“Personally I dont believe any Christian conservatives who truly want to give freely to charity....... would have their panties in twist about their tax dollars going to help the poor etc.””
There you go again confusing Christian charity with government power.
Quit pushing welfare and quit trying to portray it as having anything to do with private charity.
Conservatives don’t dig that, in fact fighting that is kind of what makes us conservatives.
You just don't get it.
I'm beginning to wonder if you are capable of grasping the distinction I am making between Christian charity and government power.
In any case this brings up an interesting point about the authority God gives Govts;
Romans 13:1-7 vs1 "Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. vs2 Therefore he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.
Quit pushing welfare and quit trying to portray it as having anything to do with private charity.
You stop playing these infantile word games in your feeble attempts to misconstrue my stated positions to fit your personal pet peeves.
Nowhere have I "pushed" welfare on these boards.
But I clearly stated that those who claim to be for caring for the poor privately and yet have a fit when govt does the same I believe are phony and hypocritical.
I prefer private charity to govt simply because it is more efficient, and yes it is by free will. That is why I contribute to Christian based homeless shelters.
