I want first to set the direction of this series of articles by comparing the evidence of Holy Scripture with the assumed religious images of The Lord Jesus Christ - the paintings, the pictures, the statues, the icons, even the 'harmless' little cards displayed for sale in your local Christian book shop etc. etc. etc.. From our infancy, if we have had a traditional Christian up bringing, we will have been bombarded with these effeminate false images of Jesus Christ. This long haired wimp image is a given in traditional Christian circles, but is it a true likeness and in truth should there be any likenesses at all!? However, having said that, after completing this introduction I will then proceed to expound on the negative effects that these false images have had on Christians and Christianity in general. Indeed, and even upon how the world (secular) view of Jesus Christ and Christianity, has been affected and tainted because of these false images. Make no mistake these images are just plain insulting and a defamation of (or more lies about) The Lord Jesus Christ in pictorial form. These image based lies, rather than the usual oral and literary religious forms, are a foundation upon which a whole religious/politico system or industry has been constructed.
