I was a super shy, akward, highly intoverted & sensitive child but @5 yrs old felt compelled to blurt out in church (w/ a military strict kinda dad/mom present) that Jesus was not like what the preacher described. Everyone was in shock when the preacher laughed & asked how he really was. I then fluidly explained that he was very loving, funny & a good friend, kind, helpful, NOT how he had described as: serious, loud, preachy, & judgmental! He definitely did not come here to punish us....but instead taught love. The entire church laughed @ me & asked how I knew that was he my friend or something? I replied "yes he is!" They said that wasn't possible b/c he was dead before I was born, laughed @ me again, then made me sit back down & be quiet while the preacher started speaking in tongues. p.s. I called him "creature" not "preacher" @ 5yrs old b/c turns out he was also a child predator who zeroed on quiet kids like me (big surprise) even while his wife who was a Sunday school teacher present! ...but that's another story for another day...
I didn't know about past lives then but I literally knew that I knew him & talked to him in my head all of the time. He was probably the reason for my 1x only outburst && lesson to never ever question what they say in church! The funny side of Jesus is what always stuck w/ me & I became a self proclaimed stand up comedy connoisseur & amateur performer in my own home w/ my family even watching comedians to get through my darkest of days & to raise my vibrations. George Carlin is for sure on top favorites! His quote "don't pet the sweaty & don't sweat the petty things" is our family motto. 👍 Another favorite is Mitch Hedberg: everything he said was beautiful & poetically spoken. I feel like Jesus would be the one telling ppl to loosen up a lil & cracking lil jokes to make ppl feel more comfortable. 😆 He DEFINITELY would be busting up at some comical spoofs of him for sure! 😂👍
I originally was drawn to your channel b/c the way you described him was most fitting to how I've seen/talked to him my entire life.
I haven't had a regression or anything so I don't even know how I knew him. I could have been a lepor he helped, a prostiute (I kinda think I was), or a little child he let come forward (that one resonates too b/c I love taking care of kids & have 5 myself that are my everything. Kids are the ultimate free loving-non judgmental/jaded- open minded beautiful souls like Jesus & that's why he said we need to be more like them but even if I was his personal friend & sat at his table, I know 1 thing to be true...that it would NOT matter who I was he would NOT have treated me any different! I know that w/ every drop of my being...but don't know why.
**I also have 2 awesome stories about "my buddy" as I've also called him my whole life too! (This is long already & I apologiz but maybe our buddy really wanted me to tell say all of this?!
*As far as the pic I feel like he can appear as you'd know him the most to make you feel more comfortable b/c you relate more to it. I took care of my mom at the end & she wanted to update her standard commercialized white Jesus pic w/ one that she felt looked more like him so she could just stare at it across the wall from her all the time to comfort her during the transition.We looked up pics online & she didn't know which to pick so I said "go w/ your gut mom...you already know in your ❤️" it was a cool one w/ him reaching out for her to take her to the other side...& he did!
*My son also saw a visual of him after surgery for his c. p. @4yrs.old but didn't know who it was at the time. He kept saying "who's that dude over there" pointing to the same spot but I saw no one. I waved & said hi anyway. I kinda thought it was the morphine talking honestly....but weeks later when he wasn't on any meds. he saw a pic of my mom's Jesus on the wall & asked who that "was he an uncle or something" b/c there was lots of pics of me 7 siblings & me on the walls. Then told me that "that's the guy who was right by my bed the whole time!"...out of mouths of babes" Bam! Mike Drop moment! 🎤🤯😲👍
p. s. To anyone who actually took the hour to read all of that☝️ You deserve a ⭐ & 🙌👍 If it resonates w/ even 1 person...then it was worth all of this typing w/ my chunky thumbs on my broken lil vintage android. 😂💚✨🌈
I read it to the end. Thank ou for sharing.
Tks for yr sharing !
Hi Alicia. I just loved your testimony. I absolutely believe this. Thank you. Be blessed. Anka
I loved your story. Thank you for sharing. Love and light to you and yours.
Thank you for taking the time to write your life experiences. You are blessed indeed. I can’t replicate any of these incidences you testify to, but I know in my heart that you are a beautiful soul.
