Dinosaur' image u see in videos. who gave u that image. in your mind u think that is how exactly dinosaur look like. even dragon was a myth but still image was given to it. does that mean that is how it's look like. most image u see were imaginary image or doctored.

So how can Jesus' image be found some 200 years after him when there was no photographers in his time neither was he a world class celebrity that artists of his time may think of his image to make money?

Ọmọ lies are easy to detect if you want to stick to the side of truth. smiley
3rd century AD is actually a year before the birth of Christ. Christ is believed to be born during the 4th century AD, so if that guy claims that the image dates back to 3rd century AD the it's impossible for that to be the image of Jesus.

The image of Muhammad doesn't exist and hasn't been found in any ruins to best of my knowledge.

The oldest known depictions of Jesus, dating back to around the 3rd century AD, were found in the ruins of the ancient city of Dura-Europos, located on the Euphrates River near the border between Syria and Iraq.

Go research am well.
Oga 3rd century AD is a year before the birth of Christ. So how did they get the image of a man that has not yet been born?

It is not biblical but it shows respect. An example is when you are wear a cap you tend to remove it while you greet an elder not to talk about He who made the universe

I hope you get the point now grin
If to remove cap show respect for God , the same should go for women too, women should show respect for God by removing their head tie
But the bottom line is God look to the heart and not to your outward religious pious looks
But this is not an excuse for any born again Christian to go about looking like area boys

They didn't say it was exactly 3rd century AD.

It was "around 3rd century"....

At least you should know the meaning of "around".

You think they are lies! They'll also think you're ignorant! Archeology is a field that also relies on fact and proofs.

You don't need photography to get an image. Even in the coin spent during Jesus's time had the image of Caesar on it.
because Cesar was a powerful political figure who elevated himself to almost god status and had temples to his name. He was the emperor of Rome and all it's colonies so yes he will have an image of himself just like every other political figure of renowned of that time.

Christ was a common folk, he wasn't a political figure nor an emperor, neither did he have the power or money to hire a sculpture to sculpt his image. Even if he did, he would never allow it.

Jesus didn't wear cap because he had long hair according to those artist's pictures!

Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:7 talk say: A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

Abeg o! But why the small cap for bishops and Pope?

Bob Marley and the likes no dey wear cap?

No!

1, BUT IT'S BIBLICAL FOR WOMEN TO COVER THEIR HAIR ESPECIALLY IN CHURCH AND WHY PRAYING... na why God no dey answer una prayers...

2, IT IS BIBLICAL FOR WOMEN NOT TO STAND ON THE PULPIT TO PREACH IN CHURCH. THEY ARE EXPECTED TO KEEP QUIET AND IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THEY SHOULD ASK THEIR HUSBAND WHEN THEY GET HOME...


Unfortunately, this is a generation of HYPOCRITES AND SHAMELESS WHORÈS...

You see them today not obeying BIBLE clear laws and doing what pleases them.


According to 1st Corinthians...



Read same 1Corinthians 11, V4 and 7

Your biblical Christ wasn't a common man! In Matthew when he died many dead arose! So why can't those who him carve his image?

It's a sign of respect and not a sin. OK
YES so if anyone enters our place of worship with his cap nobody will ask him to remove it it's only those recognizing the presence of our king that remove their caps! smiley

Cap is a symbol of authority and inside the Church the authority is the Priest so to distinguish the Priests from other worshippers you look at the cap.

I would like to know what JW teaches about speaking in tongues.
I go to some churches today they say once they pray for me I'll speak in tongues
In the first century Jehovah made Jews who became born again Christians to speak in different languages this shows that what Jesus commanded them {Matthew 28:18-20} not that they must continue doing so after they are able to reach all the nations.
Today Jehovah's Witnesses have reached all the countries of the earth so there is no language you speak that you won't find a JW to preach and teach what Jesus taught.
That's the import of speaking in tongues not some random jargons all just for self edification.

