[QUOTE="ndfinfan, post: 409284, member: 2279"] Interesting grumster...personally I envision Jesus more as an independent as opposed to being on the right or left. Jesus was highly critical of the religious leaders and Jewish high council who placed a heavy burden on the Jewish citizens who desperately needed spiritual love and light. This eventually cost him his life. Jesus stood up for the depressed, downtrodden, lost, sick, enslaved, and broken. He came to serve...not be served. He embraced and taught humility as a trait that is highly regarded by the Father. The reference from scripture you mention above...being hot or cold...versus lukewarm is from Chapter 3 in the Book of Revelation. The Lord's message for the church in Laodicea...the believers in that church felt they already had all they needed. The reference to being "hot" or "cold" refers to water that when hot soothes the body, provides relief as in the hot springs - cold water provides refreshing life giving sustenance needed to survive. Lukewarm water provides neither and is useless as referenced in this passage. These political discussions are I suppose inevitable during these election seasons, but truly...we know who we should place our faith and trust in...the Christ...he who lived humility and who loved. All of us, including any candidates we are considering, should first be compared to the Lord and what he taught...then go from there. Just my take...we all fall woefully short. [/QUOTE]
