Do you think Jesus liked religion?

Answer 1

Nah, I think he liked chillin with the disciples and chatting with normal people. He was disgusted with hypocrites, like the Pharisees and Saducees. I think He would be disappointed in many of us.

GREAT question!

Answer 2

No, he didn't. He was once quoted as saying "What? Would you offer Me a recompense?" He was speaking to the scribes and Pharisees who were trying to administer to the spiritual needs of the people based on THEIR OWN interpretation of the Word, then tried to have Jesus validate it! This way, they thought they could trick Him into saying Christianity was unnecessary. Of course, Jesus tossed their "offer" right back in their face in the aforementioned verse......

Answer 3

Jesus never ever called his teachings religion.

Answer 4

Surely Jesus liked the religion when he said "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one title will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled (Bible-Mathew:5:17-18).

But christians are hesitant to accept this hard fact.

Answer 5

I think so. He was Jewish and for the most part followed His religion's ceremonies and rituals.

Of course He recognized a hypocrite when He saw one; just as many Jews, Christians, and Muslims do today.

Answer 6

He liked the Jewish religion, but he is shocked by the mess that was invented using his name. People should be ashamed to use Jesus' name in vain.

Answer 7

No. He did/does not. Humans have made a mess out of religion. All religions have truths within them, but none are correct and without error.

Answer 8

Yes. He preached much about brotherhood and gathering together for the purpose of understanding and enter-acting
with others. Chruches serve this purpose.

Answer 9

Actually he didn't. He called the scribes and pharisees hypocrites.
Matthew 6:1-8 says: “Take good care not to practice YOUR righteousness in front of men in order to be observed by them; otherwise YOU will have no reward with YOUR Father who is in the heavens.  Hence when you go making gifts of mercy, do not blow a trumpet ahead of you, just as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to YOU, They are having their reward in full.  But you, when making gifts of mercy, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing,  that your gifts of mercy may be in secret; then your Father who is looking on in secret will repay you.

“Also, when YOU pray, YOU must not be as the hypocrites; because they like to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the broad ways to be visible to men. Truly I say to YOU, They are having their reward in full.  You, however, when you pray, go into your private room and, after shutting your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; then your Father who looks on in secret will repay you.  But when praying, do not say the same things over and over again, just as the people of the nations do, for they imagine they will get a hearing for their use of many words. So, do not make yourselves like them, for God YOUR Father knows what things YOU are needing before ever YOU ask him."

So Jesus made at least three points - that we are not to "blow a trumpet in front of us when we do good works" and that we are not to pray the same prayer over and over, and are not to let our prayers "be visible to men."

Answer 10

I think he pretty much despised religion. He talked about not being like those who pray in public for the recognition they got. He advised to pray in private.
