AKID - Do heavenly father and Jesus Christ has the same physical appearance? in face, height, hair , Etc. as seen by Prophet Joseph Smith?
JOEL - Joseph Smith's first vision gave us some important information as to the general physical appearancess of the Father and the Son:
"When the light rested upon me [he said] I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air." (JSH 1:17)
We know that God the Father and His son are two separate individuals with human-looking bodies of flesh and bone:
"The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also;" (D&C 130:22).
Because Heavenly Father is literally the physical father of Jesus Christ (Luke 1: 35), we could expect them to look similar to each other, much like a mortal son looks like his mortal father (John 14: 7, 9).
God said:
"And I, God, said unto mine Only Begotten, which was with me from the beginning: Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and it was so.
And I, God, created man in mine own image, in the image of mine Only Begotten created I him; male and female created I them." (Moses 2:26-27)
Alma in the Book of Mormon said of the resurrection:
"Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame," (Alma 11:44)
Therefore, because the Father and Son are both resurrected beings we can assume that they do have hair and other normal facial features similar to what they had at the time they were mortals. However neither Joseph Smith nor the scriptures give any detailed discription as to the height, weight, or facial appearance of the Father and Son. Chances are that the brilliance of the light and glory surrounding the Father and Son in Joseph Smith's vision would make it impossible for him to be able to discern any details of their appearance.
