--
Jesus was the ultimate liberal progressive revolutionary of all history.
The conservative religious and social structure that he defied hated and
crucified him. They examined His life and did not like what they saw. He
aligned himself with the poor and the oppressed. He challenged the
religious orthodoxy of his day. He advocated pacifism and loving our
enemies. He liberated women and minorities from oppression. He healed on
the Sabbath and forgave adulterers and prostitutes. He associated with
drunks and other social outcasts. He rebuked the religious right of his
day because they embraced the letter of the law instead of the Spirit.
He loved sinners and called them to himself. Jesus was the original
Liberal. He was a progressive, and he was judged and hated for it. It
was the self-righteous religionists that he rebuked and he called them
hypocrites.

The primary issues of Christian Liberalism were birthed when Jesus spoke
the profoundly prophetic words found in Matthew 25: 31-46. These
scriptures reveal God's heart for the poor, the sick and other neglected
people through out history. Christians should read this text and judge
for themselves which of the two groups mentioned there more accurately
reflect the political parties of today. His Liberalism lives on today
and the issues have not changed much.

John Kerry gets elected and is spending his first night in the White House.
He has waited so long..........

The ghost of George Washington appears, and Kerry says, "How can I best
serve my country?" Washington says, "Never tell a lie." "Ouch!" Says
Kerry, "I don't know about that."

The next night, the ghost of Thomas Jefferson appears... Kerry says, "How
can I best serve my country?" Jefferson says, "Listen to the people."
"Ohhh! I really don't want to do that."


On the third night, the ghost of Abe Lincoln appears... Kerry says, "How can
I best serve my country?" Lincoln says, "Go to the theater."

Thank you! A search of your recent posts indicates that you have absolutely
nothing to say. Reminds me of a certain senator who wants to be President.
Ploink... you made my list.
