Him alright; crowds of the lay dees !!




There is something in the OT that gives us a clue of Christ's physical appearance, from the prophet Isaiah:

Isaiah 53:1-3
Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Too bad their wasn't camera's back then.

I find it difficult to put my faith into any politician. It's by their acts that you shall know them.

Sorry dear that line leaves a stench in the air, the innuendo doesn't set right with me, but to each her own...no one can say you don't love your God!

Yeah...I hear you on that...but since McCain is in league with the devil, I figured it might be good to put America's only *real* choice, Obama, in a more positive light.

well, I shouldn't say the *only* real choice, since there are independent candidates...but the masses won't vote for an independent candidate because that is wayyy too far outside their comfort zone...

haha...it seems many people think so...

or should I say...*believe*...

I am an independent...after the last two elections I am more than aware of the value of ONE SINGLE VOTE! I have looked at everybody and frankly I DO believe, albeit with a grain of salt and a jaundice eye; that Obama/Biden can actually accomplish 50% of what they desire to change with US Policies. Now I figure since I am a cautious optimistic, I will take 25% and call it a great day in history!
