Tink says:
===============
Briefly, capital punishment, Jesus said, "Let him that is without
transgression of the law, throw the first Stone"
=================

I don't know if those were his "exact" words, and I'm certainly no
student of theology, but wasn't the whole point of that scene to
show/explain the NO ONE is without sin ("transgresion"?). Hence, if I
interpret right, no one ought to cast any stones. I further read that
to mean that no one or no society ought to be casting stones or
otherwise killing other humans. Do I think I've interpreted correctly?

Tink says:
=================
the sick and hugry, he healed them and fed them.
==================

From his example, I have to think he would have liked to notion of

"being one's brothers keeper" and that he was big on the notion of
charity. He clearly felt that the sick had a right to be healed. Now
Tink, doesn't this speak to the notion of univeral health care and
assistance to the needy where required?

On these two counts, Tink, I think Jesus qualifies as a left-winger.

Remember, lefties love you.... we're very charitable.
