WRONG, it is the churches responsibility to take care of these issues, not the governments. Idiots.

Correct. There is an awful lot of wealth floating around in thousands of member churchs of the NCCC. Let themn use their own money first.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I am not sure it is the church's responsibility or the government's. It is a sign of decency to give to the poor and needy. Certainly the Christian should be decent. But the responsibility of government is not to redistribute wealth, though I do think good government puts a safety net in place for the most innocent and vulnerable, like homeless children. We do not want starving children begging in the streets do we?

The responsibility of the church is to preach the gospel. I have no problem with Christians grouping together to tackle temporal problems in a fallen world. Like I said, it is an attribute of decent, civilized people. We just need to remember that it is no sin to be rich or poor, and that very often the difference has a direct correlation to work ethic. You reap what you sow. Your offspring also reap what you sow as well as what they sow, and if they learned to be an illiterate, complaining, chump from you then they will reap the fruits of that. It is unjust to force productive people to aid others in their bad habits and sinful lifestyles. So there are many things to weigh.

Our church is going to have some gatherings to talk about the upcoming elections. I can’t wait to have discussions with these ‘60s libs.
