MSNBC political analyst Zerlina Maxwell criticized conservative-leaning Christians for not being "kinder" and said that South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is "demonstrating how to actually be a Christian," after the 2020 presidential hopeful shrugged off protesters in Iowa last night. "I think that we are going to see a number of protests. Anti-abortion protesters are going to show up at events throughout this primary," she said on MSNBC Live. "I have no doubt. So I think it´s a test for Democrats, including Mayor Pete, about how they can handle that type of direct adversity."

What they mean is, you are supposed to let us punch you and punch you, and you just take it......If not you are a bad Christian.

Because being a Christian is all about "what´s nice" instead of what´s true.
The world according to MSNBC Political Analysts...

You can be a murderer, a fornicator or any manner of sinner who has repented, but you cannot willingly continue in your sins and be a Christian.
We are called to love and forgive. Nobody said anything about being nice.

Her parents were prescient to name her after the weak-willed peasant girl in "Don Giovanni". I suppose tomorrow she´ll ask: if Al Lard is so great, how come mooslimes want to blow up or behead everyone else?

I wouldn´t throw stones if I were Zerlina Maxwell. She should sweep around her own front door.

Somehow they confused “Go and sin no more” with “take pride in your sin and use my church for a ceremony to celibate it”.
Easy mistake to make, I guess.

A white liberal gay guy mentions God causing Christianity to make a momentary come back in the media. They can now move on to discussing whether Kamala Harris is black enough.

#4 is spot on. Jesus says to love - which can be difficult - not to be nice.

Christian, not Christ.
And never gonna be.
Lucky she didn´t say such a thing
around someone with a rope to fashion into a whip.
God is Lamb, yes, and liberals like that part.
But god is also Lion, and liberals like to forget that part.

Why are the big homosexual activists so mean to Cardinal McCarrick? Why are they afraid to support gay hero Terry Bean who is no longer getting invited to big parties while he is on trial for raping a boy?
Why had no one published the photos from Butt´s Grindr profile?

When was the last time you saw Christians protesting?
I think it’s a set up. Those protesters are probably being paid. This guy needs prayers. And that’s what Christians do. Pray

Yes, Jesus forgave sinners, but He also told them to go and sin no more. He didn´t tell the woman caught in adultery to carry on as usual.

Christ himself said he came to bring a sword not peace. Being ´nice´ is another trick of Satan and this analyst has fallen for his deceit.

You need to read the Book to understand the Christian life. Zerlina needs to do her homework.

Being a Christian is not about being a doormat. I note that the Dems rarely fail to criticize and demonize. And it is Dem Activists who are violent. We have ´turned our cheeks ten times over. And while we individually may not return violence for violence, we are not shy of defending our neighbor.
Jesus wasn´t ´Nice´. He was and is Love. A Love so great that he accepted his role as a sacrifice to forever bring God and man together again. To make things right.
Love doesn´t reward bad behavior. It mourns it. You are known by your works, even if you are not redeemed or damned by them, No one - not even one is good enough to earn his way to the Gates of Heaven. No one is bad enough that Christ´s sacrifice cannot redeem them.
Your talk of ´Nice´ is merely code for "Why do you object to our Evil?"
Because Christ would. Remember when Christ drove the money changers from the temple with a knotted rope?

Again, when is the last time Zerlina Maxwell picked up her Bible to read it? And I don´t mean picking a favorite parable or quote. When is the last time she read from beginning to end? Kind of like Michelle Obama talking to Paris about faith. I would like to ask her the same question.
Liberals trying to clean up their liberalism. Acting faithful when it fact the want God out of society. Isn´t that rich?

When someone who does not practice my religion tells me how I should practice it, I pay them no mind. That goes double for people who actively oppose it.
I´m sure the Christians have the same rule.

God gave each of us free will. Each of us can choose to do right or the wrong. About 2% choose a homosexual lifestyle.
The bottom line is that we are free to choose.

Christian´s are not perfect, not Holy, but our Savior is. Jesus, our Savior, paid the penalty for our sins, with his own death on the cross. Only our perfectly Holy Savior could offer himself up to pay that debt, which he did not owe, for each of us. All we Christian´s have done is to realize our helplessness to rid sin from our lives and so willingly receive his gift of sacrifice for us in love, pardon
& grace which is our only salvation and hope. Ephesians 2:4-10

The article quotes this "analyst":
"There are a lot of Americans who voted basically to say we´re not ready for a woman president because 13 percent, surprisingly 13 percent of black men voted for Donald Trump in 2016. So these are still issues we are very much dealing with and grappling with on all fronts."
So according to this fool, the only reason Black men voted for Trump was because they couldn´t deal with a woman president!

Nice doesn´t mean doormat Nicky. Nice doesn´t mean giving up your own principles to embrace immoral and corrupt behavior that mocks God Nicky. I guess you are ignoring the times when Jesus took a whip to the money changers, and when he had a flash or two of real anger at the Pharisees.
I realize the PC crowd is having fun changing meanings of words, but a meek and humble Jesus was actually an example of restrained power. Not being a doormat. The mayor is no Christian. What he is would be described as Churchianity, which is he follows worldly trends and beliefs, not the Godly beliefs and doctrine of the Bible. His lifestyle is a mockery of God, and he will pay for that someday.

As Father Stephen Freeman put it "Christ did not come to make bad men good but to make dead men live."
Being a Christian is not a public works project or a social justice crusade. It is not charity and good works to the exclusion of shame, confession, and repentance. It is the mystery of our salvation, the destruction of sin and death, and our life with our Living Lord and his Church.
