Zone1 How would Christ deal with the "wokeness" of our time?

[rightwinger]

No, you want to co-opt his Name for your own purpose, your own modern-day clique. It's a matter of, "No one is paying attention to us! We need a well-known name to advertise our club! I know! Let's use Jesus! That's a well-known name, personality!" Can't today's "woke" stand or fall on their own without being propped up by those who lived thousands of years ago?

rightwinger, Jesus isn't a prop. Be respectful of who he is and what he stands for: Salvation/redemption of the world, of the "woke".

Why not Jesus?

You worship that Jesus was so woke

 

[rightwinger]

No, woke is the definition of social justice according to the Left ONLY.

For example, a black police officer in Ohio was called to break up a fight between two black girls. But when the officer showed up on the scene, one of the girls pulled a knife and lunged at the other girl, so the police officer pulled a gun and shot the girl to save the other girl. Unfortunately, the girl he shot later died.

Then all hell broke out as the media latched onto the story calling for social justice against the white police officer who shot the black girl with a knife due to his prejudged systemic racism. Lebron James even tweeted, "Your next" to the white police officer. The officer and his family then received a myriad of death threats and had to be removed from his position and moved from Ohio for their safety, even though he later was vindicated as having done the right thing to save the life of the other black girl. Naturally, the death threat Lebron made to the innocent white police officer was ignored despite being illegal and he was put through hell during the investigation which went on forever.

Later, on January 6th during the riots a white unarmed woman was shot dead by a black police officer in the Capital building and died. The media instantly declared the black police officer as a hero and refused to give out his name in order to protect his life and his family. Also, there was no investigation despite the fact that the woman was not even armed.

This is the world that the Left envisions despite having nothing whatsoever to do with any sense of justice for society. What the Left wants is a society that is a living hell for everyone that they see as a political adversary as they let society go to hell for not enforcing laws to protect the average citizen.

Has nothing to do with woke

Would he travel down the road Pope Francis took, which was to have photo ops like this and defrock conservative Priests who were anti-abortionists, or would he have taken another path?

Was the most loving thing to try and make the church more palatable to the world as many considered Pope Francis to be a really cool Pope, or is it to cause the world to want to nail you to a cross because you offend them so much by not acting so cool?

Pope Francis was woke just like Jesus was woke

He learned his lessons well

 

[Votto]

I know the definition. I am asking you to give specific examples of Jesus being "woke" and compare these to those being "woke" today. For example, Jesus tells the Canaanite woman he was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, not to Canaanites/gentiles. He tells a woman caught in adultery not to commit adultery from then on.

Do the "woke" of today insist people not commit adultery? Do the "woke" today focus on one group of people and pass on others?

My point is, that what you really want is to portray Jesus following the "woke". Instead, perhaps give examples of the "woke" following Jesus.

The woman caught in adultery in the Bible is a prime example of how Jesus was not woke.

Jesus warned the woman to avoid her sinful ways or worse things would come upon her, as where the Left would refer to the male toxicity of Jesus trying to dictate to her what her sexual practice should be.

Churches today get things all mixed up....we Christians are to love the sinner, but not the sin.

Bub, it is all lies. The Bible said to kill the homosexuals, not admire them. No Jesus, no Gods, no nothing...all manmade lies. Pope was evil. He wanted the $$ and sold the church out.

Does not matter to me, just saying. You know I never lie to you, bub.

I don’t care what you think
Jesus was a good guy who cared about societies outcasts and wanted to help them

Jesus was Woke

Are the "woke" Christian? Christians not only care about outcasts, we don't stop with wanting to help them, we actually do help them. The same with Jesus. He did not stop with "wanting", he actually helped them. He had this motto: Don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Shrug, this is not a motto of the left. Also astonishing you believe Jesus would be a fan of Woke's cancel culture.

It seems more likely, you wish to see yourself as Christian. rightwinger is Christian! Let's give a shout-out for this.

Sounds pretty woke to me
Why not embrace it

Actually, I often work with the outcast. Secondly, I have never been one to jump onto the latest fad band wagon. Fads cry for attention and I don't need attention. The "woke" do little but scramble and yammer for attention, although I will exclude present company from that.

Those who work with the outcast have no need for attention, and no need to tell everyone else what they should be doing. See a need, fill a need--quietly. And pray. For where two are three are gathered in his name, Jesus is in their midst.

If you truly want to claim Jesus: At your next Woke meeting, call for everyone to gather in prayer in his name. Then, follow Christ instead of claiming he is following you. Can you embrace that?

You can debate this all you want. The bottom line is Jesus was all about helping the poor and needy. There is no debate on this whatsoever. What dome have done is concocted the "god wants us to be rich" prosperity principld which frankly goes against biblical teaching.

Jesus also helped the rich and well-to-do. He was all about discerning the will of the Father--and doing it.

It is always Conservatives pointing and saying…….You are woke

Every wonder why?
