Where in the bible does Jesus say--READ MY WORDS?

You haven't shown me anything that opposes scripture.

Rather, what is Jesus saying today that the organized church refuses to hear>?


Allow EVERYONE to marry, provide health care for EVERYONE, HOUSE ALL the homeless, pay a living WAGE for everyone..greed is bad, hording is evil, and refusing to pay what a person's labor is worth is insulting to Jesus.

Lastly, Jesus reminds everyone-- I DID NOT STUTTER WHEN I SAID EVERYONE!

Greed, yes, but why should we believe you about the remainder? Other Christians would say Jesus spoke about individual behaviors, rather than support of socialism. The US is not a Christian country.

I remind you the organized church has done much for the poor and sick. Hospitals, food pantries, care for widows and orphans. To say the church doesn't care is just nonsense.

What are you referring to by your last statement? Everyone what?

I see you’ve achieved a nearly perfect balance of inner strength, quiet confidence and courage of your convictions.
If we ever need a calm, effective leader who can inspire people and deliver results, we’re calling you.

You make up your own theology.

"Whoever speaks on his own seeks his own glory but he who seeks the glory of the One who sent him is truthful and there is no unrighteousness in him." says the son of man.

He didn't die for anyone's sins.
