It isn't "carved" all over the US currency.
It's printed.
And what do you think? He wants everyone to distrust him? ?

An interesting question, if one likely to stir up a bit of controversy.
The entire give to Ceasar what is Ceasar's had nothing to do with money - other than to point out that it's not important to God. The amount of $ a person has at the end of their life, or what is written on that money is not going to matter one whit in the religous sense. It is what that person has done with their life, who they have helped and how they have behaved.
So to answer your question, I don't think Jesus would really care at all what was written on any currancy.

God should get all the credit.
The reason why the Government done this perhaps was so us believes would play their game since God's name is on the currency.
What's that verse in the new Test.... When Jesus ask who's likeness is this on the coin, someone said it's Cesar. Jesus said, give Cesar what's his, and give God what belongs to God. (Not the word to word quote)
Do you understand what I am getting to.

Theodore Roosevelt didn't think so.
"It seems to me eminently unwise to cheapen such a motto by use on coins."
"It is a motto which it is indeed well to have inscribed on our great national monuments, in our temples of justice, in our legislative halls, and in buildings such as those at West Point and Annapolis- in short, wherever it will tend to arouse and inspire a lofty emotion in those who look thereon."

I don't know why we labeled "In God We Trust" on money.
No he wouldn't approve that. Plus Churches not suppose
to get money or pay bills.

I would imagine so...trusting in God was a key part of the teachings and message of Jesus.
Jesus never said money was bad, he said the love of money was bad and he was thinking about people with an all consuming lust and greed for more money than they needed.
Jesus was happy to pay his taxes and even miraculously manifested a coin when his temple tax was due.
He also taught the money belonged to whoever's image was on it - "render under Caesar that which is Caesar's"
Perhaps if God was on our money it would remind us that all wealth comes from him and belongs to him!

Considering the fact that God was a narcissist it is a behavioral likelihood that his son-self should be one too.
I personally think it's graffiti.

I believe it was in Mark chapter 3 that Jesus cast the money changers from the temple, but not the temple from the money.

I'd say no, as the Bible says it is hard for a rich man to get into Heaven.

No Way, he would approve of 'In Jesus We Trust' instead ;)

You know to tell the truth, I don't think so. He did say :
“Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s”
Matthew 22:21
