If Jesus were alive today would he be a hard line, evangelical, hate spewing right winger?

Question

My guess is no, so why do many right wing evangelicals fall into that trap?

Answer 1

No, he more than likely would be spreading the love as a Pagan.
)o( Blessed Be!

Answer 2

--THE Jesus the Bible publishes, has nothing to do with the clergy of the churches NOR their methods!

--THIS IS the type of person Jesus would have remained if it indeed was purposed for him to remain on earth for a full duration of life:

*** gt The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived ***
--A Historical Person
.........respected historian Will Durant argued: “That a few simple men should in one generation have invented so powerful and appealing a personality, so lofty an ethic and so inspiring a vision of human brotherhood, would be a miracle far more incredible than any recorded in the Gospels.”

--PLEASE FOCUS on what Durant expressed as to Christs unique qualities as a person, NOT GOD, nor a GOD MAN, but as he was the Christ!

--THERE IS no indication that Christ would have been corrupted by politics, false religion , greedy commercialism --NOR any influence that Satan could conjure up against him!
--THIS IS because everything that he faced, as to any corruption he conquered, WITH GOODNESS & RIGHTEOUSNES:

(1 Peter 2:21-23) “21 In fact, to this [course] YOU were called, because even Christ suffered for YOU, leaving YOU a model for YOU to follow his steps closely. 22 He committed no sin, nor was deception found in his mouth. 23 When he was being reviled, he did not go reviling in return. When he was suffering, he did not go threatening, but kept on committing himself to the one who judges righteously. . .”

Answer 3

Jesus was not some kind of peace-love-and-flowers hippie. He said in Matthew 10:34, "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."

I don't think you can throw Jesus in the right-wing bin, and he certainly does not spew hatred, but he is very much hard-line. "Evangelical" simply means those who present the Gospel -- Jesus not only did that, he invented it!

So, Jesus would be both hard-line and evangelical, but not hate-spewing. "Right winger" is meaningless in this context.

Answer 4

No, he would be the same as always. We humans are the ones who can not seem to stop judging and attacking each other. Jesus said we are like sheep who need a shepherd. Sheep are known for following the herd blindly, even to their own death. That does not make hard line, evangelicals evil, just human.

Answer 5

No. I think he'd cringe at that. Ancient people were just as hard line, evangelical, and hate-spewing as many people are today, and I think that's exactly what Jesus originally tried to coax people away from.

Answer 6

He will tell all Christians that He never said to any one that He is son of God and God Himself. This is written in Quran.

No Jesus will not hate any one. Most Christians will follow Jesus fully. It is the same religion that God gave to Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohammad. Jesus will teach the same Message of God to all humanity and most of them will follow the real Islam including Christians. And that will be even better than today's ISLAM. Today USA and West does not allow Muslims to enforce laws of Quran - Shariah Laws in their countries but want secular government to exploit the whole world.

Jesus will come and enforce the Laws made by God. Then sovereign ruler of world will be God and Jesus and later leaders will be the representatives of God enforcing Gods Laws on earth. AND THAT WILL BE THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN....because God will be ruling on entire world sitting in heaven. These are the real meanings of Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus will not be the King but Rep of King God. This is where Christians are making mistake in giving you wrong interpretation of the phrase 'Kingdom of Heaven'.

Answer 7

No, He wouldn't -- but He wouldn't go around preaching feel-good things that everybody wants to hear, either.

Read the Gospels, and you'll see that He said plenty of things that unsettled people and ruffled their feathers.

Jesus was about love, true, but that doesn't mean that He didn't "blow the whistle" on people when He had to.

That doesn't mean that He was in favor of "tolerance" of every sick behavior out there.

And it doesn't mean that He was a wimp. He took on sin, and He took on religious indignation, and everything in between that was "out of bounds."

.

Answer 8

No. But he'd likely be under FBI observation once the government realizes he's a dangerous lunatic likely to found a fringe cult that doesn't agree with traditional Christian values.

Answer 9

Does everyone how disagrees with you lifestyle fall into the category of hate?

Answer 10

Good point but Jesus is alive today.No, He's exactly who He's always been.Many of these "hard line" types would be wise to take note of this too.Thanks.
