I sure hope so! I don't follow a church; but I do believe in a personal realtionship with Christ. I don't believe in "religion" but I do believe in Spirituality.
I think Jesus would approve of any group of people ( or individuals ) who worship sincerely, who seek the truth, who worship God, who love others as themselves, etc.
As for modern day religions, it would depend on whether Christ is the focus of the religion. Some do not preach Christ, so Jesus would hope that they would pray and seek to find the truth..the Truth is Jesus!

Are you kidding, he would shut them all down. Have you seen the late night minister on Cable TV pitching his "Miracle Water"? The only thing that it has cured is his ailing bank account. Between the hypocrisy, the greed, the gay and pedophile men of the cloth and the religion violence. Jesus has to be shaking his head "NO". The state of organized religion is a disgrace but we're not supposed to talk about it. If there is a man living in a cloud,the state of religion is blasphemy to God.

Hi, good question, I think that Jesus would be saddened and disappointed at the behaviour of some Christian denominations, He would ask what has been done to His Gospel of love and truth, because many have imprinted their own brand of truth and rules today.
they have hardened their hearts and become far too dogmatic and their preaching is so severe that it turns others away from a relationship with Jesus and this would perhaps bring His rebuke on them.

Unlikely...I remember a wise priest once fictatiously described the Lord Christ on His second coming strolling through the many different modern-day denominations and religions, seeking the hearts of His people and saying:
"Where is the church that Instituted? where are the teachings and practices that I left behind 2000 years ago? Where are my people that I have died for to save? Where is the Love that I showed and left them with?
So the real question that you are in effect asking is..."where is the Original Church that He instituted?" I believe it is still around...but you need to be the one to find it.
God bless you my friend.

Jesus (pbuh) will come to earth to break the cross and kill the pigs, because he has never teached the Israelites anything about redemption, trinity, or worshiping Jesus.
Jesus even said he came not to abolish the old laws but to fulfill them (Matt 5:17)
So why do you ignore the old laws of the jews: abstain from pork, fast, pray, abstain from alcohol, and eye for an eye law.

I am a believer that the Bible is the word of God and that Jesus was His son and Jesus died for our sins. Yes, Jesus would approve of that.

The last thing Jesus would be is a Paulist/christian.
This is not the belief system that he taught. In fact in many ways it is almost the exact opposite of the beliefs he taught.
