== Socially conservative, economically moderate ==
 
One can only speculate, I believe Christ would be highly conservative with social issues and moderate on economic issues. Now when I say moderate on economic issues, I say that because nearly all modern economic systems lead to a certain degree of sin. Communists and socialists aren't generous at all; under communism and socialism, you likely end up with a greedy government where officials live a life of luxury whereas the rest of the citizens are poor. Under communism and socialism in its purest form, the government owns '''everything'''. Under capitalism, it's easy to end up with greed in the private sector. I don't think Jesus would want to tax people to help the poor, but rather I believe Jesus would want people to choose to help the poor out of the goodness of their heart. Social issues are a no brainier; while Jesus was a forgiving man, that doesn't mean he outright supported sinful activities like homosexuality, adultery, and paganism, and I doubt he would approve of abortion and contraception either.

:Can you please point me to biblical passages where Jesus clearly and unambiguously expressed an opinion on homosexuality? [[User:MattyD|MattyD]] 19:43, 5 December 2012 (EST)
