re: """... “How do you reconcile your progressive ideals with your faith?” I answered the question that Jesus cared about the poor. He admonished us to “feed the hungry,” “clothe the naked,” “heal the sick,” and “visit those imprisoned.” Jesus performed a stunning feat of civil disobedience by over-turning the tables of the moneychangers in the temple and was subsequently executed by the Empire of his time. Jesus was the ultimate progressive radical. Jesus’ name is exploited by our materialistic society at Christmas time when he changes from the right-wing Christian warmonger to the “Prince of Peace.”"" Jesus welcomed the “least of these” to his table. He didn’t exclude sinners, lepers or prostitutes who were the pariahs of his day. Today, I am convinced that if Jesus returned he would welcome gays and non-white people (even “illegal” immigrants) to commune with him. The only people I ever heard Jesus speak badly about were the “brood of vipers” (Mt 3:7) that were the Sadduccees (Democrats?) and Pharisees (Republicans?) who in the parable, with hypocritical piety, walked right by the man who had been beaten, robbed and left by the side of the road to die without helping him and they turned his “Father’s” house (the Temple) into a “den of thieves.” (Mt. 21:12).....""" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Printable Lyrics John Stewart Lyrics Database Title: FRIEND OF JESUS Songwriter: John Stewart Lyrics: Jesus was a friend of John's Jesus was a friend of Paul's He was a friend of Matthew James, John, down the line I do believe I'd have been a friend Of Jesus in his time Jesus walked the streets at night Jesus he didn't need a light Jesus walked with the harlots And he ran with the hoodlum kind And I do believe I'd have been a friend Of Jesus in his time Jesus hung with the hard line gang Jesus knew the songs they sang He didn't have no money I hear he didn't have a dime I do believe I'd have been a friend Of Jesus in his time I do believe I'd have been a friend Of Jesus in his time Good God Almighty, my darling Jesus You are a friend of mine Come on along, we'll sing another song Of Jesus in his prime They caught him in the yard, the national guard And Jesus, he was crucified Open up the door, he's seen it all before And Jesus, he is on your side Good God Almighty, my darling Jesus You are a friend of mine You ought to know that He will walk you home Jesus, he's there by your side Good God Almighty, my darling Jesus You are a friend of mine californiabloodlines.com <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> One of my all time favorite songs by one of my all time favorite artist..
