>Paul says it's a shame for men to have long hair >Jesus universally depicted with long hair
When is this going to end? Long-haired Jesus is literally an invention of Satan because it means Jesus was a sinner. Jesus was not under a Nazarite vow and therefore would not have been permitted to have long hair under old covenant law.
The earliest depictions show him as a young man with short hair and no beard. This shepherd image becomes infused with the ideals from greece where noble philosophers sport beards. Greece is where the early religion starts to take shape around year 80-150. It becomes a fashion in Rome as well.
Paul was in Corinth, and long visible hair on a Corinthian woman was a sign of prostitution or otherwise lewd. It was therefore considered shameful, in Corinth, for a man to have long hair. Paul would also say that appropriate custom would vary from area to area.
Christ wasn't in Corinth.
Christ had long hair in depictions because many depictions mistook "Nazarene" with "Nazarite".
Nazarenes were simply people from Nazareth. Nazarites, however, had a custom to never cut their hair (Samson was, famously, a Nazarite who drew incredible strength from his long hair).
Christ was not a Nazarite and took no such vow, but then the length of His hair would've been up to Him. He couldn't sin any more than God Himself could sin, and hair length would've branded Christ a sinner only by the Edomite israelites who already hated Him. He and God are one and the same.

All of them because each one has a different take on Jesus
Power is easily the most ethereal, while Caviezel is the one more on the "epic" storytelling side
he would just be another homeless schizo. instead he was born at a time when the largest empire in the world was beginning to become unstable which allowed his creed to become a threat to the roman state which lead to Constantine adopting it to appease the population. then you have 1000+ years of him dominating the most intellectually and artistically active region of the world. probably the perfect time in terms of influence
Best Jesus coming through
Powell. This is not up for debate.
DaFoe cause I thought him ascending to Heaven as the film was being destroyed was kino.

The last supper and the vast majority of renaissance paintings show jesus with long hair (actually did any show him with short?)

Where can I watch the OG jesus of nazareth series online?
Dafoe's representation is positively bipolar.
Enrique Irazoqui
Dafoe. He’s helped by it being the better story.
Gotta go with Brian Deacon. Guy just had a good general demeanor.
Isn't Joaquin the only one who's actually israeli?
Why was Joaquin’s bad?
Narcissist project from his and noomi

Robert Powell or Henry Ian Cusick
I like Dafoe honestly, Scorsese did a good interpretation of Christ
IF YOU CAME TODAY YOU COULDA REACHED A WHOLE GENERATION
ISRAEL IN 4 BC HAD NO MASS COMMUNICATION
if Christ came today, most Christians would reject His message.

Christianity was at most 10% of the population's religion by the time of Constantine, you historylet.
