Thanks for the comment!

As for Jesus, He transcends both conservative and liberal. He was in the world but not of the world.  He was and is far above any of our earthly human based intellectualism and/or social constructs/dynamics.

He doesn’t call us to be conservative or liberal, He calls us to be Holy as He is Holy … and then makes a way for us to be that (through faith in His atonement of us.)

Trying to fit Jesus into a box is a human thing. But He was not “liberal”, “conservative”, or what have you. He was a monotheist Deity who had no need of any label, other than “Christ” All His acts and qualities can be interpreted as the human has need of; we’re fallible that way. We’ll always seek our perceived need and make the means for it. Jesus on the other hand always pointed to the supremacy of God the Father in all things.