A long time ago. My mother said "If you want to find Jesus, you find in your own heart" ❣
Thanks Mom
I've known since I was born that organized religion was a scam and the government was/is corrupt. I walked away from Catholic School in 3rd grade and refused to go back. I am nearing 70 now and here you are. I am finally learning the truth of Jesus etc from you. Thank you. It feels authentic and brings me peace. And your painting is stunning.
SAME FEELING here about organized religion and it was odd because when I was a kid I could feel something was off about it. Never truly getting into it all the way but finding LOVE only and the inspired word ONLY in the bible :)
Not controversial. The strong features and eyes remind me of the painting by that little girl, Akiane. Her Prince of Peace. Well, she's grown now. Thanks for sharing. Bless.
The eyes resemble that of the painting done by Akiane. John, tks for yr sharing.
Just 5 minutes ago I saw Akiane's painting online. I have that picture in my living room, just a small one.
I've have the " school picture" size in my purse. In her picture I like the green eyes.
Hi John, I won’t argue with you, I’ve seen him recently during one of my meditations and I described him to my dear friend Aileen who is so liked minded and completely believed me. Your picture is the man that I saw. He was indeed of darker skim, the look of an Arab, with the straightest narrow nose I’ve ever seen. That experience was the most wonderful moment of my life. I’m a changed person because of that experience. God bless you John ❤
First I would love to meet you John. I am baptized as a Sikh. Since returning from 26 months in Punjab, living in a Gurdwara, I have been going to a Christian church. I found the people to be loving and they do a great deal of service, food pantry, homeless, etc. I love to volunteer. I went to some of their meetings. I would listen to the pastors/speakers and look for commonalities amongst the paths. Sometimes, the pastor would be heading into what felt true to me and then suddenly go off track, when interpreting the Bible. I won't say more on this forum. If the life makes the opportunity for us to meet, it would be lovely to go further. Your videos have helped me sort out my love of Jesus, yet not being able to be a "Christian". I thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏
Evan as a child, I felt the pictures of him were someone’s idea of what he looked like, not a true image. After all he was from the Middle East, why was he depicted as white? It never made sense to me. Your painting is what I would expect him to look like. Thank you for sharing. 💖💚
thank you--J
Oh my goodness! Your memory recalls so much. No wonder you paved the way and share so much Light, dear John. At 34, the veil have fallen and I'm so blessed and grateful to finally become one with you all. May Love, Peace and Light be with us all. 🌻🙏🎶✨️😆
What a beautiful portrait, the empathy in his blue eyes is what most strikes me.
I love seeing this photo of Jesus. Thank you.
I’m so happy I found your site. I’m looking forward to all you have to share with us. There is no accident in the timing that I have found you here today. (Thanks to Kim!)
Glad you found me--John
Beautiful heartfelt sharing - your words, your story, your beautiful picture and your beautiful energy. I LOVED your son's revelation....so simple, so beautiful too! Blessings & Peace dear one!
