I am a Bible-believing Christian, but I was under the impression that “the Constitution imposes a separation of church and state.” (which it doesn’t, of course) In for a penny, in for a pound, I say. If you want to base government on Christian faith, let’s go! I don’t think that is what many want, however.
Beware of those who pray loudly on street corners.
As long as we’re doing Bible verses for public policy, how about this one:
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you: that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
2 Thessalonians 3:10
Good one.
Nowhere, no how does the Bible support taking from some to give to others. Coveting other people’s stuff is a no-no. There is not one-NOT ONE-Republican who opposes taking from people to give to others. NOT ONE. Once you open that door just a little bit you open the door for Obama and Warren and others of their ilk.
They all support welfare for the “needy” (I heard Limbaugh support this. The only difference is that Liberals are more compassionate and “generous:. “Conservatives” are stingier. Democrats see more needy people than Dems. But don’t worry. They always catch up.
It’s easy to feel charitable and generous with other people’s money, Gov Kasich.
We are $18 trillion in debt. Stealing money from college students, pretending they have a chance at prosperity when they won’t even have health care
Pretending the government can care for our health pretending they care about our health
Pretending this is anything other than data mining at ten thousand per family on its way to total socialism
Hugh Hewitt likes kasich a lot
Always a warning sign. Hewitt is Pollyanna and a nasty version
Every time
Where does he find any verse of scripture calling for government to take care of the poor? This duty is given to each Christian, and if each of us helped those in need that we personally know, poverty would be much less burdensome.
God knows that corrupt governments are the least likely to be able to help those in need. Kasich should know it,too.
Did I miss something, does the Bible state there is a tax penalty for NOT being charitable?
The Bible says that if you don’t work you should not eat.
So the Bible does not support the welfare state.
Here again we have another liberal who never reads the bible using verses out of context. This is a favored Alinsky tactic used often as of late.
Another liberal perverting the Gospel. What else is new?
Mandatory insurance is the real issue. Why can't I pay my doctor the $150 for a checkup instead of $5000 a year for insurance?
Post of the day.

The way many are pushing it lately I’m going to guess Obama has added an incentive to get governors to raise their enrollment figures -commissions. It would make a lot of sense because too many people have been shifting their positions about 0’Care lately. Now to get one of them to admit it.
> Of course, if what Kasich says is true, and Obamacare is Bible-based, then it is a CLEAR violation of the left’s precious “separation of Church and State” and is, therefore, an unconstitutional usurpation of our rights under the 1st Amendment.

You get an A+ ...: )
And here I thought you were smarter than everyone else in McKees Rocks...
References to Church Government.
Are we officially a Christian Nation? Can we now pray in school? Should teachers now be compelled to preach the gospel of Christ to their students?
If not, then the government has no business taking our money and doling it out to others on the pretext that they are doing God's work.
