BBC News

A leading retailer in Singapore has withdrawn a cosmetics range with a Jesus theme after complaints from local Roman Catholics, local media report.

The products included a "Virtuous vanilla" lip balm and a "Get Tight with Christ" hand and body cream, featuring a picture of Christ flanked by two adoring women.

I wish they cared as much about the Virgin Mary spray they sell in the grocery stores down here. I mean, I'm no catholic, BUT COME ON!!!
Although I have to admit, that is one attractive Jesus. No wonder the ladies love him.

The whole cosmetic thing seems very sacrilegious and disrespectful to me, considering what the message of the gospel really is, and the fact that our Savior was brutally beaten and his blood spilled at calvary for the sake of His own. Cosmetics has nothing to do with the cross and visa versa.

Image the outrage if this was about the prophet Muhammad.

Exactly.. why I think that Jesus just chuckled. If God can use a Donkey.. He can use this cosmetic line to minister.

I know this walks a fine line.. but yaknow I would love to see Jesus have his own Saturday Morning Cartoon. The untold stories of Christ that mirror the other principles he taught. The other mystic forces are involved from Power Rangers to Jackie Chan..

I want to somehow build a bridge to that. Show what Christ can do also. Make sense?

I'm with you. I would just insist it to have a modern animation style and be of a much higher quality than any Jesus cartoons I've seen in the past. Maybe anime Jesus! Serious! Make that temptation by Satan look like the most titanic battle of all time! The cleansing of the temple would be awesome.

Even tie in the untold stories of Jesus.. where he time travels back and is in the fire with Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego. Just imagine the plot that could be woven into this. Drama.. With all the creative christian writers.. it would need to be cutting edge and yet not contradict any story... but further embellish it.

Show the love of Christ being the Son of God.

That's both good and awesome. I'd definately be on board for that and there'd be absolutely no need to cornball it.

I read somewhere that some publisher is coming out with a "Manga Bible" in comic form.

I saw one in Wal Mart a couple of months ago.

But, he chose to show what he can do through His people. Mark 16:17-18

The problems lie with us if we're not walking in the power of the Holy Spirit; it won't be entertainment that makes the difference.

I see by the Catholics protesting they removed the product.
Wonder if the same thing would happen if a Pentecostal protested.

Personally, I think its another way of demeaning Jesus.
