Jesus would reject current liberal stances

The “Conservative Bible Project” certainly isn't by true conservatives. A conservative is one who is opposed to change, especially if it's for novelties or fads. The dictionary also says a conservative is that which has the power to preserve from harm.
This group is doing the same thing cults and those with an agenda do: making the Bible say what they want it to say by cutting out what they don't like and adding words to fit their bias, thereby bringing harm to the original message. They are deceivers who do not represent the true Christian faith.
One letter writer on Oct. 19 made the absurd claim that Jesus was the “ultimate liberal.”
Jesus would have nothing to do with the current liberal movement. Liberals support abortion while Jesus condemned murder. Liberals support homosexual behavior and same-sex marriage, while Jesus said marriage was between one man and one woman and that homosexual behavior was an abomination. Liberals promote all religious beliefs as equal, while Jesus said he was the only way to God. Liberals look to the government for salvation, while Christ said to look to Him.
Jesus the “ultimate liberal”? Totally false!
