Yes Joe, but those things are done on a personal basis, as from me to you...because of compassion to our fellow humans. Jesus was not instituting a political system, or ideology, to control other people. Perhaps, if you believe that's what Jesus was saying, then it would seem incumbent on you, that you should promote Jesus, and his 'message of socialism'...but many people, (and on here), gag at the thought of Jesus, because of what 'religion' has portrayed him....but then, use His message to promote their particular political bent. Sorta' rings of hypocritical, don't you think?

Yes, we should be of a compassionate mind and heart for our fellow man, and allow others to be free to choose what path to follow!....is that Democratic, or Republican???????..Liberal, or Conservative????....or personal, between you and God??????
