Jesus was a community organizer?
NAS Matthew 10:34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the
earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
NAS Luke 14:26 "If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own
father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes,
and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.
NAS Mark 6:4 Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor
except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own
household."
NAS Matthew 8:4 And Jesus *said to him, "See that you tell no one; but
go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses
commanded, as a testimony to them."

What purpose do the bible quotes serve?
Do they refute his reputation as a leader and organizer?
Is this some of that born-again bible interpretation where anything
can be construed to support whatever?
My questions are rhetorical of course. Your comments are welcome if
you're enjoying my rant.
Any passage or quote taken out of an extant text can be said to be out
of context. What may be more accurate is to say that I provided no
extensive excerpts to provide additional context. That being said,
though, if Jesus were a community organizer, you should be able to
provide those passages that qualifiably make that case. Alternately,
I can make the case that Christ was removed from this world before the
Christian community was "organized" by the apostles and His disciples.
In the truest since of the word, Christ was a "revolutionary," not a
community organizer.
Erratum: "truest since" should obviously be "truest sense."
There was no such phrase in those times, as you know. Feel free to tell me
how bad a community organizer is if that's your intention. I don't need to
"provide" passages, and if you knew better, you wouldn't ask. It's a
completely ingenuous argument.
--
Nom=de=Plume
I'm not quite sure what you mean by all of this. There is a panoply
of theological terms, or phrases, that certainly didn't exist in the
time of Christ that are used to describe particular premises,
doctrines, tenets, and manifestations in Biblical scripture. This
fact doesn't detract from the validity of those scriptural components.
Though, "no such phrase" may not have been employed in those days, it
doesn't take away from the fact there may have been community
organizers. In fact, the Apostle Paul comes very close to fitting the
definition. This also is not to suggest that a community organizer is
anathema. What I find offensive is any attempt to describe Christ as
a community organizer in order to elevate the vocation to lofty
heights. Jesus Christ simply was not a community organizer. If
anything, he served as a contrary example. If it is a legitimate
exercise to describe Christ as community organizer, then it's
legitimacy can be adduced from the time-honored canon of writings from
which excerpts can be submitted to buttress the assertion.
Nah, he didn't do any organizing. He just had those guys surrounding
him for playing cards and partying. Religion and faith in a belief
certainly couldn't be characterized by community, could it?
Loose bible interpretations are part and parcel of the evangelical
movement. I could quote several passages that could easily be
interpretted to mean Jesus was gay or believed in guns.
Revolutionary? Like Trotsky or Lenin? Did they organize people
around ideas? Oh yeah. Were people motivated to believe in and act
on behalf of one or the other? Oh yeah. Isn't that how Trotsky ended
up witn an ice pick in his forehead while living in Mexico?
Now how did Jesus die and for what? Not organizing around a set of
ideas?
No, it's being used derisively by the right to justify obstructionism.

>What I find offensive is any attempt to describe Christ as

Yes, unless it was a Republican who was elected President after having
served his community in a way that helped them deal with their daily
lives.
Then you'd be perfectly happy with the comparison.
Trotsky was killed by a blow to the back of the head with a cut down
Ice "hatchet" and the wound wasn't imediatly fatal. ie he didn't die
on the spot.
YOu should know how Jesus died, and the reason. It wasn't for partying
and playing cards,.
?;^ )
It's worth noting the ease with which anyone can assert that Jesus was
a community organizer as opposed to submitting any scriptural evidence
to support the claim. But, you are right, what is crucially important
is that Christ died that the individual might be reconciled with God,
and that having been done out of a true compassion. And what He
endured to ensure that end illustrates that love. I think one of the
reasons that I tend to detest any description of Christ as a community
organizer, aside from the reason I've stated already, is that it takes
away from what Christ was and is. It installs His divinity in a
secular compartment, for lack of a better way of putting it.

Jesus can be whatever you want..., just as "the bible" can prove or
disprove any belief you have.
As an example, to me, if he existed at all, Jesus was a pretty cool dude
with some socially acceptable ideas about his fellow man who spent his
life preaching his vision of Judaism to Jews in the general area in
which he supposedly lived, and who had no idea or desire to convert Jews
or pagans to a new religion. As with every other religion, Christianity
is a creation of man.

If Jesus was a pretty cool dude, then he's so simply because you've

Christ described accurately. What a laugh.
What makes you think your understanding of Christ is the one true

He wasn't even a Christian dude, he was Jewish. Born, lived, died.
All of his followers were Jewish. They all attended Temple,
celebrated the Sabbath, Passover, The New Year and the Harvest.
Guess what? There was no Easter!
The son of God but god himself! Virgin birth! Walked on water!
Turned water into wine? Oh no, that wasn't him. He cured leprosy and
came back from the dead. It's true, it's true!

