The liberal comments also claimed that because the narrative about Jesus's infancy in Luke does not appear in the other Gospels, then we should accept the also-not-referenced verse about forgiving those who crucified Jesus. That's obviously a non sequitur, because the other Gospels ''do'' recount Jesus's words during the Passion and this verse was not recorded by eyewitnesses. Luke, who was not an eyewitness, would not add a quotation that the eyewitnesses omitted.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 18:25, 25 December 2009 (EST)

It has been said here before, but I will say it again, since the troglodytes (is that a conservative word?) here don't seem to have their logic centers in good working order. You have given no proof that the New Testament is essentially conservative nor that Jesus encourages a free-market economy. You assume from the outset that modern conservative values - whose history you seem to know nothing about - are present in the Bible. You assert that Greek is incapable of expressing modern conservative issues. Their is no problem with the Koine used in the New Testament; rather, reason why you are having difficulty fitting your modern conservative terms there is that they do not capture the issues of Biblical times. But clearly that point is lost on you: you think that there conservatives and Liberals at that time. Sounds like Liberal historical revisionism to me. You are Hypocrites.
When people make legitimate criticisms - both conservatives and those you brand Liberal, both the "public" and experts - you stonewall by picking on spelling mistakes and typos or making leaps in logic. By your own criteria, you should be expelled from your own site.
But - let's have a look at a Biblical passage to see what it says about one of the core conservative planks, namely free market economy. Consider the "logic" in Mark 6:30-6:44: 1. As he gets out of the boat he sees a great mob (ochlos) and ''feels compassion'' for the mob; 2. After teaching awhile, the disciples suggest that Jesus send the mob away to buy food for themselves; 3. Jesus tells the disciples to feed the mob and they ask if they should buy the food for the mob; 4. Instead of sending the disciples to buy food, Jesus takes the five loaves and 2 fish and distributes them to everyone; 5. Everyone was satisfied.
This is what the ''Greek'' says. Twice Jesus denies the need for the market. He restrains the people from buying and then the disciples. Twice. Then he distributes food amongst them with no mention of merit. He has prevented productivity of the people (gathering food for themselves) and has distributed it in such a way that everyone was satisfied. This is the most literal reading one can get from this. Do you deny this, Mr. Schlafly? Can you explain this without interpreting away the apparent socialism? Or will you simply excise this passage?
This CBP is nothing but an attempt to indoctrinate a nation, to prescribe what people are to think and do - it is, in short, a step toward totalitarianism. Say what it is that you want, Mr. Schlafly. Tell the truth, that you want a Reconstructionist fascism. Call me a Liberal if you like; I would rather be that than the revisionist, hypocritical, swindling, delusional, power-tripping fascist that you are Mr. Schlafly.
