I'd like to post a question on the subject of whether Jesus resembled Joseph or not. But no matter how I pose it gets closed. First I posed it this way:
Have there been any Christian writings on the genetics of Jesus?
Mainstream Christians believe that Jesus was the son of God the Father and Mary, a virgin. From a scientific perspective, this means that he would have had no genetic material provided from a male parent. So my question is, have there been any Christian writings on how this worked genetically, i.e. what we would find if we had a DNA sample of Jesus?
One possibility is that God might have arranged Jesus to be genetically like what a biological son of Joseph and Mary would have been like. Are there any Christian writings that suggest that Jesus physically resembled his adopted father Joseph? Or did he only bear a resemblance to Mary?
Note that I don't want speculation, I just want to know what Christians have already said about this subject.
This was closed as too broad. Then I posed it this way:
Did Jesus resemble Joseph?
Mainstream Christians believe that Jesus was the son of God the Father and Mary, a virgin. So my question is, did Jesus only resemble his mother Mary, or did he also resemble his adopted father Joseph?
God could easily have arranged it so that Jesus resembled Joseph, even if Joseph played no role in the conception of Jesus.
This was closed because it was a "truth question". Then I revised the question this way:
Have any Christian writers discussed whether Jesus resemble Joseph?
Mainstream Christians believe that Jesus was the son of God the Father and Mary, a virgin. So my question is, have any Christian writers discussed whether Jesus only resemble his mother Mary, or whether he also resembled his adopted father Joseph?
God could easily have arranged it so that Jesus resembled Joseph, even if Joseph played no role in the conception of Jesus.
In this form it failed to be reopened, and it was later automatically deleted by the Community bot.
So my question is, how can I post an acceptable question on this subject? I'm just trying to find out whether any Christian writers have addressed whether Jesus resembled Joseph. Is there any way to pose this question that wouldn't lead to it being closed?
