The biographies of Jesus depict him repeatedly reaching out to those at the bottom of the social pyramid--poor people, women, Samaritans, lepers, children, prostitutes and tax collectors.
He was an advocate for the poor and oppressed, in his time....He said, the poor would inherit the earth one day....
He also 'hung out' with the dregs/sinner's of society, not to participate with their lifestyle's, but to bring them hope and forgiveness....
Also, Jesus was a strong advocate for women....He was truly concerned about the horrible treatment of women during his time...Wouldn't you say He was the first woman's libber? He forgave the adulterous woman at the well.
And rebuked those who wanted to stone a prositute.......
Jesus, was himself, homeless.....It is no wonder he associated with the disadvantaged and underprivileged.
What are your thoughts? Was Jesus a liberal?

I don't think Jesus would want any part of our corrupt political establishment in general. Both liberal and conservative have very nobel ideas behind them, too bad our politicians just use them as buzzwords to get elected then sell us out form both sides of the isle.

He spoke of gifting away all your worldly possessions, with the intention to make it to heaven. He sought that his followers feed the homeless of their own residences. If Christianity have been to be became right into a political shape, or rule of regulation then it may be socialist. the element is, Christianity isn't a political shape, this is own beleifs. it ought to bypass the two way, as in conservatives with super donations given to charity, or a liberal shape. in my view, I see Jesus as a liberal so a techniques as stressful charity upon the followers. the two pay up, or go through hell. yet as I mentioned, Jesus exchange into no longer a political determine, such words do no longer shop on with to what he exchange into seen to be.

If Jesus were HERE right now, he would be having marches in DC against war and fighting for LIBERAL ideals. No Con can deny this, if they actually understand what the New Testament says. Jesus was a LIBERAL leader who was against the Conservative ideals that we see today in this country.

To an extent, yes. But he also told people to "go and sin no more." That's conservative talk, not liberal. He also became angry with the greed present in the temples, and pretty much threw a righteous fit.
He was "liberal", but not in the sense that "liberals" are now.
