So if you support the Apaches who fought the Mexican imperialists then, then you support the Americans now who fight the Mexican imperialists too, right ?Loving foreigners in their own countries is fine. When they invade ours, and pillage our wealth, and make it THEIR wealth, that's a different story.
Even if true, that's the here and now. Is that what matters to a Christian because, it shouldn't.Money might be one of the anchor-chains to hell. Here's a few more >> immigration, affirmative action, Islam.Low-tax Jesus strikes again. The state in his day was the thing that nailed his naked ass to a tree. It's not exactly shocking that he didn't suggest the poor look to them for help eh?Democrats want the state to force everyone to "help" the poor and sick.Jesus said help the poor and the sick which sounds like every other democrat I know.
Jesus did not.
There you go.
And he had no issues with you paying taxes since money is the anchor-chain to Hell.
The difference is that Jesus wanted us to help the poor with out OWN money, not somebody else's.
^Before replying to the OP I want to publically clown that idiocracy. You don't need money to help people...The difference is that Jesus wanted us to help the poor with out OWN money, not somebody else's.
Jesus said help the poor and the sick which sounds like every other democrat I know. I can't figure out why so many democrats in the last few years seem hostile to Christianity. I don't expect people to accept the miracles or the whole died for my sins stuff but what about the things he said about being compassionate. Why throw that out with it? It just seems that the teachings of Jesus goes hand in hand with what being a liberal is all about.
Good analysis, I was born and raised a Christian and I feel like I never really left the church but that they left me. Read this:Jesus said help the poor and the sick which sounds like every other democrat I know. I can't figure out why so many democrats in the last few years seem hostile to Christianity.

Your post is good and something a lot of us have discussed and thought about. Jesus grew up in a time where the rich and the church were hand in hand and the people couldn't eat.
Many on the Left hate the Church because it's outlines have caused so many of the hate issues in the spotlight today. The male domination over women is in the first sentences. Also the fear of gays because the Bible says there will be many gays when the end of times comes. (Note it doesn't say it's because of gays...It does say do not judge or be judged though)
The majority of the people don't know the difference between Communism, Socialism and Capitalism. The fact is, scary Communism is the closest to Christianity. Communism is the theory that we have an abundance of materials and objects for everyone. In Capitalism we don't want to let the poor have clothing, housing, water or medicine without earning it. A noble concept except when you learn the history of oppression and think about the children deprived of food because mommy and daddy are crack heads.
"Closest thing" is key phrase here. The church is it's own entity, it's not a political party.
As a raised Christian I noticed at a very young age people infatuated with name brands of clothing and not just happy with clothing. As an adult I see people ask, "Who are you wearing" and want to puke.
There is an abundance of clothing in the world, yet some can't obtain it. There is an abundance of food in the world, yet some can't obtain it and die. There have been more un-occupied houses than homeless in America for like 8 years now.
American Corporations openly trash things people are willing to line up for. Because if there is an abundance, Capitalism doesn't work. True Christians would give that abundance to the people on hard times.
The story of the good Samaritan was a lesson on racism, not anything to do with the merits of giving.Democrats want the state to force everyone to "help" the poor and sick.Jesus said help the poor and the sick which sounds like every other democrat I know.
Jesus did not.
There you go.
And they came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are true and do not care about anyone’s opinion. For you are not swayed by appearances, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?” But, knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why put me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” And they brought one. And he said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they marveled at him.
There you go.
Jesus never said it was the responsibility of Roman Government to care for the poor and needy FOR its citizens, he advocated the individual to take the initiative OVER government. Show me a scripture where Jesus forced the Roman Government to convert to His teachings and take on that responsibility over the role and responsibility of each and every man... each "individual"... to seek to the needs of the less fortunate. After all, who actually was viewed to be the "Good Samaritan", it certainly was not representative of a government official.
He was for tolerance, compassion and helping the poor duh. I see RW chumps of the greedy idiot rich now want to go back to the government social policies of the Roman Empire- what ignorant shytteheads lol...Enjoy hell. The Dems and socialists (you dupes don't know what that is) will be in heaven. tyvmDemocrats want the state to force everyone to "help" the poor and sick.Jesus said help the poor and the sick which sounds like every other democrat I know.

Samaritan IS his ethnic background. Two "respectable" members of Hebrew society pass by the beaten man but the despised societal outcast stops and helps the man. The point of the story was clear to all contemporary listeners but has since been lost to modern people. Samaritans practiced a more primitive form of Judaism and did not recognize Jerusalem is the place to go worship and were hated and persecuted by Hebrews of the time.The story of the good Samaritan was a lesson on racism, not anything to do with the merits of giving.Democrats want the state to force everyone to "help" the poor and sick.Jesus said help the poor and the sick which sounds like every other democrat I know.

Interesting how the parable doesn't go as far as to focus on the Good Samaritan's ethnic background. Are we to assume by your view, that only those who don't give money to a homeless man on a street corner are racist? So are we just looking for an excuse as to why an individual simply can't show compassion towards someone else? Usually if you view something solely through the prism of racism, then black and white is really all you'll ever see.
Luckily, gov't has moved on and does help the less fortunate. Charity has high overhead to the point of being a scam, and dries up when really needed, like when Pubs get in and wreck the economy AGAIN with their corruptionand idiotic greed.. Investment in our infrastructure, education and training programs are ridiculously overdue. The GOP reaction is to whip up hate for the poor.He was for tolerance, compassion and helping the poor duh.

I don't think I could ever look at a less fortunate individual and say "it's the government's role to show compassion", and use that crutch as an excuse as to why I simply can't take some form of initiative myself. I don't know if I can be so cold as you frankoHFW, to pass the buck onto someone else. Do you find Jesus ever say to the government - When I was naked you didn't clothe me, or why I was in prison you didn't visit me. Perhaps you are looking for the government to provide you with that ticket to heaven as well?

I already explained who the Samaritans were and that that they were the outcasts of Hebrew society and why, what more do you want? Just pick the group you hate the most and replace"Samaritan" in the story and then you will understand.Samaritan IS his ethnic background. Two "respectable" members of Hebrew society pass by the beaten man but the despised societal outcast stops and helps the man.

If you read the parable (LUKE 10: 25-36) it was a Jewish man who was attacked, a Jewish priest who walked to on the other side of the beaten man, and a Jewish Levi that also ignored him. The Good Samaritan, AIDED the beaten man by seeing to his wounds then paying for his stay as the robbed man rested. Again, where exactly is the racism? You haven't proven any actions of racism in the story except for your own twisted interpretation.

Jesus is the Son of God.
According to his sucky fan club, Jesus the god is apparently a war loving, poor people hating asshole that needs a lot of cash. Jesus the man is someone who had a very profound effect on my life and was the early basis for my liberalism but apparently to the god Jesus my liberalism is a sin that will doom my soul to eternal torment.
