Why are liberals so opposed to the teachings of Jesus Christ?

Answer 1

Good question since christ was one of the most radical liberals in history.

Answer 2

As many people have reported, even nevertheless Christians ensue to be the religious majority in this usa, usa isn't a "Christian usa" that's an earthly usa. No the place interior the form does is state that Christianity is the religion of the state. in certainty it states very for sure there is to be separation of Church and State and that absolutely everyone people are to be allowed to freely elect their religious perspectives. a place like Iran is a non secular state, yet no longer usa. That reported, Liberals at the instant are not detrimental to the classes of Jesus. yet many are detrimental to all of the stuff that have been given tacked on later by skill of Paul and his followers and additionally by skill of the great prepared religions that sprang up after Jesus became long long gone. The values of Jesus are easily very liberal. He noted justice, equality, peace, tolerance, popularity of the marginalized, etc. looks to me a great style of so-called Christians do no longer carry on together with his teachings o.k.. Oh, and there are various politically liberal Christians.

Answer 3

When I was a Christian I was very much in favour of Jesus teachings. I believed they were the most important thing in thew bible and was sorrowes by many Christians holding predjudices that did not fit in with those teachings.

Somewhere around Mathew 22:31-46 as there are no specific verses in this copy, page 66 for those with the message.

One of their religious scholars (pharisees) spoke for them, posing a question they hoped would show him up: "Teacher, which command in God's Law is the most important?"

Jesus said " 'Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.' This is the most important, the first in any list. But there is a second to set alonside it: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.' These two commands are pegs; everything in Gods Law and the prophets hangs from them"
and to love you neighbour.

Love does not involve hate of any kind it involves love alone, to live and witness these are the things we need to do. Love also allows people to make mistakes without condemming them and in this way you draw more to the flock rather than push them away.

Answer 4

Why do you think "liberals" are opposed to the teachings of Jesus?

Do not judge others, show compassion, turn the other cheek, have faith...These teachings have been embraced by progressives.

Why is it that Conservatives are so opposed to these teachings?

Answer 5

From what I understand, teaching or talking about Christ in front of those who don't want to listen "violates" their right to believe they way they want to.

Doesn't make much sense to me, because the reverse should be equally important but it's not. When it comes down to it, we just need to be open to each other; and not let one persons view (that doesn't impede or affect us at all) offend us. We all have the right to believe in anything we want. As long as we don't "force" it, talking about is OK. In this world most everyone feels like a victim, and always needs to be right, religion and faith is no exception.

Answer 6

I'm a liberal. I believe that some things attributed to Jesus of Nazareth are wise and some things are incredibly bone-headed, like any person...he wasn't perfect and neither are we.

The whole crux of it is not the teachings, it's the divinity. Human beings just aren't divine.

Answer 7

I feel like I am probably as liberal as can be. Because God gave us free will knowing that some of us would choose the wrong way. Why is mankind so arrogant that even though God in his infinite wisdom chooses to give us free will he feels he has the right to take that away.
I am not a control freak who feels the need to make everyone do what I feel is serving God. I am a Christian, I read the bible everyday. So why do you feel that I have to do what you say?
Why do Republicans feel they have the right to tell others what to do?
You are so protective of the unborn but think nothing of sending boys straight out of high school to die in your foreign wars.
Now that is what is obscene. You want to take away our right to worship god the way we want, that is obscene.

Answer 8

The darkness hates the Light.

When you suggest that there are absolute truths about right and wrong, as Jesus taught, then that would bring to light (in anyone, not just liberals) their own sin nature. If you succumb to the belief that sin is sin, and you are sinning, then you may feel compelled to stop it, and if you don't you might have to feel guilty about it....better to just not know and reject it all....and take a chance it is all false anyway.....

Everyone becomes converted in the end...in life or in death, they will become a believer.

Answer 9

I personally have do not like labels, like liberal or conservative, when used to set people against each other. We are all God's children, and should constantly be working to help each other grow in love and faith of Him. God sure doesn't see labels.

Answer 10

very few of us are against his actual teachings of love, acceptance, tolerance and brotherhood...what we are against are self righteous chrisitian hypocrites who use his teachings to justify involving themselves in everyone else's private lives...we are against the idea that our President hides behind his religion to dupe people into believing he is a decent human being...we are against the fact that people use a religion to divide and sub categorize people...it is a lot like Ghandi said "I like your Christianity, it is the Christians that scare me." I don't care what the Bible says and I don't want it influencing public policy...leave abortion alone, leave science and evolution alone...go live on an island with none of the benefits you decry...in short we don't hate Jesus or his teachings...we hate you...
