Jesus in Jeans...What do you think about this?

Jesus is one of the people in history which I admire the most. Because unlike any other god which we don´t know if exists or not, Jesus was real and the things he did for others where real. With that, I´m not saying that I´m a religious people, I don´t go to church, or pray, or...... but Jesus is Jesus. But, well, I´m not too strict about this kind of things, since I didn´t find it offensive,but well, I know that not all the people are going to agree with that and I understand it.

I don't agree with it. By presenting Jesus in this way, "in an attempt to modernize Jesus", "to make him more accessible to younger people," you flirt with the idea of making God in man's image. You in a sense, bring God down to man's level. By doing this you lessen the greatness and holiness of God. God will not change to suit us. He asks that we allow Him to change us. The Church should present Jesus as he is, not as we would like for him to be.

I didn't find anything creepy about. I'm sure if Jesus was here in our time he would've wore jeans too. Didn't the Bible say that Jesus in his time share in people's humanity? People get a picture all the time that Jesus was just a man in fine robes and such. Knowing that Christ came long ago, wasn't the type of person people looked at, but it was his words that inspired. I don't think jeans would've been harmful or people should get worked up about it. Funny thing though is that, the statue in no way looks like the usual portray of the religious figured Jesus with long hair or full grown beard. Either way, it's alright.

What the heck..why would they do that? Are they our of their minds. Jesus is not a product that you can improved or tailored to the trend of today's society. He is God...even if you don't believe him. He deserves respect not fashion statement.

I'm on the fence. I understand what you mean...why can't Jesus just be Jesus...but I think of it differently. And maybe this was not the churches intention with the statue, but these are my thoughts and interpretations of the story and image: Jesus doesn't discriminate. I was just thinking of this the other night while praying -- well, God gave me this idea, is a better way of putting it, lol. Jesus is Emo, He's Hip-Hop, He's Country/Hillbilly, He's Upperclass, He's a Hobo. Now if I left it at that, you'd probably think I'm crazy...Jesus, homeless? Pfft. But what I mean by that is...He does not care what you are or where you came from. He doesn't care how you dress or speak or walk. He accepts anybody who is willing to accept Him. And basically, that's the message i get from this statue. What's wrong with kids or teens looking up at a statue of Jesus in bluejeans and a white tee and say, "Hey, isn't He cool? Yea, that's my Savior." Jesus can be cool too. That's just how I see it. And again, the church might not have been trying to convey that message. But, sometimes it doesn't matter what you mean to convey....everything can be understood differently. If that makes sense. :)

I am not christian, as stated above, but anyway the typical image of jesus is with the typical dressed of his time, i don't think it could be offensive to represent him with the typical dresses of a modern man.

This is the expression of a crazy idea! We regard Jesus, but we can never put whatever we want or choose with the image of Jesus. Can we do such practice with a living person already around us? If not, then why this is to be practised with Jesus, to whom billions of people on this earth regard? This sort of activities in the form of art or craft in media must be banned! Thanks for this nice information and have a good day!

I really agree with you on that.I think its disrepectful to jesus christ.I believe that he accept us regardless of who we are and our walks of life.We shouldnt discriminate but why would a church want to modernize him he wants us to be close to him but come on is that really necessary.jesus in jeans plz.

It is just the idea of the artist to make some new style of having his jeans sold out. Jesus is powerful and the creator of all things on earth. Thats why he printed it to come up with lifestyle just for the sake of his business. Usually believers or not but like it would really buy for they think it is modernize and upgraded. New style in 9k generations.

I guess that it will be the strange thing I will see Jesus in Jeans. I never even think about or imagine it. I always see his image crucified in the cross. But it is pretty amazing that they conceptualize it.

i personally think jesus in jeans is a crazy idea. its just a way to get cheap publicity. jesus christ was a saint considered as sun of god. lot of people worship him as god. nobody has a right to play with their emotions. if u cant follow his teachings, don't humiliate him. leave him alone. he is a symbol of faith, purity & goodness. nobody has a right to defame him. jesus is perfect don't experiment with him.

You should just accept Jesus with your heart, and through it you accept God with your heart too.
