Jesus without his beard

Jesus with no beard

I’ve always wondered what would happen if a person were to remove Jesus’s beard.  Basically, I see images of Charles Manson fitting right in with the church’s curriculum without even being altered.

I mean, leaders in the LDS faith are not allowed to grow beards, so if Jesus were to appear shaved, would we recognize him? or is he more of an ideal, a wise bearded man whom we only know by his beard?

For more thoughts about that, tell me if this man, who also appears in churches all over the world, is the same man as the one above:

Modern Jesus

Since he is also Jesus, right?

Original Jesus

We wouldn’t fall for just any guy in a beard, would we?

This is not Jesus. He lead a cult and murdered people.
