Jesus's beard...

[Droobie]

What type of beard do you think Jesus had?

[Damien]

I bet he had a sweet beard.

[girl4god]

I agree with Damien. Sweet. He probably had a beard above all beards. :D Definately something to think about. :)

[SenseiPiccolo]

Jesus was a Jew there for he had long hair and a full beard--
but once he accended into Heaven...
then who knows...
^_^

[BuzzBeer]

Hm.......... I'm gonna have to go with "who cares" on this one.

[ZooMom]

Where have I seen or heard that Christ's beard was ripped out by the soldiers who beat Him? I can't find it in the Bible, but I know I've seen that somewhere.

[dinkime]

Jesus had a beard, like most men at His time.

does it make me believe in Him more? no. does it make me believe in Him less? no.

[DeleseRose]

Does it really matter if he had a beard and how long it was??????????? No offence meant, just asking...... :rolleyes:

[Snor Snor]

I think this is just a fun topic :)
Anyway, I put that He had a beard. Probably not what we envision it to be, but He may have!

BTW, that last choice is pretty funny!!!!!

[Hishandmaiden]

This is a funny topic. Haha... I don't know the answer.

[Hishandmaiden]

So I put the funny last choice.

[tyler4588]

I believe Jesus had the "Full beard... ZZ Top/natural look...". He was a practicing Jew, therefore I assume he would look like one.

[renee67]

Hmm...well I never thought about this one before. Kinda fun. I agree with some of the first posters. Whatever kind of beard it was, it was the best ever! As for wether Jesus actually had a beard, or what type it was...that's not relevant to my belief in Him, or my acceptance of Him as my Saviour. YSIC...Lisa Renee

[Kkisjjang]

Beard?? :D oh well.

Jesus had a full beard prior to crucifixion and afterwards he is depicted with no beard.

From the icons of the Early Church this may be observed and also from early Renaissance paintings.

Jan van Eyck's "Adoration of the Mystic Lamb" makes this clear (I am not sure if it is available on the net).

A beard was symbolic of sin and since Jesus carried the sins of his world to the cross he must surely have had a full beard.

[Mendeh]

Of course the real question is, assuming Jesus had a goatee, does he like those cool little black sunglasses and dayglo T-shirts to go with it?

[Julie]

Here's the Scripture no one seems able or cares to find:



Isaiah 50:6
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

Goodness, looks like old Isiah got razor-burn... ;)

[mambutuu]

I think he had big mutton chop sideburns liek a civil war general.

[servingtheking]

i think he proabably had a normal beard just like the other men in that time

[ThienAn]

I'd say that He probably didn't care about shaving, so He had no beard.

[Joyce]

This is not important to me. Men looks at the outside, but God looks at the heart.

[Darwin RULEZ]

Maybe Jesus had a rope like that dude from System of a Down. You never know....... Maybe they just said he had a beard for good PR.

Historians believe that Jesus had short hair.  In one of pauls letters he states that it is wrong for men to wear their hair long and he would not have said that if Jesus had long hair.  That is one of their resons for believing this and I think another is just the customs of that time.  But hey, who knows...

I think Jesus had a full beard.  I dont think he would have cared much about his physical appearance.

God Bless!

What do you mean?  If he didnt care about shaving woudnt that mean that he DID have a beard?

[jko]

trimmed, not too long. and full beard of course ;)

maybe a go tee

[cenimo]

Close to St Louis on the Illinois side, Belleville, Illinois there's a place called Shrine to Our Lady of the Snows.


The Shrine
www.snows.org (http://www.snows.org)

The Shroud Exhibit

http://www.oblatesusa.org/whatsnew/TLPE00101.html

Currently yhey have an exhibit about the Shroud of Turin. After touring the exhibit, there is a slide presentation. Ths slide presentation says that before the Shroud, Jesus was depicted as clean shaven and having shorter hair.

After the images from the Shorud were considered, artists portraying Jesus gave Him the longer hair and beard.

The exhibit is well worth seeing.

:bow: Thank you. I knew that I had read it several times but could never remember where.:sigh: :scratch:

Makes no difference to me at all. I just thank Him and praise Him for saving me.

I think He had a full beard.

[Konnie]

I don't know/care. It's not important to my life.

[Joseph_the_Phoenix]

He could have taken on any form he seen fit - however - to fulfill prophasy - He took on the form of a jew.


