Jesus, while he walked the earth, had a large drawing among the people. Some followed him wherever he went and listened to him raptly. Those that were able to get close enough were able to have conversations with Jesus and what they learned could be used today. This information has been, largely, ignored in this modern world and studying his word has taken a back seat to other things.
The political world would be as divided as the political world then was. Many of the ideas that politicians think about would not conform to the what would Jesus do mentality that some propose they follow. They are mixed up as to what is the right thing and just talking to each other would bring the same responses they had during that first few decades of AD.
War would be the subject of one of those conversations. One of the things that our Savior would comment on is that all things that are done should go toward improving our society. This would be based on what is the greatest benefit to people, generally. The discussion would not center around religious differences, however, as that is only a smoke screen for what is happening in places like the middle east, where he came from.
A famous phrase of his about peace makers being blessed is well known but misunderstood. He encouraged his followers to take up their swords and follow him. He did not encourage senseless violence and was the first to administer first aid to his enemies even as they were arresting him. Gun control would not be on his list of things to have done to people.
When discussing abortion, the visitor gets an entirely different idea than what is in the media. People are divided about this issue now and they were not divided about this issue then. It has no bearing on what is the proper way to care for family members, born or unborn. He would be the first to state that science, in the form of Latin words, defining the term fetus as an unborn person.
The basic differences between men and women have a root in the teachings of all of the Old and New Testament. He would make sure that they have a firm grip on all of the things he would say in answer to any question. The conversations one would have with him would, of necessity, be questions and not lectures to him as his very nature would quell any of those thoughts.
Reading the Bible, not all of the talks Jesus had with people will make a great many modern people happy for the issues they are presented. These have been written down and they are available for an imagined conversation with him. Most people, facing the choices they have and the decisions they make will feel bad about them if they knew what the right choice was.
Having any number of conversations with Jesus would, they believe, not be in the best interests of most people. The things they believe are right and morale will fall very short of what he left for us in the Bible. His tolerance, religious teachings and unconditional love would not fit in with most peoples lives and they would know it immediately.
