Of course the media just has to trot out a bunch of liberal hacks under the guise of "religious experts" none of whom probably have read the Bible since they were kids.

It's a funny question - WWJV. He doesn't have to as He sets above nations whom He will!

Jesus is an illegal Mexican who shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Just a few miles from George W. Bush's former office at the state Capitol, a panel of religious experts Tuesday weighed a question with relevance to many people of faith: How would Jesus vote?

Did any of them bother to ask Him?

Jesus wouldn't vote... He'd run as a Republican.

"It would be a surprise to a lot of folks to discover that there are some very faithful, regular church attendees who aren't going to vote for Bush."

Yeah, members of the Church of Satan.

That reminds me of some disturbing somewhat off topic info i heard today on Medved. I assume the info comes from captured terrorists. Apparently there were large numbers of Canadians in the Afghan terror camps.

Most disturbing was the claim that terrorists were trying to infiltrate churches to attack as christians.

Unitarian Universalists . . . and black Americans of every denomination.

It all depends...If Jesus were a Jewish voter in West Palm Beach, Florida, he'd probably mistakenly vote for Buchanan.

Yes, I am sure Jesus was a burn-the-flag, marry-the-gays, raise-the-taxes and abort-the-babies Democrat.

These guys always say that Jesus was a liberal, who fought for the poor, and was all about love and forgiveness. Of course the problem with all of this is that its a canard that conservatives don't care about and advocate for the poor and don't practice love and forgiveness.

What they are really about is using such trite rhetoric to mask their far-left, clearly anti-Jesus/Christian agenda which includes gay marriage and abortion on demand, things that are out of the maintream of most Americans, let alone most Christians. That's why they decry the attention those two issues get -- because they are out of touch.

Its no different than when they say the Founding Fathers were 'radicals' and liberals; as if their 18th century liberalism in anyway transfers to today. The FFs would be spinning in their grave if they could see how the Dems have expanded the role of govt beyond anything authorized in the Constitution, and if they could see how the Left resorts to judicial activism to impose their most radical policies on the nation.

You have two profiles of Jesus in the New Testament - one passive and meek, the other fiery and passionate.

Both profiles agree on one thing - that Jesus had a dim view of hypocrites.

That's the Jesus I root for.

Interesting.
I believe there's a passage about special torment for those who are charged with leading God's flock and don't follow his ways.
The parts these Leftists love are the "God is a Loving God".
They tend to miss that part about judgement that is everywhere also.
Do a study of how God treats his enemies who directly defy Him in the Old Testament.
He HUMILIATES and DESTROYS them. Our God is a jealous and Holy God.
You don't play spin games with the Almighty.

Anyone who has read the book of Romans in the Bible knows fer-sure that Jesus would not be on the same side as the Demoncrats when it comes to supporting gays.

Many at the conference voiced concerns that the religious right dominates discussions of faith and morality in politics. They complained that issues such as abortion and gay marriage seem to take priority over hunger, corporate crime and even the war in Iraq.

I guess these good clergy and lay leaders were too busy thinking about politics to worry about what the Bible says about abortion and homosexuality.

"If ever there were a bleeding-heart liberal, . . .

. . . Jesus Christ would have healed it!

Jesus would have been front and center at the Democrat National Convention. And he would have told them "Go and sin no more!"
And they would have screamed "Separation of Church and State" and tossed him out onto the street.

I don't know, but I suspect that Jesus might slap us all silly. He was and still is above all politics.

A house divided against itself cannot stand This term's origin comes from the bible (Matthew 12:25). 'And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand'.

He would probably suggest we continue to reach out to save those in need of saving. Can anyone think of a richer potential and need to be saved than the Democrats?

Of Course Jesus would be pro-abortion give me a break the left have no values...

Besides once Jesus found out that Kerry was a Catholic... who was divorced and remarried, supported abortion, and approved of Homosexual union/marriage... I think even the moderate Democrat Jesus would vote for GW...

It's a complex question that can't be boiled down to simple political terms, say religious leaders who attended a Texas Faith Network conference in Austin.

No, it isn't a "complex question".
