King James Isaiah 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

Or from the NIV: Isaiah 53:2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

While I agree it is silly to propose someones facial features when you don't even have the skull (it is in Heaven fully clothed with his skin-He Lives!), and we especially should not go to lengths to make his alleged appearance "ugly" the Scripture points out that Jesus was not physically attractive - by God's decision!

I love it when someone can back up assertions with the Word. Good job JimmyRay, and also you have provided an angle i had never before thought of.
