The images and idols displayed in churches around the world are not of Christ. Michelangelo first painted the most common religious image used is deceiving the world today. It is a picture of a blue-eyed European who they maliciously claim to be Jesus Christ. This false image was modeled after Cesare Borgia, who was the second son of Pope Alexander VI, of Rome.