Thank you sharing the painting of your beautiful friend 🙏
Beautiful painting - thank you for your words and for sharing your talent.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful painting! It doesn't matter to me what he looked like, but that he lived. ❤
My thoughts exactly
He was a handsome dude all the same, though! 🙂 Interestingly, I had a close friend - a theologian - whose character had a lot in common with your description of Jeshua. His eyes were very similar to Jeshua's, too, as depicted in your painting, except that they were usually joyful, in spite of the many challenges he faced while on Earth. @@johnofnew
In the Summer of 1957, I begged my Mother to let me take art classes. I was between 3rd and 4th grades. We were in Constantia, NY on the North side of the Lake. My Dad did construction work and we were prone to have to move our trailer to a new job site on a moments notice, so Mom didn't usually encourage me to get into any long term activities. However, she heard of a lady artist that was giving art classes for kids over the summer and she signed me up. The first class was sort of a test to see if we had any talent worth encouraging. She gave us water colors, a brush and a piece of paper and told us to paint something! This was a shock for me as I knew very little about painting. I had had only the very basic 2nd grade art experience and that was why I knew I needed more knowledge. Apparently Mom had told her that we lived in a trailer, so her expectations for me were nil. So I prayed about what I should paint. And this was my introduction to automatic painting although I didn't have a name for it until many years later. The painting soon developed into a picture of Jesus on the cross, from a distance. It took me the whole hour to get the picture so that it was recognizable. I got it all except for the face of Jesus. The teacher was not at all happy with the subject mater "I had chosen", and was not open to any discussion about it! There were several in the class who were much more advanced than my self, but some others who fortunately needed an extra day to finish their paintings, also. I wanted to take it home to work on it, but she said "NO, all work stays with me." So, I went home and prayed about how to finish the painting. For the next class I got the supplies set up ready to finish, but still had no idea about what the face of Jesus looked like. I did what I now know as baby-steps: get everything ready, get comfortable, take some deep breaths, close your eyes and choose a brush (it was a very tiny one), chose a color (it was black), approach the paper and at that point I lost control of the brush! I thought for sure I had messed up the painting! (I had never experienced anything like this before.) I immediately began to cry (which I have always done very easily) and this seemed to make the teacher even more upset with me. She asked me if I was done yet. I looked at the painting for the first time and was shocked to see the face of Jesus as I had never seen him depicted before, yet I knew immediately that it was him. His eyes and his mouth were wide with pain, disappointment, confusion. and concern for me. And he was looking right at me (or the viewer). Even though the painting was of an event from a distance, which would have called for a much smaller blurry face image, this face was clear and distinct, yet it did not look distorted or too big. I was shocked to see it and said "I guess I am". These few seconds are all I ever saw of the finished painting. She snatched it up and took it to the "clothes line" where she hung art work to dry. When Mom came to pick me up, I once again tried to take the picture home with me, but again the teacher wouldn't allow it. Before the next class, we moved out of the area! I have no idea what became of the picture and I never saw another depiction of "Christ" that was like mine......until I "happened upon" one of your videos and there he was looking over your shoulder! Of course I ordered a copy and after all these years of wondering, I finally have an end to that mystery ... I think.... unless my painting shows up someplace! Yes, it is true, that is what he looked like on the cross!
Absolutely Beautiful ! thank you for sharing your experience and the real Jeshua with us John. 😁🥰And this message of love and what we are all capable of too is so inspiring and heart warming. 😁🥰🌻 I will definitly start working on removing more of my fears and beginning a 'sit in love' practice. I am so happy and grateful I've been led to your wonderful channel. 🌻😁
I'm Catholic Irish girl ,but that picture is how I've always seen Jesus , thank you xx
you're welcome--J
That painting pretty much looks as I imagined. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank You--J
Agree TBarb. A man from the Middle East- of course he had darker skin than what has been commonly pictured.
Yeah, he looks familiar is what I thought right away.
You keep giving us gifts. Thank you. What beautiful soulful eyes ❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome
Thank you for sharing your painting- truly appreciate it. I Wouldn’t worry that people may find this controversial as to what Yeshua looks like - to me that is missing the point entirely. It’s the message that counts to me, not the package. However, that being said, I do understand that some people might find his appearance important. Thank you for sharing with us and I hope any negative or controversial comments won’t keep you from continuing on with this channel. Have a wonderful weekend!Love and light
No worries negative doesn't stick to me. Thank You!--J
That is a beautiful picture of Jesus. And it looks remarkably like the man I always envisioned when trying to picture him in my mind. Thank you for sharing this.
You are quite welcome!!!---J
@@johnofnew I discovered you last night on Kim Intuitview's wonderful forgiveness ceremony. I sat and cried all the way through it. And I was so touched by everyone's input and what it meant to them. So thank you for joining with them. After both streams (Kim's & Tarot Love Comm) I had to look you up. I'm so glad I did. What wonderful and honest messages you give. I've listened to several already and I'm truly touched. Keep up the wonderful work you are doing. Blessed Be
Thank you 🙏🏼 I am so happy for your videos.
Glad you like them!
Yes! When we talk to each other, we can finally understand...we can connect! I'm so glad I can feel again and you, my friend ,have reminded me so much, by remaining loyal, by sharing from the heart. It's the Spirit guiding you, Love and Light guiding us all. And because of that you were chosen as our guide.🙏🌻🎶
I respect your beliefs, though I think it's all far simpler. the power is within I'm not being led.
