That is merely a human painting of a vision. it’s nothing more. It proves nothing.

It does not change the truth that Christ’s Body, once raised from the dead, does not and cannot change.
 
My point being, that is as close as I have heard someone get in describing what JESUS looks like. I am a visual and spatial learner at times. This image helps. My “case closed” comment was an attempt at humor. Furthermore Christ has a glorified body. I have never said contrary. I also uploaded the image to perhaps bring some peace to this discussion.

If the art helps you, that’s great.

I just hope you understand that the image is just someone’s vision. It is not (because it was not meant to be) an actual portrait of what Christ looked like on earth and what he actually (literally) looks like now.

Again, if the art helps you, wonderful. Just keep it in perspective.
 
Thank you. I am well aware that St. Faustina said something to the effect that the image did not come close to how beautiful Jesus actually is.
 
I say this again, which is as clear as the setting sun.

And I am done here.

Revelation 1:12-18
“And I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands; and in the middle of the lampstands one like the Son of Man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His breast with a golden girdle. And His head and His hair were white like wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire; and His feet were like burnished bronze, when it had been caused to glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters. And in His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as a dead man. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying, 'Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.”

The different scenerios prove that Jesus indeed can appear in different appearances.

No. They only prove that the disciples did not recognize Him—not that He took on a new body.

The Incarnation was permanent. The Divine and the Human became united in one single person, one hypostatic union. Once united, inseparable forever.

To say, or even imply, that Christ can discard that Incarnate body and take on a different body—which is what you keep saying, is to deny the Incarnation.

I said that He can change His appearance if He wants to.

And to say that is to deny the Incarnation—because it denies that the Incarnation was a once-for-all-time event.
And I have supported that with references from the Bible.

You have done no such thing.
The disciples did not recognize him. That’s not the same thing as saying that he changed.
That makes lots of difference. Shame on you.

No. Not even close.
 
You picked out my post to the OP which you rebut. Of course you can do that, it is a public forum.

So I asked for reference.

But what did you do? Instead of answering, you replied with a rather sarcastic remark, am I kidding?

I normally am respectful in my posts but my weakness is I tend to reply in kind. Instead of answering my post directly, you talk about something else which is not relevant. I only said that Jesus can change His appearance according to how He wants people to see him. I provided the example from Luke, John and Revelation.

Then you accused me of denying the resurrection and incarnation. This is a lie because I am no such thing. It is disgusting because it is so indigenous.

What about about Our Blessed Mother’s glorified body? She appeared as an Aztec woman to St. Juan Diego

I thought that was the case. Same body doesn’t apply to her?

She appeared in a vision.

That’s not the same thing as actually having a different body.

Of course, she has one body; and from the moment of the Assumption, that one body is forever for all eternity.
 
If he would want them to appear - yes.

If not - no.

Remember the resurrected and glorified Body is - well not what your used to!
