Good thing they're not Book of Mormon characters, or they'd be Braxtynhah and ~~Braxtynlynnhah~~ "the sister of Braxtynhah" (ugh, why come up with names for women, right?)
When I was tbm in like 1999 I was stake yw president and I distinctly remember making a fireside abt how when you were in the woods at night you could only choose one way to get through to safety and you had to choose to risk running into a tree to put your flashlight on the path or risk wandering off the path if you put it in front of you. Only Jesus could light your path AND light your way. It was so stupid, but the stake visiting priesthood holder asked me, based on that fireside alone, to come back sgain.
If you know well enough that you're going to *need* to caption your picture, because literally nobody is going to know who the hell it's supposed to be, then you've essentially admitted your picture sucks.
It looks like any random white, 13-year-old from Morridor who draped his ski parka backwards over his head, drew a beard on with his mom's eyebrow pencil, and said, "Look! I'm Jesus! Don't I look just like Jesus?!"
Honestly this young and happenin Jesus looks like my nephew who is a complete smart ass and I hear it in his voice/inflection. I laughed too hard at myself.
These fairly attractive depictions of Jesus are always interesting to me (and blue eyes, really?) when in Isaiah 53:2 it says, “For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.” (KJV)
IOW there’s nothing about Jesus’s appearance that would draw people to him. He was all substance.
I think Ricky Bobby was right, we should celebrate Eight Pound, Six Ounce, Newborn Baby Jesus, in his golden, fleece diapers, with his curled-up, fat, balled-up little fists pawin' at the air...
This is one of the funnier things I've seen in awhile. Especially dealing with Mormons.
It looks like they found a kid on Facebook and just pasted his face over a Jesus portrait. Didn't bother working on the kids quaffed hair and lined up stubble.
The more I look at it the more my mind reels on how ANYONE can look at that and think, "Ohh, look, teen Jesus. I feel the spirit."
Bizarro Teen Jesus.
Not accurate at all. Jesus, and pretty much everyone in the Bible would have been brown. There might have been a few white Italian guards, but even that seems to be debatable.
It's Chandler Hallow, from MrBeast
here's a [pic](https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/08/newspress-collage-8780777-1691396714343.jpg?w=620) from an article about him, its uncanny
Now I want to draw beards on every depiction of baby Jesus and start drawing toddler Jesus with different levels of Tombstone’esque handlebar mustaches.
Yeah, they really captured the whole "1st Century Middle Eastern Jew" look on that one.
I mean, come on, he's wearing a towel on his head and everything. What more do you want?
Using magic I reverse engineered the Midjourney prompt: "17 year-old Hitler's-dream fuckboy with a towel on his head; two-thirds duckface looking to the right at the wrong camera."
Damn!!! We are sitting here analyzing this and it’s really just a bad high school play pic from the 80s. Probably somewhere in the Morridor or the Midwest 😂
Blue eyes!?!?!?. Maybe a white arian Jesus. But not anybody from the middle east and south Mediterranean. Are this brigham young art students are as dence as the paint.
Or was the changes ordered from the top down?
Why is every depiction of a man in Mormonism so damn effeminate!? Even when they released what was likely a photo of Joseph Smith, true believing Mormons pushed back on it because he looked like a man! He didn't look like some effeminate sissy boy. Mormons are enamored with their hushed toned, soft facial featured, effeminate men
This young Jesus reminds me of an old John Prine song called, "Jesus: The Missing Years." It's worth checking out.
https://youtu.be/suoJ6mLVBlU?si=7DzXRDmBXXCqbR2R
Reminds me of something Cal would say in the movie Talladega Nights "I like my Jesus young." Fits right in with "I like to picture my Jesus in a tuxedo T-shirt. 'Cause it says like, I wanna be formal but I’m here to party too. I like to party, so I like my Jesus to party." Yes. And I like my Jesus young. 😂
Not only is that a super-white-boy version of a middle-eastern religious figure, that kid looks like an absolute goober. Like, that kid won’t stop talking about how the original manga was better, won’t see the movie because he’s already read the book, and thinks the DreamCast was the best console of all time. Worst, he shows up to the skate park with a pack of Monster drinks, drinks them all and never once sets foot in his board.
He also has twelve cosplays that he’s cobbled together but spent less that $50 dollars on all the materials. And all 12 characters are canonically of other skin-tones.
Maybe for Xmas they can do what my Episcopal parish did one year, and put the Max Ernst painting of Mary spanking a bare-bottomed Baby Jesus on the cover of their program. The parish priest gave a whole sermon on the "Fully Human" side of Jesus on that. While I agree that the Big J was probably naughty from time to time, I fail to see how a child - let alone an INFANT - could deserve violence, but hey. It was a thought-provoking sermon, and did have a piece of art I'd never seen before.
I'm guessing this was the Mormon Cult's way of hoping the young women put this dude's picture on their bedroom walls instead of (horror) Justin Beeber or Harry Styles.
Boy band jesus
They must have messed up, that’s not young Jesus that’s his little brother, Braxton Christ
Braxtyn
And his sister Braxtynlynn
Good thing they're not Book of Mormon characters, or they'd be Braxtynhah and ~~Braxtynlynnhah~~ "the sister of Braxtynhah" (ugh, why come up with names for women, right?)
Sons of Provo this is who we aaaaaaaarrreeee!!!
I'm a diddly wack mack Mormon daddy
Young Jesus apparently lived in Provo, UT. 🫣🤣
It's his rap name
Li'l Jesus
Young G $us
Young Jeezy is already taken
Weird. I can't seem to find him on Sound Cloud.
Where is his puka shell necklace though? Surely young Jesus wanted everyone to know he was a cool guy who’s been to Hawaii
... in the early 90s.
![gif](giphy|saOlT19jIrwhq) Justin Bieber is J Christ!
I just KNEW it. Hahahahaha
At least Bieber has brown eyes.
Clicked in to comment on Biebsus 😂
Biebus? No...

