That is what you said. It is not true to scriptures in any way. He claimed to be the Son of God and the Living Christ Messiah, equal with God, which the Jews in power saw as blasphemy and sent him on to the Romans to be killed because they wished it. Prophesy thus fulfilled. The Jews were not killers of Jesus but they did what sinful human nature would do....the local leader of Romans even tried to convince them not to yell "crucify him"....so correct that please...<br /><br />The Jesus of Nazareth who said " the poor you will have with you always", loved the poor, but not because they were poor and oppressed. He loved Nicodemus and the rich young ruler. People rich and poor needed him equally....He didn't entice to class envy...He brought true peace and community and justice if we followed Him. <br /><br />Don't mix up social causes and a bent for anarchy with the gospel..."The Spirit of the Lord" was upon Him to open prison doors and set captives free, make blind see, lame to walk, preach to poor (society's uncared-for)<br />...it was not a gospel of liberation theology...it was a gospel of liberation from sin which soves all human's problems...poor sin like middle class like rich like everyone...we all need Him...Scott King- Atlanta GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877429093763283183noreply@blogger.com
