[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus' teachings were inherently political and revolutionary. They shape how you view society and your interactions with your fellow human beings. You can't separate the church from politics. [/quote]

Revolutionary, yes. Political, no. The life and message of Jesus transcends politics. [/quote]

Jesus' first years of life were in exile because King Herod wanted to kill him.  Jesus was literally executed by a Roman governor, in a bid to maintain support from the Jews in a time when there was a growing threat of revolt.  And the Jewish leadership's reason was that he was regarded as King of the Jews.  If you think the life and message of Jesus "transcends" politics, you are asleep at the wheel.

The Romans and the Jews motives for executing Jesus were based on the political and religious power structures of that time.  His message, however, was not about earthly powers.  That’s what he meant when he said “my kingdom is not of this world.”.   [/quote]