Wearing cap in church is not sin. What makes man unclean are malice, backbiting, unforgiveness, stealing, murder, adultery, fornication, cheating, evil thoughts etc

It's not even biblical for Christian-men or Christians generally to be "in a church" as it's being practiced by "religious" christians.

OK it's now into the second page so let me enlighten interested ones!

Christianity has to do with a chosen King who is Christ the Lord so anytime we are inside the spiritual temple we must all remove any covering on our heads before our King Christ Jesus. Revelations 4:9-11 compare to Ezekiel 21:26
Paul emphasized this when writing to Christians in Corinth telling them that the HEAD of the woman is her husband so he has the right to take of whatever she has on her head, the HEAD of every man is Christ Jesus so we must respect our King by removing any covering on our head and Christ also has a HEAD which is the Almighty God. 1Corinthans 11:3
@ bolded, in other words Christ is not the same as Almighty God? God is the greater entity? Therefore Trinity is falsehood?

What's a scripture according to you?

And why are all the other 11 disciples' personal suggestions not included as scripture in the Bible?

What do you think about 2 Timothy 3:16?

The Bible was written by men inspired by God.

The purpose of scripture is to reveal Jesus Christ to the world.

Apostle Paul wrote to the church under the instruction of God.

In some cases, he had to deal with peculiar cases of some of the early church and gave them wisdom on how to handle the case.
But he clearly stated that was his personal opinion on the matter.
There are many instances in the Bible where we can learn from the wisdom or the mistakes of Bible characters

Jesus told one of his disciples:

“Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.’” John 20:17

Please who is the God Jesus was referring to as the God and father of all? undecided

2 Corinthians 13:1 "In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established."

It is difficult to conclude on this cap issue using only the writings of Paul the apostle. Paul is just one witness.

Guy man..
There's no known depiction of Jesus Christ anywhere..
He was a jew, born in Bethlehem in Judea.
He would have looked like another other Jew in his time 2000 years ago. Brown coppery skin, flat nose,Thick wavy hair and beaded.
Not the one the White people depicted in their paintings and figurines during the Renaissance period.
Jesus wasn't a Caucasian.
He certainly didn't have pale skin and pointy nose. His eyes weren't blue.His hair wasn't long and straight like a woman.
He would have certainly be bearded and not smooth shaved as depicted.
And most importantly..he would have been married at 33. Jewish custom expressly forbade a man at that age to be single.
Sometimes..common sense is required when delving into stuff like this

The question of whether it’s biblical for men not to wear a cap (or head covering) in church likely stems from 1 Corinthians 11:4-7 in the New Testament, where Paul writes:"Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head. A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man." (NIV)In this age, Paul instructs that men should not cover their heads during worship (praying or prophesying), as it dishonors their "head," which some interpret as Christ or their spiritual authority. This contrasts with women, whom he instructs to cover their heads. The reasoning ties into cultural and theological ideas of the time—men reflecting God’s glory directly, while women reflect man’s glory.However, context matters. In 1st-century Corinth, head coverings carried cultural significance. For men, uncovering the head may have distinguished Christian practice from certain pagan or Jewish customs where head coverings were common. For women, covering the head was tied to modesty and social norms. Scholars debate whether Paul’s instructions were universal or specific to that culture. Elsewhere, the Bible doesn’t broadly mandate headgear rules for men in worship settings—Old Testament priests, for example, wore head coverings (Exodus 28:40-41), but that was ceremonial, not general practice.Today, many Christian denominations see this as a contextual issue, not a binding rule. Most don’t require men to go bareheaded in church, nor do they forbid it—practicality and personal choice often prevail unless a specific tradition (like some Orthodox or Messianic Jewish groups) emphasizes otherwise.So, is it biblical? Based on 1 Corinthians 11, yes, there’s a case for men not wearing caps in church during worship. But it’s not an absolute command across all scripture or universally enforced today—it’s more of a situational teaching than a core doctrine.