Romans 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Hebrews 2:16 For verily he took not on [him the nature of] angels; but he took on [him] the seed of Abraham.
Psalms 104:4 "...Who maketh his angels spirits;..."
Romans 8:3 "...God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:..."
Philippians 2:7 "...took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:..."
Hebrews 2:7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Hebrews 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 7:16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless(akatalutos) life.
Hebrews 7:24 But this [man], because he continueth ever(aion), hath an unchangeable priesthood.
Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Hebrews 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
1Peter 4:17 For the time [is come] that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if [it] first [begin] at us, what shall the end [be] of them that obey not the gospel of God?

[GodBoy809]

i think he had a beard, ZZ Top style!

[Knight]

He probably had a beard of some kind.

Shaving technology 2000 years ago could not have been that good.

[Marinus]

I think he did not have a beard, because I think jews were only allowed to grow a beard after getting married.

Though, if He did, it does not matter

Isaiah 50:6

maybe it was teh Hair on his head in this verse. I know it was considered to be humileating to have your head bare/shaved.

[Tarnaak]

Ya know, I never really thought about it, but all things considered, being with the times, he would probably have a beard.

[Kathy]

Jesus had a full beard,like most men had in those times,when Jesus walked on earth....

[A Taffer]

I think he had a full beard, but who knows? We can ask him when we are with him :)

[Pseud]

LOL!

[guru]

When He went to the cross He didn't have a beard! It was plucked from His face, and you couldn't even recognize His face it was so bloodied!!!!!!!!!!!

[loveHIM_liveHIM]

Jesus had to have had a beard...
He was Jewish; he would have had a full beard and shoulder-lengthish hair (not long, but trimmed to not get in the way of manual labor).

[Echo]

I have no idea. Maybe we should go and see year 25 AD or so and check what the fashion suggested back then :cool:

Echo

[yajyu]

I know what he probably had, but I must admet that i'd like to Jesus in a goatee. He'd look pretty cool.

[Bayhawks83]

[mesue]

I think He had a beard and was most handsome. I can't wait to see Him face to face.

[James Sez]

Jesus had a big long biker beard, as it says in James Sez chapter 5 verse 3

[Codger]

Dear Zoomom,

You may be thinking of the words of Isaiah.

Isaiah 50:6 (NASB)
I gave My back to those who strike Me,
And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard;
I did not cover My face from humiliation and spitting.

Jesus had a beard, but not long hair as it was not the tradition. He was a Nazerine (from this town) but not a Nazerite (Sect) - who did have long hair.

The scriptures also indicate that he was a very plain person - not like the artists images that we see of him today.

Isaiah 53:1-3 (NASB)
Who has believed our message?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

[2] For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot,
And like a root out of parched ground;
He has no stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.
[3] He was despised and forsaken of men,
A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief;
And like one from whom men hide their face,
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.


Larry

[The_Saint]

Bear in mind that the Soul is Eternal and once created, you are in for all eternity! With that in mind, I was alive and well when Jesus walked on the earth. He had a long straight beard, light brown or blondish in color, just like the pictures you see of Him (probably from people who were also on the earth at the same time as Jesus, 2000 years ago).

When I prayed to God for my life at a time when I was working the graveyard shift in this lifetime (because someone was going to kill me) God delivered me from my attacker and in so doing, I saw a mental image of Jesus in my mind and He had a black curly beard. So, I guess Jesus changes His appearance from time to time.

One last thing, God told me that Jesus was supposed to be Nazarite from birth. Nazarite is defined in Numbers 6:1-8 and that means no haircuts, shaving, drinking alcoholic beverages, and no going to funerals. I know because I am Nazarite. So, Jesus wasn't supposed to shave or drink though it is in The Bible that Jesus drank wine though He didn't shave.

[stubbornkelly]

I don't know (although cultural customs of the time would indicate he did have one), and I really don't care. It's of no importance.

[diddymac]

hmm, it doesn't really matter (IMO) whether Jesus had a beard, but I think the last option's funny- i hope whoever picked it wasn't being serious!

[In Eivad]

Well, I think Jesus could change his facial looks if he wanted to.
But why does it really matter, anyway?
Jesus may look quite cool but that isn't what comes into people's mind when they see or hear about him.
:pray:

[Snowy]

I really don't know

[Shekinahs]

Blessings,

Hmmm I really do not know. It may depend on the Jewish culture of the day. I would think a full beard since they did not put razor to face based on their law. Odd, I've never seen a painting with Jesus and a full beard though :scratch:

Somehow I do not see Jesus being concerned enough about facial hair to shave. He had more important things to think about.

~ShekinahMoon~

[Waterhouse]

Funny poll, but not relevant to my belief in Him.

[Gyurkovitz]

I think we can all agree that Christ observed the law (as revealed in scripture, not the gnat straining hypocritical version advocated by the pharisees). That being the case, the following is compelling as it was required of all Israelites.

