    When you post an op and others disagree with it you attack them even personally and then get angry when they respond in any kind of way. I am sorry you are angry and I will leave you alone to compose yourself. I hope you can do better in the future.

    As I have repeatedly said Rev., I am not angry. I never get angry over these little matters or from the rantings of little men/women. What I would like, and you seem incapable of doing, is having a clam discussion. You simply go off calling people liberal, socialist, Communist. That is not calm discussion. Also, you and others, never really speak to the real topic. Usually you get stuck on the title, which I do not create, but clip from the article cited.

    Now, try reading the articles and responding to the message in them instead of continually trying to divert the subject or in calling political names.

    By the way, I am not liberal, socialist nor Communist. I am a populist. A Populist is a person who believes that the interests of the average person in a society should be represented and that the poor, the ill, the elderly and children in need should be taken care of. I have also said that the government would not have to have such programs if the churches, including yours, would carry out the commands of Christ.

    So, again, please try to have a clam, rational reply and discussion. Thanks in advance.

    I am not opposed to helping those in need, in fact, churches are expected to those in such matters. What I am opposed to is helping those who are too lazy to work. People are too sorry to work and get an SSI check(card now) food stamps, gov't issued medical card, help paying their heating bills in the winter, &c. What else could they want and/or need? A lot of them that get a gov't provided medical card have a less than $5 co-pay on their medicines and they turn around and sell them on the streets. My brother-in-law recently found out he has a bulging disc. He went and got put on food stamps, 2 $200 clothing vouchers for his two kids, and four medical cards(him and his wife and 2 kids). There is no incentive to work!!

    Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.[1 Tim. 5:8]

    In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”[2 Thess. 3:6-10]

    It is the churches' responsibility to help, not keep up, people. God does not like laziness,monsieur.

    Not to argue as I am not. Here is scripture:

    Several people,including me, have responded to the OP point by point and been ignored.

    You are a supporter of the "party of death", the Socialist democrat party, a party that celebrates the slaughter of the unborn child. The only thing they care about is power and they will do whatever is necessary to gain power!

    You, claiming to be a populist, makes as much sense as the bag lady, Hillary Clinton, claiming she and Billy were in debt when they left the White House.

    You quote a lot of Scripture but you left the following out!

    [b\]color=darkred]Proverbs 6:16-19
    16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
    17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
    18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
    19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
    [/color][/b]

    Whose blood is more innocent than that of the unborn child?

    Which party in this country is more anti-Christian; the leftist democrat party, disciples of Marx!
