Those aren't teachings specific to Jesus, those are reflections on natural law, which you can find codified in the OT.
You can also just look around at the creation and figure out that all of those things are deeply problematic.
The world is in advanced stages of wholesale conflation+confusion of OT, NT, natural law, human reasoning, self-indulgence, and Jesus Christ. This unholy stew, seasoned with Eastern religions, yoga, paganism, atheism, is promoted in gov schools as-if it’s “something.” Pray for everyone’s children.

Valerie described a current example with Gavin Newsom’s (i hope, wildly ignorant) interstate billboard displays promoting gov-promoted+sponsored abortion. He cited Mark 12:31 to promote for-profit abortion corporations. :( At best, vapid.

(i believe assisted suicide is abortion’s cousin, as are trans surgeries for minors.) they have a common root. death.
spiritual and/or physical death. official, stated primary focus = the unborn, the vulnerable, the unprepared, the defenseless.

could this be understood to be “just war” against human life? promoters go to every length to justify it! (ultimately, for profit.)

That billboard stuff is just crazy. It's blasphemous, and it makes literally not sense. Seems like the devil is really getting his way in CA.

Those billboard were not in CA.
They’re in states with restricted for-profit abortion corporation access. i presume they are in place, probably more added.

It’s legal to quote from scriptures for any end purpose, not to teach about scriptures in context. Quite a plan, eh?

hillary, obama, etc., are cool with Christianity - as long as Christianity is used to support (the lib agenda).
^^stated in their own words. i dub it hillary’s church, for short. being she briefly flirted with being a Methodist pastor, until (cough) her minister-mentor was caught with plagiarism. it was him, not her, of course. followed with silence. (thankfully)
for a time, there was noise about a Zuckerberg church. (ay-ya-ya) you can see the attraction church has for (abuse). they aren’t the first with such ideas!
