It made no senseJesus was crucified by Republicans
that makes no sense
Was Jesus the First Republican?
Sure he was. He created individual liberty on earth. He was a powerful common man who liberated other common men from earthly liberal rulers such as Caesar. He taught that each individual person was loved by God and had an individual relationship with God that was based on his free will and individual behavior toward other people and toward God.. This was opposite to liberal statist Rome wherein all human beings on earth were the same. They were mere animals to be defeated militarily, captured, enslaved, raped, killed or taxed. The transformational liberty Jesus created on earth slowly gave birth to Christianity, the Reformation, Enlightenment, and finally the American Revolution. To this day Republicans stand to limit Caesarian liberal statist govt and maintain or increase liberty , while Democrats oppose this basic trajectory of Western Civilization every step of the way!
The delusion of Republicans knows no bounds.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn: for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Yeah, sounds like a Republican to me.
And I suggest you study your Roman History. The Roman empire did not believe all people were the same. Ever hear of Sparticus?
you know its a liberal if he is posting cartoons! Wonder why liberals oppose free speech?
Rs suck just as much as Ds. If only all Americans would know this.Was Jesus the First Republican?

You know you have a problem when you see everything in terms of Republicans and Democrats.

actually it does sounds more like republican. Each one of those beattitudes is a responsibility. Jesus is teaching individuals to be responsible in their lives and not telling them to demand government do those things
Well, it is teaching people not to be total asshats, which of course most on the Right can't exist without.
I'm fairly sure we could exist quite well without progressives
I find it amusing that anyone would declare that Jesus had the ideals of any political party.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is very hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
I'll say it again--it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!"

Another deviant who wants to rewrite the meanings and pick out verses from a book they've never read and a theology they know nothing about.
When Pontius Pilate interrogated Jesus before his crucifixion, Jesus proclaimed that "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." (John 18:37). To this, Pilate replied "What is truth?" and immediately left Jesus to address the Jews who wanted Christ crucified (v. 38).
As Francis Bacon wrote in his essay "On Truth," "'What is truth?' said jesting Pilate; and would not stay for an answer." Although we have no record of any reply by Jesus, Christians affirm that Pilate was staring Truth in the face, for Jesus had earlier said to Thomas, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life" (John 14:6).

Why do you oppose free speech?

True, but Mormons are much closer to practicing what they preach than the majority of 'conservatives' and right wingers, so I wouldn't claim that right wingers get to hide behind Mormons' example of consistency for cover as being representative of 'conservatives' in general.

Fundamentalism doen't applly well to a doctrine that wasn't even collected or in print for 300 years, as well as having gone through the Council of Nicaea revisionist cycle(s)
Further, politizing things celestial is beyond umitigated gall , given Jesus was killed BY politicians who openly MOCKED His 'truth'
What is Truth
When Pontius Pilate interrogated Jesus before his crucifixion, Jesus proclaimed that "Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." (John 18:37). To this, Pilate replied "What is truth?" and immediately left Jesus to address the Jews who wanted Christ crucified (v. 38).

lol there was no revisionism at the Council Of Nicea, just the opposite in fact. The Orthodoxy existed and was widely known and spread from the very beginning.
Lol, Mormons donating to their own cult. Most of that money doesn't go to charitable purposes.Utah is the most charitable state as well as the most conservative.Pretty sure you're wrong. Now conservatives, when have they ever done anything useful?The delusion of Republicans knows no bounds.
