Actually it's the banks and corporations that control congress now.

Looks like it's a love triangle then. -

Let's see, you seem to indicate that, for example, Hillary Clinton & hubby Bill have never, ever taken one cent from people like Soros and friends. Since you always seem to have all sorts of documentation readily at hand to disrespect any person or group that doesn't conform to your standards and practices, please post the details on your friends--not just the Clintons--who've ever either ran for or occupied any single local, state-wide, or federal political office over, say, the last 50 years.
I'm positive you've got all this detailed info right at hand; therefore, I'd like to read it myself. There's probably others who'd like to read it as well. -

"When did I say deport all the Samaritans?
When did I command you not feed and take care of the poor?
When did I command you not help children in need?
When did I command that you give big tax breaks to the rich and tiny ones to the poor? -

You did not mention Conservatives, those who are spiritual, ect. -
But as someone else noted, Jesus never commanded the government to do these things. He commanded His followers to do these things. Trust me, I've known plenty of liberals who believe using the police power of government to extract wealth from one person in order to give it to another is a great form of charity. It's not, but they believe it is. -

Typical liberal! Adding to Scripture!
It is a fact that Republicans and Conservatives give far more to charities and churches than liberals. Joe Biden is the typical liberal when it comes to giving:

When did he say Rome should not take care of the poor? NEVER! We know from his teachings that Christ was concerned about the poor, children, the sick, widows, etc. He never restricted us in how they should be helped. Your reply is simply that of a materialistic, selfish conservative trying to avoid his responsibility toward others.
I do not believe he ever spoke about abortion in one way or another. That does not mean, as your logic above would imply, that he approves of abortion. I don't think he would, but he did not speak about that topic.
You can be against abortion and feel morally right and I think you are. But your are immoral if you support abortion but oppose taking care of the children once they are born, against feeding those in need, against healthcare for them, against educating them. Being against helping them once they are born makes your stance an immoral stance ... once that Christ would oppose.
Your self-righteous rantings ring hollow as long as you oppose helping those kids once they are born.Click to expand...
Socialists don't care about the poor. They're only concerned with the redistribution of wealth and they use the poor as an excuse to do it.
I'm pretty sure Christ opposes lying in order to make stealing sound noble.
I submit that socialists are guilty of violating these commandments.
Exodus 20
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Socialists covet what their neighbor has then lie about the reasons they want the government to steal it from them and all so they can strut around an act like they're the only ones concerned with helping the poor.Click to expand... -

C'mon, CTB, you know better than to argue from silence. Just because Jesus did not command the Roman government to do something does not mean that He desires the opposite. That argument is just as bad as the claim I heard back in January that Jesus did not bleed during the scourging and crucifixion, simply because the Bible does not say he did. -

A question. Do you see anything or any teaching in the life of Jesus while on earth that indicates he opposes the government helping the poor, the ill, children, widows, etc? -
Looks to me that you're still arguing from silence.
I gather that you therefore contend that all TV evangelistic programs are in opposition to Christ's teachings because He never taught that He wanted His teachings telecast over the airwaves.
I see nothing in the Gospel accounts where He said to do so.
A person can argue from silence about almost everything his fertile mind can come up with.
Arguing from silence is about the same as the same as telling a person that, if you read between the lines in your Bible, you'll find lots of things--Mary's sinlessness, and that she's the way to get to Jesus in your prayers, etc.
I've read between the lines in my Bible, and I get as much information as I do as reading an argument from silence---NADA, zilch, nothing.
