I truly believe that if Jesus came back today he would surround himself with
- people of color
- women
- anyone who falls under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella
- people with mental illnesses
- people with physical disabilities
- the homeless
- the poor
- the lower classes
I get the feeling he wouldn’t be hanging out with your typical upper class, rich, white, evangelical protestant Christians. But that’s just a hunch
Or he would just hang out with everyone, rich and poor, healthy and ill, etc, because things like that wouldn’t make a difference for him.
Yeah, it’s not like Jesus would tell you to love your neighbor as yourself or anything.
Love to be the bearer of this news to OP: Black churches tend to be very solid in their faith and very evangelical. Also the majority of evangelist are lower class and rural, and the pastor’s arnt exactly rich either (which is why mega churches are an exception, not a norm).
Also seeing as to how Jesus was a man of the working class, a carpenter, who preached love for ones neighbors and God, and was crucified by the privileged people claiming to be victims and using the authority of an oppressive regime to have an innocent man tortured and put to death (wait, this sounds familiar). So while he would be with people who are the actual rejects of society , he wouldn’t ally himself with any social justice bs
He literally did hang out with all kinds of people. He picked a fricking tax collector (who were notoriously rich, not to mention hated by everyone else) as one of his twelve disciples.
