RE: [TruthTalk] Republican or Democrat

[Slade Henson]

I think Jesus was a liberal... but He was a religious liberal. He was not a political liberal. After all, He seemed to suggest a more passive stance against Rome than the Zealots.   Yeshua would not have been cultic. He was a House Hillel Pharisee who spoke against the conservative [religious] position held by House Shammai Pharisees. In fact, He spoke vehemently against them often (remember the "Woe to you" phrases)? [For more information on this topic, see the book...
