Right. The list was a mix. Abortion is a matter of morals - “principles and integrity” as you put it. Matters such as taxation or the best way to provide health care are prudential - there’s really nothing in the Bible that addresses them either way, because it was addressed to a time and place where Christians were a minority group that had no say in how the government was run.
Bwahaa, this is ridiculous and obviously written by a radical right person who may be self centered, selfish, and could care less if others live or die as long as he does not have to spend a cent of HIS money.
Same here. Double chill. Actually it is no fun to be “dinged” by a moderator, as i most deservedly have.
Actually one must address rule #2 as in Revelations and losing(not) your candlestick. Or what is not in the bible," Once right always right;that which has a good beginning must have a good ending; that which began in the Spirit will always remain in the Spirit"…Perhaps we should stick to the political side of the top ten.I guess you mean 1 Timothy 3:15
Is this in the bible ,“The road to hell is paved with good intentions”?
It will shock you to learn, I’m sure, that the “right wing” is the most generous with their own money and time, and that liberals are actually very poor givers of their own resources.
To go back to my earlier suggested addition, “So long as your point is to be kind to the poor, it doesn’t matter how unkind you are to people who might possibly be (but probably aren’t) rich, but happen to disagree with you.”
CAF: Is Pope Francis the Final Roman Pontiff?
Yeah, politics can be dangerous around here! A lot of people don’t differentiate between the moral and the prudential.
Is this in the bible “thou shalt be self centered and greedy and not care if others livest or diest as long as thou are not put out or asked to pay one cent of THY money, for lo no-one else mattereth but thyself only”?
No. Neither is “The greatest of these is charity; therefore charity shall be enforced at gunpoint in the most inefficient and wasteful way imaginable.”
I am sitting at this gifted to me computer wearing two year old holey pants and three year old shoes with holes in the soles, because I cannot afford new and better. The only reason I can even have that is the low SSI payment from the government, just $700 a month for everything bills, food, clothing, you name it.
Every dollar taken from citizens and funneled into government aid is a dollar not available to given to the Church or other private charities. The Church uses money 5 to 10 times as efficiently as the government when it comes to charitable services, and that is well documented. So no, you wouldn’t starve - if that were true then the fact that government aid programs are 100 times bigger than they were 50 years ago would mean that we should have conquered poverty by now.
Have you seen movies of the old baseball negro league’s ? The fans were all dressed to the hilt, sunday best clothes,dignified.This was all before welfare as we know it today.It’s a catch 22, we have helped some with the programs but enslaved,degraded many more.
Given that private charities are both more helpful and far more efficient than government programs, if tax dollars weren’t forcibly taken from income earning citizens to support inefficient government programs, the church would have more charity to help you and people who actually need help.
That is right ,we are half way to communism.Thank you Democrats and wish washy republicans.
