Why do Christians try to pretend that Jesus would be a left winger?

Question

Jesus was a staunch conservative. FACT.

Jesus was strongly against abortion and spoke often about it. He also was strongly opposed to gay marriage. He gave several sermons on the mount speaking out against Gay Marriage. Jesus warned Caesar many times about what would happen if he allowed Gay Marriage to happen. Luckily for Caesar, he actually heeded his advice.

He also extolled the rich for their hard work and success, and condemned beggars and other welfare leaches on society. Jesus made it clear that the Job Creators were blessed by God and that the poor were nothing more than entitlement moochers who vote Democrat. Not only that, but he advocated that war was a great thing especially when helping to promote Democracy.

Jesus was the original conservative.

Answer 1

You forgot his many railings against making healthcare accessible to the working poor.

Answer 2

"Nowhere in either the Old or New Testaments is "abortion" forbidden. All sorts of horrible acts are explicitly condemned and/or proscribed, but not abortion. During the times when both the Old and New Testaments were written, the Jewish community did not forbid abortion. Anti-choice Christians simply make up an entire Biblical justification for their anti-choice position based on the inferences they read into a few Biblical passages.



I don't say here that they're right, and I don't say here they're wrong about abortion. What I do say is, it is strange indeed that right-wing pseudo-Christians expend extraordinary amounts of time and energy to ensure the forbidding of an act not explicitly forbidden in the Bible, yet they spend comparably little time fostering the actions that again and again they are explicitly commanded to undertake: to save the hungry, naked, thirsty, and sick as Matthew 25:31-46 enjoins us, as well as to more generally ensure that the poor are not oppressed, economic justice is established, and immigrants are welcomed and treated well, as the Old Testament repeatedly commands us. This is so even though the Matthew 25 injunctions are matters of life and death to millions, if not tens of millions of already-born, unquestionably human beings every year. "

Answer 3

Jesus was not a "conservative" nor a "liberal". And he never said ANYTHING about gay marriage. You have to read before stating things like that man. The BIBLE is against homosexuality but Jesus himself didn't mention it. Jesus actually said In Luke 11:46 "what sorrow also awaits you experts in religious law! For you crush people with unbearable religious demands, and you never lift a finger to ease the burden." Also he said "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." I think he just wanted people to love each other and God and get along. Here is a basic idea of Jesus's mission Matthew 22:36-40

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

So in summary Jesus wants you to not judge people and love them as if they WERE you. The BIBLE is a very legalistic book but it is missing a lot of other books from other Christians at the time. They were called "Gnostics". They interpreted Jesus' teaching very differently. See The Holy Bible was not actually a book...it was just a bunch of different peoples very different ideas on Jesus. Just alot of scrolls and little sects of people floating around until the Emperor Constantine formed the council of Niccea. Constantine and several other powerful men decided what books they deemed "relevant". Coincidentally most of them were really legalistic books. All the easier to control people politically with a religious agenda as a scape goat. The Gnostics and their teachings were cast out as heretics. An interesting fact is that Constantine who basically formed the religion you follow murdered his brother in law and his wife and his son in cold blood. Does that seem like someone who "loves his neighbor as himself?" Its much worse than butt sex, i can tell you that. He was an evil man and Christianity is his evil religion which warps the loving pacifist ideas of Jesus into a campaign for legalism and hatred. If you wanna follow Jesus then love gay people and all people as you love yourself. And do not judge them lest you too be judged. If you don't like homosexuality then don't do another man in the butt hole. But it doesn't give you any right to judge or pretend Jesus has a political party.

Answer 4

where the heck did you get this information from...? although he was obviously against being gay, i have never once heard of him talking to caesar about gay marriage, and he wasn't against the poor at all. in fact, he was born poor. also, he went out of his way to help the beggars and the poor of his time. :/

Answer 5

Luke 12

13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.



Lesson of the widow's mite



Mark 12

38And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,

39And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:

40Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

41And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

42And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

43And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

44For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.







Does Jesus tell the widow she shouldn't donate? Does he demand the donations be dulled out to the widow?

Take notice of whom Jesus says to beware of before the widow donates. It is the people that decide how the donations are to be split. They dress themselves up in the finest of clothes and live the finest lifestyles.



Deuteronomy 12:31 You must not worship the LORD your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.

Answer 6

Would have been better satire if Jesus actually did support abortion and gay marriage.
