Well think about. Jesus Christ was the biggest social advocate of any person I've ever heard of. As a Progressive I feel such compassion towards mankind. Black, White, Asian, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, Man, Women, Transgender, I don't care. I believe that everyone deserves a chance at having a fulfilling life and who am I to stop them? Jesus didn't walk this Earth saying "Love one another, except those gay people, oh and minorities, oh and of course not Muslims or liberals. Gun rights save lives and anti-everything laws will help protect your children from the scary change of the future." Now I'm just being a little silly in that last sentence, but I hope you can see where I'm going with this. Jesus taught to love one another, unconditionally. My political views are completely based on how Jesus Christ lived his life, and that is why I consider myself a Progressive. Bias, intolerance, hatred, disgust, etc were hard things to overcome personally at certain points in my life, but I feel free now. I feel happy, and I only want to help people. |
well Jesus was never against for giving to the poor. but he wanting you, by yourself to willfully and joyfully give. not have government confescate your money and do with it what they please. in fact the Bible critizes goverment and tax collecters many times. government redistributing wealth is not giving.
yes jesus tells us to love every one. which includes people of all races and gender (which is obvious). but it also includes gays, transys, and everything in between. but that does not mean we love their actions. Jesus tells us to hate sin, which it is, but love the person. we are tought to pray for all sinners and we all sin. we arent tought to accept sinful actions.
edit: oops fixed big error in my first paragraph