Leviticus 19: 27 You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard.

Not only did he have a beard, it wasn't neatly trimmed either.

[Dr Kimble]

I'd say since Jesus is a man, then it is most probable that He looked like the common man at the time.

[edited due to a silly question I posted, I really do not know what I was thinking at the time :P ]

who knows, who cares!! It aint much to do with my faith so I choose Don't know

[seibrt7]

Priests were not to shave to the point of ‘creating’ baldness of the head or face. They were not to shave the corners called ‘boarders’ in Hebrew of their beards nor cut their bodies in mourning. YHVH gave men hair on their heads and faces for a reason and it was the ‘boarders’ of this hair line, where the growth line met the skin, that could not be trimmed so close as to destroy the outline of that boarder and have it unrecognizable. The whole head and beard were not to be cut resulting in an unnatural baldness. Doing so ‘desecrated the Name of their Elohim’. The hair always needed to be seen or recognized on the head and face of a priest. Trimming was allowed to keep the hair tidy. Cults were very big on cutting themselves and shaving their heads and beards off, but YHVH says this is not holy and profanes His Name. Today we are a royal priesthood. "Because the priest present the offerings made to YHVH by fire, the food of their God, they are to be holy."

~Personal note: I believe that an electric beard trimmer would be permissable, to keep the beard neatly trimmed, but one should not shave the "outline" or edges by the neckline or cheekbones. Although, traditionally, I've heard Hebrews of the time would only cut the end of the beard straight across when it got too long, giving the beard a squarish appearance. In contrast, Arabs were known to trim their beards in a "U" shape.
~Seibert

[TedMorgan3]

I suspect that he had bad teeth and bad breath. He lived near a Roman city with Greek culture. He might have shaved. He was probably an illiterate Galilean peasant. However, he might well have been literate. However, he might well have spoken Aramaic with a Galilean accent and Koine Greek. He might have read Hebrew.

[Sunset_Sam]

Don't know, Don't Care, Not important in my life, nor does it change my salvation.

[GraceReborn]

This is one of those, "Does it really matter?" kind of polls. What does it change if he was clean shaven, burly, and outcast of ZZ Top, or was sporting a goatee. He was who He was; fashion or appearance makes no difference.

[Glorianna]

Who cares what Jesus looked like? His personality and what he did here on earth are the only things that matter.

[Unique]

Hehe, fun topic. I would have to say a full beard. Though it would be cool if he has a goatee.

[rubberduckie]

yeah, I said it doesn't matter, but I liked the last choice. Blasphemy, lol :)

[TheMainException]

According to the Nazarene vow, he would never have cut his hair.

dosent matter ether way Jesus is Jesus

[zoe_uu]

Don't know/care/not important to my life... But more than likely he did have one.

What i dont get is some people get so angry if u say Jesus isnt black the bible says hes bronze looking like all the other Israelites of that age.

[growingupinhim]

According to the Nazarene vow, he would never have cut his hair.
Correct!

[coolbluefire]

it says in the bible that shaving is bad. therefore jesus probably didn't shave. plus, most wise people have beards. it gives them an air of wisdom.

[openup4christ]

According to the Nazarene vow, he would never have cut his hair.Who says that jesus took the Nazarene vow that means he couldnt touch anything unclean did he not thouch a leper. Jesus is arealy holy and didnt have to Take that vow to prove anything.

[Ants]

Jesus had a bikie beard. so cool.

[LadyBird]

I always think of Jesus to have a long beard, well not REALLY long...like not down to his chest or anything, but quite long.

[Goat Girl]

It doesn't matter to my being saved if Jesus had a beard or not. The Bible is a book to our salvation and so they didn't put all the little details in it because it doesn't matter. Someday in heaven I'll find out, but I don't believe it right to do the guessing now.

Probably the ZZtop thing because of the Jewish ways and all. It doesn't really matter you guys are right but isn't it nice to think about how our Savior looks? I can't wait to see Him in Heaven!!!

[Michael713]

without Him telling us, there's no way to tell, but i think he had a full beard.

He grew up poor right? He was a humble man right?
I think his appearence paled in comparison to his mission, it was probably the least of his concerns. Then again maybe it was.

[Faith In God]

Does it matter??? come on! What would the purpose of this thinking be? painting a picture in your mind? We don't know what Jesus looks like, so why go round with an imagined image of Him?? sheesh

He probably had the same sort of beard that other Jewish men had at that time.

[Moros]

He had one.

well,i think Jesus had a beard but what color or how long..who knows?:D

[Angeldove97]

he probably had a beard.... but what does it matter? it's like how people debate over his skincolor!?! IT DOESN"T MATTER!!! BLAH

[Neal]

I'm gonna say alllll out. I mean, I don't know the genetics and all of Jesus' physical heritage, but He probably didn't need to shave it or anything. So it was probably all scraggly-like.

& uh, in the scriptures, he was ordinary. his looks were average average average.. he did NOTHING to himself to stand out... John the Baptist, tho, uhm, underdressed & ate grasshoppers. now THAT is standing out..

so did he bathe? yes, i think Jesus did. did he dress daily? yes, i think he did--except for the time he was in the desert fasting...

just my penny's worth...

[Evie]

these are really great questions.My husband and I read some time back that (somewhere in the Bible) I'm not sure where it is now, that Jesus was nothing to look upon. Meaning He was not so handsome. Yet,He is still my BEAUTIFUL savior!!!:clap:

[jcright]

Is there biblical evidence to speculate one way or the other?

[Jedi christian]

I have seen no biblical evidence to support or disprove Jesus having a beard. I chose not important to my life.
- He was a middle-eastern person, and a lot of them had beards, so he probably had one.
- I doubt he found time to shave while on the road all the time.
- While we're on the whole middle-east subject: I hate all these christian depictions of christ being caucasion (sp?) because he was from the middle east and they are mostly tan skined! I'm sorry, but jesus was not a white american prejudice kkk member!

[Godjunkie]

I'm going to say that even though it doesn't matter, I sure think that the "sweet beard" idea posted in the first message sounds great. Not only was Jesus probably not able to shave on the road and living in a beard-oriented culture, but he was also a carpenter and Bob Vila and Norm Abram both have beards.

Beard or no beard though, I'm sure glad he came and I love him like crazy.

[chris714ndud3]

don't care...

[SmEaGoL!]

small one...

[JaneKaty13]

There's a priest at my church, Father Perri, and ever since he came to our church, I have thought he looks the way I'd picture Jesus, tall and strong, Italian looking with small facial features and loving eyes. Father Perri had a moustache and a goatee.

what an odd poll! :scratch: (but funny).

would it have mattered if he had a beard or not? ^_^

[Vasya Davidovich]

According to my tradition, Jesus Christ's beard was full (he did not shave) but thin, with a thin mustache. FYI.

I doubt this question is important for one's salvation, although the implications to this question are interesting and those may have an impact on one's salvation.
1) Is your Jesus a racially-bound one (ie. is He Germanic with a full, thick mustache and beard and blue eyes - think 19th century devotional art - or is He black - as in Ethiopic art)?
2) Does your Jesus follow a tradition, any tradition, and what does that say about you? Are you someone who avoids traditions yet fall into one here? Are you a Christian that belongs to a Tradition of some kind (whether Catholic, Baptist, Calvinist, Orthodox, or whatever) yet find yourself holding to another Traditions's image of Christ?
3) Should you be following a tradition or Tradition at all? ... given your beliefs, given your understanding of the Bible.
4) Should you be putting an image to Christ? ... given your beliefs, given your understanding of the Bible.

[Yamialpha]

I suppose I will find out when I meet him :).

[meebs]

I think that by the sound of him, appearances wouldnt have been his priority, however, it makes you wonder if he shaved or kept his beard neat now and then. Doesnt seem to mention much about how he lived his personal life in the bible - just his teachings.

Nothing like: Thou shall keep your beard neat and tidy or thou shalt brush your teeth twice a day....:D

[GodFlute2]

I don't really care. It doesn't mean all that much to me.

[Mashley]

I'd like to know what he looked/looks like, but I don't sit around wondering what type of beard he has.:confused:

MY OPINION Blasphemy! How dare you discuss our Saviour's facial hair! lol!!!

deffinately full beard! lol

full beard, they dint shave back then

I do care what kind of beard my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ had since it was plucked out by the roots during His crucifiction!!! That being said I think it does matter a great deal!!!

Isaiah 50:6 (New King James Version)

I gave My back to those who struck Me,
And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.

[brinny]

He had a beard that Jewish men wore in that day.

[Waylon]

I bet if he were walking around on the earth today he would sport a chinstrap...I wish I could grow one of those. The last pole option is pretty funny.

[bill16652]

dont matter

[rachewil15]

I'm gonna go with the full beard. That's how they portray Him in pics and stuff.

[die2live]

I'm sure he had a beard, because most every man did at the time, but really come on . . . who cares and why does it matter?

[AliveInChrist]

I imagine He had a short, clean beard and shoulder-length, wavy hair.

