This is going to seem indelicate because I need to make a point. Suppose someone were to make a statue of Jesus (or what they thought Jesus looked like)

Doug, think of this.....There are no descriptions of what Jesus looked like other then he was probably an average looking Jew.

The pictures and statues we see that supposedly represent him and Mary are pictures from inside some man’s mind.

So the end results are pretty well depicted by what the artist envisioned them to be.

If he happened to have an evil influence helping him,then we are now seeing the results of it.

Think of how some are going to feel, when Christ returns, and we see he looks nothing like the statues and pictures, and we ask him who is this man that weve thought was you all these years, and he says,

Who was the son of the morning? how art thou cut down to the ground,
Who can be a wolf, and pass off as a sheep?
Who was full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

Now who do you think this tall, thin, hansom, effeminate looking person with long blondish hair, unthreatening, charismatic looking young man with sad blue eyes really was?

Dare we ask who was the actual woman who’s likeness is said to be that of Mary?

Actually, much worse, the statue of Mary depicted in the Vatican is the exact replication of the ancient goddess Eshtar(Easter) the goddess of fertility!!

And of course, all this has nothing to do with the point under discussion, and everything to do with Protestant iconoclasm, which is essentially a reaction to Catholic forms of worship in the 16th Century. The Protestant cult has to do with making the BOOK the object of worship, as can be seen most clearly in Zwingli's Church in Zurich.

Don't try to tell me she is not a beautiful, pure white woman, with Rosary beads in her hand. Those little kids in Fatima couldn't be mistaken.
