Jesus is NOT a politician!



I am sick and tired of right wing political nitwits twisting and turning the principles of Christianity to suite their own political views. Much to often Christianity enters the right’s fight for political agenda in this country. Not only is this an insult to the Americans who are not Christians, but it is against the principles Jesus Christ taught when he dwelt among us as a man.

Here is a brief passage from the New Testament, King James Version;

13Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words. 14They came to him and said, "Teacher, we know you are a man of integrity. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? 15Should we pay or shouldn't we?" But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. "Why are you trying to trap me?" he asked. "Bring me a denarius and let me look at it." 16They brought the coin, and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied.17Then Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." And they were amazed at him.
MARK 12:13-17

Jesus, MY LORD AND SAVIOR! DID NOT TEACH JUDGMENT! He taught love and knew that if you preach the true testament of God with love, that the seed would be planted and grow the hearts of many. Truthfully, In the days of Jesus it was the religious people that wanted to kill him. When people are blinded by traditional and ritual they miss the point.

God is the judge, NOT ANY HUMAN BEING! We as children of God are suppose to lift each other up, not condemn one another. When religious right wing groups give mountains of money to politics, they should be funding more outreach to poor communities. Instead of filling politicians’ pockets whom believe that the poor need to fend for themselves. Jesus did not believe this. Jesus taught God’s way, and fulfilled God’s promise of love.

WHAT MAKES RELIGIOUS RIGHT WING GROUPS ANY DIFFERENT THAN HITLER AND THE SS, OR ISLAM AND THE JIHAD? IN MY MIND NOTHING? GOD'S WAY IS LOVE, FORGIVENESS, COMFORT, UNDERSTANDING. NOT JUDGEMENT AND PROFIT.
