15. Then they are anti-Jesus. Jesus told them in no uncertain terms, quoted in Matthew 25:31-46. It's a memo to the Heritage

Foundation.

Jesus asserts that his TRUE followers are the people and societies who care for the poor, the sick, the marginalized, immigrants, and the incarcerated. And he tells you who his FAKE followers are -- the ones who are openly religious but indifferent to the poor, sick, marginalized, immigrants and the incarcerated.

Jesus says that how Christians treat them is how they treat HIM.

Jesus says they will be judged based on their actions and treatment of the vulnerable -- not on their religious affiliations or beliefs. He's not just commanding individuals -- he's calling on societies to commit to compassion, mercy, and kindness on a policy level. That means that Christians living in a democracy have the option to vote for -- or against -- Jesus's very direct instructions.

Jesus doesn't care how pious you are, how often you go to church, or how much money you donate.
You get zero points with Jesus for being religiously observant.
He gives instructions on exactly what a Christian nation SHOULD DO, which is why conservative politicians and voters never talk about that.

Yes, Jesus was a liberal. Jesus is the woke Son of God the Father.
So these fundies who don't read scripture better heed: if their church isn't telling them to love their enemies but keeps telling them who their enemies are, they're not really in a church.
