Lynn; Who are you addressing as liberal?

In pursuit of provocative dialogue, I think you are asking the wrong questions. "He (Jesus) looked beyond race, class, social labels and sectarian divisions. He was as comfortable talking to prostitutes, drunkards and condemned criminals as He was to synagogue officials, high priests and Roman centurions. He looked into mens hearts with a piercing laser beam, not so He could judge their sins but so He could shine the light of His mercy.
And today Jesus calls His followers to love everybody* that way. *NOTE: Everybody includes Democrats, Republicans, bleeding-heart liberals, Tea Party conservatives." (J. Lee Brady, Jesus Looks Beyond Politics)
The way each person chooses to understand and react to her or his or our call to love is personal. I dont suppose that there is one right way to love. People in the pursuit of truth should attempt to ask the right questions and be willing to apply civil discourse marked by intellectual honesty and integrity when inviting responses. We should all try to keep our dialogue free from otiose personal attacks.
By the way, when quoting famous authors, it is intellectually honest to include the complete quote or, in the least, let the reader know that the quote is edited. Everyone is aware that completeness and context can alter meaning very easily. In the final words of his book Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis wrote, The more we get what we now call ourselves out of the way and let Him take us over, the more truly ourselves we become. I believe the meaning you intended is now altered and we shall see if you drop the quote, correctly offer it, or if you continue to use it dishonestly.

You are spot on providing we make the distinction that we are to love the person as one of God's creations, not necessarily what they do or stand for.

Based on the general content that I read on this site, I am surprised that one would ask that question. I consider them to be those who find specks in other eyes while ignoring the beams in theirs, who believe that any opinion that disagrees with theirs is wrong and the person believing it should be ostracized. They are without the decency to live and let live. They can believe what they want, just don't try to force it on others. That does not mean that I won't try to change their views when given an opportunity.
I just try to expose the lies coming from our government, and the bought MSM.
For example:
The video below is just one of many exposing the treachery of our politicians.
Who wonders why CIA funded ISIS in Syria? Why did CONgress just add another $500 million in funding "insurgents" in Syria?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMjXbuj7BPII, too, have little trust or agreement with our government and appreciate what you are trying to do. However, there are many, many ways to express the foolishness of Washington without bring Christ into the discussion. That is a whole different subject. I will express that we would be a whole lot better off if we had a measure of Christian attitude spread around BOTH parties though.
Imo; Our nation is in the mess it is in because of Christian ignorance and apathy. This is largely due to churches and pastors not warning their flocks of the treachery going on. Christ stood up and exposed the money changers, pharisees and sadducees. The wickedness has been ignored so long that there may be no way of turning our down fall around. It may take Christ's return, but I will do what I can to stand against the wickedness planned.

Republic Broadcasting??? Wasn't that the far right, John Stadtmiller-Flat Earth Society run radio station, that was visited by the FBI, because one of their hate-jocks issued threats against all 50 governors of the United States???
Eagle, you really do dwell in the sewer, don't you???

Eagle-eye---Jews have a knack for spotting vicious anti-semites, like you, a mile away. They have to---for reasons of survival.
There are reasons the Israelis have to be so tough.
Fortunately most American anti-semites are like cockroaches---when you turn on the lights they tend to scurry into the walls or back into their dark, dank sewers.
You've spewed more hate and nasty insults at Jews and the Jewish faith than anyone on this forum BD.
You have a lot of Gall.
Yep! Brian you just proved my point. You are a Luceferian troll.
This is the warning to God's people: Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee
Chuckybrass, Please look for my reply to you on page 4 (I think) of the blog.

Brain-Damage,
You're a moron. You don't get that secular Jews can eschew all religion without being self-hating Jews. I don't think less of my pre-scientific ancestors because they made up stories to explain a confusing universe.
I do however, have no use for post-scientific morons who have never moved beyond their childhood bedtime bible stories.
Eagle is just another bible-thumping, Dominionist Nazi, who believes in "My way or the highway".
Obviously, he is an escapee from the Nuremburg War Crimes Trials.
And you BDamage ( a fitting moniker) are as stupid as he is.

Want me to beak out your greatest hits?
There are plenty to choose from.
You are as much a Jew-hating, anti-Semitic, and anti-Israel as anyone can be BD.
