Bible quotes to drive your MAGA relatives crazy [View all]

On the subject of war, Matthew 5: 9: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.”

On the subject of capital punishment, Matthew 5:21: “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment.” (Liberals have to quote the classic King James translation on this one because all the modern translations use the more precise translation “murder” rather than “kill.”)

On the subjects of homosexuality and transgenderism, Matthew 7:1: “Judge not, that you be not judged.”

On the subject of illegal immigration, Matthew 7:12: “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”

On the subject of showing compassion to one and all, Matthew 22:37-40: Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God will all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

On the subject of programs for the poor, Matthew 24:34-36: “Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.”

On the subject of excess wealth, Mark 10:25: “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

On the subject of health care, Luke 14:13-14: “But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”

On the subject of the separation of church and state, Luke 20:25: And He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

On the subject of mercy shown to anyone caught in sin, John 8 : So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her (the woman caught in the act of adultery) first.”
