What JG Green says is manifestly true. What did Jesus say in the Sermon on the Mount: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God ". Does that sound like Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin? Jesus also said, in the Sermon on the Mount: "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy". Does that sound the American so-called "conservatives" with their blood-lust fo endless executions; their enthusiasm for torture; and their boundlessly cruel hatred of immigrants

@michael1618034 @LordoftheKaty -- Friends at YouTube--what I have found is that how this is interpreted is based on how the "listener" interprets the word "liberal" --it has been a calculated propaganda tactic by Republicans to bastardize the word –because what Jesus advocated in his effort to build a good and decent society--cost their greedy fat cats taxes—so they made this altogether decent word –dirty and nasty—the rotten Bastards!

We were certainly a more compassionate country before fundamentalists hijacked Jesus back in the early 1980s (about the same time Islam was hijacked). Quite sad . . . money-grubbing televangelists, the moral majority, and other so-called Christians - the modern day Pharisees.

Well, thank God Jesus is no longer a GOP hostage! (lol) These clowns and hypocrites have nothing to do with Jesus' simple message. Good to see people finally waking up.

adjective

1. favorable to progress or reform, as in political or religious affairs." I'm guilty as charged, and it sounds like Jesus to me, and the founding fathers. Why do conservatives hate Jesus and America?

@Killdozer6006 - can't have mercy and forgiveness without law and justice.

My one quibble I have with Green is about the problem with the bible. It isn't just the Old Testament and/or the Book of Leviticus, it is with many other parts as well. I have created a page you can find by Googling "PaulvsAll" which shows how much damage "St. Paul" has done to the "Christian" movement. And Google "whatkindofgod" to find a site that shows that much of the bible features a god who is incompatible with the one Jesus promoted (despite the confusion featured in John's gospel).

[Rayosun4]

I concur that "What JG Green says is manifestly true" for the most part, and have been promoting the same at the extensive site(s) I have had online since 1996. For the perspective of a theologian who has founded the "Liberals Like Christ" movement, Google those words and look for his pages on "Christlike" to see how liberal Jesus was. And Google his "JesusnoRepublican" page to see how UNChristian the Republican Party is.

My one disagreement I'll post separately...

[MrTruthAddict]

@phsycopiano Yeah, except that he wasnt. He constantly spoke out against the hypocritical conservative Pharisees. He was a radical who was killed for being a threat to the status quo. Conservatives killed him.

[phsycopiano]

Jesus was a conservative.

[RonPaulGeorgeRingo]

If Jesus were walking the earth today . . . long hair, unmarried Jewish guy, without a "real job", wandering around with a gang of guys, and ex-prostitutes, calling out the "religious" leaders as hypocrites . . . the modern-day conservatives and Republicans would have NOTHING to do with Him. Indeed they would MOCK Him (and His LIBERAL ways).

last comment was a futher reply to JG Green -- but it only came through partially. I'll try to re-send.

[michael1618034]

@JGREEN56789 I hope you will keep on with this good work: it's vital, because this is a pivotal, formative time.

[michael1618034]

@michael1618034 JG green: You did a fine thing, a public spirited action. You've inspired me to try harder against the crazies who are trying to hijack our country (and also trying to hijack the real Christian teaching I deeply respect, which they besmirch every day with their igonorant ravings and their bigotry.
