Except for the part in prophecy where Jesus is specifically described as being unattractive lol

“He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.” https://web.mit.edu/jywang/www/cef/Bible/NIV/NIV_Bible/ISA+53.html#:~:text=He had no beauty or,that we should desire him.&text=He was despised and rejected,and we esteemed him not.

Hair was also curlier, like lamb’s wool.

He could probably have had some decent dreads.

Given his association with the wild preacher, John the Baptist, he very well might have

I thought those passages meant he had back hair you could get lost in for days but I’m no religious scholar

Maybe that’s why Jews don’t believe him to be the messiah — he was too damn hot.

I don’t see any reason to take the term “beauty” here in a modern sense. If that is the game we are playing here.

Is it “Jesuses”? “Jesi”? “Jeese”? Or maybe it’s “Christs Jesus” like attorneys general?

Are you all discussing how a person from a fairytale looked like?

The joke is more about Americans thinking a bronze age man in the middle east looking like a white American or European.

The Iron Age(s) started several hundred years before the Roman conquest of Judaea.

The Hittites in Anatolia, basically next door to the area, were among the first to discover iron working.

Chalk it up to great marketing.

Allegedly based on a portrait of a Borgia for their imaginary savior, white-washing him. Much more palatable for the xenophobic religious zealots.

In all fairness, Jesus was probably an historical figure. Everything built around his life though…

Star Wars Memes

!starwarsmemes@lemmy.world

Create post

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It’s not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

==========

IMPORTANT

Please do not post the “good friend” or similar copypasta

==========

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you’re looking here for rules, you’re probably someone who doesn’t need to have them spelled out. You’re fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that’s meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart… Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it’s a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn’t concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it’s about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
