Explain how Jesus’s message is bad for the Religious Right.
The Good Samaritan story is about personal charity. It is not about welfare. This is a very common mistake (or manipulation tactic more likely) leftists make.Are you familiar with the Sermon on the Mount? How about the Parable of the Good Samaritan? Or the Judgment of the Nations?

He preached about social justice about ten times more than anything else.Explain how Jesus’s message is bad for the Religious Right.
That quote is used mostly by those who don't want to give.The Good Samaritan story is about personal charity. It is not about welfare. This is a very common mistake (or manipulation tactic more likely) leftists make.
2 Corinthians 9:7
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
No he didn’t.He preached about social justice about ten times more than anything else.
Egypt was part of the Roman Empire, Mary and Joseph did not cross borders illegally. Trying to use that story to defend illegal border crossings is a wicked twisting of scripture.He himself was a refugee in a strange land as a child.
Even when people welcome refugees it is still a tremendously traumatic experience. I am sure Jesus weeps for those whose journey was even more traumaticthan his due to the cruelty of others.Egypt was part of the Roman Empire, Mary and Joseph did not cross borders illegally. Trying to use that story to defend illegal border crossings is a wicked twisting of scripture.
I also recall the couple in Acts who were struck dead because they did not share their abundance with others...And yet you have no argument as to why it’s incorrect. Also it’s an appeal to motive fallacy.
Maybe Jesus weeps (but He is in Heaven so....) over Americans who have been raped &/or murdered by illegals...Even when people welcome refugees it is still a tremendously traumatic experience. I am sure Jesus weeps for those whose journey was even more traumaticthan his due to the cruelty of others.
wow, I usually get your posts but not this one.Better Jesus be elected President than Moses. With Moses in control, women who get raped in a urban environment could be executed for not screaming loud enough to make a neighbor here them. Personally, I don't think they considered that rapists have the option of covering a woman's mouth or simply knocking her unconscious,
not to mention that God made it clear they had to go there. It looks like God is not into violating "Caesar's" laws... (now called Laws made by the US legislature)Egypt was part of the Roman Empire, Mary and Joseph did not cross borders illegally.
Right. Did Jesus tell a parable about a man beaten badly and the person who stopped to help went to find a government worker?The Good Samaritan story is about personal charity. It is not about welfare. This is a very common mistake (or manipulation tactic more likely) leftists make.
True, they LIEDThey were struck dead because of their deception.
HUH????I have even welcomed the moral failure of priests and politicians so I could have excuses to self-righteously look down on people who have more authority and attention than I get.
K, and did you (or others) see where it is written In Scripture that Jesus is the Spirit ?It says that right there in the Word.
But a lot of people just see what they want to see in the Word.... No wonder Jesus said few find the narrow way to heaven... most people are stuck in this world.. so stuck, apparently, they can't even see it
In my case, I have even welcomed the moral failure of priests and politicians so I could have excuses to self-righteously look down on people who have more authority and attention than I get.
YEAH! COOL!HUH????
