@anttibjorklund1869 "image" means "exact likeness" and the Hebrew word for it in Genesis is also used as "photograph" modernly, so it's not a 'vague' image, but something very recognisable.

@julienielsen3746 Is that the King James that renders "Passover" as "Easter" in the book of Acts and names the book of Ya'akov or Jacob, the brother of the Lord, as "James" just to flatter King James by seeing his name in the pages of the Bible and thus get their translation favoured?

@richclay7928 Yes, I don't think His appearance was that outstanding as the Bible does say that there was nothing remarkable about Him that we should behold Him. He probably blended in quite well among average Galilean men, such as ordinary fishermen, which is why He would have been hurled insults from time to time, but His teaching ("torah") would have set Him apart. It's nice when some people in the Church regain a sense of humour, so lityle of it around. Shalom 🕊🌿 I agree ethnicity does not matter, but some people baulk at His Jewishness.

@anttibjorklund1869 I thought the office of "priest" disappeared with the Temple. I can't find it listed among the offices for the Church as described in the New Testament. Altars went too. Spirirually there is description of "kings and priests" describing who we are in Christ, but there are no "kings" in the Church today, so why "priests"? The Church replaced the old Priesthood.

@jamellfoster6029 Protestants all keep Catholic 'holy days' and man-made traditions

@baneofbanes I do quite a few harsh Christians out there. Personally I avoid them.

@argusfleibeit1165 What genuine believer would have venerated such a thing anyway?

@lf7354 If it does belong to Jesus the Church is guilty of theft!

@Praise___YaH There is no capital letters in Hebrew either, so you don't need to capitalize all the time as God's Name has no capitals. In fact both the names of God the Father and the Son begin with the SMALLEST letter in the Hebrew alphabet, "yud" ("y"), which looks something like a comma, such is the great humility of God. Capital letters are a modern man-made invention.

@Praise___YaH Moshe spoke the tongue of the Egyptians for sure living among them, but they were still called the Hebrews ("Ivrim"). Are you suggesting they did not have a language of their own and God wrote the Ten Commandments in Egyptian so that Moshe could understand Him? The book of Genesis mentions EBER or "EVER" in Hebrew, the origin of the word "Hebrew," meaning "to cross over." If the "Ivrim" or those who "crossed over" from Egypt into the Promised Land did not know Hebrew then they were not really a distinct nation at all, but just an Egyptian speaking sub-group with a God that would have had to have spoken their language, not His.

@Praise___YaH I never mentioned females. I haven't energy for arguing. I don't know what time zone you're in, but here in the UK it is too late for a terminally ill kidney transplant patient to be using his valuable energy with late night online commenters. Too many disputes for me. 🌿

So would they be "graven images" as forbidden in the Ten Commandments? The Hebrew word for "image" used in Genesis is the same root word used modernly for "photograph" today.

No Messianic Jews on that map, nor Sabbath-keeping churches, such as the Quartodecimans of Asia Minor founded by John the Apostle, the Celtic Church of Britain and Ireland founded by Patrick and many other persecuted groups, such as the Waldenses, Albigenses etc. Silence.

@bootbredda2724 Well, the Semites or Shemites, of which the Hebrew ("Ivrim") and the Arabs ("Aravim") are part, are descended from Shem, the son of Noah, so it is a racial identity/history.
1
@bootbredda2724 Do you mean "Semitic" when you write "Semetic" or is that another sub-group I haven't heard about?
1
@anubratabit3027 The Bible mentions plucking the beard off His face, so He wasn't clean shaven.
1
@b.a.erlebacher1139 What do Arabs look like? They are the Jews' cousins with the same father Abraham.

@sohu86x Who said? He was the son of a carpenter the Bible says, not that He was a carpenter. That is presumption. He was found teaching in the Temple and reading Scripture in synagogues.

@ugonelearntodayknewz4794 I know many Arabic speaking Jewish rabbis in Israel with dark skin. I guess Jews and Arabs are able to both live in Europe and become un-Semitic, if it's only about skin colour. If Jesus was not European then His Name must have been Yeshua after all! 🙃

@bootbredda2724 Why the obsession with race?
1
@bootbredda2724 Well, I can't keep replying as it's not conducive to anything positive for me and too much energy expended this late at night for a terminally ill kidney transplant patient. My docs say it's too exhausting when immunosuppressed. I'm off to sleep and forgetting religion.

@richclay7928 We only have a "good idea" about how Miriam Yeshua's mother looked because of so many depictions of her, especially from those branches of Christianity that venerate her the most, and I have seen many where she looks like a blonde, blue-eyed European Gentile rather than a Middle Eastern housewife from Nazareth. Yosef her husband is not described physically as such in the Bible, so how can we have an idea of those attributes apart from making them up and portraying him anyway in the same as has been done for Miriam and Yeshua, later re-named "Mary" and "Jesus" by the Gentiles. What we do know is that he was a carpenter, which would have required some physical stamina, so it is possible he was a reasonably strong man and he was a Galilean Jew, so likely wore a beard and not cut his hair above his ears as is written in the Torah. We also know that he came from the family line of the illustrious King David so he had a royal bloodline, and as such may have been accorded some respect, apart from having a pregnant fiancee. That would have brought scandal, especially as she was from the priestly line of Aaron, the brother of Moses, but the Gentile Christians never allude to any of that about her. They just focus on her pregnancy, not on the importance of her family tree the way the Jews would be, hence the two genealogies of Yeshua clearly listed for any Jew to identify the credentials of the Messiah just from those two lists of Yosef and Miriam's family trees, but most Christians just fall asleep whenever these are ever read out, as they are not interested in them.

@williebriscoe2400 no sich thing as the mid-west or deep south either or even united states. It's all America if you reject any geographic descriptions other than the names of continents. Writing from a continent in the west I used to think was northern Ireland, but it obviously isn't. 🙃

@diananievesavellanet Well the Irish are known for their humour, but that can't be said for everyone else on this channel who seems to be taking life and every comment far too seriously. But that might just be a characteristic of being so enlightened and knowledgeable that you boast of. It's not my channel so you don't need to unsubscribe because of me, I'm sure the original video was entirely legitimate, which is why we all tuned in in the first place. Just don't read the comments below the video and you won't be bothered by them. That would be even easier. 🙃 There do seem to be a lot of crackpots out there and a lot of them disturb me too. The Christians are the edgiest of all and best not engaging with. They bite your nose off. ☘
