Which "Jesus" are you referring to? Jesus of the Bible Who said BILLIONS of humans will burn in Hell fire "forever and ever"?
You can answer from that POV if you wish. - LOL
Does everyone get to create their "own personal Jesus"?

Yes, I knew you would totally evade the Bible. As usual.

Jesus is the answer. - But what's the question?
Alex, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life?I guess a good question would be, 'why do you profess to be Christian when you reject the Christian Bible as the written Word of God'?
Dear St. SteVen,
Scripture says that Jesus is the way, the truth, the life, the Word, the Savior etc. but I cannot find any scripture which says that Jesus the answer.
What verse are you referencing that says that Jesus is the answer?

1. For salvation, Jesus is the answer.
2. As the Living Word, the written word of the Living word is the complete answer
3. The more questions is now what do we do? Study to show yourself approved-
4. What do I study? All scripture is given by inspiration and it is profitable.
Do these and not only will you be saved (#1) but live the overcoming victorious life god designed us for.
That was a bumper sticker back when I was in college circa 1970: JESUS IS THE ANSWER, BUT WHAT IS THE QUESTION? Another one I liked, when HONK IF YOU LOVE JESUS was the rage, was HONK IF YOU'RE JESUS. 
I became a Christian at that time as the result of a startling epiphany. I joined a fundamentalist group (Campus Crusade) and entered a Southern Baptist seminary, but I soon realized that I really didn't understand the questions to which Jesus is the answer either.
More than five decades later, after having trod a spiritual path with many twists and turns, I suppose I would say that the core question to which Jesus is the answer would be "How do we become right with God?" One must answer many preliminary questions (Is there a God? If so, what sort of God is there?) before arriving at the question "How do I become right with him?"

Jesus is the answer. - But what's the question?
THE QUESTION is one the whole intelligent Universe has asked because of Lucifers inference that God is not who he claims to be. The seduction of many (1/3) of the angels to Lucifer's position indicates the subtly and power with which he brought his case.'What is God really like' is the question and how could God prove he is not selfish seeing he is all powerful and anything he wants he calls into existence with a word?
The answer was most unexpected. God divesting himself of the privileges of divinity humbled himself and became a creature.
Philippians 2:6-8
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Here we see what God was/is really like...
and in the process '...having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross' Colossians 2:15

I think you can give Alexa a sex-change operation if you like, and I'll be disappointed if that doesn't get a rise out of the usual suspects.
On the Apple side, you have the option of giving Siri a male voice and personality. I would assume Alexa would have a similar option.
But no, that isn't the "Alex" I had in mind. Hint: "Alex, I'll take 'The Gospel' for $200..."

Alex Trebek: The clue is "Jesus".
Contestant: Who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life?

I was hoping my warped sense of humor wouldn't obscure that message. I failed brilliantly.

I remembered the punch line, but I had to Google the joke:
The pastor was giving the Children's Sermon. As part of the object lesson, he asks, “What is brown and furry with a big bushy tail?”
The children just sit there staring at him.
He sits quietly for a few moments waiting for one of them to answer. Sheepishly a child in the back raises his hand and says, “Preacher, I know the answer is always 'Jesus', but that sure sounds like a squirrel to me.”
