Why do Mormons represent Jesus as a way too hot guy?

[Anonymous]

I find it so funny that Mormons always use these images of Jesus where he looks like a male model too hot for his life. I think if a guy looks like that he would probably employ his life copulating with the very long line of girls running after him rather than bothering becoming a saint

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or "Mormon") is a major religion with millions of members and a long history. However, like any religion or organization, it has faced criticism and controversy over the years. Here are some common criticisms that have been leveled against the LDS Church and its beliefs:

• Historical inaccuracies: Some have claimed that the history of the LDS Church as described in the Book of Mormon is not supported by archeological, linguistic, or historical evidence.
• Polygamy: The LDS Church was once known for practicing polygamy, or plural marriage, which was officially discontinued in the late 1800s. Some critics argue that the practice was abusive and harmful to women and children.
• Racism: The LDS Church was once racially segregated, with black members being excluded from the priesthood and certain temple rites until 1978. Some critics argue that the Church's past policies were racist and discriminatory.
• Scientific claims: The LDS Church has made claims about the origin of humanity and the universe that are not supported by scientific evidence, such as the belief that Native Americans are descendants of an Israelite civilization.

It's important to note that the LDS Church has addressed some of these criticisms, either through official statements or changes in policies or teachings. However, these issues remain controversial and are often used by detractors to challenge the credibility of the Church and its beliefs.

I'm calling bullshit. I am not Mormon but I grew up and still live in the Mormon epicenter of Salt Lake City. It is a very Mormon culture here and many of my extended family members are Mormon, and many of my friends growing up were Mormon, so I've been in countless Mormon homes and I've also toured three Mormon temples during their "open house" prior to opening. I've seen all the art in homes and temples and never seen the one you posted where he is covered with young beautiful women.

It's astounding to me how much animosity and deliberately false information there is about the LDS church and Mormon people. While I find their doctrine to be just as nonsensical as any other Christian denomination, they are just normal people, and really good people for the most part.

I don't know what your motive is for posting this kind of false garbage but you should stop. It makes you look bad, not them.

No idea. Keep in mind these are the same idiots who thought natives were Jewish, blacks were the cursed descendants of Cain, that a fake form of Egyptian was real etc.

It's not very different from how most mainstream sects of Christianity depict Him; there was one particular artist who inspired the most common look, but I can't remember their name right now.

But remember that depictions of Jesus aren't intended to be portraits, but more abstract representations; unless you're going to go full Iconoclast (and thus deny the Incarnation), then He has to look like SOMETHING.

That's pretty much how the Italian classical artists depicted Jesus.

If he can control his urges while looking like that, I bet you could too if you really tried. Thanks for showing us how he was an even better example to us all, that we even knew. 😁

[Asker]

Yeah but he probably just looked like your average palestinian

This is just a representation, based on people's descriptions of him. It's not intended to be an exact "photo" of Jesus Christ. I know a lot of people get all caught up in their feelings about how he's depicted, but in the end, how he "looks in paintings" doesn't really matter. It's what he teaches, how you choose to follow him or not, that makes all the difference.

Mormons are a false religion.
