What would the historical Jesus think about his followers today if he could see them?

What he always said: the end is nigh, the fire is coming.

>His followers
To whom are you referring? Protestants? Catholics? Orthodox? Muslims? those few Buddhists who revere him as Saint Issa?

I think Christ would be pleased with a few Christians, disappointed but forgiving of many more Christian sinners, and He would slap the shit out of the bankers.

He would be disappointed seeing how many self-proclaimed "Christians" spread the words of hate and intolerance. He would probably detest catholic church and it's false splendor and pageantry.

He sees everything, always and forever. He knows his sheep because they believe in him and bear good fruit.

Because I made it and it is propaganda. The Church isn't perfect, but it is the body of Christ. Just as we are commanded to love and forgive each other, we must love and forgive an organization made from us. Forgive and reform. The kid touchers need to be gone, for a start.

If Christ came back today you would put him on trial for "hate speech" and crucify Him again. The only person with hate and intolerance is you.

If it were truly the body of Christ wouldn't it be perfect (perfect from the perspective of God's word)? I think its more of a tribute to God (and Christ by extension).

What would a revolutionary mystic Jew think about a religion that has co-opted his image as a tool of political power / social control and declared him to literally be God?

Jeez, I don't know, but it would sure be interesting to see!

because, like every other loser on 4chan, religion has become another commodity fetish - an aspect to your changing consumer profile in a lil makeshift spiritual crisis ... converting via memes ... consolatory stuff

Well, he left Peter as the steward of the church. From early Christian documents, we can see that orthodoxy is the closest to that which was practiced by the disciples.