I love this painting of Him, because He looks so gentle.
http://www.letsdiscussjesus.org/jesus_with_kid.jpg :)

Quite honestly, I don't really care what kind of beard Jesus had, although I'm sure it was really chill :cool:.

I did put "do not care" vote, but I'm sure he had a fine beard. ;)

[ysl_75]

What type of beard do you think Jesus had?
I think He look fine and maybe is without beard because He is the Son of God ...:)

[bryno]

Aint he flowing a glorious white one now? or that be His father, maybe the both have beards and compliment each other subliminally

[Lithium Hobo]

He probably had the ZZ Top type beard. He was a good Jewish male, and that facial hair type was the style.

[Neenie]

^ lol

[Lycana]

Yeah I agree, he had the "natural" look :)

[Tanyalita]

Just a natural beard.

[LadyCoyote_Fin]

Jesus had a beard, like most men at His time.

does it make me believe in Him more? no. does it make me believe in Him less? no.

I agree! :thumbsup:

LC :angel:

[L.A.W.]

Jesus had a short beard that is one inch from the skin. The color of his beard is the color of chestnut like his hair. The beard at the chin forks, so it has two points sticking downwardly.

[jesusfreak22]

he had one if he felt like it!

[diamond717]

I believe if he had a beard, it was trimmed very short. :)

[PaladinGirl]

I don't know but why does it matter? Jesus' beard has nothing to do with the fact that He is both God and man and that He is also the Savior of the world!

[Buccaneer]

He had a full beard.
He perfectly obeyed the Torah Law in accordance with prophesy.
Lev 19 states "do not round the corners of your heads nor mar the corners of your beard."

[kimthi]

it doesnt really matter

[Carl Rapel]

bucanneer is right.. they couldnt shave back then... but so is kithmi... it really isnt important. but a gotee would've been coolyo!

[apricot]

I believe he had a short beard, but that is just me. Your poll didn't provide for that answer.

[DanielJamesSimon]

Don't know, or care, but I'd be pretty sure it was whatever the Jews wore in those times.

[reformedfan]

What a funny question:D

[bill'swife]

If they had showed them pulling out his beard with big hunks of flesh at the roots in the movie "The Passion of the Christ" then I'm sure we'd have some different views on this subject.

[lawtonfogle]

let me think:scratch:

aha:idea:

he probally had a beard like all the other men of his day

[88Devin07]

I read somewhere that he had a beard that split down in the bottom of his chin like a fork. I dunno if this was the tradition for Nazarines like long hair but I read somewhere (from an "eyewitness" account that may not be accurate or true) that this was the case.

He was undistinquishable from the other disciples so most likely he had a beard.

[purpleunicorn_Andi]

He could have been bald, and still I would follow

[Woody]

A big one!! That the kind/nice old men have! not that Jesus was old....

[maylu_roll]

A big hairy beard!!!

[handmaiden97]

guess Im bored cause Im voting in old polls.....who knows maybe a fun new conversation will arise.....as fas a Jesus' beard is concenrend I know he had one, as it was plucked out durring the trials...but I real never have given it considerable thought

[Stacey]

Not relvent to anything! But.. none of the above! He'd have a full beard but not full ZZ-top style concidering he was in his thirties... I know it was wicked awesome whatever it was :)

[BonnieBee]

It doesn't matter to me if he had a beard or not. It isn't something we need to debate about, when there are more important matters we could be learning about

[charvel]

a beard poll on Jesus...things are getting tight

[Oblivious]

A full beard would be my guess...

[Bachi234]

I really don't know, never thought about it...

[firestar]

Probably a full one

[plum]

He, being a traditional Jewish Rabbi, would have had a beard. But it doesn't affect my faith ;)

[krys4ever]

Jesus' beard has nothing to do with my life.

[RyanJoseph]

Anyones guess!! haha...really don't know.

[T3mpt3d]

Shaving during Christ's time wasn't the most popular thing to do, unless one went to a barber or had their own barber for a servant. I don't believe Jesus would have had a servant and I don't imagine He would have gone to a barber to sit alongside nobles who discussed their nights of debauchery while getting a shave. Also, shaving would have been seen as a sign of vanity among the lesser classes.

Full beard, probably combed.

[Kirkhaven]

Jesus would have followed the levitical law concerning growing a beard, though we often characterize him with a well trimmed beard. In truth, it doesn't bother me one way or the other, but this does raise an interesting question about just how long it might have been.

[NostalgicGranny]

[JeyJack]

I think he has full beard,but I don't care whatever was his beard, he rox :D
