Where did you read about Jesus?The Jesus of the Bible is far more “left” than an American evangelical.
He never trusted The State. They nailed Him to a cross. He was Left and did not te stva Right State of the day. So if the Left of today loves the State who does not let Jesus into the schoolhouse or courthouse and the Right favors Jesus who wants Him everywhere, where would Jesus be today? My take is that he would demand redistribution of wealth yet leave or limit the State’s involvement in the process.
Again, he did not live in a democracy. We cannot say what his position would be in a modern democracy.
Y’all seem to think legislating abortion is fine, but not legislating feeding the poor?
Again, Jesus still does not live in a Democracy. A democracy, just like a dictatorship, communism, or socialism is manmade. Further, Jesus mandates that I feed the poor, is measuring me daily on it, and does not give a shit as to what or how the State measured me on it. You threw abortion in to the argument. He did not weigh one way or the other on the specific act but clearly loved Life, the Church, and Children. Come Judgement Day, I’d rather rely on my track record for feeding the poor directly vs. pointing to my tax returns and support of the State as a basis for entering the Kingdom.
When Jesus walked the earth, he was never given the opportunity to vote for legislators that create the budget for a government so we don't know how he would feel about it. I can't imagine the Jesus I've read about supporting cuts to government aid to the poor and to children.
You know there are literally libraries of books written about the chap, right?
