This image of what Jesus may have looked like is on the cover of Popular Mechanics this month.
This representation is quite different from the typical lithe, long-haired, light-skinned and delicate-featured depiction of the man Christians consider the son of God.

Neave and a team of researchers started with an Israeli skull dating back to the 1st century. They then used computer programs, clay, simulated skin and their knowledge about the Jewish people of the time to determine the shape of the face, and color of eyes and skin.But you can't make those assumptions. His Father wasn't from that area... (snickers and runs)

'
If a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him' if Jesus Christ had had long hair?" the article surmises."I've heard this quoted without the entirity of the verse also. Paul makes it clear after that statement that if a man be contentious or happy in his appearance with long(er) hair, "we have no such custom, neither the churches of God." First Corinthians Ch. 11 V. 16.
I don't think a blanket statement on size, weight, or hair length was accurate for those times no more so than they would be for today....

Yeah, that's my favorite also. What a wonderful sight that will be to lay our eyes on the Real Deal.

According to the studies done on the Shroud, for those who believe that was Jesus on the Shroud, Jesus was about 5'11". He was tall but did not tower over everyone.

We'll find out when we see Jesus, and the angels, who, by the way are all MALES
And what does them all being MALE have to do with anything? Is that to say that women are fallen further than men and thus have more difficulty finding salvation?