What fascinates me is that he had a bit of a red tint in his curly hair and bluish tinted eyes despite having darker skin and middle eastern face shape. What a combination. Though, Jeshua is beautiful no matter what he looks like.
Love the painting. It is expressive and beautiful.
I so appreciate you, John. You help me to know/sense his energy and confirm so much of what I imagined was true about Yeshua. Thanks for having the courage to talk so openly about him and be so vulnerable. Bless you!
7:43 yes I never forgot mine either but even tho I had Pre-Birth Experiences & remembered choosing to come from where our buddy is right now I got lost for awhile in this journey but luckily was reminded of my connection a couple years ago which made me start this spiritual journey I am on as an adult and couldn't be happier about it!
He’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing your portrait. I totally believe your memory and recollection. You are beautiful too. Please ignore ALL NEGATIVE Comments. Block them. You are sharing such beauty snd light with us. Those that judge have serious issues. Please protect yourself from negativity. There seem to always be some who have to be jerks. Thanks again. ✌️💖🤞.
Thank you so much! No need to "protect" myself though. The idea of it is focused on fear and I don't go there.--J
@@johnofnew very good point. I am all good. 😃. Yes I’m always so shocked to hear that people give such rude comments. Ok then. You are all good.
Love the eyes!❤ So clear and direct. "I see you." (My favourite three words in the world.)
I'm sorry you can only paint him with sad eyes. He is so beautiful though, and his face seems a little thin, but you ought to know better than me. Or maybe I'm just thinking of a front view. Thank you for the portrait. It warms my heart. Thank you John, from my heart to yours, Betty
It's a GREAT painting!!! I imagine he felt QUITE a lot of sadness while he was there on the cross. Maybe it also shows his sadness from seeing what is currently going on in the world. Seeing your painting reminds me just how human he was, and how much he can relate to whatever we are going through in life. I know you said he laughed a lot, too. I can imagine how wonderful it would be to walk with him or sit around a campfire with him and laugh. 👍 He understands being human and all that it brings. That, to me, is the ideal teacher. Thank you, Jeshua! And thank you, John! You're quite a pair, working together like this... 😊😊
thank you for sharing the truth about our beloved Brother Jesus.
Even as a child I always I assumed that Jesus was dark with dark eyes because of the area he was from. Then when I came across Isaiah’s prediction of Christ, where he said that he would not stand out in a crowd (paraphrasing), I took to mean he was an average-looking man of that time and place. That made sense. Nothing in the New Testament alludes to his difference in color and features from his people. He wouldn’t have, anyway, I don’t think, choose to separate himself from his people in that way.
I had a couple dreams of Jesus, and he looked like ur painting. Darker skin, Arab, long black beard and hair, dark iris eyes, yes, ur painting. I saw a bit of a nose arch, slight Roman nose, high cheek bones, slimmer in cheeks under cheek bones, like lean, no fat, and a bit more rugged looking. My dreams are very vivid and real, lifelike. In my first dream I gave back all my prayers I had received, and all these leaves flowed out of me up in the air and went back to Jesus. The second dream I thanked him for dying on the cross for our sins. It was Easter 🐣. He said he didn’t die on the cross for our sins, it got lost in the translation, but it was him showing us forgiveness for crucifying him. He said no matter what we do he will always forgive us. Like an ultimate show of forgiveness. I was taken back by what I heard, and somewhat shocked, it goes against my beliefs. But makes sense. This is funny, I had a third dream, Jesus was up on the church wall, alive, looking down at me. He had blond hair, blue eyes, he was reaching for me to join him. I flew up in the air, to the church ceiling, grabbed his hand, to his complete shock 😂, pulled him down to the church floor, and told him he’s not Jesus. Happened after my first 2 dreams about Jesus, so I have this Arabic image of Jesus, and definitely not a Viking look. 😂
I love to hear you speak about him . I wonder what his voice sounded like , how tall he was , was he slim or strongly built , I love hearing your stories and memories about your buddy . Thank you so much for sharing your memories with everyone . ❤️
Yes, i have see HIM in my dreams. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful painting of Yeshua.☀️
You are so welcome
Beautiful painting, beautiful friendship, I resonate with the both of you, wish I was friends with the two of you back then and wish I was friends with you now, we’d sit together and have a coffee and chat☕
Thank you John! I knew it! I knew he was a fun guy!!!!😆😆😆❤❤❤
he was!---J
Funny I was going to ask you which depiction was closest to your memory. Love that you painted this image. Thank you so much.
you're welcome
Who he was is in the hearts of everyone of us. Thanks for sharing.
