"Most people would expect Jesus to appear as HE does in paintings,I think; but my point was that why would HE? Why wouldn't HE appear looking just like anyone else? People who know HIM, would know HIM in their hearts,no matter what HE was wearing."

Yes, some people may expect Him to look like some painting they saw. Not me. That's why I said that He could be the young man in jeans sitting next to you in church.

No, you weren't one of those who said anything my church.

nopardons said, "People behave differently,when they wear different types of clothing." Perhaps that is true in some situations. But I believe, for example, that a true lady is a lady no matter if she's wearing a ball gown, or jeans. I've seen plenty of women in my time who dressed real nice, but they sure didn't act like "ladies".

Your other main comment, "People also react to people,by how they are dressed. Is this superficial and petty? No,I really don't think so". IMO, that pretty much sums up the difference between you and I, and some others on this thread. I believe judging people, or reacting to people, by how they are dressed IS superficial and petty.

You wouldn't have any reaction,then to some woman you know,who showed up at a picnic on a beach,in a brand new ball gown? Oh come on...that's human nature! I didn't say that you would treat her badly,or say anything untoward;just that you,as anyone else would,react to her inappropriate dress,in your mind.

You still don't get the you behave as you are dressed thing. *sigh*.

Look...some young men/boys wear jeans hanging off them and other articles of clothing, emulating criminals in prison;for that IS wear this "fashion trend" came from. White and black and Hispanic and Asian...I don't care which race, you take that boy out of those clothes and put him in something 1)that fits 2) doesn't make him look like he just got out of jail or is just going into one and his behavior will change.

As to what Jesus would look like and wear,when HE comes back, it's dollars to donuts,that HE isn't going to look like a painting or a statue of HIM at all. But if HE come back dressed like a gangsta rapper,I'll be very surprised.
