Heaven on earth can only exist when we create it. people often use religion to wait, no one lives the message of jezus for real. Not even charities do because charity is a band aid. We have to change this system, all people standing together, not because of belief , but because we are all equals and no one deserves to suffer.

The deception about "Jesus" is overwhelming. Not only that people have abused his words in order to justify their own greediness and exploitation of the world, but they also legitimize the current system of inequality by making themselves believe they were somehow "special" or "better believers" than others, just because they were born into a part of the system where all the money is unrightfully hoarded. You don't even have to know Jesus to realize that. Noone is special, especially not those.

TomOzzy@ Tony C. seems to suggest @2.50 min.

"Don't worry to much about sin creeping into your Churches in the form of homosexuality or feminism. Our main focus should be carrying for the poor."

This is waaaaaay of.

And at the end: We are NOT meant to be agents of social change. We are agents to change peoples eternal destiny.

I listened to this video now several times and gets more creepy every time.

TomOzzy@ The total of 31.000 verses in the bible convey the core message of Christ, it is the gospel: Man has fallen in sin and is therefor living under condemnation. Christ came to seek and save the lost and He calls every man to repent and live livess that glorify our father in haven. This was His main focus and worth for Him to die for. Reborn people, by their new nature, will be compassionate and feed the poor. Their main focus will always be: Go into the world and proclaim the gospel.....

@250ford350 There are 2 thousand verses of scripture that discuss the poor and helping them. Feeding the poor and clothing the naked was very much part of the central theme of Jesus's message. Doing those acts and works help strengthen the gospel to the unsaved and the lost. You can't expect the gospel to stick with someone if they are cold and hungry.

For a "Red Letter Christian" I don't know how he forgot what Jesus said before he mentioned the kingdom of God. Jesus said REPENT. Also notice that he didn't mention the babies who are murdered through abortion. Only infants.

Very much like the themes explores in Bruxy Cavey's book, The End of Religion. Organized christianity has spend centuries trying to ingore or explain away the actual teaching of Jesus as presented in the gospels. There is a better way and it's about our relationships with God, others and ourselves, not creeds, dogma and rituals.

@250ford350 ..in Social context what was preaching in the time of Yeshua?

[TheLionessjudah]

Christ said My Kingdom is not of this world. This world is the place where satan has his throne. I just came from John MacArthur and his sermon on Islam the 7 year tribulation, I would recommend this video for anyone who thinks that this man has some contributions. He has a confusion about Christ and is attempting to fit God/Christ into his world. Please listen to this video mentioned, because MacArthur exposes this point about Campolo' s misleading understanding of Christ.

The poor were His primary concern?? Jesus did not come to establish social or economic justice. We do not have any record of Him feeding the poor or giving money to the needy?? I am sure He did but was not considered the core of His ministry. He Himself said: "I have come to seek and save the lost" Luke 19, 10. He came to preach the gospel and to die for us so we could be saved.
