Adam's post was about what our culture believes Jesus to look like. Really cool find.

Wow Adam, this is great!!
I must admit, your appearance does remind me of the typical Western view of Jesus, but as you pointed out, that image may be wrong entirely.
In my Sunday school, we were taught about the Shroud of Turin, so I always held that as proof of what Jesus looked like. The main illustration on your link is a startling contrast to our culture's idea.
This was very eye opening, thank you for sharing!!

Martha commented about her new views of the "holy family," with Jesus being a rebel and John a possible terrorist...

Haha, I know exactly what you're going through. It's hard to believe that Jesus, a man whom I was taught was peaceful and loving and serene was actually a revolutionary. Until Prof. Silliman mentioned it, I had no idea that Jesus and John were considered opposites.
And yes, why is it that Jesus is one of the few figures of Christianity? If he knew there was a religion and churches made in his name, he might be taken aback. My views on this man are completely changed, but you're right, we must keep an open mind.
