When Christians see an image in a door or cloud?

Question

that looks like a man in a beard, why do they assume it's an image of Jesus? It could be Charles Manson with a beard and long hair. I've seen some of those "holy" images that look more like Manson than Jesus.

Answer 1

when you see a christian, do see the person who THEY really are, or do you just judge them based on the prejudices you have decided to appropriate about the label?

Answer 2

You are thinking catholics not Christians.

Answer 3

I had an encounter with a drugged out guy who thought he saw god in his bathroom window.  

Answer 4

I have never thought that and I'm Christian. I don't think that you know what you're talking about.

Answer 5

I am a Christian, but I have never seen an image of Jesus anywhere.  But I did see a bunny and a turtle in the clouds the other day.  Where do you people come up with this c**p?  The "news" on Inside Edition?

Oh, and I think Charlie has his head shaved now.

Answer 6

I saw Darwin in a tree once ...

I am stocking up on finches and building a compound.

Answer 7

When I see an image in a door or a cloud I just think what a coincidence it is that we can make out images that aren't intentionally placed there.  If I see what looks like "my" picture of Jesus, that might be interesting, but I'm not going to start worshiping it. That would be idolatry.  I have more than enough idols to get rid of already.

Speaking as a christian.  I don't know why some christians try to make things holy.  Only God can make something holy.

Answer 8

Most theories point to suggestability. eg. you see what is not there because you believe so fervently in it, call it what you will, a vision etc.

  There's also the fact that you might really 'want' to see an image of Jesus and that makes you more likely to do so.

  If you believe fervently that something in the dark is watching you, you hair stands on end, your skin prickles and your heart rate increases, much like the feeling you get when loaded with adrenaline.

Answer 9

its possible but i wouldnt share it with you..

Answer 10

I don't know. That one image of Jesus in that dog's rump looked pretty convincing.

Answer 11

don't confuse me with the catholics. i don't believe in that foolishness.  

Answer 12

I have the blessed virgin in my toilet tank.  It won't wash away even with liquid plumber, thus proving God's power.

Answer 13

As a Christian I believe you are right.  Especially since Jesus doesn't look anything like the pictures.  They say that image was first painted by a guy that picked up a drunkard off the street to pose for that picture.  Besides Jesus isn't a white man anyway.

Answer 14

It's all in the eye of the beholder. Random patterns look like many things to the human brain/eyes.

For instance, the person posting the pic of the tree trunk...to me it looks like a baby polar bear in there~ lol!
