Obama to Limit Potential Uses of Nuclear Weapons

For CTB to remake Jesus into his leftist ideal is ill-advised and wrong-headed at the least...and blasphemous at worst.

 

I gave examples. Give me examples of where he advocated war, industrial profits ... show me where he exhibits conservatism in his day and time.

You opinion is your opinion. Show me scripture to back you Jesus being conservative.

Attempting to make Jesus a right-wing capitalist is heresy .. and that is what many in this country try to do and defend.

 

Scripture is full of threats of war, blood to the bridles, swords, pestulence, mass graves....Old and New testaments, with Christ himself chiming in. Only a liar would say otherwise.

The parable of the talents.

If you loved him, you would keep his commandments.

 

Jesus was not a liberal. Jesus was not a conservative. Jesus cared nothing for politics and showed this again and again. To place a political label on Jesus is demeaning at the least and blasphemous at the worst. Please stop, this is the Son of God we are talking about, the same one who said His kingdom was not of this world. The same one who left when the people were going to take Him by force and make Him a king. Quit trying to equate him to humanistic polical ideals.

 

In terms of the cultural thought of his time and also of many in our time he was definitely liberal. He made statements that went directly against the thought of his day and of ours. His actions were also liberal, both for his time and ours. Look beyond politics and at his life.

Love your neighbor as yourself.
Those who live by the sword die by the sword.
Blessed are the peacemakers .............
Let him without sin cast the first stone.

Remember his words in Matthew how he would know who were his at the judgement. Jesus was always pushing people beyond their confort zones.

All these were radical statements for his culture as well as for many in our own culture. None of us have caught up with where Jesus was or is in his thinking.

We, you, me, all of us have to use human terms in our discussions of Jesus. Human words are all we have. It is too bad we are so limited in this way.

 

You must be denying what he said. He himself will bring the war.

Then show us it's "proper" beakdown. Show me where I'm wrong.


Also, I gotta say, 2. He defended the women taken in adultry. A consertative at that time would have helped stone her. is about the most ignorant, biased, and hateful things I have ever read. If this is your true mentality, then we are idiots for even engaging you.

 

Just another statement and nothing to back it up.





Then show us it's "proper" beakdown. Show me where I'm wrong.

Again, just opinion and nothing to back up your words.

 

Give it up CTB. Curits and his ilk worship conservatism and and corporate America. It does not matter how many proofs you offer that in His day, Jesus would have been considered a liberal, they will not stand for it.

People who are honest know that you are speaking the truth, but these liberal-haters cannot admit it or they would have to do some serious thinking about how they view Jesus, and again, this is something they will doubtful ever do.

 

Thanks for your kind words. I understand and agree with what you are saying. I learned early on that what you say is correct. My first thought was to simply not post on the board ... then I thought about it and determined that I should continue to post and to continue speaking the truth of Jesus and what he taught. That some do not agree, yea they rale against the idea of a Christ who taught peace and love of neighbor, is not surprising.

 

My challenge is good for you, too, dragonfly. Show me where my intepretation is wrong. And show me my worship of corporate America. And go ahead and deny to me Christ promised war when he returned.

I have thought long and hard about who Christ was. He was no liberal.

 

It is your statement. Back it up with proof ... in context.

Show us proof, not just opinion.

 

Cutis won't do it. All he does is make these ignorant statements over and over. Again, he worships conservatism, and this is not what Jesus taught. In fact, he can't even get my name right.

Although I was saved in a right-wing church, it didn't take long to see that there main emphasis was antithetical to what Jesus taught.

Just look here, bring up Jesus being the Prince of Peace, and immediately someone points to the slaughter that took place in the Old Testament. That speaks volumes!

 

Nope. I won't drag scripture thru your mud. You may try to deny Christ's own words, but we serve a God of war. Only when he establishes it, will there be peace. You may be dishonest with yourself enough to say I serve only corporations, or am a war monger, but in actuality I supported the only true anti-war candidate there was, and have voted democrat from Mondale/Ferraro until the democrats nominated that complete boob Kerry. And your guy is still active in rendition, Gitmo ain't closed, and we now bomb civilian populations in more countries than we did just a few short years ago. Don't preach to me Christ's words about peace.

Anyhoo, you lefties are the ones twisting facts, putting people into presupposed boxes, thinking thru the prism of your bias, anda lot of other stuff I'm sure I could think of, but hey, I think I'll go gather some of my hateful conservative buddies, and look for an adulteress to stone.






:laugh:

 

Is it a liberal position or a conservative position that there is one, and only one, way to God?

 

Translation: I'll ignore any good points you make...and if I do attempt to respond, it will be to cry, "out of context!"

You get put in your place on so many threads here, I lose count. You respond by either derailing the thread, ignoring the discussion, leaving the discussion, or assigning homework.

Yeah....like your post is gospel, and not opinion...

 

Not only was Jesus a liberal in His day, but if He was alive in person on earth today, he would be considered a liberal by most right-wing Baptists.

 

Really What would be his position on abortion ? Gay marriage ? Welfare ?

Still waiting for what the parable of the talents really means. Still waiting for my correction.
