Zone1 Pastor alarmed after Trump-loving congregants deride Jesus' teachings as 'weak'

[norwegen]

Jesus came for two reasons: to establish God's kingdom and to exact judgment on apostate Judea. If he's an example then nothing is wrong with Christians being strong and defiant. And that, of course, is the opposite of the OP: weak and fluid.

 

[Billo_Really]

Those are Jesus' quotes directly from the New Testament.

Then you are cherry-picking his statements out of context and completely disregarding HIS message. Jesus was about love and forgiveness. He was not Sparticus!

Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord! Not man.

You don't say.

Then you are cherry-picking his statements out of context and completely disregarding HIS message. Jesus was about love and forgiveness. He was not Sparticus!

"Give me an example of "cruel Jesus". And don't say when he turned over the tax tables!"

I gave you five.

You're welcome.

 

[Billo_Really]

Most liberals are more clueless about the New Testament than evangelicals are. You might be the most clueless of all.

I am a white Irish Catholic. I know what Chist's message was all about. And violence has nothing to do with it! Anyone who says Jesus was into violence, is a FUCKING LIAR!

 

[Billo_Really]

You don't say.

I just did.

I'm not even sure what you're talking about, to be honest. The cross that the Romans compelled Simon to carry?

No. A Roman soldier's pack weighed 60 pounds. He could demand a Jew carry it for a mile.

 

[norwegen]

Not that Jesus was cruel, per se. He just avenged the righteous.

Well, good for the roman soldiers, then.

You are taking him out of context to fit a certain political ideology and that is not cool.

Put his quotes of vengeance in context for us.

How much time will you need? A year?

You're an Irish Catholic. Maybe six years?

 

[Billo_Really]

You act like you have never heard of the 10 Commandments?

 

[norwegen]

You act like you have never heard of the 10 Commandments?

What kind of a question is this? A simple yes-or-no? Multiple choice? Essay?

Please don't say essay. I hate those.

Is the Sermon on the Mount to liberal now? What do Evangelicals think of Jesus's greatest teaching?

Evangelical Christian leader Russell Moore revealed this week that many evangelical pastors have become alarmed that their Trump-loving congregants have become so militant that they are even rejecting the teachings of Jesus Christ.


In an interview with NPR, Moore said that multiple pastors had told him disturbing stories about their congregants being upset when they read from the famous "Sermon on the Mount" in which Christ espoused the principles of forgiveness and mercy as central to Christian doctrine.

"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — 'turn the other cheek' — [and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'" Moore revealed. "And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ,' the response would not be, 'I apologize.' The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak.'"

Trump followers are not Christians.
They are MAGATS, a whole new religion.

Question whether Jesus walked on water, raised the dead, rose from the dead and a Christian will pray for your soul and try to redeem you.

Question a lie told by Donald Trump and you're excommunicated.

One cannot be a follower of Jesus christ and a follower of Donald Trump.
The two are mutually exclusive.

Translation:
“I really miss those traditional hardcore Bible thumping ‘Conservatives’….the ones who didn’t conserve, preserve or protect anything, the ones with no ball-sack, the one’s that would polish the AR-15’s they’d never have the nuts to use, the foolish suckers we could easily bully, easily steer their way of thinking by throwing a Bible verse in their face…we could get those passive dumbass pussies to accept anything with a simple guilt trip. The nutless bastards finally grew a pair of balls and now they won’t ignore us disgusting globalist degenerates as we run amok, trashing and transforming their nation into the no borders, no boundaries anything goes socialist foreign shithole we seek.”

Christianity in 2023.

Jesus’ ideology, like so many other liberal and progressive ideologies , works beautifully in a vacuum. Unfortunately, once you add human nature and fallibility and weakness to the equation, they’re a recipe for disaster.

And?
Do you stop being Christian because those around are not Christian?

Pretty damn weak religion if you ask me.

God wants Christians at war with evil /the devil at all times, God knows the devil works through today’s evil left.

Sony, if you're looking for some evil to fight go to church and look around.
You're surrounded by it.
But don't worry you're not at risk because as Pogo said
