A group of Afghan children collect packets of food aid after an U.S. aircraft completed a night time air drop over a refugee camp in Kumkishlyak in Northern Afghanistan, October 25, 2001. Afghanistan's ruling Taliban on Thursday dismissed as U.S. propaganda a Pentagon statement that they intended to poison food dropped by U.S. aircraft or provided by humanitarian groups to Afghan civilians. The Pentagon said on Wendesday that it had received information the Taliban may poison the food supplies to Afghan civilians and blame the United States. REUTERS/Vasily Fedosenko

And you say your faith is the most important thing to you? You deny Christ right there by your statement.
Romans 12:19-21 On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."
The Sheep and the Goats: Matthew 25:31-46
v44-45 "They also will answer, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?" He will reply, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me."
I pity you at this point. It is a sad thing, when one confesses Christ and is as miserable as you. Anger like yours cannot reside in a heart committed to Him. "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. (GAL 5:22-23).
James 1:27 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
Bored me to death is more like it.
Where have you or anyone here mentioned them? I contribute to the Navaho missions run by my church..but you never asked..I am saving to do a medical mission there next year. but see I dont need you to affirm me..BTW I worked in innercity clincs for 15 years...where do you work..or is it easier to send in your dollar?
Yup, diagnosis complete. College leftie or AlQuida accomplice, confirmed by use of liberal technique #1 - when you can't argue logically, insult, in the hopes that your enemy will run, crying, away.
How long have you been on FR? That technique simply won't work here, there are too many educated FReepers who don't fall for it.
BTW, I haven't seen you logically refute ANY of the Biblical passages from the New Testament preaching Christ's teaching compassion and charity towards one'e enemies. Instead, you throw in OT passages regarding Israel's history and use them out of context in order to try and show that God is a god of vengeance - another classic technique used by those who want to diss Christianity.
AMEN!
What, pray tell, was your assignment? Could it have been The Ugly American, because that's what you sound like.
I'd love to, but hubby says our two boys already keep him pulling out his hair enough! Life is great surrounded by boys - I usually have 5 or 6 at my house on the weekend, half of them sleeping over.
Even the dog is male, accckk!
Funny, I had that same thought. I have never met someone (myself included) that has done mission work overseas with such a hardened heart. It is such a pity. I know it grieves His heart to hear RnMomof7's comments.
Logic?
What is this "logic?"
Sounds demonic or at least liberal to me. A good Christian don't need no stinkin' logic. </sarcasm
I don't tell those people where the "money" or personal items come from for that is not what it's about.
I send what I can to campaigns like GWB's or to assist in his legal battle for the Presidency.
But unlike you I don't build myself up in self-righteousness. I'm not a "good" Christian...I'm a human being who aspires to be a person my Lord would want me to be.
So the God of the OT isnt the God of the New?
Yawn, more tiresome insults from frat boy Ali Al Queda.
Expected answer: Oh, No! Of course a suburban, SUV driving, Church going, suit wearing, WHITE middle class American woman would/could NEVER adopt a child who was "socially unacceptable" (acceptable, spelled correctly, oh, and before I forget, prerequisite; better change colleges, frat boy).
Whatsoever would one tell one's bridge club? And, the poor child would no doubt be mistaken for a caddy down at the Country Club, just wouldn't do...
Reality Check: I would take them all, if I could and I could care less what color or religion they are. That is what MY Lord expects and demands of me. In His eyes, all are equal. And, what a way to lead others to Him.
Kinda like the food drops.
Do not go wandering off into Anthrax. Why not respond to the NEW Testament citations which obliterate your anti-Christian attitude?
Why not do that?
Huh?
