Biblical evidence is the most reliable testimony to be found on this question, and a recent careful review of what it says indicates that Jesus did indeed have a beard.

Hold on, where in the Bible can you find this information? Book, chapter and verse please...?

St George of England

This is from "The truth shall make you free" (1943). Adam clean shaven and a neat parting, Eve a nice cute, perky blonde.

As for the poor old serpent......

pixel,

The verse they're referring to is Isaiah 50:6. Notably in the 1950s article they argued this scripture did not prove Jesus had a beard, and then used it in the 1960s article as evidence he did.

I haven't got access to the WT library on this computer, but I seem to recall they also criticised the 'so-called archaeological evidence' Jesus didn't have a beard in the 1960s article, without noting that they themselves had used that evidence to back up their claim Jesus didn't have a beard in the 1950s.

Is anyone able to post the full articles?

wha happened?

I remember looking at some of the older publications of the beardless Jesus. It was explained that some artifact was found showing Jesus and the apostles without a beard. Later refuted as pagan. Who really knows

I wonder if that picture st George started knorr on his no masterbation kick lol.

Just to clarify I am not saying which one Adam or eve might have got him all hot and bothered.

Band on the Run

Oh, yes. No beard. No way. In fact, they relied upon an ancient chalice. It is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art or was part of a visiting exhibition. The entire family had to go to an art museum for the first time. I was terrified of chalices b/c of the Roman Catholic bigotry. It was relatively small. Jesus is clean shaven.

If I recall correctly, an earlier chalice was discovered. Most chalices from the same time period show Jesus iwth a beard. I almost passed out when they said they made a mistake. New light. Of course, who cares if Jesus' face was clean shaven or not. It is the same as cross vs. stake.

I was terrified we were commiting idolatry with the chalice merely by looking at it. We all lived.

Band on the Run

Oh, when I was a teenager I bought a hippie poster in Greenwich Village. I spent my own money from work. It was social commentary. A 60s hippie attends a suburban church and is utterly bored. Years passed. One day the poster was missing so I immediately suspected my mom. "What did you do with my hippie poster?" "What hippie poster?" "You know what hippie poster. The thing has been on my walls for years and now it is missing. You have gone too far this time." "Oh, Band, do you mean your Jesus poster." "I don't have any Jesus poster. It is a poster of a hippie in a suburban church." "That is a poster of Jesus visiting a modern church." "No, it is not. You are a fool." Suddenly, something clicks in my brain. "Oh, I'm sorry I trulyl thought it was just a generic hippie."

Not only is Jesus clean shaven, but the pictures of him on the steak there isn't a crown of thorns nor the pierced side