You said a word that really caught my attention, "experiential". There was a point in my life when I realized I wasn't satisfied with hearing and reading about God, I wanted to "experience God". And that has been my focus since. Organized religion does not take us there.
I am SO glad that you took the time to paint a portrait of Jesus. I am of a German background and neverthought for a minute that anyone of an Arab/Jewish background could be blond and blue eyed.
Jesus is wonderful . Love him.
Simply wonderful! Thank you.
John of New, thank you for being on this earth when we need it so badly. Thank you for guidance through our beloved brother . I get to talk with you middle of June. Looking so forward to our visit. Thank you .
Beautiful painting of Jeshua. 💙 I believe the Turin Shroud shows the real picture of Jeshua. But I agree with you that Jeshua would want us to know the man, not the history distorted images of him down the ages & he would want us to truly understand his teachings now.
John, I had the internal direction to speak to you. Continue your expression of Love Always. We are all expressing "God" the path we follow is to find God.❤🌳🙏
This is how I imagined him to look. A while ago I asked to shown what he really looked like, as I’m a visual person and clairvoyant and here I am finding this older video as a new follower. Thank you for showing me.
you are accurately right my brother
It’s coming together… Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏 Praise be Jesus
He did not want praise. He wanted us to find what he did within.
I think he looks beautiful..normal..loving.. thanks.
I tried to screenshot the picture so I can use it during my meditation it's beautiful
I love it! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing! Beautiful!
thanks
Thank you for your TRUTH and what MANY of US do believe he always was an Arab with dark skin and dark hair but curly. I never knew about the eyes but that makes sense to me. I'm so grateful you were with him during his time on this earth as his beloved John. 🥰
I can agree with you on the amount of books left out of the Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth (B.I.B.L.E.) there are 52 more buried in that area..the Dead Sea.
interesting
That introduction, my friend😂 Let's see what this is all about...
There's nothing controversial here 🙂. Keep it coming John.
I love that quote by your 6 year old son. Wouldn't it be interesting to have a Bible written by wide open children. 🙂
So simply written.
that's a lovely painting of Yeshua/Isha (as i think of him) - any way to get a print of it??
Hadn't thought of that I'll look into it--J
I’d ❤️ a print as well 🙏
This resonates . My attempts to paint HIM came out just like this . Funnily enough.
Thank you so much for sharing. I really do appreciate it very much. ❤❤❤
Beautiful! Thank you!
I love that painting. Always been fascinated with Yeshua.
His eyes say listen to me
Thank you for sharing ❣❣🥰
The words in the Bible that teach truth and show the way to love each other are all that matter. They are truth and that is felt in our gut, we just know the words that resonate. Even the original Bible was written well after Jesus died, so if we just allow the truth and the lessons to allow us to get through, in the love of God, we will be growing and loving our whole life.
I have always wanted to know what he looked like. Thank you for this.
Yeshua🕊️🙌🏼 🥲
❤ Love him so mutch ❤
Wonderful video, thank you. I have a postcard of Jesus laughing and it's one of my favorite pictures. I love your picture too. Jesus looks like someone I'd like to hang out and have a beer with.
Thank you John!
My pleasure!
It's very interesting that he had blue eyes. Supposedly everyone with the blue eyed gene mutation is related and goes back to one ancestor in the Black Sea region but they say that person lived 10.000 years ago so everyone with blue eyes would have to be related to him as well. Did one of his parent's have blue eyes? I mean it doesn't really matter it's just something interesting to think about.
I never knew his father, but he resembled his mother very much.
Yes, Yeshua has a great sense of humor, loves to make jokes and tease in gentle loving ways... that is how I know that someone knows Yeshua personally...
