Ummmmmmmmmm…
Jesus ‘very well might support Act’, leader David Seymour says
Act leader David Seymour believes Jesus may have supported his party, and would get the tick of endorsement were he to come back and run for Auckland or Wellington’s Mayoralty.
…ummmmmmm.
Look.
I’m no theologian, but after having a wee flick through the Bible, and I’m not sure David’s ever met Jesus, because uptight, anti-Māori libertarian incel isn’t the vibe Jesus is giving off.
It’s way more molotov cocktail throwing marxist…
Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mark 10:21 And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
Luke 6:20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
2 Corinthians 9:11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.
Galatians 2:10 Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
Ephesians 4:28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.
…Jesus seems pretty keen on a capital gains taxes and doesn’t sound like he wants to create loopholes for property speculators.
I also think after feeding the 5000 with 3 loaves and 2 fish he’d be very critical of David’s school lunch fiasco.
I don’t think Jesus would vote for ACT, I get the feeling Jesus would instead break the 7th seal outside David’s electorate office and unleash the Apocalypse and dump the entire ACT front bench into the 7th level of hell.
But then again, I’m no theologian.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
ACT recognises that jesus loved the poor so it’s busy making more of them.
Well said for someone who is not a theologian.
We can add delusion to the list of personality disorders he suffers from.
What a fool of a thing to say. Reeks of desperation.
He has to tell us he’s doing an excellent job at everything he pokes his nose into, because we can all see, without a doubt, that he’s hopeless.
Doesn’t seem to be much realism or honesty in Act, They either hide their activities like van Velden or shout it from the roof tops like Seymour. Must be a feature of the right. Self-delusion.
Meanwhile, he takes the heat here, while silly Luxon pontificates around India pretending to be the deal maker and Winnie pontificates around US pretending to be the big foreign affairs guru.
Now that he knows the mind of Jesus and thinks Jesus needs his endorsement, I guess he thinks he’s as famous as Jesus. Is this David’s John Lennon moment?
Seems like Seymour has in the past, claimed that various famous humanitarians would have voted for Act. Who is he trying to kid?
He says people have an inherent dignity and deserve to be treated with universal human rights.
Serving slops to school children, wanting more guns. keeping wages of the lowest-paid down and not allowing them to complain about it. The list goes on. He has a strange idea of universal human rights and human dignity.
This name-dropping seems to be a favourite tactic of Mr. Seymour’s. Reeks of Desperation.
Everyone ideally, would like to be wholly responsible for their own lives. But when they can’t be, sometimes through no fault of their own, the state undertakes to help and keep them from falling further into the mire. That is Christianity and humanitarianism.
Condemning and punishing them for getting themselves into a mess whether through illness or just bad luck, is not a Christan thing to do.
I prefer the Sally Army’s version of Christianity to Mr. Seymour’s.
As usual with most arseholes they bring Jesus into the mix to somehow garner respect, mainly from the unsuspecting. Seymour is so far the opposite of anything that Jesus stood for and he will be punished accordingly and go down in history as the glove puppet blip he was. I am sure you would agree Zelda.
Phil McC. Yes, they try to sanitise themselves, by claiming divine approval, and to my way of thinking, it is obscene. I think Weapons-of-Mass Destruction Tony Blair, underwent a rather public conversion to Roman Catholicism following the Iraq invasion, as if this would somehow render that terrible folly not the evil which many thought it was.
I know others who claim to be Christian who support ACT so Seymour is not the only deluded fool but like you say Jesus would not support him. Jesus specifically says that His Kingdom is not of this world (Jn 18:36) so anyone trying to link politics and religion is a deceiver.
Totally out to (school) lunch!
Jesus would hang himself before he supported ACT.
In Acts of The Apostles 4.3 it states that clearly early Christians shared all goods and property in common , distributed accordingly to those in need . Afar cry from Seymour’s grasping ideology .
Davy-boy should be over in the US of A meeting the President (instead of Winnie) and swap stories about meeting JC. Don will tell him he’s a christian too and god/jesus misdirected the bullet by two inches! That’s why he’s president now. And atheist Davy can tell Don that JC would vote for him (well, if he was, and is, and is to come). Davy could even invite Don to officiate at his forthcoming wedding and, hey pesto, turn the water into wine…. But wait…isn’t Christopher a christian too? Aha, “when two three are gathered in my name …. I’ll vote for all of them!”.
Deluded Dreamers all!
