Ocasio-Cortez said that her faith teaches her that Mintons life is sacred and that he deserves equal access to medical care.
There is nothing holy about rejecting medical care of people, no matter who they are, on the grounds of what their identity is, she said. There is nothing holy about turning someone away from a hospital.
Ocasio-Cortez, who identifies as Catholic, frequently refers to her religious beliefs on Twitter. Shortly after winning the 2018 Democratic primary, she published a piece in the Jesuit magazine America describing how her Catholic faith inspired her to fight for criminal justice reform. Echoing Pope Francis, she has also expressed support for refugees by pointing out that Jesus himself was a refugee.
The congresswoman said Thursday that America has a history of using scripture to justify bigotry.
White supremacists have done it, those who justified slavery did it, those who fought against integration did it and were seeing it today, she said.
She accused the Trump administration of advancing the idea that faith is about exclusion.
I know and it is part of my faith that all people are holy and all people are sacred. Unconditionally, Ocasio-Cortez said.
I am tired of communities of faith being weaponized and bein
Yes he would: an incredibly devout Israeli Jew who speaks out against hypocrisy?
The left would HATE, HATE, HATE that.
My guess is that the RINOs in Congress would criticize Jesus if He was continuing His ministry in the United States today . . . and the democrats would execute him. Comey, Brennan, and Clapper? Those traitors would be setting Jesus up for a trial under false charges.
AOC, a possessed soul, is a classic case of Biblical teachings going over the heads of some in the flock.
Now, AOC, get the flock out of here.
If Jesus came up to America’s Official Crackpot, she should ask HIM to grant her some smarts.
“her Christian faith to ardently defend the rights of LGBTQ Americans “ This horse’s ass is an abject fool.
Jesus was and is radical.
And I can certainly see him described that way negatively by a party which has platforms advocating things like coveting that which is their neighbors, and killing humans. They run on it.
Actually Jesus said homosexuals and other sexually immoral people will not be saved (and are going to Hell). Revelation 22. (The term “dogs” comes from Leviticus and is the Jewish term for homosexual.)
I get very tired of the “Jesus never said anything against A,B, or C” argument. Jesus said you need to be obedient to God’s commands and enter by the narrow gate, and most people are going to Hell because they are in rebellion against God.
I think she fell on her head while pole dancing.
This lady is genuinely nuts.
Jesus said do unto others. NOT send the government troops to take what you have, take a big chunk off the top for the government, and then buy the votes of those who you give it to.
Jesus WOULD be considered a radical by today’s standards. But, it wouldn’t be as a political radical.
He would be radically holy and radically truthful, and the AOCs of the world would crucify Him all over again.
Jesus is not going to show up again as one who is crucifiable.
AOC is a moron but, we knew that.
Shows ya how much she knows!
Jesus would only be maligned by the Congressional democrats in today’s Congress, not the Republicans who believe his words. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is trying to use Jesus and his teachings to shock voters into voting democrat. Somehow, I get the feeling she is only winning over the slow ones.
Hers must be different than mine...
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Leviticus niv
18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them;
they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it.
Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
================================================
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.
They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
They would accuse him of Hate Speech because of his stands on marriage, divorce, fornication and Him being the only way to the Father.
Jesus also said, “If anyone divorces his wife and marries another, he commits adultery, unless it be for sexual sin.” Sexual sin includes homosexuality to the Jews of Jesus’ time. What would she do with that statement?
There is nothing Constitutional about me paying for someone to use a hospital; when what they really need is a church/psychiatrist.
If Christ himself walked through these doors and said what he said thousands of years ago ― that "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment" (Matthew 22:37) thus providing the basis for the second great commandment - which makes self-mutilation to be sin - He would be maligned as a radical and rejected from these doors.
If Christ himself walked through these doors and said what he said thousands of years ago ― that "adulteries, fornications" etc. as sin - which murder includes that of killing the unborn - He would be maligned as a radical and rejected from these doors.
If Christ himself walked through these doors and said what he said thousands of years ago ― "that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh" (Matthew 19:4-5) ― thereby specifying that What God hath joined together was those of the opposite sex, thus rendering all other sexual relations to be fornication ― He would be maligned as a radical and rejected from these doors.
And the list goes on.
