To: Choose Ye This Day
A verse for (st.) John, and other welfareitus liberals to meditate on.

2 Thessalonians 3
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

To: HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath

Kerry and the libs love to talk about how Jesus said we should feed the hungry and help the needy, and they say that that is prima facie evidence that Federal welfare programs are in line with Christian teachings.

It's funny. Christ told me to "render unto Caesar" what is due to Caesar--in other words, I should pay my taxes and be a good citizen. But throughout the scriptures, when Christ tells me to help the needy, He tells ME to help the needy. He doesn't say, "Give your money to Caesar, and Caesar will feed the hungry."

I wonder why? I also wonder why the Democrats never explain why the Bible doesn't mention putting Caesar (the government) in as the middleman for my charitable giving?
