      Likely depends on whether you ask the church or Jesus. We don’t really have any reliable information, but if he really was a hippie preacher, telling how god loves all of his creatures, and how you can’t hate on each other… He must have been pro Lgbtq+

      But that’s just my take on it. Most people who call themselves Christians might disagree.

        I think that is a stretch. He appointed Paul who clearly wrote against practicing homosexuality. (Romans 1:27, 1 Corinthians 6:9) He was anti divorce (Mark 10:9) and adultery as well, telling a woman caught in it to “go and sin no more” (John 8:11). Not “Live your truth” or “Love who you love”. Jesus gave us the Church. Now, would Jesus want us to bully those who practice homosexuality? By no means! We should still as Christians treat them with love. But between them and God, repentance is needed. But that’s between them and God. So the likes of Steven Anderson is wrong. (In fact, I don’t think Steven Anderson is even saved). And as well, this is a commandment for Christians. We have no business trying to enforce this on non-Christians.

        Anyway, Jesus would probably be hated by the left today (and the right, but I don’t think that needs explaining). He spoke a lot about judgement and hell and condemnation. If anything, the left and right might unite to crucify Him these days.

        People in the past said “My ideology is good and Jesus was good so Jesus must be on my side” such as the Nazis and the slaveowners. It’s dangerous logic.

          You’re mostly right except that “the left” would ABSOLUTELY NOT crucify Jesus… Especially if he was as chill and anti-capitalist as the stories imply.
