Exactly…that’s what I think of when I see these so called “Christians” who instead of leading by example, living a life of servitude and modesty, caring for the poor, being opposed to wealth and power and following in Christ’s footsteps…instead base their whole existence on hateful rhetoric, horrible levels of judgmental and bigoted behavior, literal worship of the wealthy and powerful, and disgust towards the poor.

It IS the very thing that the passage you posted speaks of. You will know them by their works.

If Jesus were to appear today, he’d be labeled a socialist by these people and be completely rejected.

That is the thing I just don't get, there are tons of ways to get to a "good" place even using christian beliefs and Jesus's words/works.... and the same for republicans.

They push for a christian government but forget many of jesus' words/works.

When asked who is a good person, it isn't a person who goes to your church or a priest of your church... it is a person that helps you, that takes you from danger and pays for medical care. Sounds like an endorsement of a christian government taking care of the medical needs of the people to me.

When a woman is going to be killed because of religious law, jesus stepped in and said, "yo, everyone here has broken the religious law, stop it"... sounds like the government shouldn't be imposing religious law to me.

When asked who is going to heaven, he said, "yo... you think you love me and follow me, well why don't you feed me, dress me, take care of me, visit me in prison..." they were confused and said, "you ain't been hungry".. he points out "what you do those in pain and suffering, those that you feel are below you, you are doing to me, quit being assholes and take care of each other"... hmm, sounds like we should be gladly putting in for SNAP(food stamps), helping the poor, and making prison not a torture center.