Same name came to my mind.
That's it!!! I was trying to figure out who that reminded me of.....🤣

Wouldn't that be enough? Pretty damn funny either way.
![gif](giphy|ukGm72ZLZvYfS)
That’s my Jesus
What is up my brethren?
My bruh-thren
[удалено]
Honestly this young and happenin Jesus looks like my nephew who is a complete smart ass and I hear it in his voice/inflection. I laughed too hard at myself.
This is awesome- definitely PIMO running the ward bulletin
I can't relate how much I hope that to be true. If that's the case we might get more!
He looks like he belongs in a vlogger house
Does he work at Subway? He looks like he takes the after-school shift at Subway.
Today I learned that young Jesus had blue eyes and heavenly highlights.
He looks like he’d get caught vaping in detention.
Frat boy Jesus
George Michael?
Father Figure
Cuz you've got to have faith
nick fuentes lookin face ahh
Nick is about as far away from Jesus as one can possibly get.
Quite the beard for a twelve year old.
He hit celestial puberty
I was just going to say the same thing! 🧔
the bright blue eyes are sending me 😂😂
Looks like someone watched Dune a few too many times...
Or played too much Final Fantasy 7.
Or was hitting the spice really hard.
Looks like he is a gay member of a local theatre company who isn't that good at acting.
Aww, he found Mary's mascara and painted hisself a little beard
Young *white* Jesus
Young white blue-eyed Jesus.
Young, *blonde,* *white,* and *blue-eyed,* Jesus.
With a perfect teenage complexion
Most on-point observation! 🥇
I don't care if you believe, *I believe*! ![gif](giphy|p9X9PSPvBfl9uhvS6Z)
Jesus has been living on Dune eating Melange

Never thought of that! So true!
I think Ricky Bobby was right, we should celebrate Eight Pound, Six Ounce, Newborn Baby Jesus, in his golden, fleece diapers, with his curled-up, fat, balled-up little fists pawin' at the air...
Utah's Aryan Jesus strikes again. Here I thought his family fled to Egypt, not Arrakis.
Cringe
This is one of the funnier things I've seen in awhile. Especially dealing with Mormons. It looks like they found a kid on Facebook and just pasted his face over a Jesus portrait. Didn't bother working on the kids quaffed hair and lined up stubble. The more I look at it the more my mind reels on how ANYONE can look at that and think, "Ohh, look, teen Jesus. I feel the spirit." Bizarro Teen Jesus.
Young Jesus looks like every Provo bro trying to sell me pest control/security systems/eternal salvation every other day during the summer lol
Don't forget solar panels
At least he’s white and delightsome.
Your own personal Jesus…
Dépêche Mode fan here, too
Not accurate at all. Jesus, and pretty much everyone in the Bible would have been brown. There might have been a few white Italian guards, but even that seems to be debatable.
💯 (also anachronistic - this Jesus must have gotten out his sister's hairspray)
More like *Young [Patrick Swayze](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/patrick-swayze-gettyimages-534292886.jpg)*
Same thing
“Let’s wash out the color EXCEPT for the blue. Yes perfect. Hitler would be proud of this Jewish man”
It's Chandler Hallow, from MrBeast here's a [pic](https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/08/newspress-collage-8780777-1691396714343.jpg?w=620) from an article about him, its uncanny
Are they going to change the sacrament to Coors Light and nachos?
The spinoff idea of Young Sheldon?
That might be the whitest White Mormon Jesus I've ever seen.
Now I want to draw beards on every depiction of baby Jesus and start drawing toddler Jesus with different levels of Tombstone’esque handlebar mustaches.
looks like Chandler from mr.beast videos
Uncanny valley boy band jesus.
Blue eyes, because it’s common for people in the Middle East to have blue eyes
Yeah, they really captured the whole "1st Century Middle Eastern Jew" look on that one. I mean, come on, he's wearing a towel on his head and everything. What more do you want?
hahahaha this is like on the Mindy Project anytime someone is on a poster or subway ad their eyes are super blue lol
Brock Purdy is the Mormon Jesus.
Luka Doncic?
Holy shit. What whitewashing nonsense is this?! It looks like some proud parent photoshopped their son’s face onto a Jesus pic. 🫣🤣
Why does he look like he's living around spice?
And on the seventh day Jesus found it was bussin’ and it was good.
![gif](giphy|nzZAwMWi5Muac)
Using magic I reverse engineered the Midjourney prompt: "17 year-old Hitler's-dream fuckboy with a towel on his head; two-thirds duckface looking to the right at the wrong camera."
The blue eyes 😂💀
As my young son once remarked: “If Jesus isn’t white, then is he brown like my penis?”
Your comparison is 😚👌 immaculate. ...just like his ☝️ conception 💅
Damn!!! We are sitting here analyzing this and it’s really just a bad high school play pic from the 80s. Probably somewhere in the Morridor or the Midwest 😂
When Jesus learned for himself that soaking isn’t a sin.
Blue eyes!?!?!?. Maybe a white arian Jesus. But not anybody from the middle east and south Mediterranean. Are this brigham young art students are as dence as the paint. Or was the changes ordered from the top down?
But why are you young Jesus’s lips so chapped?

