WWJD? In his own Words: Jesus' Positions on:
Taxes "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's? [Matt 22:21]
Poverty ?... for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.? [Matt 25:35-36]
Income Distribution ?Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.? [Matt 20:14]
Organized Religion ?you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.? [Matt 23:27-28] ?For you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation [Matt 23:14] ?Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it. [Matt 23:16] "Brood of vipers!? [Matt 3:7; Luke 3:7] ?Provide neither gold nor silver nor copper in your money belts, nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs...? [Matt 10:9-10] ?take nothing for the journey except a staff--no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts-- but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.? [Mark 6:8-9] ?Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals? [Luke 10:4] ?Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!? [John 2:16] "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.? [Luke 16:15]
Sexual relations outside Marriage "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." [John 8:7] But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery. [Matt 5:32] "You have well said, 'I have no husband,' for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly." [John 4:17-18] You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. [Luke 7:45]
Worship and Service He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, [John 13:5] If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. [John 13:14]
Crime & Punishment But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. [Matt 5:39] To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. [Luke 6:29]
Death Penalty "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." [Luke 23:34]
Nuttin' like taking texts out of context and using them as a pretext for error.
No kidding. The entire Book has to be read to truly understand it.
Pinging just to watch everyone take this apart.
Looks like we need to empty out are prisons and dismantle the entire criminal justice system. According to your logic.
Congratulations.
You have scriptures posted for every one of your topics that have nothing whatsoever to do with any of your topics.
That must have been hard.
"...take nothing for the journey except a staff--no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts-- but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.? [Mark 6:8-9]"
Do you ever wear shoes?
"You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. [Luke 7:45]"
That was sex? Are you saying Jesus engaged in sexual activity?
This story is not about income distribution. It is about minding your own business. Jesus told the story of a man that paid workers the same rather they worked one hour or seven hours. Those that worked seven complained feeling they should be paid more than those that worked only one.
how about...SO BE IT UNTO YOU AS YOUR FAITH IS?
the headings are yours. they do not represent the text you quote. you may as well have written "cake recipe" for all the accuracy here................
Pal, you are totally lost. When you really learn about the bible, try again; for the time being, you are showing your complete ignorance.
You left out an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.you can not quote scriptures for your own beliefs.
Anyone who implies that Christ had sexual relations with a woman simply because He allowed her to kiss His feet needs to read the Word of God.
Some are afraid of having sex while standing, because it might lead to dancing. What a bunch of rubbish this is!
