    Yes, he created the individual and challenged the power of the state. This is exactly what our Founders copied 2000 years later!.

    No he didn't challenge the power of the state.. He said Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God what is God's.

    exactly so in an instant Caesar was cut in half and no longer a God. Do you understand?

    when Jesus said to give to both God and Caesar. That meant Caesar was no longer the only God. Now do you understand?

    In context it was about Roman coins with the head of Caesar on them.

    in the sense that they wanted very very tiny govt they were quintessential Republicans. Our liberals spied for Stalin because they are not like our Founders at all. Do you understand?

    by your logic, Reagan was a Liberal as he loved big government.

    Everybody knows Jesus was a liberal Jew from Nazareth. If he could he would vote FDR Democrat.

    Jesus was the first Liberal, as he opposed wealth, selfishness, and harsh punishments.

    He opposed wealth because in those days it was acquired through the lliberal state at the expense of the not wealthy. Under capitalism it is acquired by service to others better than anyone else on earth can offer.

    Under capitalism man exploits his fellow man. Under socialism it is the opposite.

    how is providing the best product in the world at the best price in the world, to raise someone's standard of living at the fastest possible rate, exploitation?

    See how different the world appears to be when you think first?

    I find it ridiculous, Jesus died a mere 2000 years ago, you want to tell me in all of the hundreds of thousands of years in human history no one ever questioned authority, there were no individuality, everyone were selfish, no one questioned harsh punishments.... pfft... do you have a swamp to sell me too

    That's why Jesus praised the money-lenders, cause they are the bedrock of capitalism.

    Sing it, Brother!

    We all know that Jesus doubled the output of his carpentry business while slashing expenses as an example of the power of Capitalism.

    Can I get an Amen!

    You go, Brother Ted!

    And did not Jesus hire 12 men to work for him and PAY for all the food and drink for himself and his minions. Did he not REFUSE
    the charity and donations of those he met cause that would go against his Republican beliefs of self-reliance.

    Amen, Brother.

    do you have any idea what your point is????? Care to share it??

    - - - Updated - - -

    Jesus did many things such as challenging the power of the state and creating the individual, as well as carpentry. Don't forget that conservatives give more to charity than liberals. What does that teach you.
