Jesus Christ was liberal, ultra-liberal indeed. † 10/07/20 (Wed) 04:47:38 a2dbe8 No.847341

From Lower Galilee to Jerusalem, everything he said and did was orthodox liberalism: politically, economically, socially.

The multiplication of the loaves and fish is liberal. The parable of the prodigal son is liberal. The Sermon on the Mount: perhaps the most liberal and anti-statist proclamation in history.

Matthew 5 is stirring. The scene with the merchants of the Temple is a spectacular performance against monopolies and in favor of the free market.

Those who claim that he was a Marxist or a pre-Marxist understand nothing about the context in which Jesus Christ developed his militancy in ancient Roman-occupied Israel, nor the economic cycle that Judea was in between AD 20 and AD 30.

Nor is the contempt for the rich of that time well understood, gentlemen. What kind of rich people were they?

Did they earn their riches in the market by serving the consumer, or did they take it away from others by integrating a totalitarian system of government with a totalitarian form of state(remember, this is Roman-occupied Israel)?

They, of course, did not have and should not have priority to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

1, catholic "sacred heart" Jesus isn't the biblical Jesus

2, anti statism is not liberalism

3, We talk about Him in the present tense since He is risen (He is liberal, He is pro life etc) (nitpick)

4, the expelling of the moneychangers has nothing to do with monopoly or free market, it was profaning of a sacred place. In liberal philosophy it would actually come down to a question of property rights, Jesus being the rightful property holder.

If you mean liberal in the classical sense I will agree but suggest "liberalism is Christlike" not "Christ was liberal". If you mean liberal in the contemporary sense I will point out that Jesus fed the thousands by charity and not by progressive redistribution.

Matthew 5? That's the turn the other asscheek part not the whip the merchants part. Matthew is the Gospel meant for the jews where Jesus laid out His will for jews "Turn the other cheek and let the Romans finish your corrupt asses off."

A political liberal is a thief who uses the Government gun to take that which is the product of another man's hands to keep for himself as part of the mob.

A Christian is someone who gives the product of his labors to the poor because all things come from God, and God dwells in the heart of the christian.

I don't think Op understands the difference.
