Is Jesus Christ upset about how he is portrayed in churches liked nailed to a tree? Wouldn't Jesus Christ prefer a picture of himself giving a religious lecture like the Sermon on the Mount - surrounded by crowds during springtime/whatever? Maybe Jesus Christ would even prefer his picture as a college graduate or receiving his Ph.D. from the Judaism School of Theology?

So, your view?

Is Jesus happy about himself being portrayed like the victim of violent crime - all covered in blood and lifeless on a cross?

how would i know?
how would anyone know?

jesus is far too busy with talking to sad people to ever talk to me.

i really have no idea about what would "upset" jesus.

if people think he has a beard then so what?
if people think he is white and not arabic then who cares?

whoever he was and whatever he felt is buried in a completely obscured historic story.
jesus never said a word to me i believe.

nevertheless, i seem to know what is wrong on a deep level.

Jesus died nearly 2000 years ago. How could we possibly know?

I would guess he does not even like riding on dashboards ...

"... I do not seek My own desire, but the desire of the Father who sent Me."
(John 5:30)

"... for My Father is greater than I."
(John 14:28)

A sure sign you're driving too fast:
