God is Christ and is the Holy Spirit. Personally, I have never read anything which leaves me believing that the Trinity meets the definition of the modern Liberal. However, I guess that we are all entitled to our own opinion and God is the only one who really knows the answer. Just be careful of commiting apostacy when attributing human traits to the almight being.

Heres a great big AMEN to O'T's last post.

Why does it matter whether he would be considered a liberal? Things in those days and in that time were too dissimilar to the present to even make the comparison. If you really know anything about Jesus and that part of the world at that time, you should realize that he was considered a subversive by the contemporary establishment, which was basically made up of the Pharisees and the Saducees. Neither faction claimed or accepted Him.

As I have already pointed out, the concept of private property was sanctioned by God and that is diametrically contradicted by modern liberalism.

Maybe you don't like the answer, but that is the bottom line nonetheless.

How about referring to the Ten Commandments...the one about not coveting what belongs to your neighbor?

We need to flush the system of liberals.
They are all nuts.

Would Jesus have been considered a liberal?

Here is, in part, an answer to your question in the modern political context! Hah, what a joke! I believe that the concept of personal and institutional Liberty came directly from God. That is why this nation has prevailed to the poiint that it has prior to Choom-boy getting elected to be President! If he is Jesus, I am one of Saten's angels!


The amateur president has had an easy ride in his re-election campaign – until now. He has been comfortably ahead in most of the opinion polls. The left-dominated news media continue to fawn upon Mr. Obama as though he were – in the words of one of his own close advisers – “black Jesus"!

Now, the black-Jesus freaks are in a panic. The first attack ads were on your screens within hours of Mitt Romney’s confirmation that Paul Ryan, the tea-party movement’s dream candidate, was to be his running-mate for veep.

The Church of Obama, much outspent by the Latter-Day Saints in the White House campaign, is in a panic. It has even resorted to a swear-word in an email inviting potential supporters to stump up $5 or more to keep Mr. Manchurian in the luxury to which he has become accustomed.

The hard-left “Democrats” of today (the quote-marks should surely be part of WND’s house style from now on) don’t just hate conservatives. They fear us.

Why? For all they try to make out that the tea-party movement is a tiny gathering of beyond-the-fringe extremists, they now suspect – and rightly – that this extraordinary, spontaneous, grass-roots uprising against the left’s encroachments upon liberty represents the opinions not of a marginal, numerically insignificant minority but of the great majority of the people of your great nation.

It is often said that politicians think only in the short term. The truth is that it is the voters – or at least those who have allowed themselves to become habitually dependent upon the labor of the taxpayer for their living – who think short-term.

At each election, those who live at taxpayers’ expense have just one question in their minds: Which party will keep my gravy-train rolling along for a few more years?

"Would Jesus have been considered a liberal?"

Frankly, I don't know. I think for the most part, probably not. Let's be honest. I'm mostly conservtive but on some subjects I'm probably more liberal than not Although it makes me sad when I see a homeless person begging for change so he can eat, I took a step from Kevin Costner's film on Wyatt Earp When Earp was a drunk after his wife died, he hit a guy up for monet for a meal. The guy refused to ive him money but said he'd buy Earp a meal, just not give him money. Onde day while leaving my local Walgreens, there was a homeless dude begging for change and his sign said homeless and hungry.There was an Arby's nrxt door and the grub there ain't bad for a fast food joint. I did like the guy in the movie and said I would not give him money but would buy him lunch. I've been cussed out by some of the best while in boot camp but this guy must have been one serious DI or something in a past life. Interesting lesson there. One of the ladies in our bible study group was having problems as kids out of work were coming back home and she was having a hard time making ends meet. The wife and I were making out monthly trek to COSTCO to get stuff we needed and along with our stuff we picked up 50 pounds of pinto bean, a 25 pound bag of rice and various vegetables over what we normally but. My wife got hold of her son and had come over to the house where we loaded the extra stuff up and told him to not say where it came from. The lady looked at us but never said a word. I know her boy told her where he got the stuff but the look in her eyes was thanks enough. I believe that if one is a Christian, this is how they should help. If you don't know someone who needs help, donate to the local food bank. I guess one has to decide just how they might want to help but I will say this; the wife and I prayed a long time on how we should go about it, the above is how we do it. naturally, YMMV.
