Eh...going out on a limb here. Do Christian Republicans know who they're worshipping?

there's very little i could say about jesus that you wouldn't disagree with, it seems.

 

Because Jesus followed the Jewish customs so closely, right?

 

Sorry I misunderstood you.

 

Sure he did. He was a Jewish extremist. His last meal was Passover. He was called "Rabbi". He was circumcised. He was found a the Temple when he was lost as a kid.

I would assume of these things would be important to a Christian. How could it not be?

 

I believe you can't fully understand the NT without understanding the context of living as a Jew in first-century Palestine. In that sense I still have tons to learn.

but when we're talking about art...we're not talking about the importance of historical accuracy. so bringing us back to topic...we're talking about a mosaic.

 

The love of Jesus is more real to me than anything I can see with my eyes or hear with my ears or taste, smell or touch.

It burns inside my heart.

I don't know what to call it, maybe grace, maybe forgiveness?

But it is real.

My heart or spirit or soul or whatever it is inside this head of mine has experienced love, forgiveness, something divine, spiritual, and I cannot explain that at all -so hair color, length of beard and physical appearance just doesn't cross my mind.

I'm not sure Jesus physical features fit in anywhere, except for scars in his body.

My thirst is quenched, hunger satisfied, journey over, freedom, burden lifted, completed, peace.

It is heaven come to earth, just can't get there with the physical senses.
