yes... the middle east 2000 years ago! from a small town called Nazareth in Galilee. He would have been a capenter for 20 something odd years... a man who worked with his hands. Survived 40 days in the wilderness. a guy who said "Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.". His cousin John the Baptist lived in the wilderness and ATE locust was depicted by the Orthodox church this way

He most likely had a kawa Jew look. When the soldiers went to arrest him, Judas had to identify him for them!

exactly!! He did not look distinct! I think we need to ensure that our kids grow up with a realistic picture of jesus and not what is shown on all those catho ikons and paintings.
For years the image of Jesus that was in my mind was this ( i think I saw it in a calender or poster in my GrandPa's house)

It's sad that the message of Christ is so lost to us that we still depict him in terms of other 'races' and 'physical forms'.

To this I pay my respects to the 'Ja Lejo' for their handsome Melchior Ondeto. But sigh at the long journey to freedom that lies ahead of us.

@Tycho, I think the message of Christ would get better penetration in Africa if we could relate with him graphically. Christianity in Africa is shallow yet wide... perhaps because we psychologically associate Christ with the goodies granting white faced donors. we then focus on what he can do for us and not what his message is. Believe me when I say this... the message of Christ is lost! we rarely read his words but rather we cherry pick the scriptures to find tasty morsels to feed unwitting followers. this is my message - CAN WE FOCUS ON CHRIST? CAN WE LISTEN TO HIS WORDS AS SPOKEN? therein lies the foundation of our faith. the church at antioch was called the "christian" church for a being like christ. Christ centeredness should be our mantra. Just for fun... when praying how do you visualize God? you are talking to someone right? 100% man ans 100% God... how does he look like in your mind? It will be a bit of a struggle visualizing him as realistically depicted but for me - that is the way forward.

So then, if the image of Jesus isn't what we are told then, what of Shetani/Lucifer/Satan, how does he look like and is he presentable in human form?

shetani is not definitely the ugly thing with horns and a tail that is popularly depicted. if I am not wrong that depiction was dome by a guy locked in a cellar waiting to die. check out "Codex Gigas" for more details. The bible says he was "morning star" depending on translation.
