If Jesus is everything the bible said he was and his character remains the same in the modern era your average american Christian wouldn't much care for Jesus or his messages.
Thats a very debatable thing. Context is very important, hell some of the last words of jesus in the bible are about taking out context or adding context that isnt there to it. Someone that learns about what jesus talked about through something like a "jesus's words only" version of the bible would get a VERY skewed picture of the whole thing.
In context to the stuff around the things jesus says (and often in context to the question asked of jesus and the situation in which the question was asked) is often just teaching to not be an asshole along with his talk of redemption and his talk of punishment.
