Re: Peace.

"However I don't want to over look a point Yabruf made that had some truth to it. Why do we hang on to a man-made vision of what Jesus looks like? The same can go for heaven as well. I think we love to visualize things we treasure. The things we can't see. However, we don't want to idolize the image, for if we do that's then Faith is ruined. For you know we don't know what Jesus really looks like anymore than we know the exact date He was born. It has to do with Faith. Faith in who He is and what He has done and what He is now doing."

I agree! The movies made about Jesus make me uncomfortable too. They seem to always purposely pick out some really handsome dude to play Jesus when the bible says this:

Isaiah 53:2 For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.

And then the tales of "visits to heaven" cheapen so much what I believe heaven will really be like.

I'll wait with faith and hope instead of listening to those accounts. I think it will be better than we can imagine. I know it will be. :)
