"What you do for the Least you do for me" gets applied to immigration policy concerning poor Central Americans.

"Sell your possessions, give to the poor, then follow Me"

"Do not judge or you will be judged by the same measure"
gets applied to gay people and pregnant women.
But casual divorce is abhorrent. Don't be trashing the lives of children you brought into the world. "You banged it you bought it". Jesus was very clear on that part.

"Love your enemies" and "Turn the other cheek"
gets applied to the U.S. Dept of "Defense".

I would love to see the USA start following Jesus. What He is actually quoted as teaching in the Gospels.

Unfortunately for God's Children some pagans took over around 1500 years ago. Now we've got Creflo Dollar, Trump, and the Vatican.
