This week, actor and Bible expert Rob Reiner claimed that "Christians have no business being in politics. It goes against the teachings of Jesus. First of all, Jesus commanded his followers to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. This command came in answer to whether his followers should pay taxes. He pointed out that it was Caesar's image on the coins needed to pay taxes. Money in America has pictures of dead former presidents. Clearly it belongs to the government that generously allows people to temporarily use it. Christians who agitate or vote for tax cuts are simply out of step with their God."
"Secondly, Jesus urged his followers to love their enemies and turn the other cheek if they are assaulted," Reiner asserted. "Yet, politically active Christians resist the policies and directives their government has decreed they must obey. Though President Biden has declared that it is every woman's right to get an abortion we see Christians vocally contradicting their president, voting for the enemies of democracy who seek to limit this basic right, and protesting these essential medical procedures outside the doors of reproductive clinics."
"Worst of all, on January 6, 2021 we saw Christians assault the US Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the government the voters chose to rule over them," Reiner added. "Thankfully, many of these insurrectionists are now behind bars, but there are still millions more roaming free and planning to vote for Donald Trump. Don't they realize they are risking their own salvation by going against the commands that their lord and savior gave them? Jesus said 'the meek shall inherit the Earth.' I urge all true Christians to heed this advice."

Reiner is a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance. It must be in the California water (that they stole from northern CA).
And Rob Reiner has no business consuming oxygen, yet here we all are.......
Sure, like I’m going to look to Rob Reiner to tell me what Christians believe, especially as he tells me they should shut up and step aside and let untold millions of innocent babies be brutally slaughtered in their mother’s wombs. Sure, Rob.
Then neither do Jews. sort of a goose and gander thing.
I think politics were probably a big issue for Jesus and the Jews of His time.
the writers on “ All in the family” didnt have to think very hard about what Archie would call his son in law, and rob reiner didnt have to really stretch to act the part of “Meathead”.
Rob Reiner doesn’t want those he views as outsiders in the arena of politics because he considers politics his religion.
Exactly, there is no way one can call themselves a true Bible believing Christian and support the marxocrat party.
There’s good reason poor ol’ Rob is known as “meathead”.
