Libertarians say Jesus was Libertarian

Democrats say Jesus was Liberal

Republicans say Jesus was Conservative

That's how it's always been. Each political party picks and chooses what they agree with and run with it. Mystery solved.

Not me, I'm a conservative and I say Christ was a Savior!

Yah, but there's a problem. One of them may be right, because there IS a right and wrong. Just because "everyone has an opinion" doesn't mean there is no truth.

Since Jesus is God manifest in the flesh, we only have to look at the theocracy of the ancient Israelites to see what 'party' Jesus would have been a member of.

Yes and No.

I believe the Gospels of Matthew and Mark are clear about the anti-establishment behaviors of Jesus. He disdained the lofty priests and pharisees. He even was sly about the issue of taxes: if the coin has Caesars picture on it, give some back to Caesar, if it doesn’t keep it to yourself.

People forget to analyze this in light of the culture. The Jews had their own currency though sometimes they would be paid in Denari (Caesar’s money).

Jesus also worked on the Sabbath and bid his disciples do so as well.
