How Would Jesus Answer #HWJA in the Debate

I've seen bumper stickers and signs saying, "Vote 4 Jesus". So I was wondering how would Jesus have answered some of those questions during the 2nd presidential debate?

Here is my take.

Jeremy's Question:  What can you say to reassure me, but more importantly my parents, that I will be able to sufficiently support myself after I graduate?

Jesus:  Listen, Jeremiah.

Jeremy:  It's Jeremy.

Jesus' Answer:  No, it's Jeremiah. Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. Further, I know that you are going to graduate in 2014 and you're worried about your future. Don't worry about tomorrow. Besides look at all the living creatures on this planet...I take care of them. I will supply for all your needs.


Question:  In what new ways do you intend to rectify the inequalities in the workplace, specifically regarding females making only 72% of what their male counterparts earn?

Answer:  Long before either of these two guys, I stepped across gender barriers and reached out to women.


Question:  What is the biggest difference between you and George W. Bush?

Answer:  I would say that one of the biggest differences would be that he is the son of a former president. I am the Son of the Only Living God. Booyah.


Jesus:  Lorraine. Your question please.

Question:  What do you plan on doing with immigrants without their green cards that are currently living here as productive members of society?

Answer:  Listen, the whole world is Mine. I've been accepting people into My house who are not My people for ages. I've also said that everyone that comes to Me, I will give them peace and rest. So get your illegal tails over here.


Question:  Who was it that denied enhanced security and why?

Answer:  It wasn't Me. I was there with them.


Question:  Using specific examples, can you take this opportunity to debunk the misperceptions and set us straight?

Answer:  I'm glad you asked that question. Since I haven't used any statistics yet I'd like to use some now. I am 100% man and 100% God. I know that sounds confusing and the numbers don't add up in your mind but you should know that it works out for your good. Look at it this way, I'm twice as good as anyone giving 100%.

I also am in love with 100% of the world. Regardless of race, religion, or gender. And every single person that puts their trust in Me will live eternally.

Those are the facts.

What Our Response Should Be To The President-Elect

I meant to write this earlier today (Nov 5th) but have been real busy with other things going on. Anyway here are my 2 cents.

First, I did not vote for Barack Obama. I have a lot of concerns about his capabilities as being the Commander and Chief. I also question if all the promises that were made will come to pass (yet you can expect that from every politician).

Now that is out of the way. I feel it our duty, as True Christians, to uphold in prayer our President-Elect rather than make foolish Christian rhetoric. I can't believe how many times I saw statements that dealt with Barack Obama ushering in the end of the world. Really people!? IS that what we Christians do when we don't get our way: "Something didn't go my way, so it must be close to the end of the world." A Christian temper tantrum.

Have you ever watched the movie "Ice Age". You remember the Dodo birds. They tried to prepare for the end of the world with just 3 melons. When our herd of misfits came near the birds started chanting "Doom on You, Doom on You." We Christians can't afford in this season to act like the Dodo birds but we are. We think we have it all figured out but trust me we have fallen short in our preparations to establish the Kingdom of God. Our "Doom on You" mentality when things don't go our way just shows our ignorance of scripture, gives us a bad testimony, and further prevents the work of God to take place.

When Jesus was asked what the two greatest commandments were He said the first was to love God and the second was to love your neighbor. That means every person we know on earth we are meant to show love and compassion for. The neighbor who blasts music way too loud and way too early in the morning - we need to love him. The grocery store clerk who charged you twice for items in your cart - we need to love her. The homosexual who is proud of his lifestyle - we need to love him. The person driving their car 5 miles under the speed limit when we're 10 minutes late - we need to love her. The President-Elect who you may not agree with - we need to love him.

Our prayers for Barack Obama should not be ones that are tainted with hatred. But heart-felt prayers for the man and those who he chooses to serve with him to be guided by God. Christians are good activists when it comes to things not turning out their way (Doom on You). Christians should be known for their proactive love and sincere prayers (But we're not). Let's try to make steps to change that. Pray for Barack Obama. Pray for Joe Biden. Pray for Rahm Emanuel. Show love; that's truly what Jesus would do.

Father, we come before You rejoicing. Knowing that You know all things and have greater understanding then we do. Forgive us for our "Doom on You" attitude. Help us to show Your love by loving our neighbors. As You well know our country made many choices recently. Some that we agree with and some we don't. Father, I lift up our President-Elect, Barack Obama. Guide him. Give him courage and strength for the tasks that are set before him. Bless his family. With the same prayer I lift up those who are working with him, Joe Biden the Vice President-Elect and Rahm Emanuel the White House Chief of Staff. You alone have laid out the future and know what stands before these men. Lord, guide them to do their work with integrity and morality. If they do not have a relationship with You bring someone in their path that will point to You. Thank You. We love You. Amen.
