How many times do we have to debunk this? God and Jesus would clearly be on the side of Republicans, the party of family values. Jesus was woke? Come on, you people should know better than this.

He said render unto Caesar, not surrender.

I wonder what Jesus would think of the GOP's message that one should viciously hate their neighbor

I would imagine He'd be more dismayed over the Sodomites, cross-dressers, pedophiles, and abortionists.
 
The kingdom of God would not be a worldly kingdom with any geographical constraints. Construction crews would not build it. The Praetorian Guard would not police it. Written edicts would not regulate it. It was a mystery, by and large, as Jesus taught it, but would crystallize in short order as the apostles began preaching it and realizing their place within it.

It in no way resembles the temple hierarchy or any other authoritarian government.

Within the Christians’ kingdom at large—in the spiritual assembly of believers where Christ reigns—no hierarchy subjugates them, no taxing authority oppresses them, no regulatory body directs them, no central authority oversees them. They seek no single unifying leader to call teacher or father, for they do not need one. Nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ Their kingdom has no earthly center, only Christ in heaven. In Christ is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female (Gal 3:28). In the new age, circumcision and uncircumcision avail nothing. All are brothers. The body’s decentralized leadership means that the Christians’ living temple is one in which they are all the stones. They are all living stones, all counted as priests, all adorned with royalty, all inspired by the Holy Spirit to higher moral and ethical standards, to live by the power of forgiveness and the spirit of truth. Theirs is a temple without altar, ritual, or mandate. By design, the church is a temple of equals (Mt 20:25-28).

Many mistake true love for hate. Children sometimes think their parents are mean if they aren't allowed to do something foolish or dangerous. Many adults think this way as well.

Abortion for example. Republican don't hate pregnant women who don't want their child, they are focusing on the long-term good of the nation and expect women to be more responsible regarding their sexual activities.

Jesus was the most successful venture capitalist that ever lived.

Just look how rich the Catholic Church is and how much money religions pull in every year.

Jesus started the first trillion dollar corporation in history

  1. Matthew 19:28
    And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
  2. Luke 22:30
    That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus was my conservative role model. He's why I became a Republican. He embraced 1) the giving of one's personal resources to help the poor, rather than basically saying "Let George do it". 2) He welcomed little children, rather than have them put to death. 3) He said quite clearly that God created man and woman for each other in marriage.

I would first declare Jesus did not start the Catholic Church. Constantine did this. Aside from that, when you lead a couple of billion people, I would think the organization would need a trillion dollars. Wouldn't you? The True Church is said to have around 120 billion dollars as they have nearly 18 million worldwide with tens of thousands of church buildings as well with their Temples too. And, the LDS are a lay church too. It takes money to run large organizations. Doesn't mean the organization is wealthy. Just mean there is lots of money required to run the daily affairs of the Church worldwide.
I've been a member of the LDS church for 46 years. When I joined, we paid our tithing and fast offerings as we do today. But, back then, there were other things we paid as well if we could. We ran our local church buildings that costed money. Over time, all those other fees we used to pay have gone away because the Church managed the tithing money and business side of the organization so well, we only are required to pay the things God demands like tithing and offerings.

First off, the trillion dollar claim is a lie. The Catholic Church is estimated to be worth about 30 Billion USD. (Bourke, 2018) This includes thousands of buildings voluntarily donated and built by individual Catholics as a gift to God. The RCC does more humanitarian work and charity than any organization in the history of the world. Contrast that to Biden's fraudulent and lyingly-named "Inflation Reduction Act" which cost 13 times more than that. And the money for that is confiscated from unwilling taxpayers and accomplishes basically nothing. Yet you leftwingers don't have a single complaint about that.