Now for the occasionally indolent reader that may chance upon this
post, here's an excerpt from the Wikipedia article;
"Community organizing is a process by which people living in proximity
to each other are brought together in an organization to act in their
shared self-interest. Unlike other forms of more consensual "community
building," community organizers generally assume that social change
necessarily involves conflict and social struggle in order to generate
collective power for the powerless. A core goal of community
organizing is to generate durable power for an organization
representing the community, allowing it to influence key
decision-makers on a range of issues over time. In the ideal, for
example, this can get community organizing groups a place at the table
before important decisions are made.[1] Community organizers work with
and develop new local leaders, facilitating coalitions and assisting
in the development of campaigns."
You're living a fantasy with the insurance salesman. Do you really
think it's that important to prove Jesus was a community organizer to
a serial deflector who'll skirt every communication that doesn't suit
his argument? Are you another of the sour grapes dweebs who cannot
stand our President compared to Jesus?

Oh Golly, several things come to mind.

presuppositional definitions. I believe it has to do with nothing more

Here are some quotes from The Man Himself, Obama:
*************************************************************
"I am a Christian. I'm rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe
that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that
there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people."
"Alongside my own deep personal faith, I am a follower, as well, of
our civic religion,"
Obama boasts of a "personal relationship with Jesus Christ."
Obama says he prays regularly. "It's not formal, me getting on my
knees. I think I have an ongoing conversation with God."
"When we abandon the field of religious discourse�when we ignore the
debate about what it means to be a good Christian or Muslim or Jew;
when we discuss religion only in the negative sense of where or how it
should not be practiced, rather than in the positive sense of what it
tells us about our obligations toward one another; when we shy away
from religious venues and religious broadcasts because we assume that
we will be unwelcome�others will fill the vacuum. "
"We worship an awesome God in the blue states and we don't like
federal agents poking around in our libraries in the red states. "
"The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God�s greatest gift to us,
the bedrock of this nation. A belief in things not seen. "

I would guess that in your eyes, Obama must be a raging hypocrite, an
irrationale 'believer', or just a good liar.

It's that he finds my missives so unpalatable that he has me filtered,
and he uses others through which to carry on with the conversation.
Em, the question has to do with whether or not Christ was a community
organizer. Though, what is described in this encyclopedic definition
does not parallel what is described or recorded of the early church.
Early Christianity was set apart from the community-at-large in nearly
all corners of the Roman empire.
Ahhh. Well, I don't go that far. I think you're just another right-wing
asshole.
Surely you are not connecting jesus with "early christianity." In the
lifetime of jesus, in the area where he lived and preached, there were
jews and there were pagans. There were no christians.

I think you've managed to use the word I had in mind. Sorry if I
confused, it was indeed meant for the insurance salesman.
I only selectively respond to his tripe. Engaging him directly is a
lost cause. He's a master of deflection and the red herring.
His main foil is the bible, in the spirit of Pat Robertson.
It was a Jewish faction organized around him and his ideas. He was
appealing to those who found his message to be in their self interest.
Sure sounds like a community organizer to me.
I'm sure there'll be some bible verses upcoming that'll cast Jesus
otherwise, interpretationally.

Peacekeeping through war. Excellent.
Circumstantial ad hominem?
As if he hasn't provided enough direct proof of his fundy idiocy?
I know, we can figure it out by having a bible quoting contest!
lol! Thats kinda like watching football games on tv's at Walmart.
I just wish that Walmart would provide seats.
A Walmart shopper. Yup. A conservative who likes sending money to
China, as long as he gets the lowest price!!!
GOP, The Fuck America Party.
ROFL! What contest, dude? You haven't quoted or cited anything! you've
tied yourself into knots trying to keep up. how do you know the guys a
fundy anyway? Just because he's done the research and you havent? Your a
winner alright!
I live in the modern world have no regard for those who need bible
passages to guide their existence.
The passages he's quoting could be interpretted to mean whatever
argument he'd like to make. It's a ruse. Evidently, you buy into
bullshit easily since you think he's actually made a point.
He or I could quote several passages that confirm your behavior is
reason for you to be stoned to death.
I prefer dictionary definitions, and from my knowledge of the
historical accounts of his life, the one posted here for community
organizer fits Jesus fine.
The bible is full of easily manipulated phrases that the disingenuous
use to impart false value to poorly constructed arguments.
Jesus was a community organizer.
Here, learn something about him...
You are right The link you posted is pure liberal spin.
You can? Ok then. show me. I'm here all week.
Or are you going to pull another dodge?
Research? He quoted some passages out of context.

No the question is whether or not the extreme right tried to use community
organizing against Obama in the election. This has nothing to do with Jesus
or the organizing he was a part of.

No it doesn't. If you're genuine in your desire for honest debate, you'll
need to acknowledge the right's attack on Obama for him being a community
organizer.

David Chandler never mentioned community "organizer" or "organizing"
in that link.
Take your own advice and learn more yourself.. The Christ was, and is
a Liberator, not a liberal.
There is a difference.
Everything he quoted directly contradicted you what guys are saying so that
tells me that the guy has done his homework. you and jps haven't shown how
what he has quoted is out of context in anyway at all. That tells me that
you guys don't have a clue.
I didn't offer to, I said I could. No sock puppet is worth the
investment of time. Have a nice weekend.
Good luck.
You must be heading out for a car show. Nice dodge.
Your logic is what doesn't have a clue.
You have a good day today, Em.
Anyone can quote passages in the bible. He provided no context. So, it seems
that you're the one who has a clue failure.
