I think somebody made that picture. It's a hoax, just like the statue of Mary bleeding tears. Besides, like Michael said, how do we know what Jesus looked like? <br /><br />When Constantine was the emperor of Rome, he wanted to convert the Pagans to Christianity. Constantine knew they wouldn't desert their beliefs, so he intertwined their beliefs into Christianity to try to sway them into worshipping one god. Constantine created the image of Jesus with the long hair, after a Pagan god. Also, we have no proof that Jesus ever existed. However, there was a guy who was an a Essene, and I think that's who the early Christians were talking about. Oh, and the whole Jesus walking on water, being born of a virgin, blah, blah, blah, is stories about Pagan gods. The church stole those stories and created a simple human into the son of God with supernatural powers. . . Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now. :) Rebekkah Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01691211606943521940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258788979142293877.post-90029156946563996782012-08-16T12:36:26.676-04:002012-08-16T12:36:26.676-04:00How do you know that's what Jesus looks like?How do you know that's what Jesus looks like?Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.com
