Have a hard time believing Jesus was a liberal when not one of his disciples was a woman.
"Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Matthew 19:24
"There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented" Luke 16:19-25
"If there is a poor man among you, one of your brothers, in any of the towns of the land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart, nor close your hand to your poor brother; but you shall freely open your hand to him, and generously lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he lacks." Deuteronomy 15:7
Jesus was essentially the most socialist, hard left wing person in the history of the world.
That is the problem with these modern preachers, they read other books than the bible.
Yeah...in this age of satellites, air travel, drones and instant world wide communication if a person is still taking advice from ignorant primitives who believed in witches, thought the planet was flat and wiped their ass on their hands they really need to make a change....just my opinion.

I wouldn't want to attend a church where politics are part of the sermon at all. I left a church once because the priest was going on and on about taxes and whatnot every week.

The first time a preacher talks about anything except religion his church should forfeit it's tax free exemption. After all: in this age of satellites, air travel, drones and instant world wide communication if a person is still taking advice from ignorant primitives who believed in witches, thought the planet was flat and wiped their ass on their hands they really need to make a change....just my opinion.
The sermon started out great today. The pastor was talking about how all living things, and even non-living things such as mountains, sing praises to the Lord just by being what they are meant to be.
Then he turned an excellent sermon into a political rant.
He started to say that humans are responsible for global warming, when this is still a controversial topic.
He mentioned Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth and even conceded that global warming has occurred in periods before fossil fuels, as Gore states in his book.
He said that Gore was mainly concerned with our own civilization - not the Earth - which will regenerate on its own - which makes it rather clear that Gore just wants to sell books and expand control and regulation, which is the wet dream of all liberals.
The pastor even mentioned Earth Day.
I thought that was the final straw, until he gave the benediction and said these words:
"Think globally, and live liberally".
But, but, the left NEVER uses the pulpit. Find a new church and send a letter to his superiors.
If humans aren't responsible for global warming, then what is?
Please explain how man caused the Ice Age then its decline.
