Right - Right vs. Left

Postby dreams » Thu Nov 13, 2003 12:30 am

Meaning: Political terms. Right meaning conservative. Left meaning liberal.

Matthew 25:32-33
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: [33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

It was a practice in some European assemblies to seat the honored nobles, who were more conservative, on the prefered right side of the hall. The less-esteemed and more revolutionary liberals were seated on the left.
