S. What makes him to stand out is his messages, not his look.
Then why the look? It seems like a great distraction to the message.

I am not the Prophet, so I do not know. But not sure how its a distraction to the message... His message speaks directly to your Spirit Being.
We need to test the spirits. And especially our own. . . We're each moved by different things and have different criteria for what we consider truth. As best I can discern I agree with a lot of what you say, and thus a lot of what Elijah Jude Alexander says.
Bringing up his appearance was mostly for fun. I wouldn't judge him or anyone else exclusively on appearance.

HE (Jesus) preached or instructed to teach about God's kingdom (Daniel 2:44) at Matthew 24:14; Acts 1:8......................, yet you do not know what HE preached.
In the theology I learned, there's a distinction between "resuscitation," versus "resurrection." The latter means you've died, and risen into a state that will never return to the mortal body you formerly possessed. "Resuscitation," on the other hand, merely implies that your mortal body was temporarily resuscitation only to die again eventually.
Lazarus died after being resuscitated. All those who rose from the grave at Jesus' resurrection later died implying that they merely had their mortal bodies temporarily resuscitated.
In the ancient world, bodies weren't embalmed. In fact, we embalm bodies today because of the truth that there are many times when a body has all the qualification of being dead, while it's in a state between life and death. We might interpret Jesus' prayer of thanks to the Father upon reaching Lazarus tomb to be based on the fact that Lazarus didn't yet "stinketh." Jesus may have realized that if he had actually died, rather than being in state between life and death, his body would have already begun to decompose. John
HE (Jesus) preached or instructed to teach about God's kingdom (Daniel 2:44) at Matthew 24:14; Acts 1:8.
This is why HE (Jesus) instructed to ask for God's kingdom or government to come ( thy kingdom come.....)
And for God's will (HIS purpose) to be done on Earth as it is done in Heaven.
In Heaven there is No war, No crime, No violence, No pollution, No sickness, No death.....
So, thus we know HE (Jesus) preached that those same good heavenly kingdom conditions that exist in Heaven to come and exist right here on Earth. Exist on Earth just at 1 Corinthians 15:26; Isaiah 25:8 says.
To me it does Not seem Cain was in a better position because Jesus starts counting the ' foundation of the world ' (of mankind) staring with Abel according to Matthew 23:35............... I pointed out that Cain was actually in a better position with God after he killed Abel than he was prior to killing Abel. . . It seems the same was true of Saul. John
The theme of the Bible and the theme of Jesus teaching is: God's kingdom - Luke 4:43Nope. HE preached the Gospel of Everlasting Life... What do you know about the kingdom?
