If Jesus Christ were alive today, would he be a liberal, conservative, or something else? Why?
 
I think Jesus would be too much concerned with the Kingdom of Heaven to worry overmuch about the Kingdom of Man.

Hmmmm...something else? What else do you call the son of god? Or if one believes in the trinity...then Jesus is god...so I don't think framing him as a conservative or liberal quite fits within a label of any little ole political philosophy.

Oh, how about CREATOR of the UNIVERSE? Can something political be drawn from that job description?

JMO...
 
I suppose he would be a Hassidic Jew living in Brooklyn.

He would not doubt view Christians as less than human. He would be afraid of cars. He would think that airplanes were winged messengers of G-d.

Once his Socialism was outed, he would be under constant attack by Savage, Hannity, Limbaugh et all.

I do not think either is terrible relevant to what Jesus was.
 
Render unto Ceasar, camel-needle-rich man, blessed are the meek, etc.

Whether or not he would be, conservative hacks would label him as such.
 
None of the above.

I think Jesus would overall be disgusted with the lot of humanity.
 
When you read the Gospels, it's pretty clear that Jesus cared little for politics. When people tried to get him to comment politically, He changed the subject.

Ding ding ding. We have an answer

Individuals and societies can do as Jesus says while being liberal, conservative or other, so I don't think he would choose any political persuasion. It doesn't matter what you are - loving others and helping others is not exclusive to any political lean.
 
Jesus would be Jesus. I don't think we can take His beliefs and make them fit with one of our political philosophies.

This is not true either. "Render unto Rome..." was a huge political statement about current events of the time.

Render unto Caesar wasn't a political statement. He also showed no understanding of money so the statement in of itself is worthless.
 
""Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's"

seems Jesus would want a seperation of church and State. ;)
 
well, Jesus was a Jew, so if he lived in the USA..he would likely be a liberal Democrat.

if he lived in Europe...he's be a social-democrat.

You might want to study on the times. That hit upon the big controversy among the jews at the time. It was very much a political statement, made in very clear political terms. Some Jews to this day think of Jesus as something of a roman collaborator.

Jesus was crucified over Bar-Abbas, because Bar-Abbas was a political revolutionary who wanted to fight the Romans. So the Jews obviously chose a fighter..over the man who wanted to make nice wit da bad guys.
 
I think he'd be the subject of a Led Zeppelin Song

"I am a traveler of both time and space"
 
If christ came to the 21st century as it is now...

hed spontaneously combust.

I doubt it. He lived his entire life surrounded by people of lowly character, he ministered to prostitutes and theives, and he preached forgiveness, not revenge. He would still be the same now as he was then.
 
Jesus would be considered a Liberal! He broker laws, hung out with undesirables, didn't listen to authority. :peace
