Actually before getting involved on this forum but after my retirement from secular work I spent a lot of time on the Lord's work and had little to do with politics. On this forum I still want to avoid politics, but it is almost impossible and also remain an active member.
That's just a play, nothing more. We're not talking politics. We're talking what we believe compared to Christian Doctrine, at least that's what I'm talking about. That's why I broke the reality down about Left and Right only being labels to represent BELIEF SYSTEMS. Trying to place that into some political correctness idealism is ignorant.
As to God's meaning of the verses I cited, not many people are as concerned with that meaning as they are with their own political stand and what they consider to be their legal [secular legality] rights as American citizens. They too often only carry the label [Christian] because it has been the expected thing for all or most of their lives.
Matthew 20:20-23 has nothing to do with politics. You only TRIED to make it so. The mother of Zebedee's children asked Jesus to let her two sons, one sit on His right hand, and the other on His left hand in His future Kingdom. NEITHER of those positions represents a political Left or Right ideology. So don't give me all that baloney there, for that's all it is.
Are you a Communist? (There are Christians in Russia and China that may be allied with the Communist Party there, so it's not unheard of.)
