Isaiah talks about Christ's appearance growing up as well

Isaiah 53

2For 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

[Running On Empty]

You’re right.

Thanks for your clarification.

a pagan emperor set a day of worship for Christians.

You should research that more fully for accuracy. It's akin to saying the British Parliament set the Westminster Confession of Faith.

[D-fendr]

Now you are dodging the question, for want of a more precise word.

"When this "Church" disbands it's Diplomatic Corp and it's "observer" seat in the United Nations."

You apparently missed WWII. It was in all of the papers.

I lived through it. And you?

FYI the United Nations was established after WWII. Further, the Vatican did not disband it's diplomatic corp during WWII.

First of all, you didn't even know that Scripture existed and now you pass it off as after the torture.

LOL!I perfectly knew of that passage, but this is the first time I've heard of it being applied it to his everyday appearance.

Sure you did!/s

And that's why you said that Scripture was speaking about AFTER the TORTURE?

That was speaking of His Passion. Of course, a person who was beaten to a pulp and was crowned with thorns is not going to look attractive.

It was ALWAYS speaking about his everyday appearance. Because there is Scripture that speaks about AFTER THE TORTURE.

Backstepping isn't cool, it's deceptive.

but I remind you that you are "man" also.

May I remind you of who I am IN CHRIST! I am HOLY SPIRIT filled!

[1000 silverlings]

That’s right, Jesus looked perfectly ordinary. When people did notice him, they said “Who him? isn’t that the carpenter’s son?”

[D-fendr]

there is a human desire to build large beautiful churches not so much to honor Jesus Christ, but to project status and authority.

Perhaps if you built them this would be your motive. If I were tasked with creating a space for the Body of Christ, the Communion of Saints and the presence of Our Lord I would create a beautiful and awesome space - as much so as God allowed it to come through me. I would pray that He would allow me to be His instrument in creating a sacred and holy space for the worship of The Most Holy Trinity.

[D-fendr]

I am HOLY SPIRIT filled!

So you are infallible in interpretation of Scripture. Good to know. And so humble as well.

[1000 silverlings]

you are tasked with it

[D-fendr]

No, I am only tasked with myself. I’m not an architect for the Church.

[1000 silverlings]

lol

[wagglebee]

It’s just the latest catch-phrase that non-secular Protestants use to try to distance themselves from Protestants that they don’t agree with.

A generation ago they called themselves “Born Again” and many of them voted for a peanut farmer who called himself by the same turn and then they started abandoning that term.

They’ve used many such terms over the centuries as they continue to disunite with each other.

[Pyro7480]

Now, you’re accusing me of backstepping? Good grief, I’m not going to continue on this conversation with you if you’re going to make it personal. Did you even see Running on Empty’s post?

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Plus, don’t you think it’s a little cool trying to build the best we can when offering our talents in prasie of a carpenters Son?

[D-fendr]

trying to build the best we can when offering our talents in praise of a carpenters Son?

Ha! Hadn't thought of that.

[D-fendr]

In praise of a carpenter of course...

[presently no screen name]

EXACTLY! They looked at HIM outwardly, their perception of him.

[D-fendr]

I never got your, excuse me, the Holy Spirit’s answer:

Does God’s word say you are violating the commandments by celebrating the Lord’s Day on Sunday?
