Can anyone imagine Jesus voting for Jerry Falwell or birds of similar feathering? Assuming they let poor outsiders with long hair vote.

I do get so tired of this elderly canard.

Jesus was not an "outsider" in Judaism. He was a Jew of Jews.

He was not particularly poor, as he had been a highly skilled artisan prior to taking up his ministry, and afterwards was supported by gifts from supporters.

His robe was the normal wear of Jews of his day, as were his long hair and beard.

Jesus disappeared into a crowd, he was not an oddly-dressed weirdo.

“Jesus was not an “outsider” in Judaism. He was a Jew of Jews.”

Amen!

“His robe was the normal wear of Jews of his day, as were his long hair and beard.” WRONG! However, I believe you are uneducated on this matter, not that you say it to perpetuate the falsehood.

It is a false depiction of my Lord, Jesus, as a long haired ‘hippy.’ Please visit
http://www.askelm.com/secrets/sec103.htm to learn “The Error of the Long-haired Jesus.” This image of Jesus is supported and endorsed by satan for it has brought many to his domain.

Kind regards,

Frankly, I think Jesus would have liked Jerry falwell, and still does! Jerry was true to his calling. We may not have likes everything he said, or how he said it, but to state he was not a man of God is to just not understand what the Kingdom of God is all about. (such is the case in the leaders of my denomination)
