Was John the Baptist Attractive? (crucified, disciples, Jesus, grace)

[seeking manna]

To you ladies,

Would you have been attracted to John the Baptist? An insect eating man, who had likely NEVER had a haircut in his life…

Would you have found Peter attractive? Knowing fully well that he was to be crucified?

Would you have been attracted to Job? After his body covered in soars had been scraped with pot shards, and he’d lost all that he had?

What about the Apostle Paul? After he’d been beaten, gone naked at times, gone without food, been stoned, physically scarred and left for dead?

Are you attracted to men's weaknesses? The way God is… “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9.

Do you know how to view a man the way God does?

Or, have you been viewing “Christ”…as unattractive and undesirable in the meek and humble around you?

It's not what's on the outside, it's what's on the inside. I would look at their souls and if they have Divine Love, then I can feel it. To me, that is more important than someone's outward appearance. What Divine Love brings is a humble, endearing, loving quality and a strength of purpose, which means a courage of their convictions, which is very attractive, indeed... all of Jesus' disciples possessed this Love to a certain degree.

I'm with SoCal on this one. It's not the outside that counts but whats on the inside. I have, however, met quite a few that need baths but they are still the most loving people I've ever met.
