Jesus rose from the dead and he is alive and walking around what would he vote?

  • Democrat

  • Republican

Results are only viewable after voting.

Man, I hope you guys are joking. Purporting to know how Jesus would vote is amazingly arrogant even for politics.

We do know however what Jesus would drive. He was partial to Honda, although He didn't like to make a big deal about it.

John 12:49
For I did not speak of my own Accord.

On a more serious note, it's impossible for Jesus to "rise up out of the grave". That's, um, kind of the whole point of the religion.

If you read the rest of the passage it appears as though he was not partial to Honda at all, but rather he was too embarrassed to admit he drove one. Indeed, he only begrudgingly spoke of it after being forced to do so:

For I did not speak of my own Accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it.

Easily Democrats.

Democrats are the party of the poor.

Jesus was for the poor. He called them blessed.

Republicans are the party of the Romans.

He wasn't for the poor as much as he was the humble. Poor people are more likely to be humble... while the rich worshipped money and finance.

Rome was a republic. Britan and the US rose from them, hence, our republic.

at the time of Jesus, Rome was an empire.
 
Jesus would of course be an illegal immigrant, and the Repugs would expel him and send him back to the Middle East.
 
Since studies show Republicans/Conservatives donate more than Dems/Libs they have the edge there.

Its also Dems who want to kill off late term babies (infanticide), and teach 5 yr olds about about masterbation and homosexuality so they aren't doing well there (Jesus did say "whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone be hanged about his neck and he were drowned in the depth of the sea." Matthew 18:6).

Its also libs who persecute religious people and curse Israel (bible says a curse will be on those who curse Israel etc.) - we saw that in living color ar Dem convention.

Jesus also taught to rebuke those being lost. If a follower is (say) being a drunk then the congragation is to try to help him and then dismiss him if it doesnt work. Libs do just the opposite and teach "there there nothing is really your fault'. They breed addiction and compulsions by making excuses for them and even glorifying them. Crticizing character flaws even in good spirit is seen as "mean" when its actually meaner to let people sink in the mud.

Jesus did say to feed the ppor etc but he meant the noble poor and not the healthy young men running around town during the day with expensive sneakers and cell phones and with their butts hainging out of their pants avoiding working.

Nope Jesus strictly warned about enablers who help bring out the worst in people. he also warned that when people do good they shouldn't put on a show about it (the way libs do - they give to the wrong people in order to get an image of themselves as good).

No way Jesus would vote for libs. He would be quite aware that they hated him for the most part. Not that he would trust the wind-up Christians either.

Sorry to burst anyones bubble, but Jesus is a Republican.

2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."

We don't even need to bring up the abortion.......

Yes, but he also called for aid to the poor by individuals, not governments. He told his disciples to stop their work and follow him in order to be fishers of men, not stop working and apply for unemployment and welfare from the Roman government. The Sermon on the Mount didn't include a call for higher taxes. And he certainly didn't support bailing out those who were foolish with money like Democrats would, see the Parable of the Prodigal Son, Parable of the Talents and Luke 16:11; "So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?"

I'm guessing the Apostles had the spare key:

Acts 2:1 "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one Accord in one place."
 
Didn't we just have thread about what Jesus said as he was crucified on the the cross? As the official Christian version was Jesus said to his father, the true God, forgive them father, they know not what they did. As the Christian mantra became Jesus Christ died for our sins.

But in those days of both Jewish and Roman sins, maybe Jesus would be willing to die for those sins, but ever since Christians have maintained we can continue to sin outragiosly and still Jesus will redeem all of our sins forever no matter how stinking they contnue to be and are.

As in reality, the core of the Christian church lies in a license to steal, becuse Jesus will always forgive our sins. Regardless if the victims are Muslims, Christians, or third world wogs. Us Christians can all be assured, Jesus will always redeem all of our sins fore ever.

Difference: we live in a democracy. So we are the government.

Anyways, just b/c Jesus would likely be a Dem doesn't mean that it's necessarily good for the Dems.

Remember, Jesus is fucking dead. The Romans won.

Failpoll. Jesus would have wanted to give needy people what they needed, but he wouldn't want to have government provide it all.....so he'd be an INDEPENDENT. You failed to provide that possibility in your poll. 🙄
 
He wouldn't vote for either. He would be organising a middle east terror group to blow pretty much everything and everyone up.

Democracy wasn't really practiced in Jesus's time.

Considering how he taught his followers to behave, it would be very reasonable to see him expecting a self-ruled people to provide for the poor via social programs.
