While Cargill agrees that these more recent images of Jesus—including darker, perhaps curlier hair, darker skin and dark eyes—probably come closer to the truth, he stresses that we can never really know exactly what Jesus looked like.
What Do Angels Really Look Like? Scripture doesn’t give any precise descriptions of what angels look like, and they often appear in different forms. We do have clues though, that however they appear they are amazing to behold. Some angels in Scripture appear as normal men, and we...

You know, I understand that Boston is considered one of the really musical cities in this country and I have no doubt it is so. But I do doubt that you could find more than 600 people in this city who would enjoy and be interested in listening to a work like Pierrot Lunaire. I say...
But in Romans 1:3, we really get into the content of the gospel. This gospel concerns “His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection ...
