Making Jesus 'In Our Own Image'
Sometimes it is best if we limit our comments.
This is one of those times. If we let you know just how disgusted we are with these figurines we'd end up committing a mortal sin and we're not even Catholic.
Here's all we'll say on the matter.
These figurines are available for purchase thanks to the marketing efforts of a company called "Fishermen, Inc.". This clever company has made it possible for you to pick and choose the Jesus that best fits your personal tastes and hobbies. The idea here is to make a Jesus in your own image. (Isn't that the very definition of an idol?)
We're still waiting for them to make a Jesus that is appealing to middle-aged, over-weight, balding, couch potatoes. That's a Jesus that many of us could REALLY relate with.

They forgot, "I am blasphemy".

This is unbelievable that a supposedly "Christian" company could produce such vile trash! MY savior who suffered and bled is made a mockery of by this!!! I can not remember the last time I was this furious with anyone! Whoever made this junk CANNOT possibly be a true follower of the Christ of scripture!!!

WOW! Talk about "Fashion of the Christ. To think this would come from a " Christian company too. Last Days Apostasy is in full swing, for sure. Maranatha! Come Lord Yeshua (Jesus)

regarding the mountain climbing Jesus figure -- I guess the temptation to throw himself off the pinnacle of the temple wasn't good enough? yeesh. I can't believe people thought this would actually be a good idea and put money into it!

At first I thought this was a joke on the Burger King character. For selling burgers, it's a pretty funny ad campaign. For making an idol of the Lord -- well, it's clearly blasphemy.
I pray the Lord these people will see the truth and repent.
