I have been trying to read the bible more and studying it.
What God Finds ImportantGod doesn't focus on our outward appearance. It is what's on the inside that matters most to Him. The Bible tells us that God's focus is on developing our inner beauty so that it can be reflected in everything we do and what we are.1 Samuel 16:7 - "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
James 1:23 - "Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror."
Matthew 23:28 - "In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness."
Matthew 7:20 - "Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them."
So, Is it Important to Look Good?Unfortunately we do live in a superficial world where people do judge on appearance. We would all love to say that we are not in the majority, and that we all look beyond what's on the outside, but virtually all of us are influenced by appearances.Yet, we need to keep appearance in perspective. The Bible tells us that it is important to present ourselves as nicely as possible, but God does not call us to go to extremes. It is important that we remain aware of why we do the things we do to look good. Ask yourself two questions:
Does your focus on your appearance take your eyes off the Lord?
Are you more focused on your weight, clothes, or makeup than you are on God?
If you answered, "Yes," to either of the questions then you may need to take a closer look at your priorities. The Bible tells us to look closer at our hearts and actions rather than our presentation and appearance.
Colossians 3:17 - "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
Proverbs 31:30 - "Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting: but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."
There is no definitive physical description of the Apostle Paul in The Bible or historical records. However, some early Christian writings suggest he was short and balding, with a unibrow and crooked legs. These details should be taken as speculative rather than factual.
Some people speculated that Paul was a short man with no outstanding features. Probably plain looking.
In the book called the "Acts of Paul and Thecla", it gives some physical description of Paul. In the 7th sentence, it says that Paul was, "a man short in stature, with a bald head (or shaved head), bowed legs, in good condition (or strongly built), eyebrows that met, a fairly large nose (perhaps crooked), and full of grace." It goes on further and says, "At times he seemed human, at other times he looked like an angel."
Translated by Bart D. Ehrman, and the compared words in () are from the translated version by Jeremiah Jones. See related links below.
Middle Easter with no hair cut or shaving....dark colored middle eastern Egyptian...like the drawings of him but not white.
Jesus was Jewish so his features are believed have been typically Jewish while he was on earth. Most images picture him with a beard and long hair as was the custom at that time.
No one really knows.
In most pictures is is shown to have long hair and a beard.
We will know when We get to Heaven.
Jesus was dark skinned
No, the apostle Paul was not whipped in the same way as Jesus. Jesus was flogged before his crucifixion, while Paul experienced beatings and whippings on separate occasions during his missionary journeys. Both men suffered for their beliefs, but in different circumstances.
It seems like your question is incomplete. Are you asking about the belief that Jesus Christ died for the sins of humanity as written in the teachings of the Apostle Paul in the New Testament of the Bible?
It is estimated that the Apostle Paul traveled over 10,000 miles during his missionary journeys, spreading Christianity throughout Asia Minor, Greece, and Rome. His extensive travels played a significant role in the early spread of Christianity.
There are no known authentic descriptions of Saint Peter's physical appearance. He is often depicted in artwork and tradition as a middle-aged man with a gray beard, wearing robes and a fisherman's hat. It is important to note that these depictions are artistic interpretations rather than historical facts.
Thomas the Apostle is traditionally believed to have been a fisherman before becoming one of the twelve apostles of Jesus.
No, the apostle Paul was not whipped in the same way as Jesus. Jesus was flogged before his crucifixion, while Paul experienced beatings and whippings on separate occasions during his missionary journeys. Both men suffered for their beliefs, but in different circumstances.
Hebrew was not a apostle, the book is actually a Letter by paul to the Hebrew people. So the name, like the Romans.
People say that books state that Paul was a short man with a hooked nose.
Like a Reindeer.
characterization
Islam is a religion. It has no physical appearance.
characterization
The Bible does not describe Thomas, and there is no other reliable information about him. If he was a historical person as described in the gospels, then we can say that he would have been Semitic and would have looked much like the Palestinians or Sephardic Jews of today.
Physical heritage refers to the qualities of a persons physical appearance (what they look like) which were inherited from their blood relatives.
I am a virtual assistant and do not have a physical form, so I do not have a specific physical appearance like a person named Gary.
Physical traits is what they look like + Personality traits is what they act like
They look like men and they are there to look after you and to guide you :D
