phreakwars Posted October 11, 2010 Author Posted October 11, 2010 First of all, read the passage again, it says ALL of your shit, not just a couple can of beans to the food bank.. tell me it DOESN'T say that. At the end of every third year you shall bring out all the tithes of your produce for that year and deposit them in community stores, And second Welfare is taking away from those who earn it and giving it away to those who do not earn it.Republicans created welfare. Not Obama, the question was: So what has been taken from the rich and given to the poor? Where is all this socialist wealth spreading? I want some too. That was a reference to the current administration, not what has been going on for decades.. . Quote https://www.facebook.com/phreakwars
timesjoke Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 First of all, read the passage again, it says ALL of your sh t, not just a couple can of beans to the food bank.. tell me it DOESN'T say that. At the end of every third year you shall bring out all the tithes of your produce for that year and deposit them in community stores, Again, ever hear of food banks? Those are the community stores, please try to pay attention. And it says "all" as it pertains to the tithes, by spreading the full tithes of one year used in an every three year cycle, less people are helped when they need that help. I can only speak of the Churches I have been involved with but way more than 1/3 of the tithe we collect goes directly to the needy. You also see that under these rules only certain people are authorized to get help from these community stores. This was intended to help only those who have no other way of getting help, not as a community lazy house to sit around and get free food just because you are too lazy to work. Republicans created welfare. Not Obama, the question was: The Progressives jumped parties, Republicans are now the Conservatives Democrats used to be. So what has been taken from the rich and given to the poor? Where is all this socialist wealth spreading? I want some too. That was a reference to the current administration, not what has been going on for decades.. . Well it is English, if you intended the question to only be about the current administration you could have said that. Answer, the new healthcare law is giving away free medical insurance to millions of new people, this is estimated to cost the American taxpayer over three trillion dollars in the next ten years. Sounds like new socialist wealth spreading to me. And I am still waiting on you to admit you were wrong to attack my faith just because I do not agree with the Progressive desire to replace Religion devoted to God with religion devoted to Big Government. If you Progressive wackos are so interested in the separation of church and state, why do you have such a hard-on to take over a church driven agenda of taking care of the poor? I say let the Government take care of the Government, and let people take care of people. 1 Quote
phreakwars Posted October 11, 2010 Author Posted October 11, 2010 Admit I'm wrong about your faith? Hell you won't even acknowledge the bible tells you to be a socialist. Just one of those passage you want to interpret for your own selfish needs regardless of what it really says. . . Quote https://www.facebook.com/phreakwars
timesjoke Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Admit I'm wrong about your faith? Hell you won't even acknowledge the bible tells you to be a socialist. Just one of those passage you want to interpret for your own selfish needs regardless of what it really says. . . I would not call a voluntary following of a religious belief system socialist. One of the most defining elements of socialist beliefs is that an "all powerful" Government must take what I earn by force and give what was taken to someone else after they first use up most of what they took in buracracy. I agree that the Bible tells us to help the poor, but at the same time it also sets out rules for that help and is very strict not to give help to those who have the ability to help themselves or get help from places like their family "FIRST". The Bible also does not say it should be you Progressives and your massive Government entitity that should administer this help. I am following Christian teachings and then some bender, but you attacked my faith only because I would not agree that an "all powerful" Government is reasonable and needed to "fix" American's lives. You Progressives want to give "free money" to people even if they can work but only refuse to work out of being lazy. Quote

timesjoke Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Who said anything about the government getting involved? . . You did, you say it all the time. As one example you say the Government should provide free healthcare to everyone in America. You Progressives all suport the notion that we need "Big Government" to "fix" our lives. Quote
eddo Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 So Bender, Government = God? I think that is a big part of the issue here. Some folks want Government to be God, because us poor peons can't ever decide for ourselves what is right and what is wrong. I agree that we should take care of those less fortunate. I do not agree with anyone but God telling me that I have to. Quote I'm trusted by more women.

I do not agree with anyone but God telling me that I have to. Yes, that is exactly what he is saying. Bender is saying that because it is in the Bible that people should tithe, that it is reasonable for an "all powerful" Government to step in and take over that job. When I resist his idea to have an "all powerful" Government do these things, he attacks my faith and says I am not a Christian if I don't want his Government "god" to take the place of my God. Progressives want to take God's place in the world. Quote
