Which image looks more like Jesus?

smictague — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:35:57 GMT

In recent portrayals by Caucasian Christian artists, Yeshua of Nazareth (a.k.a. Jesus Christ) has typically been shown with a light skin, a long "Presbyterian" nose, very long hair, and a height probably in excess of six feet. The face of Jim Caviezel, who plays Jesus in the movie "The Passion of the Christ," is similar to many modern-day images of Jesus. He is shown in the right picture above. Carlos F. Cardoza-Orlandi, associate professor of world Christianity at Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta, GA, commented: "While Western imagery is dominant, in other parts of the world he is often shown as black, Arab or Hispanic." 3 However, these have been based on pure speculation by the artists.

There have been at least two recent attempts at predicting what Yeshua actually looked like:

The center portrait above is based on the image on the Shroud of Turin, which is believed by some Christians to be the burial shroud of Jesus. It is of a man estimated to be 5' 11?" to 6' 2" tall. 1

Starting with the assumption that Jesus resembled a typical peasant from 1st century CEPalestine, Richard Neave, a medical artist retired from the University of Manchester in England, and a team of researchers: Palestine, Richard Neave, a medical artist retired from the
"... started with an Israeli skull dating back to the 1st century. They then used computer programs, clay, simulated skin and their knowledge about the Jewish people of the time to determine the shape of the face, and color of eyes and skin." 2

Mike Fillon followed the research and wrote an article about the portrait in "Popular Mechanics" magazine. 3 He said during a CNN interview that:
"There are very strong rabbinical laws in Israel that you cannot tamper with a skull or any bones, so they needed to reconstruct the skull. Using a cat scan, which is very common in hospitals, they were able to recreate the skull precisely and make a cast of it. Then they put small wooden pegs, based on anthropological data, to figure out what the muscle structure and the skin would look like, and so they layered that on using clay-like substances." 4

The result is shown in the left portrait above: a person with abroad peasant's face, dark olive skin, short curly hair and a prominent nose. His height would have been on the order of 5' 1"; he would have weighed about 110 pounds. Alison Galloway, professor of anthropology at the University of California in Santa Cruz , said that: "This [portrait] is probably a lot closer to the truth than the work of many great masters."

Jean Claude Gragard, used the left image in his documentary "Son of God," which was broadcast by the British Broadcasting Commission in 2001. He said:
"Using archaeological and anatomical science rather than artistic interpretation makes this the most accurate likeness ever created. It isn't the face of Jesus, because we're not working with the skull of Jesus, but it is the departure point for considering what Jesus would have looked like."
They guessed at the length of Jesus' hair on the basis of the reference by Paul that "If a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him." They speculate that Paul would not have written this if Jesus Christ had had long hair. However, that might not be a valid assumption. Jesus was referred to often in the Bible as "Rabbi." If he was an actual rabbi, he would definitely have followed Jewish law which forbade men from clipping the sides of their hair and their beards. Besides, there is no indication in the Bible that Paul actually met or saw Jesus.

Mike Fillon told CNN that:
"There is no way that we are saying this is the skull of Jesus...Christians believe...that Jesus' entire body was resurrected, so there would never be any bones or skull or DNA evidence of Jesus. Plus, his ministry was very, very short. So it would be hard to find a lot of evidence."
Some liberal theologians assume that Jesus was not resurrected. They assume that the Romans threw his body on a garbage heap to be eaten by scavengers. This was a near-universal practice for the victims of execution. Either way, the chances of finding any evidence is essentially nil.

It's Not Ironic, It's Obvious

smictague — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 07:48:40 GMT

Wander alone.
Seeing is believing
Not without a soul to hold me flat on the ground
I meant every word I said

You are the one I've been looking for
Wanting more
I'm all alone in this
What part of that did you miss?
That will not last

Hey you, I am the one you've been running from
But I know they don't know that maybe I was meant to live this way
In a love struck kind of way

Follow me into the void
Excuse me, do I even know you?
No you don't, no you don't
Get a grip, oh my god get a grip
On what? on what?

The final piece that I need is that spark in your eye
Where did it go?

My own disguise is right in my sights
We learn, we breathe
The sky hears my plea

Hey you, I am the one you've been running from
But I know they don't know that maybe I was meant to live this way
In a love struck kind of way
In two dimensions always

I've been living in the light of the world
Even you can't change me now

and, with this, i must be going [:

smictague — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:46:50 GMT

Get me out! Get me out!
Heaven can't handle you quite like I do
Stay close I'm your protection
Get me out! Get me out!
Let me show you the life

I will come
Breathe tonight
I will come
I will....

Whether we live or die just remember I'll be alright on the other side
Whether we live or die just remember I'll love you forever

I've been waiting for you
Let us settle this here
As you open your eyes
Oblivion sets in
The revolution caved in

Rise! Up on your feet girl
The world awaits your smile

Whether we live or die just remember I'll be alright on the other side
Whether we live or die just remember I'll love you forever

Did you think you were better off this way?
Running off with all the things you said to me

A Skylit Drive...ah, so good.
Let's pass some Love Notes, shall we? :D

trust

smictague — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 19:15:31 GMT

i always try to get over that but every time i come close, someone always reminds me of why i dont.

also:
i dont get the downgrading.
seriously.

suit yourselves.

Bisexuality

smictague — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 10:57:32 GMT

Okay so alot of people have been asking me, oh are you bi.
Just because of my looks, the way i dress or the way i walk and talk
I believe that *** is to make babies. and how am i suppose
to NATURALLY make a baby with a girl? i cant. Same with boys, how are they
suppose to make babies. Sure both sexs could be implated, but thats not natural..
I think people that do shit with the same *** just look for attention. Im not the type
of person who would be like WTF your bi. because i dont judge people. but there
are a fnckload of people who will. I also think its stupid to have a boyfriend, and still
claim your bi.. how the **** could you be bi when you have a boyfriend. makes no
sense to me.

Please note:
I DO NOT have a problem with gay people.
my friend is flaming gay. and i love him to death.

mehh i dont know.
im straight, thats what i do know.

i wish i was 15 again

smictague — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 21:47:46 GMT

High School year�
before all the s3x, drugs, and music took over all our lives
before we cared
before we faked everything
before we saw ourselves, and knew we were fnck ups
oh, how i miss the innocence i once had
but, then again, i wouldn�t be who i am today without those corruptions
and hardships
and look where i am
i�ve got all i need:
laptop, tattoo, no boyfriend
drama filled, complaining, bitchass friends
clean, accepting, proud family
oh, hot damn
