Jesus DID throw out the money chargers from the Temple.
Having righteous outrage at theives and liars is no sin.
Destorying property? Rocks? Sniper attacks? no.
This is a declaration of economic war against the producers of this country. To rob us and then kill us with their phony health care bill.
The coming avalanche of the loss of freedom is going try to slowly crush the middle class, like a frog in warm water when the gas has just been turned on.
There is a way to stop this insanity. But it will take a large amount of anger and willingness to stand up, to do it.
The crux of this current economic mess is the Credit Swaps. These CDSs are insurance for the mortgage backed securities, MBS, that they made up and sold. They are dependent on a steady stream of money from mortgages. This is what is holding up the Federal government, and even the FED has this stuff on its books right now.
Dont pay the mortgage. This WILL collapse the system. It will kill the dollar, it will kill the ability of this country to get loans, they wouldnt be able to PAY FOR ANY OF THIS TO THEIR CRONIES, PUBLIC SERVANTS, if we push this system over the cliff.
Think about it. It would work, but are enough people willing to give the government a push, are enough people awake to want to think outside the box?
Jesus, the apostle Paul (Acts 17-18), and Apollos (Acts 18) were all harshest on the religious legalists of that era 2,000 years ago. The apostle Paul treated the polytheistic pagans very well on Mars Hill (Acts 17), speaking sensitively to them.
Colson in his quote makes sure people understand that he wasn't referencing the religious legalists of our day -- best represented by the precept/commandment/ordinance monger Mormons. So apparently the document covers how one Christian treats another.
Jesus didn't define the legalistic Pharisees and teachers of the law as God's people; in fact, per John 8, He said their father was Satan.
This has to be the single most ignorant piece of advice I've ever seen on Free Republic in my 9 years here. Don't pay the mortgage, the bank forecloses, Sheriff's deputies escort you from the premises and good luck finding someone willing to sell/rent you something decent with that on your credit report.
