From the comments on the site link, this is an old article from when Cain was a minister and not a politician and was in response to claims Jesus was gay and a liberal.

Perfectly asinine misuse of the Gospel.

I’m skittish about drawing the one-of-a-kind Christ into comparison with modern political scenarios. This is interesting, but it isn’t really deep theology and could be misleading. Pontius Pilate was personally inclined to do the right thing — he understood that the charges being hurled at this strange Jesus of Nazareth were nonsense — but he ended up selling out to the crowd. That’s plain old corruption, not “liberal.”

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

This guy is the only running Republican I’ll leave the house to vote for.....

There’s a time to avoid trouble by retreating, and a time to stop, turn, and tell your emboldened pursuer “bring it you bastard.”

As far as I’m concerned, a Cain presidency will buy a little more retreat. Any other, and I say let Obama win.

Ironically the original Cain in the Bible was the very first libtard. Cain envied his brother Able to the point of hate then murder. Herman Cain is the anti-Cain.

He helped the poor without one government program. He healed the sick without a government health care system. He [fed] the hungry without food stamps

The essence of conservatism.

Christian love comes from charity, not from social engineers who have power to decide who is neediest.

Bottom line...FREEDOM to give, work, live...that's the American way.

Oh FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

I cannot believe some of the responses on this thread. I posted that article on Free Republic when Cain wrote it - it was at Christmas time on North Star writers (a Christian publication) and I thought it was beautiful. No it was not a “perfect analogy” because there is no such thing as a perfect analogy.

Here is the whole piece:

He was not born into a royal family, but He left a royal impression on the world.

For 30 years, He learned the ways of the world without becoming of the world. He then changed the world for the better.

He led without a mandate. He taught without a script. His common sense parables filled people with promise and compassion, His words forever inspiring.

Power.

He never condemned what others believed – just sin, evil and corruption.

He helped the poor without one government program. He healed the sick without a government health care system. He feed the hungry without food stamps. And everywhere He went, it turned into a rally, attracting large crowds, and giving them hope, encouragement and inspiration.

For three years He was unemployed, and never collected an unemployment check. Nevertheless, he completed all the work He needed to get done. He didn’t travel by private jet. He walked and sailed, and sometimes traveled on a donkey.

But they made Him walk when He was arrested and taken to jail, and no, He was not read any Miranda Rights. He was arrested for just being who He was and doing nothing wrong. And when they tried Him in court, He never said a mumbling word.

He didn’t have a lawyer, nor did He care about who judged Him.

His judge was a higher power.

The liberal court found Him guilty of false offences and sentenced Him to death, all because He changed the hearts and minds of men with an army of 12.

His death reset the clock of time.

Never before and not since has there ever been such a perfect conservative.

For over 2,000 years the world has tried hard to erase the memory of the perfect conservative, and His principles of compassion, caring and common sense.

His followers are now millions and millions the world over, as those who resent Him have intensified their attacks on who He was and what His followers believe.

The attacks are disguised as political correctness, or a misunderstanding of the First Amendment to the Constitution. Separation of Church and State does not mean Separation of Church from State. The State cannot impose Church on the people, but the people can display and say as much Church in the public square as they desire.

Our Founders recognized that distinction, which helped to inspire the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the founding of this nation – The United States of America!

We must be the Defending Fathers and the defenders of the perfect conservative.

That’s why I proudly wish one and all a very Merry Christmas!

Well the Bible talks a lot about our political, economic, current events.

Jesus told his followers to take care of the poor. Never told the government to take care of the poor.

“He helped the poor without one government program. He healed the sick without a government health care system. He [fed] the hungry without food stamps. “


And since Jesus isn’t here to do these things, He expects us to follow His Way.

Can we please keep Jesus out of the political discussion?

He is king of another kingdom, and the fools in positions of power around the world are just getting the world ready for his final move.

Cain is just playing with words.

The Sadduccees and Pharissees probably aligned with liberals and conservatives, respectively.

Jesus was a “Truther” movement that had to do with his own birth credentials.

Last week we had “render unto Caesar.”

I was surprised to learn that Jesus was being asked if it is PERMISSIBLE to pay taxes, not whether it was good, or right, or required.

The lesson is merely that God is not offended when/if we pay our taxes.

Jesus was in this world, but not of this world.
