Apparently a right-wing deacon said this

Evangelicals Are Now Rejecting 'Liberal' Teachings of Jesus

"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching'turn the other cheek'[and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'" Moore said.

"When the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ' ... The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak," he added. "When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis."

This isn't really new though, it's just saying the quite part out loud. always-has-been.gif.

Neoliberalism is the cause of the decay and paved the way for fascism. If you let large conglomerates own everything including news media and social media and then sell access to spew vile hate speech and disinformation to people, the current result is to be expected. It's actually kind of refreshing that they actually come out and say it.

These people also don't believe in equality, they believe inequality of humans is fundamentally morally correct. Neoliberals believe in inequality based on class/wealth, fascists believe in inequality based on identity like race or gender.

The true sin is ignorance and neglect.

My sister once told my mom that empathy is what's ruining this country. It's not even like it was a misinterpretation/misunderstanding, that's almost word for word how she said it. I can't fathom how someone comes to that line of thinking.

"Thou shalt not even try to be a decent person"

the 11th commandment I guess

Proverbs 14:31 Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

Deuteronomy 15:7 If anyone is poor among your fellow Israelites in any of the towns of the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward them.

Luke 14:13-14 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.

Luke 12:15: Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.”

1 John 4:20 If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

1 John 3:17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?

John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

Empathy is the enemy of the the manipulative. Their shallow and transparent manipulations wont get past someone with even a small amount of it.

If Jesus ever returned, evangelicals will try to crucify him

So no empathy for Elon Musk and his crybaby butthurt feelings? Fine by me!

Remind me which level of Hell the hypocrites are in? Is it higher or lower than the one reserved for Jesus now?

Hearing voices from people that aren't real is a pretty serious mental condition. I'm convinced religion and all the evil committed on its behalf all just trace back to the root of shit mental healthcare.

The mindset of magatards.

With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.

Daniel 11:32

He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior… He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.

Daniel 8:25, 2 Thess 2:10

… a despicable person will arise… a man of contempt… to whom the royal honor has not been rightfully conferred. He will slip in when least expected and will seize the kingdom through flattery and intrigue.

Daniel 11:21

After an alliance is made with him he will practice deception, and he will go up and gain power with a small force of people.

Daniel 11:23

He will try to change the set times and the laws.

Dan. 7:25

probably because he's echoing what Elon said about empathy

Anyone have the background link explaining this?

I find it more than a little humorous that their defining attribute for the last hundred years is so easily abandoned

Cmiiw but isn’t the irony in the right also deeming Trump too dumb to be a threat to democracy? The thought of an articulate Trump that doesn’t make these sloppy mistakes paired with a steroids version of the dizzying policy reform this admin shells out…. 🏳️

I feel like there's a single word to sum up one who's teachings are directly opposed to those of Jesus 🤔

"apparently a right-wing [person] said this" is low-quality content, gets my downvote. Such an unspecific comment serves only to outgroup people.

He wasn't a pastor, he was a deacon and probably just a twitter troll but no one here cares about accuracy it seems

appreciate the message, but God can we please not share pizza cake comics on Lemmy, none of them were funny on Reddit and they're not funny here.

This is the comic that makes pandering public comics to promote their paid art

Which might be fine, but it seems like good context to know.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone with an understanding of religion. Monotheism has always used othering of people not within the clique to insulate followers.

Not only are other people's beliefs OBJECTIVELY wrong due to everything my God says being true but you're also commiting sins against the true God for rejecting him.

Noooo I though I escaped this shit.

Demon pizzacake can get it

Michael Burns (of Wisecrack) has a pretty good analysis of this: https://youtu.be/VtyRTFGfw6o
