Christian Liberals & Progressive People of Faith

This is a tough concept to discuss; most pastors get angry for a whole range of reasons. I have studied the word for several decades and I cannot come to any other conclusion. Calling him a socialist might be more palatable to some, however that would betray what Jesus taught and what is recorded in the gospels. He had nowhere to lay his head, Homeless, the group had a common purse, and they did not even have a place to bury HIM. During his crucifixion the guards gambled for his possessions, it was not a very long list. My last point is this: What did He tell the rich young ruler that wanted to follow Him, “Sell all you have and give the money to the poor, the rich young ruler turned away very sad, because he had much”, I submit the rich has been doing that for the past 2000 years and it is even more popular today. So how many politicians would follow Christ today? My guess is zero, but I hope I am wrong.