Yes, so lovely. 💙
Thank you! 😊
I have a joke for you, John. This was actually told to me by my great aunt, who was a nun.
What did Jesus say at the Last Supper?
"Come on over to this side of the table, boys, so they can take our picture."
🤣😅
Rather than interpret Jesus as the only embodiment or incarnation of Divine Love, I would flip that around and say that Jesus was the exemplar of who we all are -- we also embody God, as your dear 6-year-old son said! ❤
I never said he was the only embodiment, That would be completely opposite of his teachings
@@johnofnew You are helping me! ❤ Sorry, I know *you* didn't say that, but Nicea did. "His only Son our Lord." I am contrasting what you are saying with what Nicea was saying. They were following the Gospel of John (ha!) 3:16. But remember, Isaac was also called Abraham's "only begotten" even though Abraham had other sons! Maybe Yeshua was "only begotten" in the sense of bringing light to the whole world in fulfillment of Genesis 12:1-3, *but* he came to help us realize that we all embody Divine love. New John, forgive my many words. I love what you are saying. 😀
@@michaelearendil6843 I was not offended in any way. No need to apologize. Much of what you are asking is actually in some of the videos on the channel.
@@johnofnewI looked it up on google.. the Greek words for "only begotten" could also be interpreted to mean "one of a kind" which would also explain why the same words for Issac was used when Abraham ALSO has other son's.
I find it interesting that you say your painting of Jesus is what he looked like with so much confidence. When the fact is nobody really knows. Also I'm wondering what you think of the Bible saying you should not make depictions of heavenly things. Jesus being the ultimate heavenly thing...
Jeshua was a man not a deity "heavenly being." I painted it from my past life regression memory so I believe I do know what he looked like. I don't believe in fear based "should nots"
@@johnofnew he is the son of God. Born of a virgin. No biological father. God in human form. Father, son (Jesus), holy Spirit. The trilogy of GOD. What do you mean Jesus is not a heavenly being?
And I don't get your fear comment based on my question.
❤️🙏
🥰 You too incarnated 2000 years, Jesus time? I saw him shine with light 💖
Question - the day Jesus was born ? That is controversial. I’ve read, watched documentary stating April 17 - not December 25th. In my experience anything other than December 25th isn’t up for discussion.
December 25th was selected at the Nicean council in 325ad. I was placed there because it was close to a Pagan holiday, Constantine was trying to make Christianity acceptable for pagans to transition to. We didn't celebrate birthdays back then and don't know what day he was born sorry---John
@@johnofnew ok ty. I Understand there isn’t a celebration of bday=== a year after year, but just focusing on the information discovered-
for the day Christ was born -
question / raised due the documentaries in which talks about - from the planets, stars, land, flowers , the climate = spring , then more accurate the 17 th of April. I find the ones that won’t listen at all we’re catholic- can’t go against their teachings
@@johnofnew biblical scholars say between April 1 to September. History sites- and if researched deeply it comes out to dates in April
How come some NDE’rs say Jeshua’s eyes were dark brown but with dark skin and dark hair, while others say He was blonde with long hair and blue eyes? Do you think He comes in different forms to meet that person’s comfort level? I personally would want Him to appear how He really looks and not how I was taught how He looks.
NDE's are processing through their own belief.
You are awesome bro!
I know you are but what am I? Lol
@@johnofnew 😂❤️🙏
Beautiful painting of Jeshua. J looks so similar to my first husband, Steve. Makes me smile. LOL. 💚
Love that!
Your understanding of the biblical canon may not be spot on. The Council of Nicea wasn't even convened to decide a list of scriptures, and our present NT wasn't set until 382 AD as confirmed by Damasus and the clergy of Rome for use in Jerome's Latin Vulgate. I am not aware that 60 books were tossed out by the council. However, it is true that Athanasius, who penned the Nicene Creed of 325 AD, put out a list of accepted and rejected books when he was Bishop of Alexandria in 367 AD. His list was the same as used in Rome, 382 AD.
whoever is right in this, the only important thing is the editing by Rome
@@johnofnew I just realized, maybe you were right after all! On one hand, we do have various NT manuscripts *earlier* than Nicea, including papyri in the mainstream Greek as well as the Syriac, Coptic, and Old Latin traditions. However, I must look more into the 52 (!) Nag Hammadi scriptures that were buried in the desert -- after Athanasius condemned them in 367 AD! By that time, Constantine had been dead 30 years, *but* Athanasius was the main bearer of the legacy of his Nicean council. Thank you, John, for making me think about this in more depth! ❤
Namaste
In other words, I think you are basically correct!
