Some Christians are flocking to Bernie Sanders

I'm a deacon, board member, and chair person at a Christian church, and I'm a Bernie supporter. I'm certainly in the minority there, but occasionally someone tracks me down to tell me they like my bumper stickers ??

Thank you! I am a licensed minister and I also support Bernie.

The irony of a jewish man delivering the Christian message (again) two milllennia later. As a Christian, there is only one candidate delivering a message that would be the same as what Jesus would believe - i.e., Bernie Sanders.

OP - it is so true, the message is one of love, caring for the poor and the outcasts of society.

Couldn’t agree more! Being Christian and living in the image of Jesus is helping the less fortunate, being kind and good to each other; not exploiting others to gain as money as one can in our lives here one earth!

Go Bernie!!! ????

As Christians, let us compare:

\#1 Jesus: Jewish, Carpenter, Socialist, Humanist, Leader, Radical, Humble, Honest, Good.

\#2 Bernie: Jewish, Carpenter, Socialist, Humanist, Leader, Radical, Humble, Honest, Good.

\#3 Trump: Godless, Crook, Selfish, Narcissist, Tyrant, Fearmonger, Sociopath, Liar, Killer.

\#4 Putin: Godless, Crook, Selfish, Narcissist, Tyrant, Fearmonger, Sociopath, Liar, Killer.

The difference is clear, is it not? Do we, or do we not, have values: morals, ethics, faith, love, compassion, or decency? Yes. Are we hypocrites? No.

Therefore, the choice is clear.

Pastor John Pavlovitz is another good resource.
Another thing I say to my right wing brothers and sisters is the way our politics are set up in our country gives me no way to vote for social justice issues that Jesus spoke about and protect everyone equally. I have worked with the poor for most of my life and I vote for “the least of these”. I can’t see it being the same old thing voting one way. We have to beat Trump.

There's also James 5:1-6. "1 Come now, you rich, weep and wail over your impending miseries. 2 Your wealth has rotted away, your clothes have become moth-eaten, 3 your gold and silver have corroded, and that corrosion will be a testimony against you; it will devour your flesh like a fire. You have stored up treasure for the last days. 4 Behold, the wages you withheld from the workers who harvested your fields are crying aloud, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and pleasure; you have fattened your hearts for the day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned; you have murdered the righteous one; he offers you no resistance." I need to get around to reading James because it seems to have the best Bible verses. Also, Jesus healed the sick and he did it for free. Bernie's Medicare for All will do the same thing. Jesus stood up for the most marginalized in his day, including sex workers and lepers and Bernie also stands for the most fricked over in this rotten system.

Absolutely zero need for people to feel like the GOP is the only party for Christians. It's time to wake up all the one-issue voters.

Glad to hear it :) I don't understand how people claim to follow Jesus while supporting candidates so antithetical to what he taught. Bernie embodies the compassion for ALL.
