Why do many Christians believe that Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount" is just"liberal talking points"?

Sermon on the Mount

[andreasderjuengere]

Perhaps because they listen too much to their 'own' church loudspeakers...

instead of thinking by themselves?

[beefcakebradybatson]

They're Trumpsters !!!

[strateguy632]

We don't!

It is practical guidance.

Nothing that liberals say.

[Asker]

"Nothing that liberals say"? Clearly, you're reading a different SOTM...

[Anonymous]

Who said that?

[Asker]

Read the article.

[BarryLiverstone]

Why does anon say many Christians?

[Asker]

Read the article.

[BarryLiverstone]

Let me know your gag username and I’ll read it

[Asker]

Why is that relevant?

[BarryLiverstone]

Doesn’t matter. If I explained why it’s relevant you wouldn’t say your username. So kinda a wasted question.

[Asker]

It has absolutely nothing to do with answering the question. I have noticed that others do this when they're uncomfortable with the question... or it upsets them in some way. They seem to want to launch personal attacks instead of just staying focused on what is being asked. It's truly baffling to me.

[BarryLiverstone]

Not an attack and I answered the q

[BarryLiverstone]

Also it would be impossible to attack an anon. So not sure what you mean

[Asker]

I don't see any answer to the question... just comments about me being anon.

[BarryLiverstone]

The person writing the article doesn’t believe the SOTM was based on liberal talking points. It’s click bait

[Asker]

Good job avoiding answering the question...

[BarryLiverstone]

Ditto

[BarryLiverstone]

Let me know your gag username so and I’ll read it

[Asker]

You are repeating yourself. Why are you fixated on my name? Why can't people just engage in the topic? I really don't care if someone is anon or not. What's your hang up? Why does this bother you so much?

[BarryLiverstone]

Why are you fixated on my name?

Because you asked anon, which says you will never share what your gag username is. This is out of fear.

Why can't people just engage in the topic?

There is a long history of people who ask questions in bad faith and don’t want to have a general discussion. Rather their intentions are to win a debate or convince someone else of their point. It’s not a question to learn information themselves.

I really don't care if someone is anon or not. What's your hang up?

Gag has trolls who create multiple accounts against gag rules to harass others. Asking anon allows people to break many gag rules.

Why does this bother you so much?

I am bothered because I am a member of the gag community and want it to be a place people can feel safe and engaged and heard. Where they can get help. It doesn’t seem like you asked this question to learn or get help on the topic.

I have just answered all 4 of your questions honestly and in good faith. I didn’t lie, didn’t manipulate, I gave you my thoughts. Did my answers help you?

[Asker]

You never answered the original question. You obviously mentioned that you don't feel "safe" answering a question from an anon. This still makes no sense to me. I remain anon because my experience has been that people want to attack me if they don't like the question or have no logical response. That is bullying behavior. Little kids do that... or people who feel threatened to that. So, I choose to remain anon. Others are not threatened by the anon status and answer the questions anyway. I don't lie. I don't manipulate. If you don't want to answer questions from someone who is anon, then just don't bother to answer to begin with. Just keep moving... Happy New Year!

[BarryLiverstone]

I did answer the q: “The person writing the article doesn’t believe the SOTM was based on liberal talking points. It’s click bait”

If that’s not helpful feel free to ask me something else. As you can see my answers are available on my profile and you can see my previous answers to questions.

How can I see your answers to other questions?

[Asker]

Why do you care about my answers to other questions? I don't care about anybody's answers to other questions because opinions can vary by topic. Other answers aren't relevant to me at all. I'm interested in answers to the current question. The reason I say you didn't answer my question is that I want to why many Christians think the SOTM are liberal talking points. You just talked about how the article is click bait. That's not the thoughtful, in depth answer I was looking for. This is surprising because you seem to be presenting yourself as someone who has significant biblical knowledge.

[BarryLiverstone]

I don’t have deep biblical knowledge. I still have a lot to learn

[BarryLiverstone]

I already let you know that many people troll on gag and abuse the anon feature. If they can see the answers you have given to other questions it’s a better way of seeing if you are answering to help others or otherwise.

[BarryLiverstone]

Some Christians believe the SOTM are liberal talking points because they include the beatitudes and can be interpreted to excuse immoral behavior in our modern day society.
