"You don't even have to look for rights given by the Creater. How about rights given by the Constitution? You have a right to an abortion, but not a right to bear arms? What kind of carp is that? Only a Dimocrat could twist reality this badly.

Shalom."


Exactly, they are "gods" reestablishing world order.

The title should have read,

"Democrat Group says Jesus Christ would vote Democrat".

If Jesus were a Democrat, the Ten Commandments would go:

1. Thou shalt worship any God or false idol you wish to worship.
2. Thou shalt not kill... unless the victim is under 9 months of age.
3. Thou shalt envy thy neighbor's property if he is richer than you are, and try to raise his taxes to pay for your laziness.
4. Thou shalt not envy thy neighbor for his wife, end the envy by stealing her husband by luring him into homosexuality.
Etc...

Anyone who would use Jesus as political cannon fodder is not a Christian.

I am sure Jesus loves babies being murdered.

Jos 5:13And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, [Art] thou for us, or for our adversaries?
Jos 5:14And he said, Nay; but [as] captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
Jos 5:15And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest [is] holy. And Joshua did so.

These are the same folks that say Jesus would approve of gay marriage.

That's NOT what Christ meant when he said "Suffer the little children..."

"If ever there were a bleeding-heart liberal, it was Jesus Christ," Moore said at Congregation Agudas Achim synagogue. "I think the carpenter from Galilee was the original Democrat."

Boris, I wonder how this played at the synagogue? Because I hear from Jews that one of the big reasons for voting Democratic is the strong Christian identity of many Republicans, specifically GW Bush (not that they'd like him any better as a "secularist" I'm sure). If Jesus was a socialist, would he get a pass from secularist Jews?

What makes those guys religious experts?

We have a winner! The Roman Imperial denarius had on its "head" the image of Caesar (Augustus) and in the image below the reverse has the inscription "Divi F(ilius)" or divine son (son of god).

Jesus was addressing temple officials (mostly Sadducees) who owed their positions to the Roman authorities. He was asking, so who was/is "god" anyway? He turned away the wrath they'd intended by setting them up in return. I don't think he was endorsing human government at all.

It's a known fact...

How would Jesus vote?

A question that suggests a complete ignorance of the Bible. Jesus made it clear that He was not of the world.

The left often makes this argument during election time. They base it on the view that Jesus was a man of peace. The left is thus confusing worldly peace with eternal peace.
