However I'm satisfied to believe, in the Kingdom His beauty will be far surpassing what He looked like on this earth. "Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him."

Members phkrause Posted November 26, 2013 Members Share Posted November 26, 2013 I didn't realize Jesus was European. He's not!! Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true below, what racist remark can we make now and still consider our self a member of the body of Christ. "For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise."Galatians 3:27-29 NASB God cares!/Jesus saves! Quote Lift Jesus up!!

Members phkrause Posted November 28, 2013 Members Share Posted November 28, 2013 Exactly, good question Lazarus, trying to figure that out myself still.

Windsor Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 How can we say for sure what an ethnic Jew looked like 2000 years ago? There have been so many civilizations moving through Palestine since that time. Greeks, Romans, Arabs, etc. There is even evidence that Egyptian King Tut most closely shares DNA with Europeans. In the Maccabees, the Spartans are said to be relatives of the Jews. The brother of Jacob is said to have red hair. Quote Remember Adventists Online?

I haven't done much investigating in regards to the subject but I wanted to get some of you guys imputs. http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?read=167594 Here is what the Ellen White Estate has to say about the photo in question. We have no record from Mrs. White herself of her opinion of the picture. But others recorded having heard her express herself about it. Here's what the White Estate has in its files regarding the picture of Christ under discussion: Letter written by Mrs. Abbie Kellogg Norton, March 19, 1935: "I well recall seeing Brother and Sister White coming to our home many times when I was a child-probably in 1878-79 or 1880-81-and Sister White never failed to comment upon the picture and its likeness to the Saviour as she had seen Him in visions. I think her exact words were, 'Yes, yes, it looks as I've seen our Saviour in vision--it's more nearly a likeness than anything I have ever seen.' Of course it made a great impression on us all." Letter by W. C. White to Fred Harvey, April 25, 1935: "I have heard my mother say something about this picture corresponding with what you have written. I think that what you have written is a little more emphatic than what I have heard, but I know she considered it the most nearly correct of any picture she had seen."

The EGW Estate sent me a copy of the Sartain version when I asked them about it. http://prints.encore-editions.com/0/500/...rtain-phila.jpg Quote Remember Adventists Online?
