the rich man came to jesus and said what must I do to get to heaven.Jesus said give your riches to the poor and follow me.
As, christians we serve god 1st.We are to have something set aside to help others in the church and outside for tuff times.In the recent past an attitude came up and said we will not help our brother,but let him help himself.I am the me 1st person.No free handouts to those in need.
So,the:devil: said I will bring abortion and sex into America.
That generation sat on the behinds and let it happen.
If we are not obeying god and blessing are brothers in need
as jesus did what are we doing?
salvation is a hand out.If you feel that no handouts are the way give your salvation back and pay for it with good works.
I know the church has centers to help women who are pregnant.fact!
In America in recent years I saw the teaching in school of me 1st.When you say no free hand outs that is not from the bible.We are to take care of those in need.If we do not the the Goverment steps in and will.So,if the church does not complete its job some one else will.
Because I have siezures and am on medicene I do have a heart for those in need.We have to rely on gods people to answer that call when needed.
Are some of you saying that you are against health care
I'm saying forcing people to do good is wrong. I'm sorry, but that isn't how it works. And I'm also sorry...but it's a little selfish. You want to force people to help you. Maybe you need to look for a different church or something. And the problem with universal health care is...it's not going to make it better. Do you have a job?
Yes I am not working right now.I was layed off in May. Going crazy sitting around the house.Nothing to do.Unemploment here in northwest Ohio huge-17%. We are not getting better here.
I volunteer at a cat rescue.Hey, it is something to do once a week.Also,going back to school.I was not able to just sit at home.
I have recently moved closer to where my parents live.Found a new church and everything.:peace::peace:
For you Mark. It is hard to lose your job and your wife says good by no job no marriage. I was surprised.The marriage was over in 6 weeks of my being told by her.Yes,it can move that fast.No fight from file date.I had not the abilty to fight.I am lucky that a friend may buy the house.Good christian friend.
Hitthatmark I am ok with your opinions.
If it is goverment paid health care that gets me my medicene to prevent seizures I must have that.See my point.If it is called socialized medicene and helps me until I get a job with insurance again then I am ok with it. Once more do you see my point.:peace: It is ok,Keep your views friend.:waving:
I want every high schooler, every voter, and EVERY politician to MEMORIZE the following:
You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
Sorry....but I don't want 50 years of socialized medicine so you can have "in-between jobs" medication....no offense...but that's a high price to pay for a few months of help.
Several facts 1st- it was the Russian czar who was responsible for communism.He chose not to take care of his people.They had peaceful marches in front of the homes of the rich.So, the czar
sent troops to run them down.The church was silent!!!!!!
It is not are problem.Sounds like I heard thie before.:ROFL: :peace: If you are going to speak out against communism know all the facts.Yet, friends the commies still were not strong enough.August 1914 WW1 started.All the major nations invilved were christian nations.The czar went to war unwilling to feed his people.That caused a revolution.When you write something we all leave out details.This causes misunderstandings.:peace::peace: What do you think god did to us for killing other christians?
Jesus said give to Rome what belongs to Rome and give to the church what belongs to the church.Heard that before friends?
When I 1st got saveed I had no insurance being young and immature I did not have the money so I could not buy my medicene.Some ladies found out and I got the word of god in my face.:bow: Yes sir I understand!!!!!! God says the church is told to take care of those who have needs.
Oh, by the way in all honesty you have no possions everything you have is a free gift from god.It is and never will be yours.Everything you have belongs to god.
The richman went to jesus and said what must I do to go to heaven.What did Jesus say?Sell everything you have and follow me. :peace:
The Russian church turned its back on the hungry they chose not to obey.The commies blew up many churches.The czar was killed and for 70 years the Russians paid.
Manof god is god only for America?You have given me that feeling. We are not of this world but of the kingdom of god.
You are a citizen of heaven not of a worldly country. ouch!!!!
:peace: I am making a point.
Would you support bring the gospel to a communist country? Who are we to decide how it is done.:peace: If we improve relations with communist countries we can get the gospel in better.Many churches have missionaries in china now.They are beginning to open the door.:peace:
Would you die for a communist??? ouch.:stop::bow:
JONAH disobeyed god and ran the other way.WHY? because those people were enemies of Israel and no good dogs.Maybee they were socialist.Jesus is for everbody and we are not to say well they are evil or attack them.You are to love them to christ.
Even if you have to die.
As for hitthatmark and you it never was tour money.It is gods. A free hand out!!!! It was given freely to you from god.
We are part of gods country 1st.
Did my trip that I talked about bother you.The one to the Ukraine. My Jesus can save a x-communist. Can yours? Are you filled with so much hate for them that you can not see the truth?
I lost friends when I made my trip to the Ukraine.Some beieve jesus is for America.
