“For the Christian, if someone slap your cheek, you offer the other to be slapped.”

“To a Muslim, if you slap his cheek, he slaps both of yours.”

This is the difference and Muslims have survived and thrived for many years because of it.

And Christians have survived for over 2000 years, what is your point?🤷

So far his point SEEMS to be that he is a very angry man who is without sufficient resources to better his life. He has claimed no religious affiliation but is willing to condemn (repeatedly) those who are willing to be Christian according to the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Church.

I agree with all who suggest he go to a place of quiet prayer.

No surprise that in the end it’s all about you!

Get a job.
Get a second job.
Get a third job.
Spend less.
Move to Mexico.

Many others around the world have many needs greater than yours. If you weren’t so incredibly intolerant in your speech and thinking, maybe more people would be willing to take a chance and help YOU!

You see God! Spoken like a true christian! Judas!
 
Truthsaveus,
Are you a Fundamentalist? :confused: Many of this group seem to hold to this view.

And what are Christians told to do with angry people who are too poor to better their situation?

He sounds very anti-Catholic to me. I have dealt with people like him in the past, no matter what the Church does it is wrong and even if you give them a good reason, they turn around and rag on something else they believe the Church is doing wrong. You can’t win with these types. The best thing to do is to just pray for them.

If you look at the statistics. Mulsims are on the rise while Christianity is on the decline.

These aren’t my statistics so don’t yell at me!

Help them of course, anyway we can.
But, in the case of Truthsaveus, until he makes the move and goes and asks for it instead of sprewing anger behind his computer screen, he will not recieve it.

Meaning you are not Christian?

Your statement: “*For the Christian, if someone slap your cheek, you offer the other to be slapped.”

“To a Muslim, if you slap his cheek, he slaps both of yours.”

This is the difference and Muslims have survived and thrived for many years because of it.*"

You prefer fundamentalist Islam? Hmmmm.
I can only imagine the misery and bitterness that rule your life.

No doubt everyone here is praying for you.

I am not yelling at you. And the Church will prevail, Jesus has told us so. I believe in Him, do you?

Didn’t Christ offer us salvation WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS?

There was probably no time in history that more prayers were said than during WW2 but you can see the result.

There are no more battles in Europe because people still remember the last one. That is what is saving them today.

The last war in the US ended in 1865 and therefore everyone has a false sense of security and generousity. That is why they are willing to sacrifice the one thing that so many other fought so hard in foreign wars to prevent here. INVASION.

I was refering to monentary help offered by Churches, he claimed to be very poor.😉 He must ask them, they can’t help him if they do not know of him or his need.

And I was referring to a change of heart… which leads to the ability of wearing another’s shoes for a day, to increase understanding, and ‘fullness’ of view.

Christ became like us… so as He could then lead us out of where we were… to where we should be. This was done from the ‘inside’, at the place we then were… not keeping one’s distance and making comments.

We all are a mishmash of good and bad… the idea is to increase the good making no more room for the bad. Everyone has some good, and yes, some bad… where are you looking?

RE: illegal alien. It is a factually and legally correct term, despite the PC jargon adopted by management during the tenure of the past two administrations.

THANK YOU FOR THIS OBSERVATION! My sentiments exactly, but I did read somewhere that a liberal, activist judge, (perhaps it was AZ) steeped within the confines of his political correctness, passed a ruling that the term illegal alien could no longer be used in that state.

Where do you think you have a right to exclude YOURSELF from battling an evil invading army? **You are supposed to fight evil where it exist. **The US has a record of doing the same thing. What gives YOU the right to stay on the sidelines and let others fight your part of the battle?

But are we seeing the BIG picture here? Is your anger, perhaps, just a teensy bit misplaced? Point of fact: Would the invaders have come here if American politics included closing our borders and obeying our Constitution? Why blame a poor, uneducated people when they have been used as pawns in furthering the cause of something much larger? Another point of fact: We could close our borders within 24 hours…IF the powers that be really wanted to.

So, please tell me, just WHO is your enemy?

Just like the Church informs me of morals so I can develop a fully formed conscience, they do this with war also following criteria of theory. Are ‘police actions’ included in on this?

The Priest’s have thanked me for my doing my service duty, so the Vietnam War must of been just. When I got my draft notice, I had not heard or asked any Church Official if it was or not… Caesar had called.

Vietnam war is NOT the issue. The issue is an invasion of Mexican for which we have not been given a reason, other than the fact they are Mexican.
