How can you actually post that liberals do not believe in God? Jesus was very liberal. Read St. Mark, chapter 25, verse 35. It speaks of liberalism.

The Unitarian Church and the Quaker Church are both extremely liberal.

You sound like a troll just trying to stir the pot.

1. St Mark, chapter 25, verse 35 does NOT mention liberalism at all. It speaks to giving. Which, implies that you feel that for some reason, Republicans are less generous and giving to those in need.

2. A study by Rice Univ and PennState came to a conclusion about those identified as liberals or conservatives.

"“We found that while both Republicans and Democrats tend to equally value justice and caring for the vulnerable, Republicans place a much higher value on issues of purity and respect for authority,” said Karen Page Winterich, study co-author and assistant professor of marketing at Pennsylvania State University. “Given these differences, Republicans are more inclined to donate to a charity when these values of purity and respect are met, whereas Democrats are more inclined to donate when the emphasis is purely on equality or protection rather than respect"

Giving Differently: Liberals and Conservatives Have Radically Different Views of Charity

This study is from 2013

3. In October 2014, a study was done using IRS records, which found....

"It turns out that old Bushism about “compassionate conservatism” may not be a myth after all. In a new analysis of Internal Revenue Service tax records, the Chronicle of Philanthropy on Monday ranked U.S. cities and states by how much money their residents give to charity. The bottom line? People in red states are more generous with their green.

The study, which compared IRS data from 2012 with data from 2006, showed that the 17 most “generous” states -- as measured by the percentage of their income they donated to charity -- voted for Mitt Romney in the last presidential election. The seven states at the bottom of the list, meanwhile, voted for Barack Obama."

Charitable Giving By State: Are Republicans More Generous Than Democrats, Or Just More Religious?

I am not a Bible scholar, but would ask if someone who knows the Bible...did I miss something.

I might add that most liberals I know admit, to me anyway privately, that liberals have done a good job of purposely painting the entire Republican Party and conservatives as the opposite.

St. Mark Chapter 25 Verse 35


"35
h For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me,"

Quite bold, inaccurate, arrogant, brazen and many other adjectives to imply that only liberals rise to a level as promoted by Jesus.

I think this officer has/had seen enough of the black/white confrontation results and the circus that accompanies it especially if the media and the politicians and the special interest radicals decide here is another golden opportunity.

He either figured with the girl screaming and a camera just a few feet away he may have realized what was going to come from the media/poitical circus to follow.

Maybe he talked offline to his boss and then decided life is too short to become another Ferguson.

Or he had previously made up his mind this new black/white BS media circus is not worth what a cop has to go through and threw in the towel........like many are in how the currently do (or should say not do their jobs).

Where are the white protestors to come to his aid?

Actually, this post is disturbing. It is hateful to suggest something so inappropriate in the name of Jesus, and improperly using Bible quotes to help.

This poster needs to seriously look in the mirror.

No, The poster had said that liberals do not believe in God. Jesus was liberal. I know many of conservatives personally who are believers in God and are charitable. Same goes for liberals. We all know some liberals do not believe in God just as we know some conservatives do not believe in God.

This is just silly... There are no Liberal's left, the left wing of the Democrats no longer use that word they now identify as PROGRESSIVE.

Me, I did once claim to be liberal but alas I am to conservative on immigration for that label!!

It is hateful and inappropriate to say Jesus was a liberal? Why?

I think you need to define your definition of liberal.

Can't speak for the poster who wrote what you are referring to, but I find it offensive when someone takes one bible quote or portion of one and uses it for their own agenda, generally using it inappropriately. Many lies have been told over the centuries using the bible in that fashion. It is not a book where you can pick and choose. For those of us who believe in it, it is the book of life, to be read and understood in it's entirety.

Do you believe Jesus was a liberal or conservative? Please explain your reasoning.

The post I responded to said...liberalism was mentioned in the Bible....NOT TRUE. He gave chapter and verse where he said it was mentioned..NOT TRUE.

It implied,and I admit it was an implication, was the only dogma that abided by the teaching of Jesus, and somehow those not affiliated with liberalism are the only caring people on earth.

I debunked everything he said with detail

If I misread it, I am sorry, but I am pretty sure I know who posted it as he added the little barb about trolls, etc., thus I was not speaking with no substance.

While nobody should ever be so presumptions as to profess what people believe, ( as to say liberals do not believe in God) there are and have been, and continue to be posters who, ON THIS FORUM, have professed NON belief in God, and taken aim at any Christian who has strong beliefs.

I have no idea of anyone's personal beliefs, but I have grown weary of Christians having to explain their belief in God and morals. This kind of rhetoric, and this is what this poster had in mind for sure ...anyway, this kind of anti Christian rhetoric does tend to make you wonder about the belief system some have or do not have. Most, if not all, of the anti God, anti organized religion begins on the left, thus it does give you pause.

On this board alone, we were treated to an entire thread about that family on reality TV and the sexual charges. That thread was begun by a far left poster who we all know and was starte to "needle", "harass" Rev Huckabee because he had befriended this family. Many posts on there simply attacking people in one party, using the pretense of the relationship between Rev Huckabee and this family. I might add that the OP admitted the thread was based on Huckabee relationship, AS A MAN OF GOD.

Some posts on here are innocent errors, but some are deliberate attempts to mock, and the one you are correcting which was one of my two responses to this poster, was a inaccurate, not well veiled attempt to join Jesus with liberal politics of today.

I took offense to that and showed with statistics the total absurdity of the post.

I am sorry if I misread your defense of that poster, but I assure you I did not misread his post.

Who would ever be able to answer such a question, and who would be so arrogant and self absorbed as to ask it ?

Why would anyone ask that unless you felt "Jesus like" because of your political agenda, and felt that somehow, God is looking down and blessing one political ideology.

If that is a serious question, then the problem is deeper than we all believe.

To have the gall to place a political ideology mantle on Jesus is, to me, the epitome of arrogance and lack of any true belief.

To even hint to that as you do is quite offensive to me.

That implies that any Christian who worships Jesus in a conservative church, by someone's definition, is in the wrong place...well, you think much more of yourself than I think of myself.

And I might add, this little trick of using Jesus in a tool for political means is not that new, but remains offensive

How has a ridiculous thread on a policeman that did not act in accordance with his department policies become one to call him a coward and then morph into liberalism and the Bible?

I think it has spun so far off topic that I suggest we quit it voluntarily.

Okay?
