Thanks for providing a decent explanation.

May I point out that most Christian believers 'know' that Jesus had blonde hair and blue eyes.

Christian believers have a lot of 'made up stuff' in their 'religions' as well.

Those details are not what's important anyway. It's the CONCEPTS put forth that GOD is trying to 'reveal' to us.

As far as the notion of Kolob, again these are only ways that a different religion explains the unexplainable.

The Christian 'view' of heaven is merely what someone still on the material plane believes that spiritual existence is like.

While fanciful and pretty, it's not 'the truth'. We can't yet 'understand' the truth.

Source for that comment? Link? Statistic?

Specifics? Sources? Links?

Provide YOUR "truth" and let's see if we understand it.

Usually the Religion Moderator requres that sources and links be provided for generalized comments.  However, if this is just your opinion,  it would be helpful if that is stated.

That's the way Mormons paint Him and Joseph Smith in a couple famous paintings that I've seen, but not any of the famous paintings of Christ by Christian artists.

Please be specific. What are the things that are "made up stuff" that WE Christians believe?

Details? Which details? You haven't said anything specific yet.

Please provide examples of what's important.

Really?

So I guess all those paintings I see of the long black-brown haired bearded olive skinned gentleman in even the most back wood of churches is a beloved janitor?

Before you "point out" again, try and know at that which are pointing...
