Obama: Jesus would tax the rich

Politico ^

[Sub-Driver]

He has issues with other people's money.........

[brownsfan]

I am offended by a muslim like Obama speculating what Jesus would or wouldn’t do.

Hussien, stick to what you know, mo-ham-head.

"We can all benefit from turning to our creator, listening to him"

Listen more closely you asswipe, and you might hear Almighty God telling you to stop presiding over the ever expanding number of murders of the unborn.

King Ahab thought he was a real godly guy too.

Must be campaign time.

[steve8714]

The passage has to do with knowledge and punishment for offense and misfeasance, not money or taxes.

[luvie]

That moron has NO idea what Jesus would do since he’s probably never voluntarily opened a Bible to find out! GRR!

"from Jesus’s teaching that ‘for unto whom much is given, much shall be required.’"

I believe Obama's thinking is more akin to Marx's teachings "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."

Looks like Barry actually was listening to Rev. Wright for 20 years.

[reasonisfaith]

Jesus would not tax anyone.

Jesus would ask the rich to give freely, of their own heart, for the purpose of glorifying God.

[grumpygresh]

So Jesus is working as a tax collector or bureaucrat for Caesar and the State is God. Let me see if I can find the verse.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Rich people just like Warren Buffet’s secretary.

[woweeitsme]

His interpretation of this passage is incredibly wrong and not taken in the context in which He was talking.

As a Christian, I can’t judge him, but when he spews fallacies, he must be called on it.

[MestaMachine]

OR requiring jizya.

[Sudetenland]

“Avoiding phony religiosity…. This is especially important right now when we’re facing some big challenges as a nation.”

Wow! Does he even see the irony in his comments?

Pot--Kettle.

[hometoroost]

Jesus never took anything from anyone at the point of a bayonet.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

The scriptures show that Jesus never supported forced compassion (Socialism) - Obama - but the scriptures show, too, that he didn’t support heartless capitalism, either - (Romney).

[righttackle44]

There is a coming Day when Obama will get to account directly to Jesus for that statement. I’m really waiting to see what Jesus has to say about a Muslim claiming to channel Christ the Lord.

This reaks of desperation.
