This must be a new gospel—salvation through government force.
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.
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
The government takes with the power of the sword.
Anything else would be slavery...or robbery...take your pick....
You nailed it.
Communism was based on a lot of truths in the NT - with the huge difference being that communism is forced upon everyone, Christianity is the result of a changed heart and motives, and totally voluntary.
One is slavery, the other is freedom, and love.
If I give to the poor only because I am forced to, there is zero credit in that. If I give because I want to, that is a virtue.
Kasich is incredibly blind and/or stupid to not see this.
Not only is it not Biblical, it represents the shirking of an individual, biblically directed duty. What Kasich is advocating is for people to abandon their God directed opportunity for blessing, ignore the direction of Christ, and “let government do it”...for which there is no blessing for anyone.
This advice is worse than misguided, it is evil.
I used to hold Kasich in high regard. Not any more. He is a charlatan Christian, claiming to follow the Bible but using it falsely to promote his agenda - apparently he has been possessed by demons and is directed by Satan...or he thinks his current stance is politically expedient (but I repeat myself, don’t I?)
