I mean, Jesus was a raging liberal!
Blessed are the *peacemakers* for they shall be called children of God. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth. Turn the other cheek. Love your enemy. All this stuff is in the Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5-6).
JC was not stingy with the free health care. Ask Lazarus. How many lepers/sick people is the man said to have cured? He stood up for prostitutes. Remember 'let he who has not sinned cast the first stone'? He fed the hungry - didn't he feed the 5000?

He tore up tables onece! Look at the hundreds of other actions by Jesus in the Bible - what's more indicitive of JC's attitude.
Don't forget that turning over the tabels led to his arrest. No arrest means no conviction, no crucifiction, no resurection and no Christianity.

Christians don't seem to care what's in the Bible, and unlike Jesus, they seem to care about the religions of the people pointing this out....which they'd know was contrary to the actions of Jesus in the Bible if they'd read it.

It would be delightful.
People forget that Jesus was a master insurrectionist; he purposefully chose festival time to incite the people, knowing the local government wouldn't be able to handle it and would call in the Romans. He orchestrated his arrest and even his trial, because Pontius Pilate gave him several "outs".
But even then, he did it in a peaceful manner, NEVER preaching hatred, just pointed out the laws of the Jewish community and talking baout how to better yourself.

Why did the Crusades effect in greater deaths then the war in Iraq situations 20? And the crusades the place interior the call of Jesus, so technically Bush has a thank you to go. And as much as i've got faith Bush Jr. merits to be shot and strangled, I would desire to admit he by no ability killed anybody, nor did he condemn the dying of anybody. each soldier, sailor, Marine, airman all enlisted of their very own unfastened will, signed the contract for 3 years energetic, 4 years inactive, swearing their allegience to the country. whilst being shot at, they shoot back and kill human beings attempting to kill them, so back, Bush Jr. by no ability killed anybody.

Rev 19: 11-16,
Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He [fn5] had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in [fn6] fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a [fn7] sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

If all Christians were more along the lines of Christ and his teachings what kind of world would this become? Though I do agree that we should all at least attempt to walk in his footsteps.

God sent Jesus down as an example and to die for our sins. He tried to teach us many life lessons because we are sinners. He tells us to love our enemies and be kind. Sure, we cant do everything he does: feeding the 5000, and raise someone from the dead, but we can take his examples and use them for good. Love your enemies as you do your friends and treat everyone with kindness. God Bless!
For more information, look in the Bible, its our handbook on life.

If they did, there would be a lot more Christians in the world. Gandi said, "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians.
They are so unlike your Christ."
That pretty much sums it up.
