Being a swimmer is not a prerequisite for having a hot swimmer’s bod.
As an adult he taught at least once his home town’s synagogue, pissing off the townsfolk enough so that they attempted to toss him off a cliff; he had to do a Kitty Pryde to escape. And he himself was called Rabbi. I think it’s pretty clear that he could read & write.
Link?
That would be a Nephlium
Described as a ‘mighty men, men of renown’ in the OT. That would pretty much set Him apart from the general population in appearance.
Wait, do I gather from your reverential capitals that you’re saying that Jesus was one of the Nephilum?
The bible says Jesus was unremarkable in appearance: the Roman soldiers could not tell him apart from his disciples, and needed a signal from Judas Iscariot to pick him out of the crowd. Matthew 26:48; Mark 14:44.
Are you saying The Bible is wrong? If so, I won’t disagree with you.
Jim Caviezel’s a white guy with blue eyes, and he’s six two. How did they get it right there?
Lots of Jews have blue eyes.
And, to be honest, I suspect a lot of your less educated Christians do think he had blue eyes.
I know at least one. My best friend’s parents become born-agains a few years back. They wanted an interactive Bible for their computer, so he got the best one he could find, as a Christmas present. When it was loaded up and his Mom was shuffling through it, she was frankly amazed to see pictures of Mary and Jesus and such looking like, well, like people living in the Middle East two thousand years ago. She just could not get her head around the fact that they weren’t white Anglo-Saxon Americans.
Are you saying Jesus was not a mighty man?
It is apparent from scripture that before His glory Jesus will be despised, after which He will be exalted when God opens their eyes.
So yes it’s both, He is unremarkable in appearance till God has revealed Jesus as His Son, after which He is made King of everything - sounds like a mighty man to me.
Your god used a whip to clear the money-changers from the temple. My god has

Sig Sauer issued him by NCIS. He’d have done it faster.
Have you not seen AR Jesus? Fucketh not with him.
How does AR Jesus keep His hair our of His face?
Ditto. While I’m sure that on some level when the faithful see this, they know it’s at best one approximation of what he looked like, there’s a world of difference between that depiction and envisioning theguy who’s liable to get searched at the airport.
Jesus and the adulteress, from the Gospel of John
Jesus was, at least, a doodler.
I can only speak to what’s in the scripture of your religion, which seems to disagree with you. I guess that, yes, I am saying that, based on the text I cited above, Jesus was not a “mighty man” in outward appearance. And since this thread is concerned only with his outward appearance, I see no reason to discuss whether he glowed internally with all the colors of the rainbow.
I still have no problem with the Shroud, if a hoax, to still be a replica of a valid tradition of Jesus’ appearance. And it’s doesn’t show a particularly attractive fellow with a thin nose. More of a hangdog look- David Schwimmer or Jeff Goldblum if you want a Jewish actor, a middle-aged Harry Dean Stanton if a Gentile.

Nope, definitely JW. The JWs can be men or women and do not wear badges; the women tend to look frumpy and the men, if young, like the tie is about to strangle them. The Mormons are dudes who look like they just stepped out of a corporate recruitment poster and wear badges “Brother This” and “Brother That”. I’ve seen someone accept the JW’s offerred papers out of a desire to just keep on walking and then look at the cover and say “where the heck do you come up with him being a blonde? are you kidding me?” ETA: it’s possible that you guys consider “light brown” what for a Spaniard is “dark blonde”.
We figure that if he’d been a blonde it would have been mentioned in scripture, same as it was mentioned for King David, blonde being unusual among Jews.
King David was blond? I have to honestly say I do not ever remember reading anything about his being blond. 
There’s mention of his being light haired when Samuel goes to find him, IIRC.
[Raises hand] Former Christian here who, during childhood, went to a church where congregants, both white and black, prayed to a honkin’ huge statue of the auburn-haired (beautifully coiffed, by the way), blue-eyed, white Jesus.
This was in Kansas, in the late '60s / early '70s, and I don’t know if this was the norm there and then, but I do know that my mom, who is black, believed that is how Jesus actually looked, and was visibly disturbed/disgusted when it was suggested otherwise.
