On the last day, Jesus will say to those on His right hand, "Come, enter the Kingdom. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was sick and you visited me." Then Jesus will turn to those on His left hand and say, "Depart from me because I was hungry and you did not feed me, I was thirsty and you did not give me to drink, I was sick and you did not visit me." These will ask Him, "When did we see You hungry, or thirsty or sick and did not come to Your help?" And Jesus will answer them, "Whatever you neglected to do unto one of these least of these, you neglected to do unto Me!"
I agree, it would be funny to watch ALL of the corporations go to one side, and all the useless government union employees go to the other. Then it would be funny watching all these liberals chase out all of the evil corporations completely unabated by the right. Then watching them suffer and wake up and realise that government is not able to create wealth, or jobs, and none of them have jobs anymore, since all the "evil" corporations went to the side in which they could prosper. I would love to see the discrepancy in average quality of life between the 2 sides. All the useless leeches who live off the government tit would be screwed in both places, since there would be no wealthy people to support them in their socialist "utopia."
Yes jem that's very close to what he said (at least according to the gospels which were authored centuries after his death). Careful, you are starting to sound like a Jew. Jesus Christ as represented in the bible was very much a liberal.
one has to play lawyer when someone makes an assertion about a passage that is not evident in the words of the passage. Its not the religion that causes "lawyer"... it is the reader.
If I sound like a bible reading Jew that would probably be a good thing. I have always enjoyed talking to jews who have studied the bible. Note - to richter I took the part out about Jesus politics because I could not really convince myself.
He seems to be socially conservative, but then there are the bits about casting the first stone, seeing the log in your own eye, turning the other cheek, etc.
