Here's a question - would Jesus call doubters a "loser" or "say hateful things about people who didn't agree with him? So why do you? How many can tell me what Jesus said to Thomas in his moment of truth? Did Jesus scold him? Call him a loser? Let's see hoe Jesus-like you can be.

Nope, he wouldn't. I completely agree that the savior would not behave half a badly as most on this forum. I also think he'd lurk around and answer a few questions now and then. Maybe even ask a few. He'd smile at most of the answers, knowing that there is much ignorance still on this planet and then He'd go about His business.
After a few of my own questions, I am convinced that most who believe in Him wouldn't look twice when He walks down the street, so why should they act any better here. I also believe that a forum such as this brings out the worst in us all. Since we all have strong convictions and most of us are not very articulate, it's no wonder that we might be a bit more vociferous when in an arena where there is no thing to control or curb our passions.
I do like you question! It puts into perspective how far we as a society still have to go to truly be peaceful. It starts in our own hearts and until we choose to control ourselves, we certainly have no foundation on which to demand others to be peaceful.
May the angels bless you in the ways you choose it. Thank you for allowing me to be blessed with answering your question.

Jesus could be quite outspoken with some people, so don't think he was just quiet Jesus, If He had something to say He said it. We are to speak the truth in love, that doesn't mean we have to smile and say thank you when you call us ignorant or stupid.

Many times did Jesus call doubters names; he called his own believers, after looking right at them, "Ye of little faith". He wasn't being syrupy sweet or kind or nice there.
He faced the religious leaders of that time and day and called them hypocrites, he called them blind (when they could visually see just fine), he even said "Ye SERPENTS, ye generation of VIPERS,how can ye escape the damnation of hell?"
Sound lovey-dovey and quote-unquote "Jesuslike" as you so call it?
He says "Ye FOOLS, and BLIND"..and "WOE unto YOU", all of this is in Matthew 23....let alone what else it says in other areas.
Christ also made a whip out of cords so he could beat and whip the people who were selling animals for financial gain at the jewish temple. Sound sweet and loving? Christ actually forming a whip to strike against people? THESE are things he said and did to people who didn't agree with his commandments and laws before the age of grace we now live in.
The other thing he did, was put himself on a cross for our sins. he paid once, and for all our sin debt to God with his own blood. He became our substitute and our sacrifice for sin. God made Christ pay for what we've done wrong all our lives, and once you trust him, and his death, burial, and resurrection FROM death, for your sin-debt, justification and sanctification, you will be saved. Not a second sooner.
It's never too late for you. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and ye shall be saved.

Jesus was much more interested in talking with people with doubts. Because he gave them the answers they needed.
The people Jesus had little patience with were those who were sure they already had all the answers. There was nothing He could do for them.

If Jesus could return he would admonish all the phoney Christians and the exploitation of his life.
peace out

The current version of Jesus is very different from the original

Thomas was a follower of Jesus. Do you follow Jesus?
Sorry if you got your feeling hurt....but truth is truth and your doubts cannot change it.

St. John 20:27
"Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and trust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing."

Sorry. I get frustrated with my brothers and sisters in Christ (and myself) for doing the same thing. Just remember, we are all human. We are striving for perfection, but have not yet reached it.
