If Jesus was running for president as an independent 3rd party, what would his positions be? (racist, Saddam)

[James420]

I think Moses would be a better candidate, more conservative and he had foreign policy experience, he could see Israel from his porch.

[Lolipopbubbles]

I voted non of the above because he is automatic win being the son of god and god incarnate. So being that or even just considered that he's automatic win and runs the world not just running for office. His first rule would be ......stop killing each other!

[Sunnysee]

Welll, let's see.....Bible clearly says that he who doesn't work, doesn't eat! Hmm.....Jesus worked..He was not only a Fisher of men, but a fishermen, ya know with nets, in a boat.

There exists a theme that our bible is indeed saturated with. It is that, like it or not, the Jews are a chosen race and God blesses those that bless them and curses those that curse them. Jesus was a Jew. Jesus was a gentle giant, not a milquetoast wimp.

That was Jesus that got angry and turned tables over in the temple. That was Jesus that told one of the apostles to put his sword down...ahem......why was Jesus allowing the guy to travel with him while carrying. The sword was the "gun of their day!" Hmmm.....

So who wins an election, Jesus or Moses?

[Swingblade]

Jesus would be on the right considering during his ministry he was accused of hanging around publicans and sinners. See the republicans have biblical roots and the re was just added in the 19th century

Charity is not taken, while a boot is on your throat.

[badhornet]

Jesus Martinez or Jesus Rodriguez?

Jesus came for the remission of sins.Jesus died to reunite our relationship with God our maker. To follow Jesus for just the miracles and healing is not the purpose of Christ. His will for us was to follow him . When one follows Jesus as their Lord is to live for him.

Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to his believers to guide them and walk righteously. We are tested and tried in this world which satan rules. But Jesus has overcome the world.

It is with the grace of God we walk with Jesus. As a babe in Christ one may stumble and fall but we get up and walk righteously and confess our sins. As we get strong in the Lord we become more righteous and can discern good from evil. We take on the armor of God which is the word of the Lord , the breastplate of righteousness and the fiery darts of Satan can no longer sting.

Jesus came to salvage all those lost and tossed about by this world that is fallen and cursed. Jesus also blesses those who walk with him with life more abundantly and power in their life that is Christ given.

We no longer find those things as they are removed, that which have bound people with lust, greed,fear, and no direction. God replaces that with self control, contentment faith , and wisdom .

The purpose of Jesus is not always asking , it is giving as Jesus gave . Jesus loved the poor but he also will create wealth to those who work and are diligent. In proverbs it talks about a viruous woman who buys a field and plants a vineyard, Selects wool and flax and works with eager hands
She brings her food from afar
She gets up while it is dark and provides food for her families
and servant girls
Buys a field and out of earnings plants a vineyard
Arms are strong for tasks
Her trading is profitable; lamp does not go out at night
Grasps the spindle with her fingers
Opens her arms to the poor and needy
Keeps children clothed
Makes bedding
Makes clothes for herself
Makes linen garments and sells them
Faithful instruction is on her tongue
Watches over affairs of the household

To work is honorable. To be a sluggard not honorable.

How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man. Proverbs 6:9-11 (ESV)
This week’s verse is probably not a terribly profound one, but still a valuable one. It’s a reminder of the importance of working hard and avoiding sloth. Basically the questions being asked, in modern vernacular, are “Are you going to lie there on that couch forever? When are you actually going to get up do something?” Ahhhh, not exactly pleasant questions to hear!
Certainly there is a time to rest – even God rested on the seventh day during creation and set aside the Sabbath for man to take a day of rest as well. So, I do not believe that the main point of these verses is that you can never take a break. Rather, I feel that this verse underscores the importance of not extending that rest to ridiculous proportions.
The result of all this resting and sleeping and taking it easy is that poverty will be upon you. In other words, lazy people don’t make much money to support themselves and their family. I do find it interesting the similes that are used to describe how this happens. “Like a robber” poverty will come upon you. You’re lounging around (again) and you don’t even notice that poverty has seized you. And “want” for necessities and niceties follows this lack of resources and that is described as an “armed man.” In other words, at this point, you’re stuck with this poverty and want, you’re forced to accept it.

- A hand up for the poor, not just a hand out.
- Nuclear disarmament.
- Taxes to reduce income disparity
- Free healthcare and education for all.
- An end to wars and bloodshed being fought in his name
- Promotion of tolerance of all races, colours and creeds.
- Policies enacted to protect and preserve the environment rather than destroy it.
- Investment in alternative and clean energy.
- Promption of faith and spiritually rather than materialism.

I'd vote for him!

Except no one could understand anything he said. He st-st-st--s-s-s-stuttered and sp-sp-sp-s-sp-spit all over people, so Aaron had to speak for him.

All for bible accuracy...

Gotta love christian ignorance.

Romans 13:1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except by God’s appointment,...

Refresh my memory....who is god? Isn't Jesus god when it's Yaheh's turn to be Casper the Friendly Spirit Ghost and then when it's Yahweh's turn to be god, Jesus is Casper the Friendly Spirit Ghost, right?

Or wait, isn't Jesus his own dad? That's how that works right, because, you know, polytheism would be like a step backward.

Anyway, let's rewrite they, uh, infallible scripture of god:

Romans 13:1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except by Jesus’ appointment,...

So Jesus appointed Hitler. Now why would Jesus do a damn fool thing like that?

Romans 13:1 ...and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.

You all claim Jesus is god, correct?

So, we can rewrite that as:

Romans 13:1 ...and the authorities that exist have been instituted by Jesus.

Let's continue shall we?

Romans 13:2 So the person who resists such authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment.

We can re-write that as:

Romans 13:2 So the person who resists such authority resists the ordinance of Jesus, and those who resist will incur judgment.

Because, you know, Jesus is god, right?

Okay, so that means people like Harriet Tubman and others who helped Negro slaves resist authority are now burning in Hell for their sins. And poor Oskar Schindler. For helping the Jews and resisting Hitler (a favorite appointed by Jesus), Oskar is burning in Hell.

And you people want to vote for Jesus?

Jesus: Vote for me. I gave you Pol Pot and Stalin. Love me. Love, love me do. Or I'll give you another Hitler to play with.

I hope for your sake's Jesus picks better leaders in Heaven.

Laughing hysterically...
