Zone1 What would Jesus do about the GOP plan?

[hobelim]

Really?

So, a country that forbids kids to read the Bible in public schools and instead teaches them the virtues of the LGTB philosophy is a country that is a theocracy?

I wonder if the kids are being pulled out of class to protest guns or climate change once again.

And you call him a dimwit?

I guess you are a dimwit too.

Republican chair says only Christians should be elected to government

"We shouldn't be electing anyone in government—local, state or federal—that is not a Christian," Georgia's Kandiss Taylor said.

I’m guessing Jesus would prefer no taxes paid on the earnings you need to live and then a progressive system. I don’t suspect he’s a flat taxer. Just saying.

When some were trying to frame a charge against Jesus to shut him up he was asked about whether they should pay taxes. You know he said, "Render unto Caesar the things of Caesar and render unto God the things of God."

This answer was brilliant. To any roman shill it sounded like he was advocating paying taxes but to the devout he was saying the exact opposite, don't give caesar shit because nothing belonged to caesar especially in Judea.

Everything belongs to God. Caesar claimed to be a mangod, and he was, a false god, the god of nothing.

Amusing, but that's not a policy anywhere in this country.

Maybe not officially but many politicians openly say they cannot separate their religious beliefs from what the do in government. I understand why, it would make them a hypocrite, but it also makes them unfit for public office.

The Perils of Politicized Religion

In the United States, religion and partisan politics have become increasingly intertwined. The rising level of religious disaffiliation is a backlash to the religious right: many Americans are abandoning religion because they see it as an extension of politics with which they disagree. Politics...

How does it diminish Jesus to try and figure out how He would lean based on the writings of His life and words? It is actually all we do in modern times which is contemplate WWJD.

Jesus never looked at the oppressed and said, they arent working hard enough, they are welfare queens, immigrants are criminals.

As I have said before, the people tried to make him an earthly king, and he rejected the attempt.

Then before Pilate sent him to the cross, he told Pilate that he was a king but his kingdom was not of this world, nor could be of the worldly corrupt political system.

If you think either political party is Christian, or could be, you are an idiot.

 

[hobelim]

Not exactly. Jesus said, "King is your word, my task is to bear witness to the truth." Showing that the Jewish concept of a messiah anointed by God, a messenger from God, a prophet or teacher, was lost in the translation.

How do you know? He didn't like capitalists adulterating God's House.

Not having people set up shop INSIDE of a church is not hte same as being a commie who would like to committ genocide on people who are slightly better farmers.

YOu commies are... very bad people.

I asked which POLICIES He would support and picked 4. The GOP, in my opinion, supports the exact opposite of Biblically supported policy. I am not suggesting Jesus resurrected a second time would run for anything. I am just saying if you listen to his teachings and have to pick one, its obvious.

How would you have any idea what my relationship is with Jesus? You are a typical Christian, skin deep of faith but full of the judgement of others. I know you cant reconcile your political beliefs with being a follower of Christ which is why I made this thread. I can.

I can't judge you the way Christ will--good or bad--but I do have license to judge what kind of Christian you are.

You sidestepped my question: Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He, though eternal, came to earth to save sinners, that His death on the Cross was sufficient to save Believers to the uttermost, that He sits at the right hand of God the Father and will come again?

If you believe He's just a good teacher, you're just following every other religion in the world, self-satisfied that you're a "good person" but missing salvation completely. Watch that you do not hear, "I never knew you" on that day

Gator is a Leftist, and as such, does not believe in a God.

He has no real interest in Jesus other than trying to leverage him to get votes for his sociopathic Marxist politicians that care nothing about the poor. All they do is virtue signal.

Just look at the heart of Marxist America, which is California, to see that. They all vote "D" and all you have now is the extreme poor and extreme rich. You exponentially growing numbers of homeless people like Bezos hiding behind gated communities as both the rich and poor in California continue to vote "D" every election cycle

Pathetic.

Everyone else is leaving the state. This is Gators utopia for the country and will no doubt vote for Newsome for President in the near future.

Never forget the mandate by Karl Marx to destroy the middle class.

Democrats have done that by in large.

Plenty of mainline protestant churches that have made Jesus into nothing more than a good example. So yes to everything you said. In reality, Gator thinks he has all the right ideas--so right that even Jesus agrees! That's pride and self-satisfaction. Christians, OTOH, know that we are sinners and can do nothing to save ourselves. We rely only and completely on Jesus Christ, who can and will "save to the uttermost"

Wrong.

He didn't like usury.

Two different concepts.

So, you take the ramblings of this hair brained Qanon loving women over the reality of the situation?

Understood.



Perhaps one of the greatest propaganda attempts by the Left is to convince everyone that the biggest threat to the nation and to democracy is to a Christian theocracy and/or white supremacists

Meanwhile, the Left controls the schools, the government, and the media.

What morons people are.

Even with Trump in "power", this domination of the Left continues.

And if anyone believes Trump is a Christian............well..................that would be hard to swallow, don't ya think? I heard Trump say that he has never felt the need to ask forgiveness from God for anything

Yea, that's not how Christianity works.

And no one really believes Biden and company are real Christians either despite their ramblings like the ramblings of this woman you posted.

Churches are even becoming woke.

Try again.

The reality of the situation is that many deranged Christian believers are openly trying to turn this country and the world into a tyrannical theocracy. Many are even openly calling for a Catholic Taliban. For Jesus of course.

Numbskull.

You really are an idiot.

The GOP could care less about Christianity even though they patronize them endlessly.

It's called politics stupid.

For example, does the GOP care that after Roe abortion numbers have gone up and in states where it has been made Constitutional, abortions are not regulated at all like they were under Roe?

No.

Not a peep. They could easily offer a Constitutional amendment in those states to reinstate the regulations of Roe, but they refuse even though it would easily pass on those states

Come to think of it, the GOP could offer constitutional amendment to ban trans in female sports and ban children from having sex changes as those would also easily pass as well, but no, the GOP offers nothing as they let it continue

Again, just look at the public schools to see who controls things. You can't even put a manger scene on school property without the Left going bat shit crazy and tearing it down, meanwhile, a teen can obtain an abortion and/or sex change with virtually little to no support from their parents even though the same kid can't get so much as an aspirin from a school nurse without their parents approval.

The Left is destroying the nation.

Numbskull.

Emperor Constantine of Rome was the first to introduce a Christian theocracy, yet he did not care about Christianity either as he continued to worship the Roman pagan gods. He even had his wife and son murdered, all to help secure his power.

Granted, it is rumored he tried to convert on his death bed.

And all of the evil done in the name of Christianity were then attributed to his fake efforts, namely, the Jewish persecutions and Inquisitions and Crusades, etc.

Human politics is humanity at its absolute sinful worst as it is all about human power and greed.

This is why in 1 Samuel 8 we see how God was grieved when the people asked for a sinful man to be their king.

He warned them of the endless abuses they would suffer if they persisted in wanting one, but the ignored his warnings as King Saul became their first king

Their kingdom later fell apart after the third king as it divided in two, and then the next thing you know they were in the ovens of Nazi Germany

Funny that.

So much for God's warnings being headed.
