Isn't that how Isaiah came up with his "platform"?

So, if we look really, really closely we can discern Isaiah would have been a registered Democrat if he had only had the opportunity?

as the Christian Alliance for Progress argues, rather confusedly: "In his sermons and in his parables, Jesus teaches that poverty can certainly be an effective weapon of mass destruction."

I knew it had to be in there somewhere! Jesus' message equates to today's political buzzwords. It just takes a 'progressive' viewpoint to discern it. Or make it up out of thin air.

Jesus teaches that poverty can certainly be an effective weapon of mass destruction."

Jesus didn't seem to care too much about 'physical' poverty.

Mark 14:7  For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

Matthew 8:20  And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

[Desdemona]

"In his sermons and in his parables, Jesus teaches that poverty can certainly be an effective weapon of mass destruction."

So can wealth redistribution.

Poverty has so many meanings...do you think the Sermon on the Mount is anywhere in their gospel? That should be an eye-opener.
