Because he expected people to lift themselves up and be better individuals, it was the individuals job to Love their Neighbor, he never laid the responsibility on the Government nor asked the Government to do it for the people. He was about personal responsibility and personal accountability.
Sorry but BWAAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAAA!!!!!!!!
“And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
Do you have a guess as to why that is?
[color=#000000]Yes - because greed/pure capitalism is the root of all evil, right?“But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?”
How do you reconcile that? Where is the demand for the government to take from all and be the arbiter of charity? Why don't you realize that when the government got in the charity business, they STOLE what we had to be charitable WITH, and you sit in judgment, right.
Who says "take all"?? Why do you equate "some" with "all" - how much are you taking with you when you die?
Oh, and those pastors preaching to thousands in an auditorium and living in mansions... they're cool, right?“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”
“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”
Obama is in Truuubbbuulll..
Yeah, probably - so's donny orange“Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.”
I'll bet you think that is only pointing out that we all possess thing that belong, rightfully, to God, and Caesar, if you want, and just as we each have things that belong to God, we are all fallen and, that moment was being tempted, yielding, and knowing,
Separate church from state - most cons I know don't...
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.”
Yet, our hirelings hold us hostage in the basement and ransack our castle.
Do they? All of them? You sure about that? Any idea how much our "hirelings" do for this country? My, your thrown is quite high, isn't it?“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”
Read that again.
Maybe you should too - the cons are HUGE hypocrites. Look at the governor that just resigned. The cons identify with the moral high ground... HA!! Of course, just look at donny orange for hypocrisy...“But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.”
You poor dear. Context, man. Sermon on the Mount, bread and fishes miracle. Try again.
Give for no reason - let all come in - everyone is equal. Yeah dear... context." But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
Forgiving a snake for hitting me when I reached under the bush? Sure,, I can do that. But Don't pretend that because I avoid the snake and warn others of the dangers that I didn't forgive.
No mention of snakes - just forgiveness of trespasses. Meaning that it's already taken place.... read it again.
Yep - sounds like a conservative to me! LOL[/color]
Yep,me too.
