Yes. No question the NCC is left-leaning and self-serving. But do you think Jesus did not "call for us to stand up for peace and justice in the world?"
You just know that cryto-socialist organisations like the NCC mean something rather different when they say "peace and justice". Centralised control, world government and persecution of thoughtcrime: these are the Left's gifts to humanity.
As for Jesus: He calls us to protect the widow and orphan, to love our neighhbour as ourselves - and to eat His Body and Drink His Blood. Some of his message fits more easily into left wing-tropes than others :0)
Of course Satan's best lies are not outright but more subtle. What better way to promote his agenda than by calling it something good?
Jesus is not a sandal wearing Hippie Communist. He is strong Patriarch and a Peacemaker.
The Peace Jesus Speaks of is preaching the Gospel not Socialism.
Matt. 10: 34 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Luke 12: 51 51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Col. 2: 8 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Rom. 10: 15 15 And how shall they apreach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
But do you think Jesus did not "call for us to stand up for peace and justice in the world?" Yes. I think Jesus was apolitical. A lot of those standuppers just drive by the ghetto schools on the way to the whole foods stores.
