    Moses ate a pig. What on earth has Moses to do with Christianity? If there is one thing we know absolutely it is that Jesus abominated the conservatives and teabags of his time and saw almost no hope for the rich, which is what so many Americans long to be. Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest!

    Unfortunately, the phrase never appears in the Bible. Your familiarity with the seminal text of your faith shows your dedication to it.

    I agree they were cheating the poor, but I thought it was done through coin clipping before the transaction instead of the flat fee. Can you please cite where in the Bible it says that the money changers were charging a flat fee to change into shekels?

    I suppose you have evidence to back this outlandish claim?

    The elites interpolated holy scripture to fit their lavish lifestyles. Just as King Herod has been found today to most certainly be innocent of child slaughtering allegations. While he had some domestic disputes, he was a renowned architech.

    Jesus wanted people to find it within themselves to go out of their way and help people. Nowhere in the bible does it say "and if you don't feel like doing that, just force your government to do it for you so that nobody has to give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about anyone else". This is the society "progressives" are creating. I will attempt to cleanse the filth wherever I see it.

    Also, the Democratic Party constantly discriminates against Jesus so he'd be preaching to the Democratic Party and voting Republican :D

    By definition of the word, Jesus was liberal.

    This thread is forgotten nonsense. Waste away-

    By definition, American "progressives" are not liberal.

    This thread is truer than you'll most likely ever know. God bless.

    Perhaps you should start with the language in your own posts.
    Just a thought.

    Would you say that Ghandi and Martin Luther King were "liberals"?

    I don't think so.
    Jesus wanted people to come to the faith willingly and without coersion.
    That is the landscape Democrats pursue. They don't want to keep anyone from Jesus. They simply don't want Him forced upon anyone. I think Jesus would like that open playing field of ideas.

    Then so was Jesus.. Read the Sermon on the Mount.. He was teaching NON violent liberation theology.

    He was teaching the people how to cope with the Roman occupation.

    Given the government of that time it wouldn't have been a good plan. What happened to the people who kept back what they should have shared? Look it up in Acts.


    I don't know what you mean by 'progressive'. Socialists believe we should look after one another as brothers and sisters.

    "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."
    (Matthew 7.12 ESV)


    Frankly I don't see either Conservatives or Liberals in general practising this.

    Unless it is the goal of many posters here to have others not have any respect for them, or their opinions.

    I think Jesus would be aghast at the behaviour of many who call themselves Conservative Christians and many who call themselves Liberal Christians.

    I think Jesus would condemn anyone wrapping themselves in his name and considering themselves superior to anyone else.

    Jesus didn't join in with the Roman occupation, nor would he join in with the commie mindset like did MLK, nor would he join in with current day occupiers whose main agenda is to wreak havoc over our cities. Jesus was a peaceful GOD who favored segregating the people.

    Even if segregation isn't law, people tend to stick to their own kind. Differences with progressives is they're forcing assimilation on us and it is having unintended consequences that they don't understand how to deal with. Come on Liberals, let us be. Hypocrites.

    You are absolutely correct. I used the wrong term there didn't I. I take it back. What I actually meant is everything but force, including psychology, which could be argued as force but I won't go there...

    Quote the verse where Christ advocates this. I'm fascinated.

    Thank you for admitting the term "social conservative" is an oxymoron. I find it funny when people argue both parties are the same, folks come out of the woodwork to keep the status quo in power, but on a thread where no one is thinking in those terms, here it comes out. I hope the do-what-your-told "conservatives" caught that.
