We have a pretty good idea what Jesus looked like

[TheDingoAteMyBaby]

For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot,

And like a root out of parched ground;

He has no stately form or majesty

That we should look upon Him,

Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.

He was despised and forsaken of men,

A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;

And like one from whom men hide their face

He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

(Isaiah 53:2-3)

The term "graven" used in Exodus 20:4 is the Hebrew word "pecel (peh-sel)," which literally translates to a "carved idol." The Hebrew word for "image" used was "tselem," which also translates to a phantom, or a representative figure or idol. The statement is clear that the Lord is talking about creating a fetish, an image to worship. In the King James, the term 'graven image' is used, but in the New American Standard, both words are joined to simply state "an idol."

Your statement about the signs is an improper comparison, since the signs are not related at all. The speed limit has nothing to do with whether or not it's illegal to make a U turn. You are taking two unrelated things and saying it's improper to join them, but the statement in question is about splitting a sentence and making each part a whole.

A better comparison would be to say that playing checkers is the same thing as using a Ouji board since they both involve moving game pieces on a board with markings on it.

Some people speculate that the reason the disciples and Mary didn’t recognize him after he had risen from the dead until he spoke is because of what he looked like with his beard gone.
