Jesus was arrested for organizing a mass movement for more merciful governance. (Matthew 25) The last thing Jesus said in public before his arrest was that nations are responsible for 6 simple mercies for the most vulnerable, including welcoming strangers.
If Christ came back he would be a short dark Jew who spoke no English and you would kill him again because he would be called woke and a danger to the wealthy.
Hey don’t forget he was a simple man, a carpenter and the son of a carpenter. The most radical left wing person in the story books you seem to treasure
And Jesus didn’t believe in only feeding some, he fed all! That is being Christian but ofcourse MAGA ISNT GOING TO REALLY SEE THIS EXCEPT THE FEW WHO KEEP POSTING ANIMALS & Music! Ha ha ha
I am not sure the Old Testament is entirely to blame for this phenomenon, because if it were, wouldn't all Jewish Americans be rightwingers, instead of overwhelmingly liberal?
Love ya, Morg, But, uh, Jesus was actually crucified for bucking "official" Jewish temple policy. The Romans didn't care about His being a Jew as long as he wasn't a zealot.
The Jewish priestly aristocracy demanded Jesus' death. Though he supported the emperor's tax, Jesus opposed the 'sacred' tax paid to the priests, their source of wealth. Pontius Pilate found no reason to condemn him (Luke 23:22).
Jesus Christ, assuming he even existed, was all about grace and forgiveness.. compassion and love. Where is the love? Where is the grace or empathy? It’s all just a Maga hypocrisy. It’s not real Christianity. It’s hate and divisiveness.
The crescendo of Christ's life was just before his arrest when Judas sold him out to the priests. Christ told the multitudes, You are the church, not this, pointing to a religious temple. It was not just about Jewish temples but all religions.

The other reason was that he pissed off the people in power.
So that means more than half of them aren’t really reading the Old Testament.
