What happens to Jesus if he does not look like Christian Bale or Jim Caviezel?

Religion and religious have always sought a way to fix their mind on their God(s). Some of the orthodox churches are no exception to it. They have always included an image, statue, idol, and iconography part of their rituals and as an identification of religiosity. Propelled by Renaissance, with the power and wealth of Roman church, the artists went about expressing their mental image of Jesus (Yeshua*) in an elegant and princely manner. Over a period of time Yeshua has become more westernized in our mind than what He was. We have idolized Yeshua with looks of Christian Bale, Jim Caviezel and the likes.

However, now, the forensic experts have come up with an image of Yeshua — The Jesus, which can really puzzle your mind and your spirituality. There is an element of imagination that goes into our interaction with God. This being the fact, will you believe Yeshua in the form that your mind might see in future.

I believe this is the very reason Yeshua always said and focused on the Word and even John the apostle started his narration of Yeshua’s history as “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1)
It would have been good for the Church, if it had kept its flock educated on the Word and not with imagery and icons. I fail to understand still, why Church needs to propagate and build its faithful’s faith based on images and icons.

The image of Yeshua — The Jesus, for you in the perspective of forensic artists.

What about the black Yeshua of the brethren in Africa? Rest of the continents have ignored their iconography as always.

Truly, we need a redeemer to redeem Yeshua from the western concept and looks!

PS: I am not against art in the world of religion. Don’t make God(s) out of them!


(*Yeshua — is the real name of Jesus. What we have today is anglicized and westernized name. Yeshua said ‘in my name they will cast out demons’. Will devil know the semantic and lingo of the modern church! In whose name is the church casting demons these days? )

Chennai is Rising though #NationalMedia forgot #ChennaiFloods

Chennai is Rising though #NationalMedia forgot #ChennaiFloods ***************************************************** #NationalMedia you don’t get sensational with relief work.  Do you? The nation really wants to know why do you exist. Just fyi - Chennai and TN - we are part of India. We feel proud to be part of India though you forgot the misery of thousands of flood victims across Tamil Nadu. You made stories out of the human misery as a breaking news. However, you fail to see the need for relief and rehab in ground zero (real - not the computer generated one ). Wish 'today' 'India' realizes how you galvanize us to things that are important for your well-wishers (advertisers) and movers and shakers (I saw a picture of one such man going by boat in his lungi with a smart phone and another had a miserable sendoff). Since you are failing as a "fourth estate", "fifth estate" we are making our voice heard in the wilderness. You have forgotten...

Chennai rain update 1 AM - 4th Dec: Might be less wet, hope flood waters from rivers don't create havoc!

Chennai @ 1am - 4 Dec: Chennai take some rest! You will have some shower. It will be less intense. None of the models / satellite images suggest heavy down pour for 4 Dec. That’s some good news. But wet days are ahead! So please prepare yourself. May not be a deluge but still wet. The catch is not the down  pour. But South Chennai and suburbs, how will you further manage the flood. Hope there is no more heavy rain in the lakes in Tambaram and Chengalpattu. Hope Pondicherry and Cuddalore survives through. Also, they get some good aid. Chennai admire your spirit. You didn’t grumble. You helped yourself. Build your stock. Stay safe. Help and support. 4 Dec, might be more peaceful, provided the floods don’t cause havoc. Rail and Airports remains closed. Few skeletal rail services operating from Chennai Beach station to other cities in TN and other states.
