Zone1 Jesus intended that Christians be politically-active

[g5000]

Blue Jesus: I want you to listen to me. I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Magdalene...

Red Jesus: I have a wide stance!




Blue Jesus: We have to pass the Law so we can find out what's in it.

Red Jesus: I will not heal you, blind man, until you show me some ID.



Blue Jesus: I have a pen and a direct phone line to my Father, and I am not afraid to use them.

Red Jesus: Muslims suck, and I'm pretty sure Doubting Thomas is a fag!



Blue Jesus: I invented cocaine as a way of telling you that you make too much money.

Red Jesus: Look at these hands! Look at these feet! I know more than anyone what torture is, and waterboarding is not torture.



Blue Jesus wears a WWBD (What Would Biden Do?) bracelet.



Red Jesus: And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed." But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, "Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us." But He answered and said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

Moral of the story: Red Jesus would support building a wall to keep out aliens so they don't suck up holy resources.



Blue Jesus: And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

Moral of the story: Blue Jesus hates profit, and believes health care should be free.

 

[Bezukhov]

Is that how Jesus' Kingdom is going to be established on Earth? Right Wingers will vote it in?

 

[Votto]

"my kingdom is not of this world" christ

Neither is being active as a lawyer, a dentist, or doctor.

Christians are commanded to be the salt of the earth, you can't do that by living on an island.

God's kingdom will not come about by voting, I can guarantee that.

Actually Biblical Rome was somewhat democratic, except not for the Jews. Even though the Senate was made up of Rome's elite, and the magistracies were largely controlled by a small number of powerful families, the Roman Republic had a government made up of the Senate and four assemblies.

The only "rendering" the Jews were allowed to Caesar were the taxes they paid and following the Roman laws. But rendering their taxes was what kept Caesar in power, just as rendering votes keep modern-day politicians in power.

Rome, and all it represents, belongs to Satan

You're the self proclaimed administrators of "democracy.' What have you done to steer this nation towards the Kingdom?

 

[kjw47]

In Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus said "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's." He was not specifically speaking of the coin of the realm, He meant that in other respects as well. If you look at most any piece of money, you will generally see an image: George Washington on the Dollar, Thomas Jefferson on the $2 bill, Lincoln, Jackson, Grant, Franklin, and so on. Those people were modern-day Caesars, and like Roman times, we render unto the government they represented. In turn, the government's duty is to offer its citizens protection, provide services, make and enforce laws, regulate the economy, represent the people, and preserve good relations with other states, just as good Roman Emperors were tasked to do. Now in a democracy such as ours, there are other things that belong to "Caesar" or one running for the highest political office: That would be your vote. In other words, it is your God-given duty to "render" that vote to whom you believe best represents your moral values. That would also include things like campaigning for that candidate, encouraging people to vote, making political contributions, making and coordinating communications, forming political committees, volunteering, becoming election officials, and holding events. These are all things Christians should consider as "rendering unto Caesar", in spite of the widely-held belief that Christians should abstain from political involvement. Remember, the phrase "separation of church and state" does not appear anywhere in our American Constitution, even though the Deist Jefferson believed the First Amendment's free exercise and establishment clauses together built "a wall of separation between church and state", and that the government should not favor one religion over the other. There is also nothing in the scriptures that directly condemns being involved in politics. In fact, every Christian should feel it to be their sacred duty to be politically-active and politically-engaged. By doing so, you can can limit the amount of control the government exercises over you, and hold your leaders accountable. And it is inexcusable for any Christian not to exercise their individual rights and defend their religious freedoms. You should never relinquish your ground, thereby leaving control of this earth to those leaders who are seeking ungodly aims.

Jesus was talking about paying ones taxes when he said pay caesers things to caeser. Jesus told his followers to be no part of this world. He would not like one of his to cast a vote for corruption. Every govt is corrupt to the core. Its why he will crush them off of Gods earth forever( Daniel 2:44)

That's all well and good, but modern-day Christians have become very politically-active, as well they should be. Like it or not, If you don't take part in making your country what it should be, the forces of evil will turn it into a godless American version of Sodom and Gomorrah.

He also intended rich people to give up their accumulated wealth or it's a no-go.

Christians have dual citizenship. We do have a responsibility to be part of the solution and not the problem. "Occupy till I come"

"If you see the innocent being led to their death, do not turn your face away and say, 'i did not see' for there is one in heaven who sees, and He knows the truth"

 

[TruthNotBS]

Rome, and all it represents, belongs to Satan

Anti-Christ Jews belong to Satan according to the NT. They're the "synagogue of Satan":

Rev_2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Rev_3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

The mislead have become politically active. It already is a sodom and gommorah.

Mortal govts will not provide a solution. They are causing mankinds woes. Gods kingdom is the only solution.

 

[lafayette]

It has been Sodom and Gomorrah as long as man has been alive.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

Mortal govts will not provide a solution. They are causing mankinds woes. Gods kingdom is the only solution.

That falls on the leaders, and to the extent we have a say, US for the choices we make

 

[lafayette]

Mortal men, Carl, is who ae in charge of God's Kingdoms on earth remains the problem.

Respect , for trying to find a rationale to support this dying Cult .

But a religion results from people with a finite lifetime .
Now , and in the same way , it is time for this old fashioned type of Cult thinking to become a thing of the past .
An attempt to help the Sheeple but a complete failure thanks to Deep State interference .

Compare the laudable teachings of the Essene monk with the the invented garbage manufactured by the later Cultists , spearheaded by Paul and then Constantine .

Are you some kind of a Luddite who believes that Christians shouldn't vote or run for political offices?
