If only Jesus' followers shared his personality. That one shift alone would correct so many of the ridiculous and horrifying things that pass for popular Christianity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Like many Catholics, I was very affected by the personality of Jesus and that impression, pious as it was, has stayed with me.
But Jesus changes your attitude towards yourself and towards other people.
There just aren't that many Jesus roles around.
What strikes me about Jesus is that he is a remarkably true person; he never changes his personality to fit in with whatever crowd he finds himself. He is simply himself, and he never plays to his audience.
Each one of us has a particular virtue and faults that make the process of becoming like Jesus different.
You know, I think Jesus was famous and also in a lot of trouble because he always chose people over sort of established procedures.
Jesus did not always like the Apostles' way of acting, but by adapting himself to their temperament, praying for them to his father, giving them a holy example of conduct, he loved them, and that love changed them.
Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.
I'm still down with Jesus. I like to think of him mostly as a social revolutionary who mixed with bad crowds and hated the rich.
Christians should be ready for a change because Jesus was the greatest changer in history.