I've been on my spiritual journey for about four years now. I've had long lulls when I just felt like I was alone, knowing I wasn't though. Found you a few days ago or so and tonight just had a lightbulb click like a nuclear bomb went off as I sit here in shock at the revelation lol Had to do with Jeshua coming to earth in human form and performing all the wondrous works, and etc...as an example of what we are able to do if we have that faith. I was taught that yes, our faith was a needed component to achieve such things but that it wasn't US that did them, God did. The two are separate. There is us...our lowly selves, and God, the divine. We aren't capable of performing such works but if we believe in God enough, HE will do them on our behalf. Not sure what exactly it was that you said that made it click so hard tonight but thank you for being here and sharing!
When you come to the realization that God is not external and that you and God are one it will expand even more.
@@johnofnew I have already discovered that, I was merely taught that he was external in my youth. I've had a LOT of unlearning to do over the years.
Controversial? Seems like common sense! I've spent my entire life arguing that the images of Jesus I see everywhere couldn't be a man from that part of the world, and that "Christianity" is a religion put together by man in 315 AD, but have always left the door open to the idea that there was a seed of truth in the story. I find hearing your stories about Yeshua fascinating and more authentic than anything I have ever heard before. If this heresy means we can smell firelighters in Rome, so be it.
When I was younger I seen a vision of Christ looking like this.
How fantastic! Thank you!!! Is there a way to find the missing sixty books to read?
You are so welcome!
Try looking up a book about the Nag Hamadi Library. It contains many of the gnostic texts that were banned by the church.
been all through them
Can you say something about the Shroud of Turin

I don’t know how someone can critique the way Jesus looked when he saved our lives?
I respect your beliefs, though I disagree. He never wanted to be called a savior.
True, I am just saying that if someone helps you in a profound way, I would not be judging how he looks. I would just be grateful for his kindness.
Your painting seems close to the image on the shroud 8:29 turnin. Is that shroud his actual burial cloth?
Use the search function and type in "shroud" and you'll find the videos.
How do you account for the picture that Akiane painted she said she had a vision of Jesus? Was it just the way he showed up for her?

I have a minor point having everything to do with all your messages: the volume(s). Different segments of your broadcasts (intro, main message, outro) all have different volumes, which force constant adjusting. Further, when you move your head back and forth while talking, the volume fades in and out frequently. Which forces some more adjusting. Of course, body language and tone vary to reflect emotional fluctuations. Most of the time, people can't help it. But maybe you can attach a lapel microphone to your top so the distance from the source would be fixed. Also, when the sound diminishes, the audience has to focus to hear your words, and by the time it figures them out, your thought would have been somewhere down the line already - I mean constant playing of catching up. So it is continuous stop-and-go, or hiccups. Lastly, with this sort of talk, one absorbs most when one is NOT focusing, because without focus means a broader mental spectrum. You know very well why people drone when reciting a mantra, for instance. Hope you don't take it wrong, and will do something about this.
long since resolved. these are older videos you are commenting on
Thank you for sharing your painting of Jeshua! The minute I looked at it I thought of The Shroud of Turin! I have a question: Did Jeshua ever marry? Was Jeshua and Mary Magdalene a couple? Thank you John
Its in the video list. Coming soon--J
Go watch the interview that John did with Jeff in "JeffMara Podcast". John talked about Jesus n His wife Mary Magdalene. Awesome !!
We control the God part inside of us... with our free will to make our own choices.
Really nice picture. Yup. Looks close to what he looked like.
Interesting assertion
@@johnofnew I'm just making a good guess. I am not doubting you. It's just that most people find it difficult to paint an exact replica of someone from memory unless that are a really gifted artist.
