Ok what? "Ok, you're right" or "Ok, I apologize for asserting that you were wrong when you weren't"?



Your personal testimony and the Shroud of Turin image isn't in Scripture, so should that automatically mean your experience didn't happen, and that the Shroud isn't a true image of Jesus? And, why is your supposed personal experience of seeing and hearing Jesus true and Maria Valtorta's isn't?
I know a fake when I see it. I don't write books either. Jesus has sent me to tell others what He wants me to tell them. I told one former pastor recently the Jesus is waiting for Him after he dies and he had 100 days to live. Those all came true and the pastor just died after 100 days. I have witness's, Maria doesn't.

So, first, you're not going to admit that you were wrong in asserting that what I said was wrong? Then, perhaps Jesus will teach you about humility and honesty in person. Second, you haven't even read the e-book I linked to you that provides proofs in support of Maria Valtorta's writings and experiences of having a supernatural origin, so you're not in a position to say what she didn't have. Third, what was the name of the priest who died? On what date did Jesus tell you to tell him that he had 100 days to live? On what date did you tell the priest that he had 100 days to live? What was the date of this priests's death? What are the names of the witnesses to this, and can you provide their written or audible testimonies?

I don't give out personal information and you don't have to believe me. I like your name change though.

Not beautiful as though we would ever desire anything from him.

What does Jesus look like according to the Bible?​

Are you asking if he had a large nose, was tall short or fat or are you asking about his character?

He had no beauty. Thats for sure.

Black or white that stuff definitely doesn’t matter but he was indeed a Jew from the tribe of Judah.

You have seen Him how tall is He and what did His hands look like ?

What did His feet look like ?

What Jesus look like?

IMO…
Likely…
Not particularly stand out handsome / more so ordinary.

Not particularly Tall. Likely average 5’5”, -9” or so.

Ruddy completion. Tones of browns, whites, reds, yellow/ golden…changing with exposure to sun.

Hair likely, browns, red, golden casts… probably had waves / curls.

Possible browns, gray, greens, eyes mix.

Hands likely smooth, not rough as a bow hunter and meat carver.

Feet likely weathered, calloused (sandal walking), sandy / rocky / dusty terrains.

Is. 53:2 isn't about Jesus's physical appearance. Isaiah couldn’t have been prophesying, in part, that Christ would be physically ugly for a few reasons: (I) saying that someone will be rejected for being ugly doesn’t serve a meaningful purpose temporally or spiritually as a prophecy, (II) a lack of mention regarding physical appearance shouldn’t be taken as meaning the person being spoken about is automatically “ugly”, and (III) if Isaiah, a prophet of God, was saying that Christ will be ugly, then surely one of God's many disciples, especially of the women, or any of His twelve apostles, would’ve said something about Christ being so ugly as to be partially rejected and killed over it as well. But they didn’t…

The meaning of "He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him" (Is. 53:2) is this: To those who know Me not, there is in Me nothing to appeal to them, or to attract them. To those who know Me there is nothing more to be desired. “No beauty they could desire Him.”

He invites each person to draw very near to Him. To see Him as He really is, that ever they may have the joy of finding in Him all they could desire. The fulfillment of all they could desire in Master, Lord, or Friend.

It is too. If you don’t believe it I don’t care. I do.

View attachment 36338Revelation 1:14-16​

King James Version​

14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
It doesn't say BLACK! Why are you? Sounds pretty racist!

I don't give out personal information and you don't have to believe me.

First, you said that Jesus told you to tell a certain someone that they were going to die in 100 days, that it had come to pass, and you have witnesses. As to be expected, I'm asking for dates, names, and written/audible witness testimony, which isn't the same as personal information such as birth certificates, SSN's, home addresses, or phone numbers. So, what's the real reason why you don't want to provide the information I'm asking for? Is there any information that you can give to support your experience?


Second, regarding Maria Valtorta's experiences with Jesus (which there is proof for), you automatically asserted that she was lying and of Satan, without knowing anything about her, nor providing anything to support that assertion. What if people automatically assumed and asserted that you were lying and of Satan in response to hearing about your experiences with Jesus? Do you think that people should automatically do that if they don't know anything or everything about you or your experiences yet?

Does a black Jesus bother you? Y’know, I can kinda see Jesus showing up on Judgement Day looking like this just to make a point to some people whose lives were characterized by certain attitudes. “Inasmuch as you did it to the least of these my brothers and sisters, you did it to Me…”

But, you can't give an explanation for why Is. 53:2 is about Jesus's physical appearance?
I don’t have to. That’s the problem with people thinking they need to explain everything.

The problem is thinking that you don't have to, because not every differing explanation of Is. 53:2 can be right. One explanation is right (the one I gave you) and the rest are false.

I would say put it ot the test for others to investigate.

I can't say trust me.

But, you don't do that. You refuse to give your explanation why Is. 53:3 is about Jesus's physical appearance and not anything else.
Well I can’t prove God exist either so.
