Either a bogus poll or they only polled biblically-illiterate Christians.
He woudn’t do such a thing. He’d just heal you. Universal healthcare has nothing to do with healthcare but the idiots that post this nonsense can’t see past their own nose to understand why.
It’s always so amusing when state-controlled media pretends to know what Jesus would do.
Uh, is this “recent poll” equating Hussein Obama with Julius Caesar?
The fact is universal health care already exists.The question of who pays for it is the problem.
Until then, I'm not willing to take anyone's word what anyone else would 'do'.
I am truly sick and tired of this tired old discussion: What would Jesus do?
Truth is Jesus disliked government and politics. His message was centered on the Kingdom of God, not this world.
Jesus would say to render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, in reply over whether one should pay taxes to the occupying Roman Empire.
This was money taken by threat of force to be used by the Empire to do things that Jesus would NOT approve of.
So whatever taxes you are assessed, you must pay, if you are a Christian.
However, in this Empire, we have the right to make our voices heard and vote accordingly.
The New Testament makes it clear that giving should be done from the heart, freely, without compulsion. Indeed, the case for giving is very stronly made, but it is a matter of the heart, not a matter of force.
Can I choose Jesus as my Personal Physician?
His previous medical practice had some impressive results.
AND ... Jesus also won’t allow soldiers or armies or guns — or even weapons to be owned. He also won’t allow ANY FREEDOM OF RELIGION.
And, in terms of our discussions here on this forum, he won’t allow the BILL OF RIGHTS or the US Constitution to be operative.
SO ... I wouldn’t be making comparisons to what Jesus, as the Messiah of Israel, is going to have in his ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT!
Most Americans are dumber than rocks.
I think these people are confusing Jesus with Judas.
We had universal healthcare before Obama destroyed it.
No Jesus wouldn’t... he would say that you as an individual must see to the needs of the needy, and that the job of government is to make it easier for individuals to give as they prosper by the work of their own hands... he would say that governments are soulless and bureaucracies are corrupt and inefficient. Only the heart of an individual can be moved to assist the needy.
Most Americans are just what they accused the Pollock’s of being: stupid:
What would Jesus think of big, corrupt government? He didn’t think much of the ruling class Sadducees in his time.
Socialism is the idea that society would be better if we all lived at the expense of everyone else. This is plainly an institutionalized violation of the Commandments that forbid coveting and theft.
That society would really be better off is a lie, another sin.
It would be great for people who love God and His Law to explain to the public exactly that Jesus does support private voluntary charity but that He defines income redistribution as sin. See for example Matthew 20:15.
Proverbs 3:5-6 New International Version (NIV)
5 Trust in the Lord [not government] with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him [the Lord, not the president],
and he will make your paths straight.[a]

Proverbs 3:6 Or will direct your paths
Too many people today would say ‘in government we trust’ and look to the government to provide all their needs. They have turned their backs and walked away from God.
