Bernie Sanders espouses more Christian values than any of the other presidential candidates

[I amso IR]

I have never been a Liberal/Rabid/Progressive/Socialist/Marxist/Leninist/Nazi/Left Leaning Infidel. However, I may vote the Democrat ticket in the hopes that this nation gets what it appears to yearn for, That would be a Liberal/Rabid/Progressive/Socialist/Marxist/Leninist/Nazi/Left Leaning Infidel Leader who is "light years" to the left of it's current leader. Then on the other hand, NAH! "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do", again, and again, and again.

Oh now he's getting Jesus comparisons. When he's the one who supports abortions.

 

[Iceweasel]

Remember when Jesus chided the Romans to pay their "Fair share" and railed against the Roman 1%?

Yeah, me neither

You've clearly forgotten Matthew 22:37-39.

Not to mention Matthew 19:24, Mark 10:25, and Luke 18:25.

When you've studied those, there are plenty more where they came from.

Matthew 22:37-39New International Version (NIV)
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’a]">[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.

Matthew 19:24New International Version (NIV)
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.

Mark 10:25New International Version (NIV)
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.

Luke 18:25New International Version (NIV)
25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.



What's that got to do with taxing the rich? I studied it for at least 20 years so maybe I missing something?



What's that got to do with taxing the rich?

To the not-very-smart, clearly nothing.

Try wiggling out of Matthew 22:21.

I have nothing to wiggle out of, I'm not the one trying to use the Bible without understanding it.

Matthew 22:21New International Version (NIV)
15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not?”


18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”


21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.

Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.

Paying taxes isn't unbiblical, Christians are supposed to honor man's law. That could be a 1% tax rate or 99%, it doesn't say. But it was way lower then.

That wasn't really the point of the account though. They were trying to trap him because he was preaching he was above man's law.

 

[Iceweasel]

Oh now he's getting Jesus comparisons. When he's the one who supports abortions.

The Authorized Libtard Version says it's just organic tissue. Unless the mom wants it, then at that moment it becomes a baby.

 

[I amso IR]

Not too bad "Ice", not bad at all. Next time put a "cap" on Him as He was above man's law. Still, not bad at all.

 

[Theowl32]

Conservative here. I need to take a minute to express my respect for Bernie Sanders.

This guy espouses what Jesus Christ taught us; love, compassion, fairness, taking care of the poor. I am so grateful he decided to run for president. We are witnessing history here people.



There will never be a healthy middle class as long as the 1% control 99% of the wealth in the nation.

Actually Christ says we fight not against flesh and bone but against principalities.

Nowhere Does He Claim that we are to put our faith in governments and depend on them to feed the poor and clothe the naked.

Anyone promoting these things are enemies of God and yes that includes the Lenninist pope.

I wonder why why this pathetic communist decided to honeymoon in the old USSR and Cuba. Any reason you think this false Jew who is a wolf in sheep's clothing would do that?

You think he espouses pro life stances? You had better get your right thinking op. You are clearly being fooled by false speech. Get a clue.

Kindly show us the tax rate charts during Caesar's time in order to prove that you know "it was way lower then."

As to your first sentence, if Jesus returned today and told you to stop bitching about taxes, would you head for the lumber yard?

Cool... Godless heathens channeling Jesus.

Yeah, me neither

Progressive talking Jesus makes nails on a blackboard sound like Mozart

He sort of railed against them, a few times Frankie

Like when he SAID:

It would be easier for a camel to make it through an eye of a needle than to make it in to Heaven....

or in the Bible in James 2, where it states NOT TO EVER give favoritism to the rich man...vs. the poor man.

or when it was stated in the Bible that all the greedy rich will be thrown in to the lake of fire in the end times, along with all liars....

Honey Boo Boo, he wasn't addressing the Romans. Please, please, please I beg you and your fellow progressive to go back and read the source. He wasn't looking to Rome for free shit

 

[Care4all]

the Pharisees were upset that they had to pay taxes(tithes) to the theocratic Jewish authorities AND also pay taxes to the Romans...

and when Jesus was asked about it by them, trying to trick Him in to supporting a revolt against the Romans for taxing them as well, is when Jesus told them in so many words, to just pay their taxes to the Foreign gvt too... Pay unto Caesar, what is his....

They say unto him, Caesar's.

Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

 

[Care4all]

Bernie's ideas and plans are honorable, but they will not solve our problems.... he and trump, are one man shows, though different shows...

Unfortunately for their supporters, unless Congress is completely wiped out and changes hands... neither of these two men will accomplish anything as President, in reaching their goals and promises.

There will never be a healthy middle class as long as the 1% control 99% of the wealth in the nation.

If Bernie Sanders is the nominee of the DNC he will get creamed in a national election. You'll probably also lose more seats in the Senate and House--because most people for a straight ticket.

Bernie Sanders is not a democrat he is a SOCIALIST--and this country is center, it always has been, and it always will be. They will not elect far left or far right candidates. This country will never vote for FREE college tuition. The majority knows that someone will pay for it, and they know it will be themselves. Frankly, even if by some miracle he became President, you would finally see Democrats & Republicans work together to shut him down on his policies. Sanders would be cay-holed immediately with NO support in the Senate or the House, making for a HORRIBLE President.

So this is what to expect if Sanders is your nominee. Just move the blue portion over to New Hampshire and Vermont and color the rest RED.

Reagan v Mondale--1984

Hillary Clinton can win this election. She is going into this race with a 6 to 10 point advantage as being the 1st woman Presidential nominee in this nations history, and women will be voting heavily for her. Women rule today as the largest voting block, and it was they that delivered a second term to Barack Obama.

Gender Gap in 2012 Vote Is Largest in Gallup's History

Trump and his supporters have chased off 17% of the population, Hispanics when the GOP nominee needs to capture at least 46% of this block to win the White House. Trump is polling at a Negative 75% with this block. They are now solidly in Hillary Clinton column.

GOP Win Will Need More Than 40 Percent Of Latino 2016 Vote, Says Study

Republicans are the minority party at 41 million, Democrats are stronger at 46 million, and Independents are the largest party today, representing 40% of the entire electorate.

These numbers say that Hillary Clinton can paint this country blue from sea to shining sea. Republicans only hope is a Bernie Sanders nominee.

Don't be STUPID--vote for Hillary Clinton in the primary

I don't have an invested interest in your education, I'm here solely to point out the fact that you are full of shit and have no clue what the Bible means. And since I haven't complained about my taxes your pantload of shit is overflowing.

That's nice. Did you tell them if Jesus wanted you to pay 99% of your income to Caesar, you'd be cool with it?
