What Might President Jesus Do?
And What if Jesus Were in the White House?
Here are just a few policy examples at this site – I liked it:
Punishment
John 8:
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Universal Health Care
Matthew 10:
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Prayer in Public Schools:
Matthew 6:
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Oil Executives Running Foreign Policy, Tax Cuts for the Rich, Lucrative No-Bid Contracts for Cronies, Logging and Mining Execs Writing Environmental Regs, ad nauseam
Matthew 19:
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
(my addition: but don’t forget that with God, all things are possible)
Tax Cuts Cure Everything
Luke 20:
25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.
Social Programs
Luke 18:
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
War in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Whoever Is Next
Matthew 5:
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
One thought on “What Might President Jesus Do?”
Sounds heavenly to me, lol! But, of course, the pseudo-Christ who has assended the American throne is a total fake who aims are the exact opposite of those you just listed, no matter what he promises the faithful. Too bad the poor slobs who worship him don’t get it, and will probably never get it, no matter what happens to them. I don’t know if I would call him the anti-Christ; to me, he is just a stupid, little nit who represents the anti-Christ. Cheney or Rove are closer to the real thing. But, hey, what do I know…I don’t hang out with their kind, ever.
