No wonder wehad Slavery..Christian based laws ...[/QUOTE]No, we based a lot of our laws on Judeo-Christian foundations. How far do you want to go in either direction, dismantling or advancing it?A lot of our laws are based on the Judeo-Christian moral code. How far do you want to go in either direction, dismantling or advancing it?
First Jesus doesn't support government enforcement of Christian morals, now he does.
Make up your mind.
or laws against killing and messing with other people's wives or husbands...hell even the "God Less Commies " had Laws By GodAre there lots of non-Christian societies that don't have laws against stealing?
No. I agree that Jesus saw the developing baby as a human being.If you believe a developing baby is a human being deserving of the same protections as anyone else, it's a whole different argument.So, then, based on your argument, there is no Christian mandate to make abortion illegal.
So you agree that by any measure, Jesus was pro-choice.
You have no evidence of that, plus it's irrelevant.
Actually, I do have evidence of that. Jesus revered Jewish Scriptures, among which is Jeremiah, who explicitly references God knowing him before he was born.
Now, now, you're misconstruing what I said. A Christian theocracy WOULD tax people to feed the poor (and do other things like make divorce very difficult), but Jesus didn't agitate for Christian theocracies, He told His followers to care for the poor, and His followers are world wide, under no one government.He saw the poor as human beings. But you say he wouldn't want government to force people to pay taxes to help the poor.
Why then would he want the government to force people to help the unborn?
You have a serious problem with making assumptions.No, this is me illustrating how ridiculous it is for "liberals" to castigate "conservatives" for not supporting forced welfare, because, you know, Jesus did, and stuff.
Jesus said "Render to Caesar what is Caesar's"....he said that when "they" [people like you] came to trap him on the "Tax Issue"...you see those taxes did not go to anything that benefited the people in the Roman Empire occupied provinces. Those taxes went to the wealth and care of the Roman Emperor ...that was real thieving ...but still Jesus said "yup pay the taxes" render to Caesar what is his...
Our Government IE Caesar has determined that some of the money it collects will go for "the General welfare" and this upsets folks like you...
This is what Does not upset you in Caesar's spending

Are you trying to make a cogent point? We're talking about how ridiculous it is that "liberals" castigate "conservatives" because Jesus said this or that, yet the "liberals" have no intention of allowing Jesus' teachings anywhere close to public policy.[/QUOTE]Should we base our laws on Judeo-Christian moral foundations or not?No wonder wehad Slavery..Christian based laws ...No, we based a lot of our laws on Judeo-Christian foundations.

Now you're starting to understand the main point. "Liberals" try to use Jesus' teachings to justify their desired public policies, yet would run screaming into the night if our laws really did honor Him.When so-called christian conservatives become "christian" then they will be taken a bit more seriously.
Until then, they make fools of themselves. Cherry-picking passages out of the bible to make a point is ludicrous. It shows their shallow faith.

You are all over the map. In one post you say that taxing the people to help the poor would be characteristic of a Christian theocracy,
in another you're saying we should base our laws on Judeo-Christian moral foundations.
lol, which is it?

Don't make me bring back Red Jesus and Blue Jesus, boy!The left is all over the news, social media, and even right here on USMB these days attempting to exploit the Bible for their own political gain. Whenever they are incapable of defending their irrational position, aside from screaming racist/homophobe/xenophobe/etc., they will invariably scream "the Bible says to redistribute wealth". The problem, of course, is that the Bible says no such thing. And they would know that if they didn't hate the Bible and religion. It's a bad idea to attempt to quote something one has never read.
Josh Protas, the vice president of public policy at MAZON, a Jewish anti-hunger group...quoted a verse in Leviticus. Not to be outdone, Rep. Jodey Arrington quoted a Bible verse of his own, saying, “If a man will not work he shall not eat.”
“I did hear Mr. Protas, your opening remarks, where you quoted Leviticus, I believe — and I think that’s a great reflection on the character of God and the compassion of God’s heart and how we ought to reflect that compassion in our lives,” Arrington said. “But there’s also, you know, the Scripture, tells us in 2 Thessalonians chapter 3:10, he says, ‘for even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: if a man will not work, he shall not eat.’ And then he goes on to say ‘we hear that some among you are idle.’
Boom! Talk about a knockout blow. This is what happens to a person who doesn't know the Bible and yet attempts to exploit it for the evils of socialism/marxism/communism.

How old were you when you dropped out of school? I'm assuming your Amish and dropped out after the 6th grade? You can't follow along in the threads, you can't figure out how to respond properly in the site, and your responses are irrational.Your ignorance is showing. This is the teabaggers trouble not a progressives' trouble.

We're talking about how the left attempts to exploit the Bible (without ever having read it) for their fascism and you respond with "this is the Tea Party trouble - not a progressives' trouble"?!?
Your grammar is atrocious and your sentiment is nonsensical.
