Perhaps they should see what the Disciples had to say after being taught by Jesus - something about how, if a man will not work, he should not eat....
What would Jesus steal from Peter to buy Paul’s vote?
That applies to individuals, not governments.
Charity at gunpoint is not charity.
The commandment is "Thou shalt not steal", not "Thou shalt not steal unless you're a government".
He’d cut abortion funding for sure, the execution of the most helpless, weak and poor of our society.
I think they’re confusing Jesus with Robin Hood. Yes, Jesus taught us to be generous, caring, and charitable. But that’s not what they’re pushing. Jesus didn’t take money by force from some, by threat of imprisonment and death, and then give it to others, yet that’s what they’re trying to bend his legacy to justify.
When ever someone uses the WWJD argument, you can be sure they have no idea of who He is and what He stands for.
If anyone pays attention to the libertarian threads here, we are seeing libertarians getting extremely religious and preachy on why we Christians should not be against the homosexual agenda etc, in politics.
I think as we see (are witnessing) the weight shift from an actual Christian adult population, to a growing anti-Christian population that views Christians as ignorant and pliable, that we will see this more and more.
Political movements sense a Christian structure within American society, and more and more will want to construct their political messages to fit within that structure, as they try to reshape their messages to reach the Christian holdouts to liberalism/libertarianism.
That is why we are seeing many posts now that call for us to become libertarian on social issues, BECAUSE we are Christians, not in spite of it.
Should Government tell people Homosexuality is wrong, or should Christian communities influence those decisions ?
“Our faith tells us that the moral test of a society is how it treats the poor.”
These people don’t get it. Proper morality wouldn’t create a welfare state where inter generational poverty and dependency is created with the welfare state.
The welfare state is completely immoral. The tax burden keeps rising and taking everything from people who work increasingly long hours just to keep up. Hard working people are becoming stressed and burned out trying to work to pay all the taxes demanded by the welfare state.
That’s immoral.
Jesus said render unto Caesar those things that belong to Caesar.
He didn’t say render everything to Caesar and then let Caesar decide who should get what.
Matthew 7:3-5. Tell any leftwinger to look that up.
Even Robin Hood’s story has been bastardized by the leftists. He didn’t steal from ‘the rich’; he stole from the tax collector.
Socialism is a de facto religion, and it is an intolerant one. I have seen MANY socialists on my local newspaper message boards who explicitly say that people who oppose gay marriage should be imprisoned, that businesses run by gay marriage opponents should not be allowed in the city, that the government should shut down Fox News, that the churches should be taxed out of existence, etc. They are intolerant of differences, and they are haters.
Who would Jesus abort? How many genders does Jesus acknowledge.
Sojourners are Marxists pretending to be Christians. Jesus’s worldview was utterly theocentric, not left-wing politics masquerading as religion.
Could you ask a more ridiculous question? I doubt it.
Excellent point, but I also think that money you donate to charities only for income tax purposes are not really charities.
thanks Kaslin.
