.
Its not the image of a man whos been flogged and beaten, its not even a good image, looks like a kid drew it. Plus the legend of Veronica has been disproven, or at least her name was not Veronica.
My problem with this is: venerating a holy relic is tantamount to worshipping a cloth,a cup, or a piece of fabric. In a way, its idol worship, a violation of one ofbthe 12 commandments. I do underdtand why this developed, as people needed something to connect to Jesus and God the Father. Abstract concepts generally are hard for people to comprehend. But it still is just a cup, or a piece of cloth. The fact that Jesus may have touched it, or may not have, shouldn't make it divine. His divinity is in his sacrifice and his healing of the sick, and his teachings. He came to give us a way to the father. So we can have a relationship with God,, this has been lost. Lost in the mire ofv relics, although it's nice to have the knowledge, and archaeology, I appreciate it from that point of view.
Remember that Jesus appeared to Thomas and allowed that disciple to touch his wounds so that Thomas could believe in the resurrection. In this skeptical era, many say that Jesus never existed, or, if he did exist, that Jesus was only one of many street-corner preachers and that he did not actually perform any miracles.
Jesus promised a sign for an unfaithful generation, and that sign is the miraculous image of his dead body on his burial cloth. It proves that the skeptics are wrong, that Jesus was a real first century person and that he did perform miracles. It is what the Pharisees asked for in Matthew 12: a sign from himself.
See: "The Enigma of the Sign of Jonah," BSTS Shroud Newsletter, Summer 2023, pp. 42-46.
@@jeffreyerwin3665 The unbelief of Thomas is not a matter of relics, but of unbelieving he was crucified, and seeing the real thing.
Whether the shroud is sign Jesus spoke of, remains to be seen. It is the opinion of one person or a group that this is the sign. The sign......may not be a material item at all. Signs usually were not material things, but of something in the heavens, like the burning bush in Exodus. And the plagues. These were also signs. I still believe we must have total faith in Jesus and God the Father. I have no doubt whatsoever in the power of the Father, he has clearly shown me in my own miracle of faith. I witness to this all the time to those that need to hear of it. I have total faith and trust in the Father without the veneration of relics. He is taking care of me.
@@duchessstudioband7896 Jesus predicted a sign for an unfaithful generation and he defined this sign as his burial of less than 72 hours. Forensic study of the images on the Shroud confirm Jesus' prediction of a short time of burial. That is why the images are the sign that Jesus promised the world. The Shroud is the seal of the Gospels. It is scientific proof of the authenticity of Jesus' ministry. No one tries to say that the cloth is divine or should be worshipped. Where do you get that idea? Maybe you just don't like the Shroud for unspoken reasons?
@@jeffreyerwin3665No one says you should worship the Shroud of Turin, as a Christian you'd be committing the most severe sin against God if you did worship it, or any image for that matter.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of anything that is in Heaven above, or that is in the Earth beneath, or that is in the water under the Earth.
So EVERY Christian even remotely worshiping anything apart from God is not really taking God THAT seriously.

