People are reading that passage wrong anyway. Most Bible scholars agree that just because Jesus fitted into the temple doesn’t mean he would fit into the temple at all times. When he was in his giant mecha form, Jesus had no upper bound on his size.
We can estimate from the remains of structures so establish a theoretical upper-bound. If I had to guess, I’d say he was 7 ft, since as far as I know, 7 is the Hebrew number associated with perfection.
I know but USA imperial units are different from UK ones, just like how american english has some differences with standard english.
I assumes they were using USA imperial units since IIRC UK now also uses metrical units to some degree eg: they use centimeters to measure people’s height
I don’t think they could have constructed saint Peter’s basilica at this time or anything near the size of those archers, there is like a 1500 year difference between the two.
Side note: I’m not religious, but St Peter’s basilica is probably the most impressive building I’ve ever seen in my life. Someone feel free to recommend competitors.
I mean I’m not a Bible expert but do we have bounds on the size of the temple? Because until we do, Jesus’s size is still unbounded above 🤔
There would be some geological record if he’d manifestly affected global tides. So, less gravitational mass than the moon, for sure.

Well the temple is on Earth, so smaller than the Earth, probably.
And made by humans, so no bigger than the largest human-made structure
Solomon left some rather precise measurements so that would give you an idea of dimensions, I think.

They prolly did not use american imperial units tho
Imperial units didn’t come from America.

Edit: i may have confused UK and Canada in the last paragraph https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_the_United_Kingdom
Good point. Could have been something akin to St. Peter’s Basilica, or could be more like Cross Island Chapel 🤔

TBF, with religious buildings, magic is on the table.
