If Jesus was alive today, he would be attacked by conservatives

[dfens]

as a "snowflake" liberal do-gooder who is interested in peace, forgiveness, and reconciliation, and not a man who wants to make a ton of money and kill his enemies

 

[Blackrook]

Jesus never talked about politics. For example, he never took sides in the conflict between the Roman occupiers and the Jewish rebellion. He told Pontius Pilate that his kingdom was of heaven, not of the Earth.

Si vis pacem, para bellum (Classical Latin: [siː wɪs ˈpaːkẽː ˈpara ˈbɛllũː]) is a Latin adage translated as, "If you want peace, prepare for war". The adage was adapted from a statement found in Book 3 of Latin author Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus's tract De Re Militari (4th or 5th century) though the idea it conveys also appears in earlier works, such as Plato's Nomoi (Laws)

The Bible does not condemn war, and in fact, the Hebrews are often commanded to go to war.

 

[S.J.]

He IS alive today, and conservatives are not attacking him, liberals attack him.

 

[Blackrook]

Liberals hate Jesus, and everything he stands for.

Right he just went after the elite Jews running the show.

He went after the religious leaders of the Jews, because religion was his business.

He never went after the secular authority, which was the Romans, or King Herod.

Yes, they are quite similar to the Christians and the Muslims in that way.

So how long have you been an intolerant ex-Christian?

You are right, the OT is full of it. Men used God way back then , same as some do today.

No problems with Jesus....however, the hypocrites who claim to be christians......they are another thing altogether. In fact, patriarchal religions like Islam, Christianity, and Judaism leave a great deal to be desired.

Jesus taught accountability. I'm pretty sure people with an external locus of control would be the ones attacking His message.

There are no left wing Christians.

Untrue. Jesus advocated personal responsibility and private charity, not Big Government Income and Wealth Redistribution.
