Are you an idiot???? Your description of a liberal is all wrong. Do you even know what liberal and conservative means?

@phill884

Your argument makes sense and I will give you that. I myself believe that his liberal views are of a higher percentage than that of his conservative views by the word of the bible.

Liberal - marked by generosity : openhanded

Conservative - marked by moderation or caution : a conservative estimate

Centrist - often capitalized : a member of a "center" party

If he were to have a title it would be centrist this is my belief. Trust me Phill884 I respect your opinion and others as well.

@kingster1978 I would also like to stress that if you detect any pith or venom in my comments it is not directed at you but future conservatives that may visit this page. It annoys me greatly when people mistake subjective speculation for religious certitude or even a valid argument.

[phill884]

@kingster1978 To make it clear, it is my opinion that Jesus would be a Liberal when you take scriptures like Matt 25:31-46, 1 Timothy 6:18-19, James 5:1-6 and many others into consideration. I have yet to hear a single conservative use the bible to justify their opinions. Even revmike2's allusion to the cleansing of the temple is out of context with out direct quotes. I also find the inevitable Pro-Life argument shallow at best when you look at 40 years of lip service on the issue.

@phill884

Jesus had conservative and liberal views and that is a known fact. When you mix politics and religion together it's a never ending conversation. Majority of times people will go along with their thoughts or what they feel when in actually there is no substantial evidence proving their points to be correct/incorrect. I will respectfully disagree with you and your notion. Trust me I rather for each individual to get the information on their own and not be dependent on one for answers.

@phill884

You said and I quote "Ultimately, I respectfully disagree with both you and revmike2. He was not both and he wasn't neither."

(Wasn't neither) is a double negative and I am not trying to belittle your education because you seem somewhat educated. I'm just trying to make sure I am fully comprehending what you're implying so I can respond accordingly. If I am reading your statement correctly your opinion is indicating that Jesus is a conservative which I would completely disagree with.

@kingster1978 My original 4 point response to this (part 1) video, was in fact made after watching all 3. I chose to respond to this video on this page dealing with the conservative side of christ because I felt this was the place to do it.

[phill884]

@kingster1978Responding to the rhetorical question you posted was days late because I do not trollishly monitor these posts and the only reason I'm responding to you again now is because I had taken a week or so to consider a response to some one over in part 2 and stumbled back here for reference . If I am truly late for any thing, it would be that I am 3 years late to respond to this video in the first place.

@kingster1978 Your question about satan cumming after my 4 point response could be interpreted and was by myself to be a rhetorically insinuation that satan is a liberal. I apologize. I do not think your question was invalid in any way and I believe I answered it thoughtfully.

[phill884]

@kingster1978 Ultimately, I respectfully disagree with both you and revmike2. He was not both and he wasn't neither. I find it unsurprisingly inconsistent that when it comes to a liberal side of christ, specific bible verses are mentioned but when it comes to a supposed conservative side there is nothing but irrelevant statements and assertions with out foundation. I really wish christains would read their own bible once in a while.
