    Jesus would despise most modern Christians. I don’t even think he’d be happy seeing all of the churches built “in his name”. He’d probably tell them to sell the buildings and land and give it all away to the poor.

    And then they’d kill him

      16Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”

      17“Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”

      18“Which ones?” he inquired.

      Jesus replied, “ ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19honor your father and mother,’ c and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’ d ”

      20“All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”

      21Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

      22When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

      The bible is pretty clear. But most people don’t follow it, or follow some heretical nonsense version of it.
