The Liberal's Jesus

If Jesus were to somehow intervene or appear in the U.S. political domain as a potential supporter of a political party ~ the essence of your conjecture ~ what do you think He would make of Roe v Wade and same-sex marriages?

I didn't say anything of the sort. What I did ask you though, bearing in mind the thread topic, and the debate and discussion it invites, was: Do you believe Jesus thinks homosexual sex and abortions are "sins"?

Do you think it is a normal and tolerable discussion tactic to repeat a question endlessly?

Or is it just your wish to stroke out the most mileage you can out of your posts?

Or do you possibly think that I have the slightest intent of answering your "divide and conquer" questions, especially since you continue to disrespect me by inferring that I somehow do not know what the question is? I'd rather do almost anything other than engage you in these forums. The only reason I find it somewhat advantageous to answer any of your questions or to say anything to you at all is to hopefully evade the harassment you continue to shovel out for ignoring you.

You want to talk about which U.S. political party Jesus would hate. Presumably, you think the answer is the Republican Party. Right? What else would Jesus hate do you think? Would he hate abortions?

Maybe another American liberal Christian will step in and answer my question even if you don't.

If someobody willfully and consciously continues in homosexuality, without resisting it, and attempts to reconcile a homosexual lifestyle with Christianity, that is a heresy.

If somebody has homosexual temptations, occasionally falls into these temptations, but actively turns away from these lifestyles, etc., of course, this person is a regular ...[text shortened]... after the relationship already began. At least, this is the advice that is most commonly given.

Do you think that Jesus would be pleased if we started stoning homosexuals?

I don't know about that.

Jesus would probably counsel obedience to the laws concerning capital punishment.

Would Jesus counsel obedience to Roe v Wade?

Jesus is going to tell them he did not know them and he will not give them eternal life. That is worse than killing their physical bodies.

No, it wasn’t.

The Mary Magdalene incident would indicate otherwise.

No, not at all.

So we are really in luck that I didn't suggest that Christians literally enact punishments against non-Christians, aren't we?

That is really a fascinating thought, my friend.

... Would Christ support passive resistance or just quiet or even vocal protest against things like capital punishment or Roe V. Wade...

Great topic.

Answer the question. The question was about OUR behavior, not God's.

Great topic.

And miles off the topic.

And yet you advocate cutting them off from humanity, stop giving them social services, deny them basic human rights, kick them out of our churches, and strip them of all hope?

Yeah, how lucky.

Yes. Hark, a ray of hope appears.

It's not 'miles off topic'. Which U.S. political party would Jesus hate? ...is your question. Presumably, you think Jesus would favour the Democrat Party over the Republican Party. That's your stance, yes? Would He endorse the Democrat Party's support for Roe v Wade?
