Who Said That?

Who said that?
"I turned around and there stood Jesus Christ in all his glory! It is one thing to see Jesus, but its a different thing altogether to see Jesus with all of his glory and all of his honor. Many people have asked me what Jesus looks like. He's 5 feet 11 to 6 feet tall, and he's got sandy brown hair. It's not too long and its not too short. He is a perfect man, that's what Jesus is. Whatever you picture as a perfect man, that's what Jesus is. He's perfect in everything--the way he looks, talks--everything."

These are the words of Roberts Liardon, from the booklet I Saw Heaven. Since Liardon claims to have had this vision when he was just 8, this probably means that he wasn't smoking crack. The question I have is this: "is Liardon delusional, or just plain making this vision up?" Liardon is the author of God's Generals (detailing the ministries of the pentecostal greats) and is associate pastor at a church here in Orange County. The senior pastor? His mother! BTW--I didn't quote the really wacko stuff from I Saw Heaven. That might come later.

Revelation 1 gave the more fitting description.
The Bakker's maybe?
Honerstly, though, you got me.

John saw Jesus in his glory, and fell over as one dead.
Either way, you're in the same heretical camp!
I haven't read the book, but that sounds like something he'd write in the book.
I also must add how ridiculous it is to say "whatever you picture as a perfect man, that's what Jesus is." This makes Jesus into an idol fashioned by man. Of course he is perfect, but not in accordance with what man thinks makes someone perfect.
