It’s not simply that the liberals get a verse wrong here and there –we all do–, it’s that they have a twisted perspective that warps the meaning of every verse they touch. Passages that are intended for the internal governance of the church, or for the edification of Christians, become in their minds a blueprint for improving the world. Which is something neither Jesus nor his first followers had any intention of doing. Communist manifesto indeed.

is that horse’s arse Ian Paisley in reverse?
Two thumbs up, Greg!
In addition to using selective, out-of-context subversions of Scripture to advance unelected deep state powers, taxes, socialism, regulations, LGBTQ+, class hate, abortion they wield their propaganda like cudgels to disingenuously beat up on believers.
Morning’s Minion will have to do better than that if he wants to sell the idea that we’re all obligated to mollycoddle sexual deviants, truckle the purveyors of expressive divorce, and keep the rice bowls of the public sector education and social services apparat filled. (You’ll recall that a dozen years ago he was propagating the idea we were all goats for declining to get on board with his preferred program for financing medical care).
Perfect example of what I’m talking about. The “goats” in Matthew 25’s judgment scene are people who have failed to aid Christians who are in need. This is how the passage was universally understood for the first one thousand eight hundred years of church history — but don’t ask the liberals to engage in any real study that would allow them to learn that. They prefer ignorance.
G. Poulin,
Not that it would make an impression among stiff-necked commie propagandists.
Apparently, they interpret Matt. 25 as “I was hungry, and you voted Democrat. […]”
Correct:
“Peter, do you love me?”
“Yes. Lord, you know I love you.”
“Feed my sheep.”
Incorrect:
“Peter, do you love me?”
“Yes. Lord, you know I love you.”
“Get the Romans to tax the crap out of everybody, keep a big chunk for themselves and then feed my sheep just enough to keep them dependent.”
