So, he wasn't a bastard nor illegitimate. :) No he wasn't a liberal, condoning most liberal acts and requiring people to take responsibility for their actions. At the same time, promoting love thine neighbor, not their sin.
Silly thread, you should all do homework first. Also, caps does not make you sound more intelligent, far from it in fact.

Was Jesus a liberal?



No. Jesus was a Jew, and he invented Communism.

Jesus was Karl Marx.

Jesus is my bro'.

Status: offline 		Ummmmmmmmmmm kittin, Godlessness is ESSENTIAL to communism.  I'm sure you already know this.  Communism, according to Marx, is based on dialectic materialism which is the belief that everything, including MAN, is nothing more than matter in motion.  Because matter is in motion, opposites attract and collide.  The collision leads to conflict and conflict produces "change".  According to communism, there is no God, man does not have a soul, MAN does not have a conscience and all of MAN'S actions are nothing more than a product of his socio-economic environment.  In order to be a communist, you can't believe in God.  Hey...sorry...those aren't my rules.

Moving on from Marx and Engles, communism was advanced by Beatrice and Sydney.......fuck.  WEBB!!!!  Beatrice and Sydney Webb.  Those were contemporaries of George Bernard Shaw.  All socialists who advocated for the end result of communism, all of whom flatly stated that God does not exist. 

Marx died and just about no one showed up at his funeral.  Marx's beliefs were taken up by the aforementioned people that started the Fabian Movement. 

Check out George Bernard Shaw's book "The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism".  It is pretty fucking scary reading for those that value liberty.

Tout ce qui est doctrinaire est effrayant :-D.

That's why those people that twisted the words of Yeshua Ha-Nozri centuries after his death to form what's now known as the New Testament deserve eternal torment in the Frigidaire of Hell. Jesus never tried to create a new religion, or, even worse, a new political doctrine.

Used for emphasis on the word, Gob. I tend to post as if I'm speaking, and do that sometimes. Styles vary around here, but you'll get used to us. Not everybody feels a need to mark sarcasm for the slow, for example.

Welcome aboard.

Jesus was not a Liberal, but he sounded suspiciously like he'd dabbled in Buddhism; the New Testament is a pile of deceit, and a deliberately deceitful compilation; if it makes anyone feel good, all the more power to them.

Et voila !!!

Told us to comfort and heal the sick,feed the hungry,council the criminal,clothe the naked and he gave away free healthcare.He rebelled against the religious elite/conservative establishment but never sold out to the Romans.Ie., kept his integrity.Which was his undoing.

Sounds pretty liberal.

Conservative are always very uncomfortable with this topic and with liberation theology in general.

You are misguided.  Yes, Jesus told us to do all of those things.......voluntarily.  Philanthropy, Owner, is ONLY philanthropy when it is voluntarily given.  When it is confiscated through onerous taxation.....it is TYRANNY.   You want to be charitable?  Be charitable.  I am.

Panda, it isn't splitting hairs to point out the difference between indivdual action, and the action of the state.

Flco, all you have is the bullshit of making such a claim (or latching onto a claim you likely aren't clever enough to have puzzled out for yourself).

I hear (from fundies) that all nations should bow to the lord.


Can`t argue w/ god,now can we?

John 18

10Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

11Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?


Matthew 26


51And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.

52Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.




DC has actually done a great job here of showing the futility of this discussion. Two versions of the same event, two very different statements attributed to Jesus. Once saying this was not a time for violence, once condemning violence.

Which one is right? Are they both right? Is there perhaps a meaning beyond the literal, where both are equally true?
