I believe that Jesus today would be considered either a "liberal," or a "terrorist," because of his *radical* ideas about loving others as God loves us. For the record, most would probably call me a "liberal," though I've been a Republican for 20 years (until 2000).
I try to live by Jesus' lessons; I try to live by God's 10 Commandments. I do not, and never have supported abortion. Neither do I support wholesale slaughter in pursuit of an economic or political agenda (i.e. the "war" in Iraq).
Peace.

I have to disagree that Jesus would be a liberal. Jesus was rather impatient with some issues...think about his tirade in the Temple against the money changers. Also, remember his admonition to his disciples not to preach the gospel to the gentiles. Remember his discussion with the woman at the well, where by he initially told her to leave him and she had to beg for his help with her daughter's illness..."surely even the dogs are allowed crumbs from the master's table..." and then he changed his mind and helped her because she recognized him for what he was. He also called Peter Satan, severely admonishing him for not understanding the message he had been trying to teach all along. And, Jesus was really intolerant of the Jewish religious leaders for they were hypocrites. Modern liberals are essentially tolerant of all sins...Jesus was not....notice how liberals are so quick to offer support for every kind of vile criminal, including child molesters and even support abortion...Jesus would never support such acts...he certainly understood boundaries and that some behavior was simply not acceptable. Remember his "verily" statement about "not one jot or tittle of the Law will be changed because of me." He was a very strong supporter of all the commandments and the Jewish law, the covenant and even the Laws of Moses. All those changes came after the crucifixion by way of visions and dreams of Paul, the Jew baiter and Peter (the one Jesus called Satan). Just something to think about. almost certainly, Jesus would be honored by conservatives and perhaps not so honored by liberals of today, in my opinion of the matter.

You are dull. You have a tendency to believe with a closed brain. Conservatives/Republicans are seeking to maintain a as soon as affluent country in your and their posterity as good as keep a non oppressive type of presidency. Charity is giving voluntarily, it isn't regulated by means of any govt. In up to ye have performed any of those for the least of those my brethren ye have performed it additionally even unto me. That isn't the federal government taxing us that's supply freely with out drive or coercion. Charity is from the guts, now not from the tax go back. Christ additionally taught the myth of many knowledge. Almost all people is supply a few skillability and it must be used rather of relying upon others to aid you. Nearly none of Jesus teachings have been political and all have been handiest to evangelise. When requested approximately his reign he stated my kingdom isn't of this international. Your commentary could be very slanted to the factor of obscenity. Additional: In reviewing different solutions it's well to look folks that supported the conservative part stood by means of the written phrase (a few could be revealed in crimson) even as folks that criticized failed to take action. They are not able to aid their argument with the phrases Christ truthfully stated and that's sufficient stated.

I would like to see Jesus confront the so called "Christians" of Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, James Dobson and company. The other day saw Jerry Falwell doing selling job for on line courses at Liberty University. How much it would cost you and "free gifts" one receives by enrolling at Liberty. To me this info ad for Jerry and how he can rake in more money.

Jesus was neither liberal nor conservative. He was an anarchist in that he supported none of the political systems in place. And before we start with, but what about "rendering unto Caesar"? do you think Jesus was making a distinction between earthly & heavenly powers, and which was important?
Jesus has been used over & over to push political agendas, and they have all been futile. Jesus says, "Love your neighbour as yourself."
And who is my neighbour? "Ah, that's the hard part," said Jesus.

Lately individuals have been making Jesus into what fits their own beliefs. Funny thing is, that Jesus is worried about our souls and not political beliefs. He didn't take sides! He saw us as sinning humans, and not liberals, conservatives, democrats, or republicans.
Don't forget the honorable mention of the self proclaimed Rev's Al and Jesse.

The commandment is to not use your lords name in vain.
God wanted us to be very carefull of that. and most people who claim to be christian ignore this alot.
There are not alot of true Christians. The majority follow men like the ones you named. they follow men instead of reading their bible.
It's very sad indeed to see the Lords name used for such evil.
