St. Louis - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry is quoting the Bible to question President Bush's claim to be a compassionate conservative.

Kerry campaigned from the pulpit today at New North Side Baptist Church in St. Louis.

He told worshipers, ``The Scriptures say, 'What does it profit, my brother, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?''' The Massachusetts senator added, ``When we look at what is happening in America today, where are the works of compassion?''

Kerry noted that three (m) million jobs have been lost since President Bush [related, bio] took office.

Kerry is Roman Catholic, but has chosen to ignore the pope's directive that Catholic politicians do all they can to stop abortion. In an interview with Time magazine, Kerry said, ``I don't tell church officials what to do, and church officials shouldn't tell American politicians what to do in the context of our public life.''

[right way right]

Satan also tried to use scripture to tempt Jesus!

We should be so lucky.

Kerry campaigned from the pulpit today at New North Side Baptist Church in St. Louis.

Oh well, Kerry's new Palistenian buddy said essentially that Bush is an enemy of God as well. Suppose the two got together to compare theology before hand?

"He told worshipers, ``The Scriptures say, 'What does it profit, my brother, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?''' The Massachusetts senator added, ``When we look at what is happening in America today, where are the works of compassion?''"

We have a scripture lawyer here.

Appears he is quoting James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

So JFKerry perverts the scripture, cause the kind of "work" and "profit" that is spoken of is explainded in verse 18...


Yea, a man may say, "Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works."

KOMMIE-KERRY

HAS ABOUT as much

heart-felt-&-applied

familiarity with The Bible

As Billdo and Shrillery have with

chastity, morality, humility and patriotism.

. . . which I'd guage at roughly in the -1300% realm--or worse.

The fact is that kerry and a whole bunch of other people who call themselves Roman Catholic are not. One either subscribes to the whole enchilada or one does not. That means you are either a Roman Catholic or you are not.(of course the more softened version is that one is a "lapsed catholic)

This story is just too funny to comment..

The dims gotta understand this case here -

when Bush quote the scriptures, he is believable, and he makes his enemies squirm...

when the dims quote the scriptures, they come out phony, opportunistic and really turning off the religious base...

Kerry should learn the lesson of Gore or the film critics of the movie "Passion" -

the lesson is - if you have nothing good to say, don't say it! and most importantly, don't be a phony in saying stuff you yourself don't believe.

It would be interesting to find out what type of Baptist Church is this New North Side. I'd be willing to bet it's not SBC or Independent.

[reformed_dem]

Hey, even satan can quote scripture.

[abclily]

He tells bare-faced lies at the altar? What kind of church is this? Kerry trashed their church.

[Just mythoughts]

"but, we can argue.... was president bush the compassionate guy on the executions comitee in his previous job?"


Hello, have you not read, what the penalty for KILLING is, very biblical to send KILLERS back to the MAKER to face the one they KILLED while on earth.

[TejasRose]

You signed up just today to say that?!?!!!!! Loudwhispers of a troll!!!

[Thinkin' Gal]

``When we look at what is happening in America today, where are the works of compassion?''

What an arrogant POS. He doesn't mingle with the little people much, does he. Kerry defines compassion a theft scheme owned and operated by Caesar.

[seastay]

Kerry out to at least do a little bible study before he begins preaching, for example it is written;

Matthew 7:3
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

Kerry's phoney stance on the economy in words can't be backed up in deeds, as his fortunes are the result of thousands of his families out sourced Hienz jobs moved overseas where pay is at slave wages!

[Just mythoughts]

"Hey, even satan can quote scripture."


Yes, quotes it so well most do not know that his quoting is twisting of scripture. Very similar to the method of twisting of scripture by JFKerry.

Course JFKerry is concerned with the "PROFIT" it affects his tax collection and income distribution "god" status.

[abclily]

The more Kerry appears in public, the more he 'Gorifies' himself.

[maryz]

LOL! I stand corrected -- I had no idea he was so generous!
