But in the Gospel According to John, Jesus is quoted as saying this:
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do..." John 14:12.
So if Jesus is made President, we can expect a whole bunch of power given to the people to do the things he did,.
There is no evidence that Judas was anything other than a good steward of the treasury to which he was trusted. And he didn't betray Jesus for the money but I believe it was on the theory that Jesus would then be forced to out himself as the authority that he was. When that turned out so badly he was so devastated that he killed himself. An evil person. No, I don't think so. Just a badly misguided one. And given the incredible track record of others that Jesus called, I would trust him to recruit and train a cabinet anytime.
Jesus would protect and defend the children, and while he did not promote or advocate war, neither did he condemn it. In fact in his words he said there would always be war and rumors of war. Did that suggest that war was an inevitable condition of humankind? Or could it also suggest that at least some war will sometimes be necessary at least until He installs Peace on Earth?
And Jesus had a way of cutting through the crap and getting to the heart of matters, he was well educated, he was innovative, and quite intelligent.
He would not look to government as the solution for anything, but rather would look to the people to exercise compassion, good judgment, sound economic principles (including capitalism), traditional values, personal industriousness and accountability, and moral integrity to solve problems. That would be a refreshing change, yes?
I think he has better credentials to be President than a number of the people we have put into the White House. If he runs, he'll have my vote.
He would probably make a better Supreme Court Justice.
Not for those who believe in separation of church and state.
Of course not. Jesus would end every social service the government provides and urge individuals to give of their own to the needy. To the rest, it would be work or starve.
I am of several minds on this and am still mulling it over. I am interested in other opinions. Please don't just say "yes" or "no". Explain specifically what characteristics Jesus demonstrated in practice or his teaching that supports your position. I will give my answer when I reach it.
