\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For most of my life, I was a devout atheist. Without going into a lot of detail, let\u2019s just say that my experiences in the Catholic Church and their school system left a bad taste in my soul and I drifted toward the dark side (no, I wasn’t a Satanist, I didn’t believe in Satan either). That all changed in 2012 when I became a Christian and was introduced to one of the most misleading components of Christianity in America \u2013 conservatism. Initially, I relied on acceptance and tried to make it work for me, but the more I studied scripture, the more I realized that many of the ideologies held by Jesus are in direct opposition to the conservative Christian movement in America. It wasn’t just on the conservatives either. On the other side of the fence, the woke movement has introduced a liberal approach to Christianity that disregards some of its basic tenets based on how they feel or identify. Not too far from where I live is a Christian church that flies the gay rainbow flag. I guarantee you there are no conservatives in that church. No wonder people are confused. Both sides have missed the mark. It took me about a year to come to that conclusion, but only after I read the New Testament about a dozen times and got to know who Jesus was and what he did and taught. I started wondering if the conservatives and liberals were reading different Bibles, or even read it at all.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
Disclaimer<\/strong><\/span>. I don’t claim to know what Jesus would do, but I do know what he did. His compassion and willingness to reach out to those in need are well-documented. So, when I say that Jesus would feed the hungry, it’s because He did – a lot. When I say that Jesus would not build a border wall, it’s because He never excluded anybody, even if they broke immigration laws – ever. If I say that Jesus would probably be in favor of free health care, it’s because He healed people – for free. If you read the New Testament, or at the very least, the book of John, you will have a pretty good idea of some of the things that Jesus would and wouldn’t do. WWJD?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n So, what do YOU think? Keep in mind that, to some extent, we are all part of the same tentacle of sin called hypocrisy. However, if it’s one group that will probably take exception to this rant, it’s gonna be the conservatives.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Copyright 2022 John Ceccon.
