Your argument is weak compared to God's Word. My vote is for the Lord by standing up for righteousness because His Word tell me that “I am the righteousness of God, in Christ Jesus.” Please, for your sake, read your bible before you speak of things you know nothing about.

They would get slapped in the face.. get proud and belligerent... and end up getting seriously hurt, or worse. "Turning the other cheek" is not about every day offenses. It was about HOW TO KEEP ALIVE under Roman occupation. Jews did not go around slapping other Jews in the face. Jesus was telling the Jews to drop their Jewish pride and stay alive! To show love instead of hate to the hateful. It had nothing to do with national defense. It had nothing to do with the execution of criminals. It had everything to do with staying alive under Roman occupation.

A community organizer? Jesus came to introduce and to set up an entire Kingdom! Come one, now! Obama followers must be getting their Bible study from Reverend Wright? Pilate had NO authority over Jesus! John 10:18 "No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father." Matthew 28:18 "Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." That's a community organizer to you? Jesus is a KING! Matthew 27:11 "Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" "Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied. Jesus came as a king who came in humility..not as an elitist! Community organizer!? HAH! "Governor" Pilate had NO authority over Jesus! Jesus was greater than any governor! Jesus was a Kingdom leader! John 19:11 "Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin." Community organizer!? That's plain stupid! Jesus? A community organizer?

Jesus came to introduce and to set up an entire Kingdom!

Pilate had NO authority over Jesus!

John 10:18
“No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”

Matthew 28:18
“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”

That’s a community organizer to you?

Jesus is a KING!

Matthew 27:11
“Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
“Yes, it is as you say,” Jesus replied.

Jesus came as a king who came in humility..not as an elitist!

Community organizer!? HAH!

“Governor” Pilate had NO authority over Jesus! Jesus was greater than any governor!

Jesus was a Kingdom leader!

John 19:11
“Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”

Community organizer!? That’s plain stupid!

The reason why I dont believe Jesus was a liberal is because he wasnt about the GOVERNMENT helping the poor. Instead he was about the PEOPLE helping the poor. I think if we all did our bit to help the underprivileged the money wouldnt be siphoned into things its not supposed to be. If we taught our sons and daughters that if we just did so much like cooking a dinner for our elderly neighbor who isnt making ends meet and cant afford enough groceries. I think our big churches should put more money into helping our poor instead of making their churches more "state of the art". I know they put a lot of money for the third world countries but if they reached out to our poor areas dont you think it would be beautiful? Especially if they DIDNT make it into a recruiting thing. I say this only because thats how people will see it at first. "They are only doing it for this reason". But if we did it without "spreading" the word of God and instead showed it through our actions and let them come to us what a wonderful thing this would be. Now I only found this through a search and have not looked throughout the site. One note I see is that Jesus was black. He was not. He was not white either. He was Jewish. His ancestry is notably accounted in the Bible so you can trace it. Okay I found this and I wanted to weigh in my lowly 2 cents.

If we define it as empowering the weak and powerless, then he did just that! But if we define it how YOU want to define it, to make Obama look bad, then let the spin begin! Jesus was a healer, a counselor, a listener, and liberal. He wasn't afraid to touch the sick and sinful (to bring them closer to the Father, of course). I like the way Jernigan cherry picks "Christian beliefs" (~sarcasm~). The sins you refer to (abortion and gay lifestyles/marriage) are just that--sins (albeit I don't agree with these choices/lifesyles in 99% of cases). All sins are equal in God's eyes...no sin is greater. We are all sinners and fall very short of the Glory of God...but my friend, there is a Savior and his name is Jesus. So if these are your breaking points and you vote for these reasons (and Christian beliefs) then why aren't you a Jehovah's Witness? They don't vote, yet cast their vote for the Lord. Also, do you believe in the death penalty? Many who oppose abortion believe in the death penalty as well. Where's the logic in that? Both are murder. And please don't caveat this topic...both are murder, period. Let's repent sinners and ask for forgiveness. Oh (self) righteous one….yes he did!
