2. If mag base lang ta sa Bible, wla gyud sa Gospels ang nag.describe kay Jesus, that authors, think that the looks of Jesus was never that important sa iyang ministry, however in the Book of Isaiah gi prophesy ni Isaiah a little bit ang face sa Messiah. Isaiah 53:2b, “He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him, nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him.” Isaiah further describes the appearance of Christ as He would appear as He was being scourged prior to His crucifixion. “His appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness” (Isaiah 52:14) Jesus was a Jew, so He likely had dark skin, dark eyes, and dark hair.
3. First of all before answering your 3rd and fourth question let us define first what church is according to the bible. the church is not a building or a denomination. According to the Bible, the church is the body of Christ—all those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. Ephesians 1:22-23 says, “And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. So in a simplistic matter, everyone who believes that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior is part of the Church. A Baptist church, Lutheran church, Catholic church, etc., is not the church, as in the universal church—but rather is a local church, a local body of believers. The universal church is comprised of those who belong to Christ and who have trusted Him for salvation. These members of the universal church should seek fellowship and edification in a local church. The Bible tells us that all believers need to attend church so that we can worship God, be taught from His Word (Acts 2:42; Hebrews 10:25), and have relationships with other believers.
4. The Bible nowhere instructs us how often we should take communion. 1 Corinthians 11:24-26 records the instructions for communion. It would seem, then, that since we take the Lord’s Supper to remember Christ’s death and shed blood, we should take it fairly often. Some churches have a monthly Lord’s Supper service, others do it bi-monthly, others weekly. Since the Bible does not give us specific instruction as to frequency, there is some latitude in how often a church should observe the Lord’s Supper. It should be often enough to renew focus on Christ, without being so often that it become routine. In any case, it’s not the frequency that matters, but the heart attitude of those who participate.
