"Jesus was a protestor."

Christians who hold the Bible as their authority need to be more upset about pictures of Jesus.
Pictures of Jesus are a violation of the 2nd Commandment.

The caption to the cartoon, that included a fake picture of Jesus:

"Jesus devoted his life to speaking, helping, supporting, defending, empowering, healing, freeing, and loving everyone, especially saving those who were in desperate need from the hands of oppressors, rulers, officials, mobs, and those who intended to harm, kill, and destroy — because Jesus was a protester.
"Sometimes the most Christ-like thing we can do is protest."

Arkitekyuklid copied from an article in a “progressive Christian” magazine:

"Progressive Christian" is a new term for Liberal. Liberalism, not Christianity.
You can expect rejection of orthodox Christian doctrine and ethics.

You can see what kind of blasphemous trash that magazine is about on their Facebook page, from transvestites to female preachers.

When a professing Christian quotes from a source like this, you have to ask: is this individual a Christian at all?
A Bible-believing Christian would not defer to this garbage.
Does he hold to biblical Christianity or "progressive Christianity"?
"Progressive Christianity" is a false religion.

Progressive Christianity is dangerous because of the use of biblical language.
It's a mixture of truth with error.

What does a "protestor" look like?
A bunch of university students standing on a corner with signs, yelling.
Jesus wasn't rallying against the government of his day. He wasn't leading a march. He wasn't calling for the overthrow of Rome.

Jesus was breaking man-made traditions, but followed God's Law to the letter. He came not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it.

Jesus did not have the attitude or program of a protestor.
Jesus was preaching the Gospel of God.
He was not a Zealot. He refused to be made an earthly king.

If anything, the Pharisees were accusing him of being a protestor, to Pilate.

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be delivered over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not from here.”
—John 18:36

Jesus was bringing the Kingdom of God. He was fulfilling the Old Testament Scriptures.

Jesus claimed to be God.
Is a protestor ever one who is in authority? No. By definition, the protestor is not in power.

But Jesus is God, and man. He taught as one who had authority.
When he was contradicting the religious teaching of the day, he was giving the proper interpretation of the Law.

He was the boss coming down to earth and putting people in their place—the true and greater Prophet, Priest, and King.