Exodus 20:22-23 YHWH said to Moses, "tell the sons of Israel this, 'You have seen for yourselves that I have spoke to you from heaven. You shall not makes gods of silver or gods of gold to stand beside me; you shall not make things like this for yourselves.
'You are to make me an altar to earth, and sacrifice on this the holocausts and communion sacrifices from your flocks or herds. .. .You shall not go up to my altar by steps for fear you expose your nakedness.'"
Jews, and only Jews, are bound by the Laws that YHWH gave to Moses. Those who are not of the children of israel are not, and never were, bound by these laws.
For me it all looks a hoax. The image is clearly drawn/painted. It’s not an imprint at all. The Shroud of Turin looks much more like an imprint. I consider the Shroud as the real possible face of Jesus, and the Veil of Veronica (both versions) as medieval or earlier hoaxes.
Correct. It isn't an imprint. They said she gave him the cloth which he used to wipe off the blood and sweat. Then he gave it back to her and a face 'magically' appeared on it. Unlike the Shroud of Turin, which was said to actually be an imprint from being laid over his body and it absorbed the ointments they used on his body during his burial.
The Shroud was dated to about 1300.
To me it looks not particularly well done. Some art from this period is beautiful but this looks quite badly done.
I don’t think that is the face of Jesus, it doesn’t look at all like The Shroud which I think is the real face of Jesus.
there are videos showing the faces are compatible - a question of angles.
The face on the Shroud looks like a Christian Crusader knight. There are mosiacs that survive from the 1st centaury and they show Jews with short cropped hair due to lice. They were more likely to have roundish faces with short hair, not long faces with long hair like the face on the Shroud. Yeshua Ben Yuseph/Iesous Cristos/Jesus Christ was a relative nobody when he was crucified on an X shaped cross. His face would not have been a celebrated feature at the time. There were no Polaroids! Fudging a religious icon was not considered to be a sin during the 13th centaury since it generated love & interest in Christ & God. That's how how you generate cash & people to build the faith and that's what God wants, so go for it!!!
@@lajinmark2084 I'm also not sure about the Shroud, it looks too much like how artists in the centuries before chose to show him, long hair, beard.
The very earliest images of Jesus from the 200s are clean shaven and short hair.
Funny thing i have been to every single book store and BIBLE store, and I have NEVER EVER heard of this VEIL OF VERONICA! I have studied the scriptures more than GOD HIMSELF, and i am absolutely DUMBFOUNDED why this relic just APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE! If this was TRUE, we would have surely heard of it or seen it before now!
😂
God only knows.
1 Corinthians
Chapter 15
1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Giorgio Vassari reported that Raphael Sanzio painted an image of his face on a transparent byssus fabric. The description of this portrait fits exactly the one venerated as the "Veronica" in Manopello.
“Jesus H Christ.”-Quint in Jaws
Is it possible that the suderium of Oviedo was the actual Veronica’s veil. That is why it was laid and sown into the hair??
31:14 Why do the eyes look like they're looking off to the side?
There are two separate issues deceptively equated here. Is this an image of Jesus Christ and is it created by the contact with the living Jesus Christ. Of course the Pope venerated it, just like he would kneel and venerate all painted icons of Jesus in any of the churches he visited. The science behind the authentication of the creation process of the image is a separate issue that doesn't change how the Pope or the faithful behave in reaction to it.
If this cloth and the shroud are images of Christ, why do they look like different people?
There is a troubling asymmetry to that illustration... eyes are not lined up correctly.
700 years later it pops up in Rome.....in the 'hands' of the RCC....color me surprised.
e Book of Deuteronomy, were spoken by God to the Israelites and then written on stone tablets by the Finger of God.[1] It continues, "... any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them."
Wow, a scammer ads just popped up
Maybe instead of keeping it she paid her respects in the burial process and wrapped his head with the extra cloth
This is all BS. If you want to know what Jesus looked like, look at any rendition of a Jew two thousand years ago. They look very similar today. Look at Bob Dylan with long hair for example. As for being the face of God, no one knows what lies behind this existence of ours as we perceive it.
Look at pictures of Jesus in the cathacombs: young , short toga, short hair, beardless. Or pictures of the synagogue in Syria, now in a museum. Same thing. The image of Christ is more a reflexion of Sol invictus in the 4th century
Jesus looked like Bob Dylan? Ok, lol
@@breadwojak Yeah. Like Jewish, what would anyone expect him to look like.
The Archko Volume has the most-stated depiction of Jesus .. as being of a smaller than normal stature with the population size of that time (Roman Centurions and Legionairres were considered the tallest at 5 ft 4 inches - 5 ft 6 inches), and he had red streaks (auburn) in his brown hair, or what would be a dark light brown strawberry blond hair and beard feature.
that would rule out the shroud , as the figure on the shroud is well over 6 feet tall. 6' 4"+ I think
@@Dragonette666as mucvh as you say that, I would have to agree. The Archko volume, taken from Vatican archives, mentions Jesus as being of the same size or minutely smaller than the local population. The height at that time was ~ 4 ft 8 inches - 5 ft 3 inches. Roman soldiers and legionairres (it is said) were ~ 5 ft 6 inches. The same for colonial Americans were said to be in the 5-6 - 5-10 height, while some biggies like George Washington was 6-0. So these comments would invalidate the Shroud, but it had a very consuming image of what would appear to be a crucified person wrists and feet, blood, beaten up face, spear thrust into rib cage, etc.
@@johnlord8337 that would also allow his followers to get him out of dangerous situations like flipping over tables of the moneychangers. He vanishes in the crowd.
same thing for Judas having to ID him. If he was massively tall , he'd just have to tell the Romans to arrest the tallest person they can find.
Yet another reason not to play PEEKABOO at the Vatican.
The image looks flat, probably even looks like a crude sketch. But if light shines from behind and depending on the angle, the image will look three-dimensional.
No one has a face like that anatomically speaking
Though shalt not lie
how do Christian’s believe this nonsense. We can’t find the ark, but some Semitic chick named Veronica got this and pass3d it through the years? No one is suspicious of even her name?
The Ark was found. On Mt Aarat.

Well short answer is they mostly don't, Catholic Church has never claimed its genuine.
The Veil of Veronica is not even mentioned in the Bible.

