As far as what his beard and hair might have looked like, it all depends on how people take the Shroud of Turin, if it is an actual piece or a forgery, and along with that the Mandylion.

Not too far behind October Rust imo. I do like listening to them back to back sometimes.

I love just sitting in a dark room and blasting some Type O Negative. Peter Steele's voice is soothing as fuck.

Long hair is because he is "Nazerene" but he likely didn't have it. The beard was apart of cultural norms of the Jewish people.

That's a confusion with Nazarite, which are two different things. Jesus wasn't a Nazarite, he was called a Nazarene because he later went on to live in Nazareth.

Jesus wouldn't give a fuck about anybody's creed, race, skin tone

He said the body counts for nothing in the grand scheme of things, essentially. More importantly is, the most important component to this life is what we can achieve through spirit. We still don't know much at all about the spiritual but that is what matters. We use the body; make use of it but in reality it's just a vehicle to experience this physical world and can be destroyed. To us, it's something amazing, the human body. But to an eternal being like Jesus, the body seemed to be an afterthought. His thoughts seemed to always be geared towards purpose, the correct behavior and morals, showing love, one big family and being loved by one creator, teaching all things great in general, the path to eternal life

The body is like a leaf on a tree. Eventually it will fall and decompose

Supposedly, except that upon closer examination, pretty much a whole bunch of white guys tend to look the same when they have long hair and a beard.

This famous painting is of painter Albrecht Durer, and he looks just as much as your typical cliche Jesus as any other guy, in fact he looks closer to the actor that played Jesus in the movie Jesus of Nazareth

https://d32dm0rphc51dk.cloudfront.net/9NQX277XBdvBvKFJ8BoXGQ/larger.jpg

Here's Albrecht Durer again, different portrait -

http://totallyhistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/self-portrait2-by-durer-large.jpg

Today, modern guys that are said to look like the cliche Jesus include Seth Rollins -

Russel Brand -

Jared Leto -

And even Brad Pitt can pass off for a cliche Jesus -

http://images.amcnetworks.com/blogs.amctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Legends-Of-The-Fall.jpg

Yet all of these guys with short hair and without a beard would never be mistaken to look like each other.

Funny story, when I suggested to family that Jesus was a Israeli shorty to my family when we're talking about Jesus, my mother got mad at me. She started preaching to me about its what he did and didn't matter how he looked and nobody lived back then. Then I mentioned how the Bible implies it with the man in the tree story, and she stopped preaching will quick.

Fun times.

but modern Christianity is essentially an amalgamation of pagan roman customs. I mean look at all the sun worship and symbolism in catholic churches. It never really existed in the first place as a true Abrahamic religion
