Socialism sounds great when you’re hiding behind tax-free status.
Usually we say ignorance is bliss, but in this case ignorance is dangerous.
I’m sure there are some good black preachers out there, but unfortunately we don’t hear from them. Seems we get the idiots.
pUKe university....not known as being a bastion of Biblicaly based theology.
‘Barber took a shot at Republicans, saying, “If you want to have a moral debate, bring it on, baby.”’
‘Matt 26:10 But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. 11 For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always.’
The truth is you could give everyone $1 million and some would quickly be looking for welfare.
Marriage between 2 men? Sure!Marriage between a man, child, cat and dog? Why not?Abortion? YES!What kind of god allows that?
Good basic questions, ... yes Barber, let’s start with using the Bible to define marriage .... between one man and one woman. Or coveting thy neighbor’s property? How do demokrapic litmus tests like those square with the Bible? Except he and his ilk would never answer any of them because they don’t have to answer them. The Bible is being distorted, used for political purposes, used by the left as usual on the masses to help incrementally advance a leftist agenda. Yes, this is a time to respond to them with the old “separation of church and state”. And with pray for them, for our country.
When Jesus healed the man at the pool he told him to take up his bed and walk, when he healed the 10 lepers he told them to show themselves to the Priests—in other words, integrate back into society and get back to work. Show me one scripture where Jesus told Caesar to help the poor. Charity is not a government function—it’s a personal one.
I never noticed all of that last line from Randy Watson’s sole fan in the audience. Sorry about that.
Keep talking... all the way to 2020... :)
Thanks Marv.
Thanks Marv.
Where is screwing everything that walks, in the bible?
I believe that’s in Clintonians 1. 1-12.
OK, OK.
Let me throw a real socialism “from the chapter and verse” argument (observation ?) “from the Bible”.
The only time “socialism” is mentioned in the Bible is ALSO the specific time that “socialism” IS ENFORCED BY the community (the government) ON TO the population BY DEATH to anyone who tries to avoid the government.
Acts 5:1 to 5:11
Ananias and Saphira sold property, but only donated a part of their receipts to the socialist community.
Both were immediately accused and immediately killed without trial or opportunity for repentance nor appeal.
Yes. Sounds right. The “glories” of socialism as practiced by the earliest “church.” But that was NOT what Christ himself actually preached. He talked about the workers in the vineyard who got paid as the owner wanted, the servant who ruled fairly to the creditors to get favor with the manager, etc.
Jesus paid for you .. and you should be ashamed you had a debt you couldn’t pay and someone else had to pay it for you...and humble that someone that didn’t have to ..did.
In Socialism..you demand and expect somone to pay for you.. that goverment enforce it.. in Socialism Jesus is the villain.. the rich kid who dad own everthing....the hero in a Socialist reading of the bible is Pontius Pilate ..a governor who made the evil rich pay your bills