Jesus was the only white man around 😂😂😂
Spoiler Alert: Jesús was not White as Europeans would want us to believe
I agree with you! Not black either! Brown skin! Green,or brown eyes! About maybe 5 ft in height at the most!
No if he was real, he was white. He was not from Africa, he was from Asia, and the same region today is still filled with the same white people. No doubt if Jesus was real, anybody would look at him and say he was white. Also, Jesus has been pictured as white for over a thousand years, nobody is trying to push his race on to anybody. For heaven sakes, Da Vinci pained him in the most famous Jesus painting ever, and he pained him as a white man over 500 years ago. I assure you, he was not trying to push the race of Jesus on to anybody. Even in Africa they paint Jesus a white man. Some of the most well know pictures of Jesus come from Africa, and he is white in those pictures. You know wh?ecause they know Jesus did not come from Africa, and was from Asia, and they know the race of the people in the region he came from. Jesus was as white as King Tut. The same King Tut who's DNA shows not only was he white, but over 50% of all living Europeans are related to him. Not bad for a Black Egyptian LOL. The best part about this, is you are the only on here that wants to push the race of Jesus on us, and it is because you are the biggot you claim others are. Get over it, race is meaningless. Grow up!
many scholars, Revelation 1:14-15 offers a clue that Jesus's skin was a darker hue and that his hair was woolly in texture. The hairs of his head, it says, "were white as white wool, white as snow.

@@sheroldpruitt8328 I read your wonderful text! But I come across some what confused?? If you say that Christ Jesus was, black than I would have to disagree with you!

As you read from the book of revelation,the book of revelation,was written 150 years after the death of Christ Jesus! And it was not written by the apostle John! It was supposed written by a disciple, John divine! He was exiles or l, believe he was beening punishment? Another fun fact,martin Luther as he was writing the bible in German, he was deciding if the book of revelation, should be allowed in bible he was writing.

People will say anything on the internet. Is this intended to be a serious channel?
There were 6 veils, a cardinal just chose one to be used as the veil. This is the one chosen. It's not likely to have been Veronica's. Rather one that touched it and was then painted.

Why is Catholicism based in Italy?
because it is simply a continuation of the Roman empire. Jesus NEVER meant to found a new religion Christianty is not jesus's church HE NEVER HAD ONE jesus was a fervent Jew. praying in the temple and in the synagogue. when Paul came along and introduced the gentiles he warped and twisted jesus's teaching. Then came Constantine a pagan until his death.=who continued the demolision of jesus's mission. The modern Catholic church is the product of Constantine.

this looks so cartoon-like...it's so obvious that it's man -made. just look at the teeths, looks completely painted. and the beard type doesn't match with the shroud of turin..The man of the turin shroud had a long beard. the man of the manopello picture only a short beard. they cannnot both true. by the way...look at his moustache, clearly looks like a spanish man, not a man from the near-east region
😂😂😂 so Jesus is white!? Yeah, sure 🙄 lol 😂
The face on THE SHROUD IS MY JESUS FACE
what was Jesus wearing when he came out of the tomb? who sawJesus rise from the dead? Why did no one recognise him? where did all his wounds go except the ones in his hands and sides? Jesus was already prpared for burial when he was taken from the cross we even have the price and the wight of the herbs and unguents used bought by Ji=oseph of Arimathea. Do you know what a dead corpse would be like three days after death? whi si the earthquake not mentioned in all the gospels? why is the scene at the tomb diffrent in all gospels ref=garding the number of angels the location where they were seen what they said. who entered the tomb.
So there are actual photos of Jesus? Good grief what a bunch of ridiculous conjecture. As ignorant as saying Jesus was white when he was a Middle Eastern Jewish man who would be dark-skinned, dark-haired and dark-eyed.
Oh my !!! Porcine and Oysters 🤦
Obviously copied from the original Polaroid.
Let me save you 50 minutes.
NO IT'S NOT.
No. Next question.
Sorry to say but that is not real face of Jesus. The Turin shroud is 95 % look like Jesus face and he has curly hair shoulder level the creator father both of them having same face cut like a twins two body but their mind is one. In spirit Jesus has no color because his body full of bright light but the great creature father has color like the native Ethiopian jews.
there are errors jesus eye's were closed they would be wide open it is not a orginal artifact
No to the picture. I know i seen jesus he had blond to light brown hair almost a golden coler and next to god and their was no other 🧝
It doesn't matter for a single second what Jesus looked like. This is the most pointless video I've ever seen on you tube or anywhere else. Jesus Christ is my savior and salvation.
It absolutely matters. People need an image, a symbol. Something to visualize. Humans are like that. Jesus was in the form of man.
Have a blessed day. 😊
