Such BS is to guilt-trip Christians of good will to support massive government. There is great wisdom in the adage “charity begins at home.”
IMHO our first responsibility is to those to whom God has entrusted into our care. Next comes those in our immediate community.
There is little an American Christian can do about the alleged 30K mentioned, but he can make a difference in the local food bank for example.
That is if you even consider so-called "swearing" a sin. I don't see how or why a handful of old Anglo-Saxon words are any worse than any other English word. What is the big deal?
Jesus didn’t cuss when he was teaching.
As we say in Alcoholics Anonymous, “profanity is not a sign of spiritual growth.”
Is Campola’s message a big gov message? I don’t pay that much attention to him. Didn’t know if he was from the Jim Wallis church of liberal witchcraft…
Forget what you’ve been told about the golden rule — God doesn’t love you more if you do good things, or if you believe certain things. God, [Bolz-Weber] argues, offers you grace regardless of who you are or what you do.
What’s worse is that you’re more upset with the fact that I said s**t than the fact that 30,000 kids died last night.”
Any one can see the reason kids are going hungry is because of the feel good about themselves people like this guy that would not pee on another if they were on fire but just try to make some one else do it.
The reason kids are going hungry is because people like him thinks the world owes them a living, half of them look for people that they can bilk out a living from and the other half jumps around like a grasshopper from bed to bed and expects some one else to pay for the results.
It is about money and nothing else on the so called pastors part.
Ancient Aramaic? Sorry, don’t know it. I have no choice but to use the language of the “world”
Profanity stems from within the heart that is not clean. Have I ever used profane language? Rarely. Why, because the couple times I did, I felt that it grieved the Spirit, and was not showing that I was being conformed to the image of Christ. What happened to that part, anyway...the “being conformed to the image of Christ”? We are also to be careful not to encourage the weaker brother. When we don’t allow the Spirit to change us, we are showing the weaker brother that a halfhearted attempt at the Christian life is good enough. We are not saved by our works, but our works and the things that proceed from our mouth give testimony to the work of the HS within, and that is very important. Important for the growth of others, as well, as we are examples to others, whether we realize this or not.
She provides evident that Paul knew what he was talking about when he wrote this under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost:
“Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.”
1 Timothy 2:11-14
You couldn’t pay me to listen to a “sermon” from him. If I want liberalism and profanity, I’ll just watch the regular Hollywood TV show or movie.
No, taking the name of the Lord in vain is a serious sin.
Any pastor who swore would not have any credibility with me.
I will, when I see porkers complete undergraduate pilot training.
The only fowl language I want to hear from the minister is telling one of our members “I hope you are cooking up a batch of your chicken for the pot luck next Sunday.”
Offensive. I wouldn’t listen to anyone who defaced their body like that for even one minute.
The only foreign language I am fairly fluent in is English.
