How Would Jesus Vote
WHAT DOES JESUS THINK OF THE ELECTION? WOULD HE VOTE?
FOR WHOM?

JESUS:

PETER PUT DOWN YOUR SWORD

LOVE YOUR ENEMIES DO GOOD TO THOSE WHO HATE
YOU

BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS (Sermon on the Mount)

TURN THE OTHER CHEEK

IF A MAN SUE THEE FOR THY CLOAK GIVE HIM THY COAT ALSO

THOSE WHO LIVE BY THE SWORD SHALL DIE BY THE SWORD

GOD:
THOU SHALT NOT KILL (not asterisked with exceptions)

REVENGE IS MINE SAITH THE LORD (not ours)

ISAIAH:
TURN THEIR WEAPONS INTO PLOWSHARES

BREAK NOT THE BRUISED REED

THEY SHALL NOT HURT NOR DESTROY IN ALL MY HOLY MOUNTAIN

THEY SHALL STUDY WAR NO MORE

PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTIONIST

She saw a partial birth abortionist
on tv..
an American pilot
who had dropped a
daisy cutterbomb on an Afghan
pregnant woman.

a CACI interrogater
who killed the man
in his custody..
when his wife
was told..
she miscarried

How should a Christian combat violence?

In my humble opinion, with prayer, with economic boycott of those who do harm,
by sending pink light clouds of positive thought
to engulf the violent one

What Did Jesus Eat?
May the Spirit of Jesus enfire us all today with their compassion for all creatures

There is dispute about Jesus and the eating of fishes,
but little about his abstention from the flesh of birds and mammals.



DO YOU THINK JESUS DROVE THE BUTCHERS OUT OF THE TEMPLE?

The words "My kingdom is not of this world" are beginning to come to mind.

*booting this to Politics*

However, it is better translated "murder".

Do you know who Samson is? He killed 200 people with a donkey's jaw bone. Then he killed 1000s more by making the temple fall down on them.

But seriously, this is rediculous.

Those verses you cited, 8john7, refer to personal revenge and conduct, not that of the government. Big difference.

It depends which Jesus you're talking about. John's Jesus would vote for some hippie candidate. The synoptic Jesuses would probably vote for Bush since they seem to care a lot about fighting demons and evil, although the Q Jesuses might vote for a hippie or for Kerry.

The butterfly ballot would confuse him and he'd end up with dangiling chad.

It would be incredibly strange if Jesus voted for Alan Keyes. Since Jesus is God and God controls all destiny (and hence, who wins elections), Jesus would be voting for the person who is obviously going to lose the election. Imagine the metaphysical problems this would bring up -- God choosing a person to win an election that he doesn't want to win the election.

In a Calvinist perspective, wouldn't God have to vote for whoever wins the election?