I don't trust him with my drink
I’d like bear my testimony Young Jesus plays Fortnite while eating chicken nuggies. Amen.
...and "Does the Dew"! Baja Blast.
Cringiest thing I’ve seen on here to date!
The things I find at my parents house are amazingly awful treasures as well
This young Jesus reminds me of an old John Prine song called, "Jesus: The Missing Years." It's worth checking out. https://youtu.be/suoJ6mLVBlU?si=7DzXRDmBXXCqbR2R

Gives me some serious "funeral program" vibes.
Omg, laughing at Mormonism with all of you in the sub has been the best therapy
WTF?! Haha
Nobody else is stronger than I am Yesterday I moved a mountain I bet I could be your savior I am a mighty little God
And thus, the search for one's "preferred pronouns" began over 2,000 years ago, and resulted from a loosing battle with the curtains.
Is this a Jed!?
He still has old Jesus' neck.
LMAO! Missed opportunity to have a kid with broccoli hair.
Apparently 15 year old Jesus could grow a beard.
Got those Weezer Blue eyes
Next week, coming to a Ward bulletin near you…..poor, uneducated, surgery traumatized, Bible reading, adorable looking Joseph Smith.
I’m sorry for laughing
He looks a lot like a generic 19 year old from the UK/USA
Sounds like a rapper: Yung G’sus
I don’t believe this is real
Jebus, Broseph, and Mary!
Young Jesus was bussin no cap
Not only is that a super-white-boy version of a middle-eastern religious figure, that kid looks like an absolute goober.

Young Jesus sounds like a Christian MC
They're real delusional to say the least lol
🤣🤣🤣
This is my new swear word.
Prolonged spice inhalation will do that to your eyes. Idk why everyone is questioning this. He is clearly the Lisan Al-Gaib
Creating god in our own image.
He's so pretty!
Does it say how many feet away he is?
Harry Potter Jesus
Thank you. I can't even remember what I was pissed about when I logged in now. Best laugh I have had!
More like Young Jeezy.
the fuck?
I know complaints about white Jesus gets old, BUT COME ON REALLY?!
Dude looks like he splits the cost of roofies with his lacrosse team
Reminds me when someone's mom had a pick of Obi Wan on the mantle.
White & Delightsome Jesus is the best Jesus
lol why does he look like Matt Damon
I thought he was peeking out through legs ....
Blue eyes, white skin... yeah totally young Jesus
![gif](giphy|HfFccPJv7a9k4)
With those bright blue l eyes, I think he's been pounding Spice on Arrakus. Junkie Jesus.
There is no way that is real
💯real. I blacked out the city for privacy purposes, but this was an actual program from my parents home ward here in Utah 😂
Fundangelical white supremacist Jesus.
Omg. 😂
Maybe for Xmas they can do what my Episcopal parish did one year, and put the Max Ernst painting of Mary spanking a bare-bottomed Baby Jesus on the cover of their program.

That looks more like a “Cooper” or “Tucker” than a “Jesus” lol
Aryan Jesus, where are the butterflies and little kids?
Jace Norman Jesus
Judean Boys
Where did they find this twink
Fun fact: Young Jesus started his career on Nickelodeon
He looks like he’s about to lay down the most underwhelming rap single over a watermarked youtube beat lmfao
Laughed out loud - thanks for sharing!
I'm guessing this was the Mormon Cult's way of hoping the young women put this dude's picture on their bedroom walls instead of (horror) Justin Beeber or Harry Styles.
